^ Nice, congrats, lovely color combo. The incentives vary by region as I've found the NE's not to be as advantageous as the SE's etc.

 

During this last week of the year I'm getting $17,500 off MSRP. Anyone getting anything better for this time of the year?

 

On what MSRP are you getting the $17.5k off?

If you can get 20% off, its a good deal. Even 19% off.

I suggest you get your funding in place and make sure the dealer has the car in inventory.

19% is possible. Specially on December 30.

$101,394 MSRP
dealer discount -$10,000

Sale price $91,394
Holiday Rebate -$7500


the vehicle priceis $83,894 plus fees

I have the funds on hand and they have the car on lot, but trying to get the best deal. They also have one with 107k MSRP, so maybe I get even more than 17.5k off that one?

 

^^^^Really depends on the equipment you want, not the total MSRP. The higher priced one probably has the Performance Package or is an Inspiration Series, things I don't want.

Start negotiating with the MSRP x 0.78 = your offer. They will not do this unless the car is a demo and it has some mileage like maybe 200 to 600 miles.

If you can get it near MSRP x 0.81, it would be good.

It depends how bad the dealer wants to clear the unit out of the books.

If you have the funds in place ready to pull the trigger, that would be a good incentive for the dealer to negotiate.

I say this because I have done it, but every situation is different

In my case, my car was the last one the dealer had, it was December 30 and I had my funding in place.

I lucked out all around because I got a Smoke Granite Mica with the Performance package.

It will be one year I have had it in a few days.

Good luck with your purchase !

Thank you so much for your detailed help! The MSRP is $107,494 on the Inspiration that they have on lot, this is going to be a harder color for them to get rid of since yellow is not as appealing to the LC target market. The Green/Saddle combo for next year's Inspiration run seems a much better fit for the LC target market.

I told them that I have the cash in hand and ready to make a deal then gave them my offer. Less than a week before the end of the year, so let's see!

Happy early anniversary to you and your LC.

 

Keep us posted!

 

I was able to get $17,350 of an inspiration series in october, bringing the the cost to ~89K +tax. Probably not the best possible deal out there, but I was happy with it.

 

I think in this situation, like in many others in life, awareness is King.

The way I look at it, if you are happy with it, that's all that matters !

Enjoy your new LC !

Yes, when the dealer accepted my first counter I figured I could have got at least another thousand off, but 17% off retail was much better than my initial dealer would come down to. I am certainly happy with it, and people of all walks of life always want to talk to me about it(really didn't expect that much attention). The car detailing service I had over thought it was a much more expensive vehicle so that is a win in my book

 

This seems like a steal. $28,326 or ~ 27% off MSRP.

I have not seen anything this low from a Lexus dealer.

Definitely a good deal.

^^^^The 2nd link brings you to Lexus of Arlington in Illinois where it's for sale for $92,586. Do a VIN check and that car is for sale at South Bay Lexus in California for $91,760.

The info on autotrader is incorrect. However, the same dealer has a brand new Liquid Platinum with Rioja Red interior available. MSRP of $106,102, priced @ $81,102. Not too shabby.
