Lexus Pull Ahead?

Ask the Hackrs
1

I was looking at a SUV at end of my lease but wife said maybe if Lexus is willing to let you pull ahead for 6 months, might be worth getting another GS350 for $450/month
vs me paying 7x$750 over next months.
My current payment is $750 ($5K negative equity from trade-in)! Yes, I def got hosed and owned. I have about 7 or 8 payments left so don’t mind paying the final 2 off on my own. I did get a notice in the mail from my original dealer (which I moved states) saying they can keep my payment same and give me a new car. Obviously they are smoking something if they think I will be paying the same…

Does anyone know if all dealers do pull aheads or just a program that comes randomly?

If it’s a dealer pull ahead offer, they are just rolling your payments into the new lease. You want an LFS pull ahead offer, which I am not positive exists. They may offer 2-3 months sometimes, but I doubt they ever offer 6 month pull ahead.

Its possible they are eating the 6 months, depending what they can get for a CPO gs350 at their shop. But not too likely at 750 a month.

Also, good luck getting another GS350 at 450 a month. Seems that ship sailed in 2015. Hope I am wrong.

I can tell you this much, NY and FL usually have a 3 month pull ahead program and I’m pretty sure it’s nationwide, but don’t quote me. I’ve never heard Lexus doing a 6 month pull ahead.

Is that from LFS or Dealer?

I think $450 is possible cause right now I see they have $3000 lease cash and $2000 owner loyalty. Maybe if I can get them to push for a 2017. I am just working with numbers and getting around $500 a month

You cannot lease a 2017 GS anymore.

8

Awww :frowning: I thought cause MB and BMW do.

I have been considering a GS350 , there are no 2017s around. And the 2018s have very low supply so far.

10

Have you tried swapalease/leasetrader? Use some of your Volvo conquest cash as an incentive, might cost you less than covering some of the final months yourself.

I listed it a while ago and no takers at $475 a month. I was giving the incentive of the difference. I’m even okay with LFS taking care of 3 payments and have dealer eat other 3. Might have to stop by lexus this week if even possible.

Went to Lexus and said they will waive 3 payments…

Got some ridiculous number of $627 a month with tax with $3500 down. This takes me out of my lease completely.

MSRP: 55,665
Selling Price: 50,000 (with lease cash)
RV: 55%
MF: .0004
Negative Equity: 2310
DP: 3500
Sales Tax: 3%
Monthly: $627

13

What is the $3,500 going towards? See if you can apply towards MSDs

14

Apparently covering 3 of the final 6 payments, DMV, doc fees… I told him to give me a break down but just giving me run around.

Does anyone know if a demo is leaseable with Lexus? I found one with 7500 miles on it

15

They cannot - they’re treated as used cars.

16

Awww even if it wasn’t titled? That sucks lol

17

Nope - I don’t believe so. Lexus is very strict about their leasing.

18

I know 2017s are still available at my dealer but they said better numbers on 2018s but maybe I can get them down a lot to MSRP…

19

Lexus dealer said as long it has less than 5,000 miles and 2018, its possible to lease.

Just realized lexus fiscal year is in March so might go in March to get a killer deal!
