Price of 2008 S63

I hope you can help me or give me some suggestions. My lease on Lexus LS460L ends in 2 weeks and I'm thinking about getting an S63. I know you can get a pretty good deal on S550, but what are some of the deals you guys have been getting on S63, if any. Thank you.

Don't have pricing datapoints, but would think that, w/ample S63s in inventory and today's tight credit environment (esp for dealers sitting on pricey, stale inventory), one should expect solid discts....

Would suggest test-drive of S600 vs S63....similar pricing...but for largely straight-line driving/commuting, prob would opt for 600, not 63....

600 effortlessly delivers vastly superior mid-range tq; has far more elegantly finished interior....

63's strengths are far cooler exterior body/wheels/exhaust tips/brakes; sharper steering, chassis....some of best brakes on planet today...a rather charismatic exhaust note....but 63 suffers from an abysmally plasticky interior that belongs in an E/ML, not a $150K car....

If live in region requiring winter tires/wheels, prob easier to find competent winter tires/wheels that work vs 600's relatively modest-sized (but adequate) brakes, as opposed to 63's notably larger brakes....
