The lease on my 2016 is up in Nov, it was 36mo 30k lease (I just rolled over 30k mark). My payments are $438/mo (with taxes NorCal & I did 0 drive off). If I buy the car now LFS says I have to pay $26k. I got an email saying LFS would make the last 3 payments & if I get another one.
I called LFS and they said the deal applies to Toyota as well. Cody from SoCal informed me that it’s only for Lexus and not Toyota.
My options are:
- Buy the car: in this case can I still get the 3 month’s payments or can I negotiate the buying price (I think I’m ahead in lease)
- Buy or lease a new Lexus: nothing really appeals to me(I like the RC I have a lot) and I haven’t seen any decent Lexus deals here.
*. Return the car: I just did this with a Honda Van & HFS screwed me by charging me $5800 in damages (incorrectly, since I fixed everything before returning the car which cost me ~2k at a body shop), sending a notice to an old address on file & sending it to collections! I’m afraid something similar will happen if I don’t do a deal with Lexus. It’s got knocks and scratches.
Would deeply appreciate some advice!
