What's the most I should pay for a 2018? Looking at the latest replies, 15k off msrp appears to be better than average for a 2018, and 10k off is the norm (both including the 5k incentive rebate)..so 12.5k off?

The most you pay is what you’re willing to pay. If it was me I’d pay no more than $75K OTD for an ‘18 including 5k rebate. That would be tough but I also know that time would be on my side and there will be low mileage ‘17s and even ‘18s CPOs out in the coming 6-12 months that will be several thousand less.

Thank you for your input. In March of this year Lexus Carlsbad was offering a '17 White/red delivery miles car for $69k + TTL, wifey talked me into an F-Sport instead and now all I find myself doing is searching again for a great deal like that, of course I'm going to take a bath on taxes, trade in, but the heart wants what it wants. Best of luck with your search, I know you have been looking for awhile too. I even find myself going back to the '17 CPO USB car down the road that has some imperfections thinking to myself that with a good paint correction they would all but disappear, just can't get over the stratus grey interior.

Just pulled the trigger on a new 2017 White on Red GSF. I am thinking that this may have been the car you were talking about? They were eager to move the car so I think I got a pretty good deal. I negotiated down to 65K + TTL. I was also looking at a New 2017 White on Black GSF in Thousand Oaks, but they would only go down to 69K. If anyone in CA is still looking, I believe it is still available.

Can you confirm what dealer it was? Escondido has one too with the same spec but were not as willing to move on the price.

That is a great deal IMO. They wouldn't budge past $69k + TTL back in March. If it was the Carlsbad car it only had 73 miles on it and was in perfect condition.

Any of you buy Extended warranty, Prepaid Maintenance, or Tire and Wheel protection? Also, I spoke to a sales rep there and he said they will probably only have the GS available for special order in the future... Not sure how accurate that is, but just an FYI.

Thanks guys. So far I am loving the car. It had about 160 miles on it (they said they had to drive it from Los Angeles to their dealership), but was sold as a new car.

So the search continues.

Congrats, I remember that car, it's a great buy. I'm pretty lit up right now. Was working a deal with South Bay on a red LCert, loaded to the gills for 61K. Had a wire transfer ready and was ready to have 10K charged to my card to hold the car. Since I'm in TX it would have taken me 3 days to get there so I'd would have picked it up Thursday or so. Sales manager started putting up excuses, then finance (they were adamant on me filling their online credit app) and then the gen sales doofus ("manager") said he would only hold the car for 24 hrs because he had to appointments booked sunday (nobody works sundays).
So the search continues.

I am finding out that most dealers are the same, doesnt matter if they sell a 100K Lexus, they still act like a Kia dealer selling a 15K car to people with a credit score of 550. I was certainly not expecting this from cali, but whatever.
Back on topic, the salesman emailed me saying that they were wholesaling the car in two weeks, I thanked him for his time and effort, and told him to tell his managers that they're all idiots.
