wow interesting to see where this is going, I wonder what the outcome will be? id love to jump to a 460!

 

I doubt they would do this immediately. But it Wouldnt surpise me if the eventually had to do it. I just bought a new '09 for INV Price. It was the 73K car. Bought it for $64,850. Credit union also gave me a great 4.54 rate too after LFS tried to sucker me into a 6.75

 

i hope so, this means i will get back to LS family sooner!

 

A few months back there were rumors that Lexus was thinking about dropping the 3.5 V6 into the LS for better fuel economy. That would explain the $9K price drop (about the difference between a GS350 & GS460) !!! Of course it would no longer be an LS460, but an LS350

 

They won't replace the LS460 with a LS350, the *may* add the 350 in the future ... and I won't believe they will drop the price for the LS460/600 unless they officially announce it, the Yen is so high now that it's already eating into their profits at the old prices ...

so much about 9k?

 

LOL. So it would appear. I guess my salesman's credibility is shot all to heck.

That's why I put a "?" after the title of my post, though. I needed to see it to believe it ...

lol i think none of us were doubting your suspicion, you should now go back and ask him again about the 9k

 

I agree. You need to needle him into an admission of ignorance and for an apology. Unfortunately it' won't save you $9K that you hoped you get (versus 2009 prices).

 

Not your fault. Sometimes they just talk to hear themselves talk.

Interesting that the price on the L was reduced.

 

I wonder what they dropped from the L models in order to reduce the MSRP by $3500?

Maybe its only 4" longer rather than 5".

 

They probably dropped some standard equipment from the L model & make them options instead, thus a lower base price ...

 

Sounds like you got a great deal, congrats on your negotiating skills, you're a wise Lexus buyer !! thumbup:

 

he probably meant 9k total off MSRP of 2009 price for 2010, if that makes sense...

example
2009 LS 460 L RWD MSRP $73,735 - $9,000 = $64,735 selling price for 2010!!!
these salesmen always try to trick u...

"$70,225 -$3,510 -4.8%"

 

So, Mike TX, did you confront your salesman? Did he fully fess up, grovel and offer you a car at $9000 below 2009 prices? What was the end reconciliation result with the salesman?
