Been wanting up upgrade from my 2014 IS for awhile, and I knew the deals would soon be coming on the 2016 GS as they have not been selling all too well.

Been talking to multiple dealers, and they have been offering $11,500 off sticker right out of the gate.

Anybody own a 200t or looking to buy one? I havent gone to drive one yet, but possibly will this weekend.

For an F sport, nav, and ML? Pretty good for July discount.

Drive one, then drive a 350...

Agreed. Great fuel economy but performance is not the same.

You may want to investigate why Lexus is discounting the GS 200t so much. I think you'll learn that not many people want this GS version - a.k.a. poor sales of the GS 200t. As rld14 said; "Drive one, then drive a 350..."

I wish - I can't even find a F Sport within 500 miles of Atlanta - I know the auto magazines all tested one, but I am not sure if Lexus stopped making them....? I see you can build one on the Lexus USA website, but I see none for sale anywhere near me.

And I agree with the try the 350 comments, but coming from the IS 250, I am thinking the 200t would be enough for me, but maybe not....

The F-Sport GS200t's are well--rare... if you want one with a discount maybe special order one with everything and try to get a good deal before 2017's roll out? or just get the 350 tbh

I have no issue with the GS200t, but in the F Sport version it makes no sense (pricewise).

From lexus.com:

GS200t RWD F Sport: $53,285
GS350 RWD F Sport: $54,115

Only $830 separates the two. In the case of the F Sport, the 350 is a no brainer, at least in my opinion.

At the base model level:

GS200t RWD: $45,615
GS350 RWD: $50,000

So at least here you can save some coin by going with the 200t.

I think because of this, they won't push the 200t F Sport very much.

The 350 will blow the 200t off the water. That turbo lag is horrible. The 200 engines shouldn't even make it to the GS line, it's a laughingstock!

There's lots of cars that you can "build" on Lexus' website but they likely don't exist.

Here's a great example of that:




If a base Nightfall/Flaxen 200t is in stock anywhere in America with JUST Nav+Levinson I'll.... I'll... I'll drive a Prius for a week.

UNC1334

Valid - I didn't realize how close they are in price. Makes no sense to even consider going the F route with the 200t.



Also, to whomever mentioned the Nightfall Mica with flaxen - I agree!

rld14

Well,

On a GS200t you've got $4,650 lease cash vs $2,500 on the GS350 (At least here in the northeast) and on a retail it's $2,500 vs $1,500 so that does open the delta up a tad.

Also the lease residual is 2 points higher on the 200t.

The GS450h FSport also exist only on paper, at least here in CA I've never seen one. I've seen a non FSport which is probably imported from another state or special ordered.

i have a is200t loaner. turbo lag city. mpg not so great at all for a 4 cyl. engine feels unrefined. coming from a gs350 this is a joke.

rld14

Oddly enough I have a 2013 GS450h on the lot, a Lux with ML that I bought online from LFS out of Santa Monica.
