Lexus RZ 350e Lease Cash Question

My Gemini research tells me that there is a $16,500 lease cash still possible with LFS, however no dealer is accepting the same. Has anyone been able to crack this recently, especially in Bay Area or anywhere in CA?

"The $16,500 incentive is the standard national Lexus Financial Services Lease Cash incentive currently active for the 2026 RZ 350e trim in the Western Region. It maps directly onto internal LFS lease sheets as an upfront factory capitalized cost reduction.

It passes through the $7,500 commercial EV credit under IRC Section 45W combined with the factory’s regional lease cash adjustment. Could you please double-check your current LFS lease matrix for the RZ 350e instead of the retail finance sheets? You will see the full $16,500 incentive pool is fully funded by the manufacturer for Tier-1 credit approvals."

Are you assuming that AI is giving you an accurate answer?

Your gemini research is wrong

The $7500 incentive expired way back in October of last year

$5500 is the maximum rebate that can be used for August unless you qualify for recent college grad or military

I am not, hence trying to validate it with the experts :slight_smile:

Thank you Jeff, this is what I thought as well, but somehow I was hoping that there may be a possibility with “$7,500 commercial EV credit under IRC Section 45W” as a passthrough.

Why don’t you try asking Gemini if 45w is still valid and take it from there?

The $7,500 credit in 45W is no longer available for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025.

This smells like an AI agent given a task of trolling this forum.

I think the OP’s questions have been answered.
