start? lexus already has quite a bit of incentives on the ls460 already right? i think 1k to at most 2k over invoice for ls460 is not a problem

the lwb is still on shortage from what i see (sales down, but lexus just keep the supply down as well), so deals on that might still be a bit hard

I got a call from a salesman saying they have some very aggressive pricing
on the LS right now.

Another dealership is also offering special lease deals. Business is definitely
soft and it's a good time to be in the market for an LS.

Don't jump too fast for any deal, Lexus or any other luxury sedan. Prices are going lower for at least the next year, IMO.

true, though i think the best would be invoice on the ls460, but i think lexus is going to control the supply to adjust the price

but yeah, this goes to all brands basically. i was at bmw and mb dealerships and man did they want to sell me something

True Rominl, there is a bottom to everything. No Lexus dealer is going to take a loss on an LS. Dealer holdback is 2% of dealer invoice. The best any buyer could ever hope for is 2% below invoice, i.e. the dealer gives up his holdback. The dealer would be in very desperate straights to do that.

One thing that is taking place atleast with the IS models, one has to really look carefully at the options within the packages. A few items here and a few items there are slowly disappearing to compensate for the slow and constant drop in the value of the US $.
