I inquired to my salesman, if they can find me an identical car but in molten pearl, and offer me this discount, I'll probably buy without pursing the GT-R any further. I have seen only 2 RC-Fs in my area (RCF500 being one of them), and I doubt I will ever see another orange. It would be an F, and rare color. A great combo for someone like myself.

He is off today, but hopefully he can dig into that for me and find a remaining 2015.

You will love the Lexus I have had 3 GTR's and they are totally different cars. The Lexus is way more comfortable and more along the lines of a luxury car. The GTR is extremely fast but to me that was the only quality I enjoyed which got old to me fairly quickly. The Lexus not near as fast is just a better all around car to me and we use it a lot more than any of my GTR's.

Price alone deterred you? Nothing else was a drawing factor?

The car of interest is a black carbon fiber edition.

All weather package

Leather package

Performance Package

Pre-Collision System with Dynamic Radar Cruise Control

Navigation System Package with Mark Levinson (r) 17-Speaker 835-watt Premium Surround Audio System

Premium Package

The car has been sitting on the lot for ~4 weeks, and the car is normally $79,145, and they are offering it to me for $75,645.

Based on those of you who have already bought similar models, is this a good buy or should I try to fight for more off? I am a 2 time previous customer of theirs in the last calendar year as well.

they are giving it to you for invoice. not all dealerships will do that. Id jump on it or wait for the 2016

Hi Swacer,

Good afternoon and how are you? When I purchased, "Akiho", my RCF in Ultrasonic Blue Mica, Performance & Premium Packages, Mark Levinson & Navigation Upgrade, Leather Interior Upgrade, Accessories Package was marked as $79300 and I went all the way down to $73000 before taxes and extended warranty. I went to 3 different dealers in Southern California: Longo Lexus in El Monte, Keyes Lexus in Van Nuys and Cerritos Lexus in Cerritos. Basically, smaller cities outside of Los Angeles, CA.

It took me 3-5 months of wheeling and dealing. I test drove the RCF four separate times with different options and colors. Use your knowledge against each dealership and say you were offered this and the next guy will give you a slight discount of $500-$1000 and go to the next dealer and do the same until you are fully satisfied with the price. Just remember to "NOT TO GIVE IN".You have all of the Power because you are the buyer, not the salesman. If they can't give you a great deal, go elsewhere. It's their loss, not yours because it's your hard earned money, not theirs. They just want your commission. The lower you go, the less they make, that's it.

Another major factor why i was given an almost $7000 discount was because I dropped $30000 Cash and asked for a Military Discount too. Cash is king period and I do have great tier 1 credit too. If you are looking to purchase, this is what I did. As for lease, sorry, I have never leased a vehicle in my life and can't help you there. Just be patient, bargain like crazy, don't be a Sucker on their set prices, and shop around. I don't know what city or state you live in but Longo Lexus alone had 26 RCF's on their lot when I bought mine.

If you live in a smaller city or state, you might be stuck with very, very little options, choices of dealerships and etc. Check other offers like college or university graduate discounts, military discounts, AAA discounts, and etc. It doesn't hurt to just ask, it's free and all they can say is No. Plus, you are a previous owner of two Lexus's. That should give you some wiggle room for a loyal customer. Please be extremely patient and play your game, not theirs, ok? Try using a car broker too, I used two of them and it brought me up to speed on how to deal too. Good luck and hang in there, Swacer. Please keep us all informed, I would love to see you on this forum with your beautiful RCF and happy smile. Hehe.. ;-) wink-wink.. If you are in the Los Angeles area, I can always refer you to my sales manager.



Regards,
Akiho

Why don't you talk with Jalnsx, he said his buddy just got one for a Steal & would probably even come off of the $73,900, hard to beat that deal Unless Ca1avera will say Which Dealership came off 8k from Sticker! GL!

Thanks Jalnsx, that's not to far from me. If you like White that's a Really Good Price & like you said he might even come off a lil' more. I didn't see where it said it had the TVD & the Mark Levinson Stereo though, i might have just missed it too (they have some really nice cars there by the way). But, i'm Still Waitin' to hear the name of the Dealership that Ca1vera got the 8K off Sticker!

If they are able to get me a molten pearl at that price through a dealer trade, I may consider it. otherwise, I may just wait for December and then order a '16. That way, come spring, I will have a new car awaiting me.

Thank you for your kind words. The area that I live has 2 Lexus dealers, both owned by the same person. Thus, no a lot of options were I am at. However, the salesman we have had for our 2 other cars has been great and i'd like to give him the business if his management is willing to play ball. I'll look into any additional discounts and see whats there.

As for LA, I wish. I keep telling my wife I'd like to leave the cold of the Northeast and head to NorCal in the coming years. She's getting there very slowly haha. I think 1-2 more winters with -25F windchills might do it.

I would like to shop around a little, but one issue I have is that I am going to most likely trade the Camaro in to the dealership I buy the car from. I will probably try to sell it privately, but most likely I will become lazy and just trade it for the convenience and minor loss (I will probably get MORE than my downpayment back). As I said above too, I actually love my dealership, and especially the salesman (manager) that we have dealt with.
