Lexus Increases Incentives by Over 40%

Great news for Lexus shoppers - as we predicted in July, Lexus has begun increasing their incentives dramatically in an effort to gain back market share.

Lexus had been the best-selling luxury brand in the U.S. for 11 consecutive years.

With sales down over 17% this year, that's no longer the case.

BMW now holds the title of best-selling luxury brand followed closely by Mercedes-Benz.

Lexus Incentives Increase

According to Edmunds.com, Lexus increased their incentives spending a whopping 41% last month to $2,667 per unit sold. This is the biggest monthly increase by any major automotive brand in recent history.

Unfortunately for Lexus, the competition isn't just sitting idly by. Mercedes is offering a $4,000 incentive to luxury car owners if they switch from a competing brand into a Mercedes E-Class or M-Class.

Lexus has four months to gain back some market share and build momentum for 2012.

Their pain is your gain, so now is a great time to be shopping for a new Lexus. We expect incentives to remain high for the remainder of the year.






3 Steps Every Car Buyer Needs to Take to Save Maximum Money

The key to getting the best deal is to gather price or lease bids from as many local dealers as possible. Then shop that best price around until no one can beat it. Here are the steps:

Step 1 Get Prices From My Trusted Network

Select the vehicle you're interested in to see if there are local dealers in my network who will provide you with their best upfront price. You will get direct access to an internet sales manager who you can further negotiate with online (no need to visit dealership).

Step 2 Get Prices From TrueCar / CarsDirect

TrueCar, and CarsDirect are my top 2 online price quote recommendations. These services show you pre-negotiated prices from dealers closest to you - and the deals are usually pretty decent. But remember, you can still negotiate further.
