12thManGS

Hello Everyone,

I previously owned a 2014 GS350 AWD, awesome car, loved it.
Unfortunately i was t-boned and the car was totaled.

I ended up leasing a 2016 E350 4matic. The car is nice, but not the right car for me. I have found someone to take over my current lease, and I want to go back to the GS.

What are your suggestions on model? I want to keep it within the 60k MSRP range, so not going for the F.
What is the verdict on the turbo? Cant imagine a 4cyl in this car....

Also, can anyone recommend a good dealer for a lease, I am in WA state.
What are the current lease deals, can anyone share what they have gotten recently?
Appreciate the help,
RG

You can lease a CPO now.

V6 Engine, no turbo's pushing around 307hp I believe, handling is very good....on F Sport

Welcome back, and go Hawks!

I'm still not seeing any good lease deals on the '16 GS. I use Lexus of Seattle, and have always had good experiences there, but your best bet is to probably get Seattle and Bellevue competing against each other. I have no experience with Tacoma or Spokane.

Good luck!

Yep, pretty much all brands offer this option, but dealers will never tell you about it, because they really want to move the new cars on their lots.
I remember seeing BMW 3/4 series, 1 year old going for $167/m with like $2,000 down.

Actually I see Lexus market the l/certified leases pretty heavily.

I heard that it's not worth leasing a CPO unless it's at least 3 years old, especially cars with high residuals. Also, the incentives and negotiations are much less when leasing a CPO.

i think the biggest factor when leasing CPO is to make sure you have warranty during your lease. If the car can be returned without replacing the brakes and tires then another big plus.

If you want to take over my lease of my 15 F Sport with $5,000 incentive, let me know.

If its a CPO its going to have the CPO warranty during your lease.

Here is the deal I have so far, what does everyone think?
This is coming out of California:

Rebates - $2,500 plus first months payment
Money Factor - 0.00110
Residual on 10,000 miles - 55%
$0 down - $556 a month plus tax.
36 months with 10,000 miles a year.

I've been lurking as my 2-year lease is expiring at the end of this year. I know at that time, many of us were getting very strong leasing offers on the 2015 GS 350s but I haven't seen anyone coming close yet. May be that the 2017 models are not going to be incentivized until closer to the end of the year. To put in perspective of what I am hoping to at least get offered again, my lease last time around was roughly:

$58,000 MSRP (F-Sport Package)
2-Year Lease Term
12k Miles Per Year
$0 Down - Standard First Month Free
$509/Month Including Taxes (Southern California - so call it $460ish before taxes)

Anyone seeing anything similar so far in Southern California?

My lease:

2016 gs200t (nav, summer wheels, comfort package I think)
$50930 MSRP
$39xxx with rebates
36 month lease
15k a year

$26,9xx residual
$536 including tax (so cal)

Can you give me some details on your lease? I am in MD and I'm about to buy a '13 GS, but haven't committed yet. Thanks.
