Nevermind, I see that you're in Texas. Location doesn't show up in mobile. I am trying to see if I can somehow replicate this in the Pacific Northwest. Thanks.

Unfortunately you are not likely to find deals like that in Seattle area.

MSRP: 60200
Updated MSRP: 58200
Sale price: 45300
What do you mean by "updated MSRP"?

Care to share any more on how you negotiated the deal? Shopped multiple dealers, email or what? Thanks!

WOW! that's such a good deal. When I was looking the lowest quote I got was $47500 for a 2018 Premium. If they agreed on $45300 I would be in a brand new 2018 now. Unfortunately they never called me back and I got a 2014 preowned instead.

I wonder what the "Base" 460 that lacks navigation could be obtained for? Is that like $42-$43K?

Good luck with only 3 dealers in the Seattle area, 2 being owned by the same Auto Group and 1 (of the 2) is now doing the Lexus 'Plus' program (no negotiating).

Yeah, anything more than $3k off MSRP in this area, before any trade or rebates, I would consider a good deal.

At the end of the day, if the dealer is willing to give up all of their profits to move a unit then you can achieve this deal without an issue.

Base models without a nav (msrp around 53k) should be achievable at around 41-42k.

Lexus dropped the msrp of these trucks by 2k recently. Unfortunately it made a smaller impact at the invoice level but it helped nevertheless.

Texas royally sucks because of that for leases. However if you are set on buying the car at the end of the lease then you don’t pay taxes anymore. You just pay the residual amount and the thing is yours to keep.

in this case, loosing the 4K Lexus cash on the lease didn’t make sense as the residual three years from now would’ve been 34800. Why pay 500+ for three years and then pay 34800 while I can just buy the car for 10k more now.

The main thing advantage, to me, about leasing is that in the event of an accident, you can fix it and give it back. I'm counting the days until the lease is over in another 5 months on my 2105 GS that was fed a nice t-bone steak by some lady in an Altima.

Like I said above, there are many advantages of leasing, one of them being $500 vs $850 payment. lol

agreed. When leasing you really are not exposed to the depreciation due to an accident.

Forget the depreciation. I'm more concerned about the car falling apart even after being fixed and whatever problems it will have.
