hey everyone,
im shopping for a new leftover 2017 LX and saw some of the great deals folks got in recent months. The forum has been super helpful. Obviously inventory is getting pretty low, but I was wondering if someone could tell me what current incentives are remaining. I’ve been looking to get 18-20 off MSRP but so far 16.5 is the best I’ve seen. One dealer tried to say some incentives have fallen away and I just wanted to fact check that if possible. Common sense says these aren’t getting any more valuable as they sit on lots, so any info is appreciated. And a few remaining cars are dealer demos too with a few thousand miles.
Ive widened my net to out of state dealers so don’t mind shipping. But would really like Cabernet interior so the list is getting pretty short.
Thanks everyone.

I went here... http://www.lexus.com/models/offers , plugged in my Idaho zip code, and got no incentives related to the LX. Tried my old zip in Flower Mound, TX, and got the same thing. I would begin calling out of state dealers, and I would like to drive or fly in and see the truck prior to purchase v. having it shipped...that's just me.

Last year, only 6000 LX's were exported by Toyota to the entire north American market. They tend to sell like hotcakes on a Sunday morning. They may not appreciate on the dealer's lot, but they're not depreciating significantly either. The best negotiation tool I've used is, simply, cash or a bank check. I use U.S. Bank for stuff like this as they've far more branches than any other bank.

Good luck and report back with what you get.

I live in CA, there are no incentives for the 2017 through lexus website models even though I managed to locate one near me.

Thanks guys. Well after emailing about ten dealers and going back and forth yesterday, I struck a deal on a demo with 7500
miles on it. 20k off sticker, guy will take my trade as well and we will split shipping. And it's the color combo I want as well. Overall very excited. Now just need to sort out all the details.

I bought brand new one late December 22800 off sticker price with no dealership or document fee. For sticker price of 100100 approx., it has some added roof rails plus glass breakage sensor,. My cost was 77300 with taxes, it was around 82500 in Florida. You might be little late to find left over 2017's.

Ha thanks, trust me I used your deal against every dealer I talked to. Think you got the best deal of anyone on a 2017. I really wanted cabernet interior so that cut down my options about 80%. I am super happy about my deal though. I will say that the other five or six dealers I was negotiating with couldn't come close to the deal I got. So looking forward to executing and enjoying this beast. Going from a 2013 M5 to this so will need to get used to a slower pace.

Realized when I posted this thread that I joined 12 years ago and only posted once. Been through many cars since my "S4" handle was created.

Thanks again everyone.

I would love to hear your impressions of the LX after a few days of driving. Last three daily drivers for me were 13 M5, 14 M5 and now a 15 i8. I've enjoyed them all, but I think I'm ready for the utility and easy ingress/egress of a SUV.

Same here, 15 M6 GC here with comp package. Would love to jump in an LX for more family adventures, and more relaxed commute. Looking forward to hearing your opinion.
