Folks, 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

Also would like to hear from anyone who has purchased recently ... we are nearing the end of the year and from what I have seen local dealers have pleanty of 08's in stock that are not selling. It appears all of the financing deals are GONE now so I'm wondering what deal's if any are worth going after on this vehicle. For the December sales event do they usually bring back financing deals - like 1.9?

Replying to: carolinabob (Sep 22, 2008 12:30 pm) 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. |

IMO, the $4000 off of invoice scenario was likely a one time deal, and probably not easily duplicated in most parts of the country. I'm purchasing today through fleetrates.com. I tried to source locally in Columbus, OH, but their best deal was $9500 off of sticker and it was limited to a gray vehicle. Fleetrates managed to get me the color and the exact options that I wanted: Here's the scoop: 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... |

Replying to: pmarsh (Sep 24, 2008 9:35 am) 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! |
