I've been waiting for the December to Remember to event (Better deals on 2015 IS than now?), but everytime I see an 3rd gen IS on the road I get jumpy. Should I just bite the bullet and pick one up now? If so what's a good amount for down payment? 20%?

BTW (I'm asking for down payment on a used Lexus, new Lexus would be good to know as well)

I'm considering purchasing, not leasing.

Also this might be great to know for future Lexus customers.


Thanks

 

In the same boat as you, hoping to get a great deal on a used Lexus in Nov/Dec. I'm assuming you're talking about financing (you generally don't want money down on a lease). 20% is a good ballpark.

 

I put 20k down on my 50k IS 350 F Sport!

 

at least 10K down. choose 72months term to low down month payment

 

15k on 46.8k otd

 

100%

I do not believe in car payments. I would get a bus pass first. Yes, I know I am old school (and old).

 

10k on 49K.

 

8k on 41k. preowned 14' 350 f-sport with 11k miles. 3.5% interest 72 mo.

 

3k - new 2015 350 Fsport

with trade in

 

9k on 37k for a certified preowned 2014 IS350 F-sport with 19k miles

 

13K down, 41.5 OTD, 2.99% for 66 mo. ( 2014 IS350 F)

 

10K on 42 OTD, 1.9% for 60 months (2015 IS250 F)

 

Paid cash.

 

nice!

I paid 20k down and traded in my car in for a full loaded IS250 F-Sport

 

I had the cash but only put about 15% down. At 1% interest, I'd leverage all day long.
