Thanks for the help, kyfdx. I think my strategy going into December will be to negotiate a good price and then bring my own financing. If they want to match it with LFS financing, that's fine, but I won't pay the $695 or whatever they want to charge me. I really want to lease this car, but obviously LFS doesn't want them leased. It's funny, because on a 36 month/15k lease, the residual was only 50% at year 3, yet if you look to buy a 2-to-3 year old CPO vehicle, it's cost is roughly 75% of MSRP. Anyway, I think the good deals will continue through the year as Toyota continues to see a sales decline overall in the US. Best of luck to all.

I was told before that "end of the year" for dealers is February instead of December...so shouldn't it be better to negotiate in February then?

Hi lexusbunny, I think the D2R starts in early December and runs through late February; so you are correct, waiting until late February would hypothetically yield the most savings. My current lease ends on January 31st, so I will start looking in December and hopefully take delivery on the first day or January or February (to avoid having to pay excise tax for a full month even though I didn’t use the car for the full month).

Hi:
We finally bought the ES250 with Premium Plus (no Navi) at Sewell Lexus.
Price was 33800+ Tax 2112 (6.25%) + Tags 258 = OTD 36,170
The whole experience with Sewell Lexus was very pleasant. Thanks to all in this message board who helped us through this search.

I may be wrong but this is what I found on www.lexus.com.....
2009 ES 350 w/premium plus package(no nav) is cheaper by approximately $800. They have increased the base MSRP by $200 but reduced the premium plus package by $1,000. Premium package is no longer available.

WOW that is new! I just checked earlier this week and I didn't see the 09 version.
Anyone know of any major difference between 08 and 09?

Trying to build one online and when you select the Pebble Beach I don't see any way to select the ML audio.

There is no Premium Package for 2009 model. You will get a Premium Plus package for $1,200 cheaper than last year but the MSRP has increased by $200. One can now build a 2009 ES  www.lexus.com
Next time when I am ready to buy a Lexus, I'll wait for third model year so that the bugs are worked out and can buy the car for thousands less.
