Louisiana Lexus Car Dealers

Hi mc_la. The selling price that you were quoted looks very good to me. It is probably right around, or perhaps even a little under dealer invoice. This is a good enough deal that I personally don't see any reason to wait. Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum

I'm not Car_Man, but here goes... If you have a great deal on the table.... better snap it up, and not worry about the $200 of lease time lost.. 1) You could get in an accident... goodbye equity.. 2) At the end of the month, when you have no other clear options, the deal could change on you... As someone once said... you are stepping over dollars to pick up dimes.. ;) regards, kyfdx Host - Prices Paid Forums

Hey Car_Man, Got a question for you. We have an 2009 RX where the lease ends on 4/1/11 so we’ve already made the last payment. I have also been in touch with a dealer and have a deal in place to lease a new RX, and since we have a lot of positive equity on the old RX we are using that towards the new lease. My question is, since the old RX is paid thru the end of the month, should I wait to get the new car? The old payment was $466 so essentially I’m giving up $233 since my new lease would start right away. The numbers are: $47,246 MSRP $42,805 Purchase Price – $1000 Lexus Loyalty – $3800 for my trade-in Cap Cost= $38,005 36mo/10,00 miles/.00145 MF/58% residual Monthly=$389.35 + tax Acq Fee, 1st month and DMV in drive off of around $1700 So I guess I have two questions. 1) Is this a good deal? It’s about 9.4% off MSRP and my trade-in is valued very close to KBB trade-in. 2) Would you do it now or wait to the end of the month so as not to lose the money I’ve already paid for the current lease? I mentioned this to the dealer after we came up with these numbers and his response was “maybe we should just wait until the end of the month”. Thanks for the info. This site and forum have been great for information on this lease. -MC_LA

In the LA area might be tough because I also asked for their quotes for the IS250 with F-sport package and their prices are significantly higher. How much are they asking for the 2010 CPO? If you think the price difference is significant and a good deal, I'd say get the CPO since 13-17k miles is pretty much a new car. Try asking around the dealerships in the bay area and get the best offer from them. Then use that best offer and ask your local dealerships if they can beat it. I'm sure they'll at least try to match it. Hope it helps.

Hey, I'm in the market for a IS 250 right now. Would that 31k OTD be a 2011 ISO 250 RWD Auto? Do you think I could get that down in the LA area? Or would I be better off getting a 2010 CPO? I found a bunch with navs, HID, and maybe a few other things, between 13-17k miles. Also found a used 2011 with nav and the F package, but I think that'll be out of my price range. They're asking about $35.5k+TTL. Thanks
