Technically you are correct rebates have an expiration date linked to the end of the month and they are subject to change.

Historically speaking from years past, the Lexus rebate cycle is pretty predictable in how much and when.

For instance
MY20 thread we saw that $1500 from launch, all the way upto march where end of Q1 numbers game pushes it upto 2k and then around Juneish beginning of summer 3k to inspire folks to jump on the clearance bandwagon.

This year was extra special since the 3k numbers cash became available a little early to help inspire consumer confidence.

The $3000 rebate for customer cash offer ends in November. That is the highest offer they got.

And that will remain till the end of Dec 2 remember event (unless they empty out the RXs before then which might be a thing this year actually) on MY20s which should end dec31. But thats neither here or there since MY21 is what this thread is about.

Where did you get that information?

For MY2021, you get $1500 for rebate until November 2020, according to the Lexus Website.

If your looking for an official Lexus statement of dealer daily type printout I got none. Just following the trends and research.

So with no Navi, do you still get the 12.3" screen and the 12 speaker sound system?

Salvanv

No. The screen is 8.5”. 9 speaker

Nimaa

small screen is worthless .. 12" Display with Premium audio is the best choice imo

Mark Levinson is waste of money too .. ( you are paying $1000 more for 3 more speakers ! )

[QUOTE=Nimaa;10912788]small screen is worthless ..
why is the small screen useless?

Nimaa

[QUOTE=Salvanv;10912801]it is very small at least for me .. 12" will cost you $2285 more, ML version ~ $3400

I dont remember off the top but can you go full screen carplay/android auto on both screens or is it limited to a section only?

I've used AA with Google Maps a fair amount on my 2020 and tested CarPlay using my wife's phone. Neither show a full map screen, although CarPlay does a better job of using the screen. AA shows the map on the left 2/3rds, with directions overlayed in a chicklet on the map. The bottom of the rightmost 1/3rd shows the current music selection of which AA is aware. The topmost 1/3rd shows the time of day (totally useless, since there are two other clocks already in the Lexus.) I used developer mode to test Waze on the widescreen once. My recollection is it used the screen in similar fashion to AA, but I could be misremembering. I don't like the cartoonish interface of Waze, so never use it.

CarPlay also shows the map on the left 2/3rds of the screen. The directions, though, are in the upper portion of the rightmost 1/3rd, so more of the map is visible. The bottom left, as I recall, shows the music selection. There could be a setting to change the behavior of CarPlay; I'm not an Apple guy and am not going to become one.

Of the two implementations I like CarPlay slightly more than AA, as it uses the widescreen more intelligently. Neither are as elegant looking as the native Lexus navigation, in my view.

Is 10% off of MSRP consider good for a base model?

coolsaber

If thats before any mfg to dealer cash (lexus cash, grad cash etc etc) and post any taxable dealer fees and addons, its good for this time of year.

Remember: Invoice is about 91% of MSRP. Below invoice pre-incentive and post dealer fees/add-ons is a fair deal any day of the week.

And as always ask around your geographic radius with vehicles that are similar at competing dealers.

That is including TTL and the rebates.
