for those leasing just some food for thought
hi all i am about to buy an is and been reading the deals especially with leasing, i am just noticing how many people are getting caught up in any money down with a lease excluding the normal first month and taxes and tags.
If your leasing, always negotiate one dealer against another telling one the other is 25$ lower
always end by closing with extra mileage so if you have a 10k lease on the table at time of purchase pulling the trigger tell them you will move forward with 12k and your will sign now, worst case scenario they say no 7 out of 10 they will absorb the extra 6k in mileage
always negotiate the lease number tax in
always try to stay with 36 months or less, tires and brakes become an issue approaching 40 -50 k with mileage
always always no money down excluding some start up fees, i prefer a sign and drive but with the nice product lexus has built they have some leverage on us but all your doing is putting profit in the dealers pockets with money down
i know some will say i did it to bring my payment in budget, if thats the case don't buy the lexus and wait till you can afford a no money down lease
safe driving to all

Same thing they're basically right next door to each other I bought mine from Stevens Creek which is their sister store in Nor Cal. Maybe I should have waited until I went home to LA and bought from them. Oh well I think I got a good deal back in Sept but you got a better deal. Congrats again!

12% discount was doable in any dealership in so cal except on ultra white/rioja red combo
They were selling it close to invoice

Doubtful, unless you qualify for the grad and or military discount, I paid 44,900 for all option RWD 350. I think others have gotten it for 46k so thats why I mention the discounts.

2015 IS350 F-Sport
Ultra White Exterior/Black Interior
Nav, BSM, VGRS, Spoiler, the usual
MSRP: $48,380
Sale Price: $42,900 (with $1000 student rebate)
Only thing I wanted but couldn't find was Mark Levinson, but was more than happy getting one of the few UW/Black interiors as the red interior was just too bright for me.
Thank you to everyone who shared in this thread, the info was very helpful during my purchase.

When I called to check on it at the end of October - they told me that they had cancelled my deposit. So, when I talked to Lexus of Austin - they checked on the car and it was already sold. ****ty service from Westside Lexus.
Lexus of Austin is they did a dealer trade for me

Well put - I agree - if you do not want to share on the forum what the forum allows and is meant for, I don't see the point in posting. It is helpful to others when a dealer is exposed for using shady business practices.

Ugh,,,,
I have been set on selling the old truck and getting the new car for months thinking I could get it for $45k
I don't qualify for the grad or military program. I am in law enforcement, but I don't think that helps at all. Sometimes we qualify for government employee discounts. But I don't this applies.
