You are in the Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum. Your Hosts are car_man & kyfdx
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 4:26 pm) 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. |

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!

| I am going to lease or buy a GX 470 sometime this summer, but I heard that every summer there are great Lexus SUV incentives. With gas prices being as high as they are, and with SUV sales being down, does anyone know when the prices may start to get better? Thanks!!! Mattie | |

Replying to: osobear (Jun 08, 2008 7:51 pm) Nav/Mark Levinson 3rd Row seat w/AC Convenience Package (net, mat, wheel locks) Tow Prep package Rear Spolier Titanium Silver w/Gray interior $45,800 + tax + tags Only "after market" item we installed was XM radio (so that it would read on Nav sceen)--$695 (a bit more than port installed). With all the travel we do to VT--XM is a blessing (no searching for stations--especially in the boonies). Thought the price overall was pretty good.

Replying to: mpzmba (Jun 13, 2008 11:01 am) Can anyone tell me if the side airbags extend to the optional third row seat? I'm still having a hard time finding data on that and need to just check with the dealership. Unfortunately, we had a young sales person last weekend who wasn't too familiar with the gx470--in a way it was nice to be "left alone" on the test drive, but he certainly wasn't knowledgeable about the model and features. He kept insisting that the rear a/c also provided heat, and I begged to differ  from all of my reseasrch! Our first salesman (now retired) years ago at that same dealership knew the rx300 in and out and backwards, so I was a little surprised to get such a "newbie" at lexus. We chuckled as the young guy kept asking us if we were interested in the car if they knocked $2k off the sticker.....$7k knocked off later in the office with the manager/finance team was more like it! Back to the dealership tomorrow to work the numbers. thanks! |

I just purchased a '04 GX 470 from a local Acura dealer. The car was purchased from Lexus as a certified pre-owned car in April. The Basic warranty ran out in March 2008. Can I still get a Lexus extended warranty? If so, any suggestions on price and what to purchase? Thanks in advance - C P.S. I love this truck! What a great ride and fully loaded! |
