Please note the following rule for posting on Edmunds: "You may include the dealership name, city and state in your post. Please do not post names of salespeople, telephone numbers, email addresses, or other contact information."
I and several others have found that Lexus of Rockville is very competitive on pricing. If you would like to discuss any other details, my email address is in my profile (which you can see by clicking on my name in the heading of this post).
Since luckylou provided you the name and location of the dealership, you shouldn't have too much trouble finding out that information on your own.

36mo 15K mile per year/ $3000 drive off no security deposit
Monthly payment:$963(inclued tax)
I've got to think your dealer is willing to lower that deal considerably.
For a modern lux LS430 3 years/45K miles lease with excellent credit I'd think a reasonable lease offer would be under $800 per month (inc. taxes) and less than $2K to drive off.
I leased the same car you are looking for about a year ago in South Florida for under $750 per month for 36 months with very little due at inception. The only difference was it was a 36K mile lease not a 45K mile one. I posted the details in message #162 in this discussion.
I figure now with the 07's coming out soon they'd be willing to deal hard.
Good luck -- whatever your deal turns out to be you are getting one of the best cars in the world!!!
Miss the Navigator severely, but enjoy the LS, and the improved gas mileage over the Navigator. Just thought I'd say hi. NV
Thank you.

Prices should be getting very favorable to the consumer on the 430 as the 460 takes the spotlight and makes our LS "old".
Always best to buy just before the introduction of a new model.
Got my 545 that way.
As a value-added offering (due to a scratch on a panel which they replaced), our sales person said they'd like to give us a free Touch of Class. Would you advise against it -- if it were free?
Thanks!
Thank you.

Me too. But I would take 48 months if that gives a much better payment.

My current LS 430 lease expires June, so need the offical residuals for May (if out yet) as well as money factor. . . and does anyone know of LS 430 will have Lexus' help coming such as bulking up residual to help get rid of 2006 models? . .
Also, has anyone dealt with Fleetsales.com? What's your experience?

Thanks for the answer. . .is there a difference in residual for 39 months/ 15,000 miles on a 2006 LS 430? Also, I have gotten some good numbers, but have run into the $500-$700 add-on for "advertising" when I get a price. It is added on to the invoice price. Most South Florida dealers are going below invoice, before they add this on, and they say that there's nothing they can do since this is a Lexus charge. What's the skinny on that?
I am in the market for a late model Pre-owned LS430. however, I came across a ebay auction by a Lexus dealer in MI. They are selling a brand new 2005 LS430 with 70 miles(the auction expired 4/20/06). Is it possible that a dealer can sell a brand new car that's a model year old as new car? The Buy-it-now price was $49900 which i don't think is competitve at all if one can get a 06 LS430 for around mid-low $50k? Any comments? Something I need to watch out for a deal like this? Thanks in advance.

What's the sticker price? I would expect a deep discount for an 05 at this point - they should be happy to sell it for cost. I would expect a $10,000 to $14,000 discount off the sticker......
As far as the advertising charge goes, ignore it. Rather than letting dealers cloud the big picture with all sorts of fees, focus on the most important number - the total price that you have to pay to drive off in the new car that you want. It doesn't matter how the price breaks down if a dealer is offering you the lowest total price. Shop around for out-the-door prices on the car that you want and go with the dealer that offers you the best deal, provided that you feel comfortable with them.

My question to this board is how do you determine the true cost of the vehicle? I think we all know that the "Invoice Price" is not what the dealer pays and includes a tidy profit, hold-backs, etc. Also, the factory is surely giving additional incentives to the dealerships to assist in moving out the inventory of the 2006 LS models. I'm one of those "pain in the behind" buyers that refuses to pay any dealer fees as I feel to pay a dealership $700 to remove the plastic from the seats and to do a final detailing is exhorbidant. The way I like to negotiate on a closeout or high inventory vehicle is to work off the sticker and come up with a discount (let's say $10,000 or more) and then show them the Edmund TMV Trade In Price and offer to write a check for the difference. My logic is that if they want to allocate the net profit to dealer fees or towards the trade in, that's up to them. I like to call it something like an "out the door" price. This tactic can't be accompished on every vehicle, but seems to be effective on end of the year or end of the model run vehicles. Also, I never opt for the additional warranty (I trade before the warranty expires) and definitely don't buy the undercoating, paint protection or other gimicks the "finance mangager" attempts to hard sell you as necessities. Any advice on getting the best price on a fully loaded LS? Is there any mathmatical formula to figure out what the true net cost is on an LS? HELP!
It's quite different than buying a Chevy.
I'm guessing you can get up to a $14,000 discount off that sticker on an Ultra Luxury if you try several dealers. The December to Remember sale is usually the best time for unbelievable deals on a Lexus, but if the 460 is due out soon, buying just before they appear should be a good time also.
Great minds think alike as I already offered $15K off sticker for an Ultra and they didn't even get close. But, the salesperson was very nice about it! I had a check in hand along with the title of my existing car and was ready to sign. When they counter offered, I tried to be tactful and let them know that I've never seen a car go "up" in price, so this offer was only good for seven days. If they come back 60 days from now, my next offer will most likely be less as I'm a bit concerned about the depreciation from an end of the model run vehicle. Yes, Lexus has the best resale history, but when the 460 comes out, there will be many existing 430 cusomers wanting to upgrade...meaning an abundance of inventory of used 430s flooding the market. This is a double edged sword as the good news is that due to its high customer satisfaction reputation, they will most likley churn many existing LS owners to its new model.
If I was to take the leap (which I most likely won't do) into a 460, I'd be a bit nervous about intital defects that are common with any new model vehicle. Remember the problems when BMW launched it's 700 series? The joystick and electrical systems were nightmares!
Thank you
I have an offer for a moonlight pearl 2006 ls430 custom luxury package with the 18" all season with chrome, leather upgrade and smart key for 58k - or around 11k off retail and am wondering if I can do better.
