2015 IS350 - F Sport, Premium, FSport premium exhaust, trunk spoiler (lip), WHITE on RED interior
51k sticker
Lease through a broker in Los Angeles
24 months
2k down (including taxes)
7,500 Miles per year
$360/month
Shipped to NorCal (I live up here now) - $XXX - Closed Container - I can't disclose this because it was a hook up but assume this is about $700 for a closed container, around $400 for an open one.
No one will believe me but you can say living in LA for 25 years gets you the right hook ups.
If you purchase/lease a car by going to a dealer first and you live in LA, you are horribly getting ripped off. Take advantage that we have brokers. You just go to them and negotiate a deal, they take you to the dealer and you fill out paper work together. Keep in mind you might get played around a bit by the dealer but it's ok just negotiate it! Northern California doesn't have brokers so I would say it's 100% worth it to fly down to LA and handle that here. You'll laugh when you here what deals NorCal gave me. Unreal prices (too high)

It seems like when the $2k drive off and the very low mileage terms are factored in, it's not much different than some of the deals we've previously seen posted. The detailed numbers would give us all a clearer picture.

If you can deal with the restriction of about 144 miles weekly, 7500 miles works. Most people need to drive more than that in their daily activities, so you are correct - 7500 miles is not much at all.

Does the 439 include sales tax?

Is it possible to give us all the specific details so we can see exactly just how great a deal this is?

Miles aren't an issue, it's the dealer that gives **** deals.
Oh and I should of mentioned I used my diploma as a fresh grad to get an extra $1500 i think.
Let's just say there were 4 parties in the showroom begging for the car and as I was signing papers with my broker, the other parties were trying to convince Lexus not to sell to me. I'm friends with the fleet manager too, he told me he could've gotten $550+ monthly for the car...EASILY...and he's damn right given the options and color...

Going to 10k miles a year is $20 difference. Going to 15k miles is a $40 difference.

I was just hoping you could share the details like selling price, residual, and money factor. The numbers you stated in your original post come out to just shy of 71 cents per mile. Using that per mile figure equates to $591 a month for folks here getting 10k mile leases. Most of the folks reporting their 350 f-sport leases here are in the mid 400s or a little more with not much due at signing. Also, as far as I know, the college grad rebate is $1k.
Anyway, congrats and enjoy your new IS.

Yes, with the info you've provided so far, it looks to be a pretty good deal - especially given the 12k miles per year and AWD. I'm guessing you got at least $5k off msrp, a good money factor, and around 71-72% residual.

Just remember to say no to any extra stuff the finance guy will try to sell you. These cars are pretty solid and have a great warranty.

Ok. I did a 4 year 15k mile/yr lease and was 8k upside down on my ctsv. Msrp was 51k for 2k15 is350 fsport pearl white with red interior, Mark levinson, rear spoiler, wheel locks, blah blah. I went through Costco and got below dealer invoice (46k) plus $750 incentive and lexus made my first payment. I pay $757/month. 
Just happy to be out of my lemon of a ctsv
