THOUGH I would never get it, I could see how that is incredibly useful. For example, when you have a very young child in a rear facing seat, a driver often doesn't know what the kid is doing. Yes there are those mirrors you can hang, but that is daytime only.
With the rear view camera (night vision), if you are driving at 10pm, you can see what your 3 month old is doing, instead of having to pull over, and check on your child.
Then again our 1987 Toyota Master Ace, had none of these features. It was mid engine, RWD, engine under the driver seat, dual sunroof, captain chairs that fully swiveled so you could play a card game on a road trip, and cool ice box.
Didn't think about, I've had to do that a couple of times already. LOL.
So you are getting used Sienna for family as extra Car. $25,000
You are getting CTR for yourself. $35,000
What is wife getting ?
Probably something in $50k range.
She wants a smaller car since we will have big cars. The Avant was her car.

PS: the Pacifica can wear 20s...and not hinder the ride quality.
You come tell my pregnant wife to stfu and go check out a freaking Pacifica. It's just not happening.
I'm going to install 18x9.5 RPF1s on the Sienna hahaha Tires are way too pricey for 19s or 20s.

When I was thinking about the Buick TourX, my wife shot down the idea right away because it's American. Then I started showing her JD Power and Consumer Reports data and she changed her mind due in large part to the fact she had no idea that Buick was a top five brand in reliability categories most years.
How do you do that with a Pacifica? I don't know. I do know the top trim Pacifica is my favorite looking and engineered minivan on the market right now.
But then again my wife would rather drive Fred Flintstones's car than own a minivan ...
Yeah, it's just not happening. And I'm pretty set on Sienna too.

I vote C300 for her car
20s aren't too bad, 255/45-20 Michelin Pilot Sport AS3+ on our Flex were around $800+install, IIRC. Fantastic tires, especially compared to the Nitto Motivo that were on it before.
I had an interesting proposition at work today from a co-worker about using my lease benefits towards a LC; 36 months, 7,500 miles/year, for originally $1,135/month after employee discount. Apply my lease benefits and it's around $800-$900/month tops. That's before applying lease specials that just came out today. I originally considered a GS F but the residuals are so bad, it'd only be $135/month less.
Too early to seriously consider, but I may revisit it in December when the best deals are available.

I remember trying to find lease info on the GSF but could not find much.
So for a non-employee, GSF is about 1000 a month for 36/12k miles lease?

I think that's about right, but I will get you a solid answer today.
If you push for it & ask how dirty they're willing to get, your dealer may be able to take $10,000 off sticker to start. They're not moving, so come December 2 Remember, they'll be open to making deals on them.
but i follow RCF on club lexus and YUUUUGE discounts on tons of leftovers were provided by dealers
edit: 1) looks like people are paying 60-65k for GSF with 87k msrp
someone paid $66k on a 90k msrp gsf
dealers getting 14,000$ from lexus to move it
(per most recent thread on CL)
2) someone just paid RCF $59k from Cerritos dealer RCF. Msrp 77k
(most recent thread on CL)

I knew about the man whoring, but what's this sewing business you speak of..
He is the progenitor of the new age torture tactic called foodboarding.
He sews a person's anus shut and force feeds them. Then force feeds them more... and more... and more, until they finally give him what he wants, such as money.

My coworker just quoted it for about $1285/month just off hand; $10000 off could get it down a lot more but he doesn’t want to guarantee you that deal bc it has to be approved. He said with you being out in Cali, you can likely find a much better deal around that $1000/month.
It's a cool car and all, but I couldn't justify making a mortgage payment on a depreciating asset that you return after a few years
I'm stupid with my money. The instant my coworker said it wasn't impossible to get a $100,000 car for $800/month, my eyes lit up like a fat kid at the buffet.
I quit my previous job and started this earlier last year. It's been growing very well. I work at home too. We basically use Alcantara and Leather to upholster any type of interior panels.
Alltrac 6MT, shame not available on the SEL.
