#1054 of 1070 Re: 08 GX470 Good Deal? [louiesmom] by quaker09 Apr 16, 2008 (8:11 pm)
Replying to: louiesmom (Apr 16, 2008 8:06 pm) Can you reasonably afford $600 a month? If you can, then go for it, but if you have any doubts, I would not. I think the interest rate is a bit high and that coupled with the state of the economy, I probably wouldn't do that. However, as I stated, leasing a car, especially a car such as this is a bad idea - even if the economy was doing awesome. Replies to this message: louiesmom (Apr 18, 2008 7:51 pm)

Replying to: quaker09 (Apr 16, 2008 8:11 pm) I actually can afford $600/month, but I did have a bad feeling about the deal so, I scratched it. I haggled with another dealer for the same car, same neg price of $45K and, got a much better result. Total out of pocket due at signing is $2087. Interest rate comes out to 3.84%. Much better deal.....
#1057 of 1070 Low financing and best car prices.. is this seasonal? by mattiefeb May 16, 2008 (9:58 am)
This is going to sound elementary. My lease is up in September and I was told that if I was buying/leaing a new LX470 that I should shop in September, because that is when the new models come out. I was told that Lexus best finance rates and car sale deals going on right now, are for their pre owned cars, because they are trying to get rid of inventory to make space for the new models coming out. Is there any truth this rumor? I am not adverse to buying a slightly used (maybe 10-20k mileage) Lexus if it is a super bargain, even if I have to do it a few months before my lease is up...expecially if the deal is that much sweeter. If I wait till September will I get a terrible deal if I choose to get one that is pre owned? Does anyone know how prices/rates are effected by the season? Thanks! Mattie

Hello to everyone. Would like some help in finding a target price to go for. I am looking at the base GX 470. I do not need the Nav or Entertainment System.   We only have one dealer in our area. Would any one let me know a general $ amount to expect off the MSRP.   Thanks in advance.
#1061 of 1070 Know It All's by lgarnes Jun 04, 2008 (5:26 pm)
I'm not naming anyone in general , I happen to sell Lexus and when someone says "you should be able to buy it at $200 above invoice with freebies" I simply think it's absurd. You are talking about a $50,000 truck. Prices are set by the MARKET , markets vary by region. If you are the only dealer within 300 miles then of course you don't have to discount your car to the extent that dealerships with more competition do. Don't take the word of people on this board as the gospel. To ask someone "is this a good deal?" can be a bad Idea because it could give you unrealistic expectations. Now all of a sudden If you can't negotiate your way to $200 above invoice you feel like a loser or you feel your salesman is a jerk. The best way to do it honestly is to get numbers from the 3 closest dealers IN YOUR AREA and go from there , Buy from the dealer and salesperson which you feel was the most honest and gave you the best service if the prices were competative. I can tell you of a competing dealer in my area that sell cars for less than I do. I can also tell you that after you buy the car you are on your own because when it comes to follow up and service they aren't the best. I hope the $7 a month was worth it.

Replying to: lgarnes (Jun 04, 2008 5:26 pm) thanks for your answer! i think everyone wants to get the best deal, but we all need to be realistic too. unfortunately there is only one lexus dealer in my state, so i have to call surrounding states to get a comparison.   can you tell us how far back of msrp you are selling the 08 gx? i think this will ease some people's (including mine!) hestitation of buying or leasing the truck.
#1063 of 1070 Good deal?/Safety question.... by osobear Jun 08, 2008 (8:51 pm)
We are looking at a new 2008 gx470 with DVD/Mark Levinson sound, third row with A/C, and tow package (no xm or rear DVD system) for 46,500k. Do you think this is a good deal considering the current slow SUV market?   Also, can anyone tell me if the gx470 side airbags extend to the third row of seats? I am having a really hard time finding any safety data on the car...most government safety testing sites show n/a for this car in this and previous years--what is the car's safety reputation? We will be occasionally putting children in the third row and are concerned about the airbags extended to the third row, as in the Acura MDX (which has a smaller/tighter third row feel). The MDX rates very well on safety and they advertise it on their website, so I was surprised Lexus does not mention/"brag" about safety regarding their cars on their website.   We previously have owned the RX300 and have really missed the Lexus drive. We are hoping to return to Lexus for their quality cars and dealership customer service.   Thanks for any info! Replies to this message: mpzmba (Jun 13, 2008 12:01 pm) osobear (Jun 13, 2008 4:43 pm)
