Oregon Lexus Car Dealers

Hey to all! I've been doing some research but I wasn't really able to find a direct answer to my question. Forgive me if I'm asking a question that has been answered in here already. I plan to place a special order for a 2011 is350 rwd. I want to lease the vehicle so that when the third generation IS comes out, I can be left with two options, return the lease and possibly get into a third generation IS -OR- keep my second generation IS and buy it out after the lease is over. The only way I would return my second generation IS and get into a third generation IS is if the third generation IS is appealing enough to my liking. Now if the third generation isn't to my liking, then I would just buy out my leased second generation IS when the lease is over. Here's my question to whomever can help... can I discuss a buying price with the sales representative for a special order is350rwd and get the cost as close as possible to invoice or maybe even below invoice... AND THEN say I want to lease the vehicle for a low monthly cost + buyout price = discussed discounted BUYING price? I want to spend as little as possible to be in a leased second generation is350 in case I plan on upgrading onto a third generation IS but if not, I want to be able to buyout the car for the discussed buying price. I have a dealership offering $1,000 above invoice. My special ordered 2011 is350 rwd would consist of: -Navigation / Mark Levinson Premium Audio Package -Luxury Plus Value Edition Lease Specifics: I plan on going with 12k/year ; $???/4yearLEASE ; how much could I lease a 2011 is350rwd for? For 4 years that is, so per month, how much?... what would be considered a good deal within the 5 boros of NY and in Long Island, NY. I previously leased an is250awd for $560/36months with $0 down and 12k/yr, but the buyout cost came out to almost $42,000 or $44,000. That is insane for an is250awd with navigation and premium package value edition IMO. In NY, is it illegal for dealerships to have a NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT policy for special orders? I've been told by a few dealerships that for special orders, they have a non-refundable deposit that must be placed, true or false? Any input and feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance! :)

Yes that does help, although I was hoping that someone would tell me I am getting a bad deal OR tell me that I can get the navi without getting all those extras. So now, I have to do some fact checking!! But regardless, thanks so much! Also, I didn't know about those two sites so I will check them out. Thanks again!

I currently live in Portland and sadly there is only one dealer in Oregon. They quoted me a sad ~$1500 off a MSRP $49000 Rx. Thinking about getting the car from CA or WA then flatbed ship the car to OR. Anyone had experience in doing so? What are the things that I should take caution about? Thanks!

IN MY PAST EXPERIENCE AND IN SEARCH FOR MY NEW 2010 ES350 LAWRENCE LEXUS IN NJ HAS BEEN THE BEST DEALER I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH. VERY HONEST, NO SURPRISE WHEN CLOSING THE DEAL AND SO FAR OFFER YOU THE LOWEST PRICE. THERE ARE 2 SALESPERSON YOU CAN CONTACT SAM OR CAROL. IF YOU WANT TO TEST WHAT I AM SAYING GIVE THEM A CALL. JUST TELL YOU ARE SHOPPING AROUND FOR THE BEST PRICE.

I have not visit them yet instead direct issue order with cash on hand, but looks Portland dealer only offer 2K discount from windows price, their price may be little better when I show my cash but can not expect too much. I contacted with Stevens Creek in south CA, their price is not idea enough too, only $3500 discount (my expect arround 4.5K-5K), another worry is CA tax (I am not sure they can waive sales tax for OR resident or not).
