Drive off is just taxes. I wasnt sure if they roll it in the payment in MN. Per the calculator its needed upfront.
Yeah its not there deal yet just so far all deals I tried in MN are horrible. Tried MDX that was bad and then Volvo was even worse. I picked some deals that leashackrs approved and threw at them and all were rejected. Even with MSD’s.
But like @joeblogs said its not in high demand I have done the same. Threw some numbers at them and waiting to hear back.
Thats an outgoing model. Same body shape for so long. The interior is so old compared to other lexus models. Try to be as close to $550 with least amount of drive offs. If you really want to pay that price range, start working an XC90 deal.
Did you end up negotiating a agreeable price with the Wayzata or Maplewood locations? I live in the MSP area and im also in the market for a GX lease. The fact that they are long overdue for a revamp to the interior is a huge downside to the vehicle that should drop the price by quite a bit… Let me know what kind of deal you were able to find!
@Spencer_B
I know its a long time since you were looking for GX. I just recently moved here and I am looking for a GX Premium Lease. Were you able to get a good deal from any of those two dealers? If so could you share roughly what you were able to negotiate?
Nauman_Zahid , towards the end of the month of March I was offered $560 a month with $1600 out of pocket to drive it off the lot. The 1600 included 1st monthly payment, 1 MSD and the rest was cash “down” on the vehicle I believe. Sales tax rolled into monthly.
The only incentive that month was $1000 Lexus
cash. Not sure what incentives they offer now. This was on the middle model GX with msrp around 59k. Sell price was around 54k.
Should also mention that it was a 15k Miles/36 month lease. So expect cheaper if you’re only getting it for 10k miles a year
So gave up on the idea. I am aiming for 0 down and 500 odd including tax. The cars that my wife wanted was Volvo or the Highlander Limited. I was trying to get her to consider the LX 460 since I thought will be a better handling vehicle in in the MN winters. Kids are a bit rough on the interior as well.
The gx, as someone mentioned, is terribly outdated. For that kind of payment, I could name 20 better alternatives. Most of them are “anything but the 460”.
Ok yeah I agree that was a silly statement. Tires and probably some ground clearance. 4W or AW does have plus and negative points. I definitely intend to use winter tires but perhaps the extra ground clearance will help.
Ok my friends. This is what I have been offered after two rounds.
GX - Premium
MSRP: $59667
$5k discount (wouldn’t agree to apply the rebate of $2500 even thought there site calculator has it)
sell price: $54667
36 month - 12k
residual: 59%
resdual value: $35203.53
MF: .0006
In reality - the $3911 is basically equaling a payment of $704 a month. That’s a terrible price for this car. Cast a wider net since the dealers you’re working with aren’t playing ball. It may be worth it to drive 2-3 hours or more to get a better car. Increase the radius you’re searching in, see what’s available, look at loaner/demo vehicles. Find the MF/RV/Incentives, from there reach out to dealers with specific stock #'s/loaner/demos and see what they can do. Then counter, be firm, if they can meet your payment, you’ll be down there today. Someone will either come close or bite at your payment.
