Talk to Bill Barrish. I spoke to him yesterday and he said he would do this deal for anyone I referred.
Only problem is Rochester is 5 hours from NYC. But you call always use this info to negotiate.
Hop over to the lease forum to see if Car_man has posted the money factor and residual for this month. And negotiate the best price you can with your local dealers.. Remember the price you see here has a lot to do with the local supply and demand for LS. If you have a lot of dealers around your town, you will get a much better deal. If you have very little competition, then you are stuck. One choice you can have is to fly out to S. Cal to pick up a car (or have them ship to Florida). If your local dealers refuse to give you month factor etc up front, they will definitely mark it up.

Second, I don't have my numbers on me right now, but if I remember correctly, the current LS lease numbers for a 36 mo / 15k-yr lease is .00235 and 50%. I'll confirm tomorrow.
There's an average spread of about $8500 between total msrp and invoice (depending upon options) on an LS. I've seen reports on here of people buying at darn near invoice in some cases, but anywhere from $500-$1500 over would be a realistic goal in my opinion.
If you get me the total msrp on a vehicle that you're looking at and/or a VIN #, I'd be happy to run some lease numbers for you to put you in a better negotiating position.
"The Lexus LS460 with the package that will fit what you are looking for will be:
$68,305 msrp
$62,476 selling price
36mo 15k $0 =1,068 + inceptions
36mo 15k $20% down $691 + inceptions
money factor @.00210
residual @50%
this base on a Navigation car. I have a built sheet on the car, send me your fax # and i will send it to you, that way you know what you are buying.
Thank you very much and i hope to hear from you soon."

I am getting vin numbers for two cars from a dealer here on the east coast that is known for being reasonable. Thoughts? I am so indebted to you...
Appreciate any and all feedback.
msrp $75139
purchase price $66497 ($1000 over invoice?)
acquisition fee $600
doc fees $499.50
39 month lease, 15 k miles/year
Residual 47%
mf .000245 bought down with 10x security dep to .000155
(lowered pmt @100.00/mo)
mo. pmt incl 6% tax @1053
I took 39 mo lease because it lowered pmt @$60 monthly which paid for months 37 &38 (39mo*$60=$2140) and month 39 would equate to @$1010.
thanks
I am in the market for a new car as lease is up end of July - 10 days!
I would love to get a LS460 but I live in Pittsburgh- Some snow but not as bad as Boston. Closer to Baltimore weather. I can get an 08 LS460 near/at invoice with options I want about $61k (Nav and Comfort Pkg) or I can wait and be one of the first to order in August for October delivery an LS460 SWB AWD -dealer confirmed that this is going to be available. I doubt that I can get much off and guessing by the $3000-3500 up change for AWD the car would cost about $74k MSRP which I might get for about $71k (guessing $3k off MSRP)
Question is would you for $10k take the non AWD 2008, put Blizzaks on the car which dealers claim do just fine in snow on the LS460 or take the 2009 model with likely less depreciation due to AWD in Pittsburgh. I plan to buy car with cash and keep it 5-6 yrs and I'm guessing that the max difference between the 2008 and 2009 if sold at the same time in 5 years is 8-10% or about $5.5 - 7k.
Thanks in advance
Chris
thanks...
For the December sales event do they usually bring back financing deals - like 1.9?
Is the $8000 before or after the $4000 rebate this month. Postings on clublexus.com indicate they can be had for $4000 (the rebate) under invoice.
LS 460 SWB, Mercury Metallic
ML, Nav, Advanced parking
Comfort Plus package
Intuitive parking assist
Lexus Link
Power trunk and door closers
Preferred accessory package
Premium floor mats
MSRP: $75,030
Actual: $63,500 which includes home delivery to OH from CA
$11,530 off of list or around 18% below MSRP
Around $1500 below invoice (delivered), as far as I can tell
The cost of delivery was around $1000 (included in actual price), but as mentioned, the deal was still better and I got the exact color/options that I wanted (which was really important to me). I just started the purchase process today, so I cannot yet attest to experience of buying through fleetrates. I can mention that I originally contacted two different sales people within their ranks and didn't get a whole lot of follow up. Yesterday I made another attempt and am working with someone who seems to have their act together. I will give out their name and number upon request. Also, I will update the fleetrate experience as we move this forward. Delivery is supposed to take 7-10 days...
I bought my LS 460, MSRP $ 75,400 or so for $ 64,500 in S.Cal. Same great Lexus buying experience. Got my color and options. Dealer accepted right away. Could have probably gotten a better deal, but hey we all need each other to survive, right..?
Prices are all over the place. Now is a good time to buy. It's a fantastic car!
Any issues, likes and dislikes?
Between $2-3K below invoice is a great price, while still allowing some (fair) profit for the dealer. The economy is definitely playing a role, so get 'em while they're hot! One other factor for my purchase was there is little difference with the forthcoming 09 models, unless you are in hunt for a AWD model.
Thanks.
If you don't live in the area, what I did was basically email each dealership I was willing to drive to. I told them all that I was asking for the best price and basically put them in a bidding war. I don't know if it always works, but it did for me this time.
Again PM me if you need more specific info.
For everyone else, the deals are obviously out there.

Abq buyer - Albuquerque is such a tough market since there is litterly ZERO competition. I have purchased vehilces in ABQ in the past and its a PITA compared to regions that have some competition. What did you end up paying?
Looks like the 4K rebate is still in effect - are folks buying at invoice - some rebate or?
Did you have a hard time getting this deal or was it straight forward? Did you purchase or Lease?
Finally - Why no NAV? I have lots of experience with the Nav in the LS (its the same unit thats in the Sequoia) and I know its a POS so in reality I would probably not go for it in the LS - but wife wants the ML radio so we are stuck with NAV.
