When I got my 200t, I saw a black GS-F for $799 a month and 5k down. Sometimes I think I shouldve gotten that. haha...

Price question for new GSF.
I have been thinking about getting a new car to update from my stock 2008 ISF with 82K miles on it and my considerations are all the normal suspect cars consisting of the GTR, Z06 and the GSF (all new).
Here is what they just offered me this past Saturday morning:
- $10K down
- Trade-in my stock never-tracked 2008 ISF (they offered me $27K)
- 3.94% interest
- 72 month loan
- Equates to a $710 monthly payment
I would appreciate anyone's advice and/or opinions on the above and here is where I have the most apprehension/heartburn:
1) Interest rate. I have 1.9% through my credit union but I told Lexus they could have a crack at trying to beat my rate (this was before the 0%'s came out) so why would they try to gouge me so hard here with 3.94% knowing what rate I had access to being I gave them the approval letter?
2) The dealership thinks I am dumber than I look. They have to think I am just an absolute idiot and would not notice the huge loan rate discrepancy. I do not want to believe that one...
Before I get all upset, what do you guys think about these numbers?
Thanks!

It's interesting to see that Lexus discontinued the special leasing/financing rates for both GS-F and RC-F while keeping the special rates for all other models after the Golden Opportunity Sales event. Hopefully Lexus will re-introduce those special rates for their December to Remember event as I'm one of them who are waiting for a better deal in December. Now the question is will Lexus add the power trunk opener/closer button, rear and side window sunshades and heated steering wheel option for 2017. It'll be an interesting December for me, that's for sure.

Exactly!! I'm not sure why Lexus decides to remove that feature entirely for the US version of GS-F. I don't believe it's even an option that one can order. In contrast, most, if not all, of the GS350 F-Sports cars that I've seen here in CA have the heated steering wheel, rear sunshade and the power trunk closer options included.

If it's a done deal, just enjoy the car and don't worry about the missing options. GS-F is still a tremendous car without the options I've listed. As a potential future owner, of course I'd want to have all the options included in the car, but if Lexus decides to offer special financing/leasing rates on the 2016 GS-F in December, I'm sure I'll jump on it if a good deal presents itself.
I hate the fact the Toyota/Lexus is typically very tight-lipped about changes for their upcoming vehicles, but oh well, it is what it is. I just hope Lexus engineers make tweaks/changes to the GS-F with every new model year like they did with the IS-F in order to continuously improving the car. BTW, congrats on the new ride, remember to post pics once you get it!!

Sorry to tell you guys but I don't think Lexus will be putting those features on the gsf due to it being a track inspired car. Those features will increase the weight and with all the features already on the car they kept it close to the weight of the Rcf. Tho options are in the fsport due to the fsport being a looks only made car but the f is track inspired luxury and to at least keep up with the cars in its class weight was definitely a factor. But we will see. Maybe I'm wrong

I don't know if they were trying to save weight but...Canadian Spec GSF is equipped with Heated Steering Wheel, Side Window Shades, Rear Power Shade as well as Rear Climate Controls/Audio Controls via Rear Armrest.
I am wondering whether Steering wheel across all F line is same (Maybe someone can check the Part # for GSF canadian spec & US Spec)

GSF does have soft close trunk option like 3rd Gen GS.
