Hey vigorlover. Now that's a model that I haven't thought about in a long time. I had a friend who had an Acura Vigor. Despite the fact that it never really caught on, it was a pretty nice car.
 
Yes, Lexus is still providing $6,000 dealer cash on the 2008 GS 450h. It is not providing any dealer cash on the 2009 GS 450h, but it does have a special lease program on it.

Hey Car Man,
 
I bought a 1992 Vigor GS the first weekend they were available for sale back in 1991. I had it for 16 years, over 165k miles. It was a great car.
 
I ended up buying a 2009 GS450h in March for $56,000 (about $150 over invoice with all the options: Mark Levinson stereo, Nav, XM, run flat tires, Lexus Link, ...). I just beat the CA state sales tax increase by a couple days. I wonder if had I waited, maybe the dealers would have had new incentives that would have more than made up for the 1% tax increase. Oh well, I am happy driving my new GS450h.

Cool story vigorlover. It's always nice to see people who have a passion for particular vehicles. Thanks for letting us know how everything turned out. $150 over dealer invoice is an excellent selling price for an '09 GS 450h. You wouldn't have saved any money by waiting. Buying fast to beat the sales tax increase was the right call.

So far so good with GS450h. I am taking it in for its 1k checkup tomorrow. I have been getting about 25.5mpg on each tank in my combination city/highway driving (where my 1999 A4 2.8 got about just over 21 and my 1998 Jag XK8 cvt got just under 21).

It looks like there is a $2,500 dealer incentive right now on the 2009 GS 450h. Car_man, can you please post the current residual and MF for the 36 month lease with 12K miles? Thank you.

Hi dulnev. There was a $2,500 dealer cash incentive on the 2009 GS 450h. Unfortunately, Lexus decided not to extend that dealer cash when it introduced its new September program.
 
Lexus Financial Services' September buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 GS 450h with 12,000 miles per year are .00030 and 43%, respectively.
 
Having said this, I heard a rumor that Lexus had enhanced its lease program on all models yesterday. I'll look into that. If you'd like, post a reminder for me in this discussion in a day or two and I'll let you know what I have been able to find out.

There is, dulnev. Lexus boosted its residual values on all models by 3% across the board through the end of the year.

Car_man, I just went ahead and ordered the 2010 GS 450h. I believe I got a very good deal -- $1,000 over invoice. But now I will have to decide whether to buy the car when it comes in or to lease it. Have the lease programs for 2010 GS been released yet? Thank you.
