If your dealer gave you a VIN# to the car and you put a deposit on it you should get it. Sometimes cars do get held up at port past when they say it will be shipped out. You should ask your dealer for the report that they get of exactly your car at the port and what day it is expected to be shipped. The dealer has exactly what is in their allocation from the manufacturer(with VIN#, color, trim, features, options, etc.) and the approx. date it should arrive at port from Japan. The dealer would honestly rather have you lease or finance the car thru them. That way they make the profit on the sale plus they get a piece of the finance/interest charges that you pay. Paying cash for a car is the last thing the dealer want's to hear.

Replying to: maxhonda99 (Sep 24, 2004 10:56 am) Just a quick question for you (or whoever)Are all GX's manufactured in Japan, or do they manufacture some in Canada, like the RX? Wasn't sure. Can you answer my question about certain colors being harder to get? Also, if I am expecting my vehicle by the end of September, what month was it most likely produced? |

| I just bought my GX470 last sunday from Longo Lexus in El Monte, CA. I paid 42,200 for it. It is the basic one w/out the nav. system. Is this a good price? I love it, but I want to see if this was a good price. Thx | |

What would be the best price one could get a 2004 GX470 with 3rd row, Nav and rear entertainment? According to Edmunds, the vehicle has an MSRP of $52,640, an invoice of $45,440. Is $1,000 over invoice possible? Better than that? I don't pay attention to Edmunds TMV, since the last two cars I bought (Honda S2000 and Acura TL) were done at prices that were $3,000 and $2,000 under the then current TMV respectively. I'm good, but not that good. Also, Edmunds still lists the third row as an option, but I seem to recall seeing others indicating it is now included in the (same) base price? That's a $2,000 swing item alone. Final question: KDSS? For those that have it, your comment on how it improves, if at all, highway driveing and general handling. We will not be off-roading much, and wouldn't get it just for that. Thanks in advance for responses.

| Just posted this on another thread, but I will post it here too as I am hoping for a speedy response. Are all GX's built after a certain date the 9700C model? How can you tell for sure, is this number part of the VIN or is it listed seperately on the vehicle somewhere? Have heard lots of references to the differences between the 9700B and 9700C models and not sure what the difference is... | |

Replying to: habitat1 (Sep 25, 2004 3:37 am) Down south the deals are not as good. Go to Lexus.com and search the dealers in your area. You can send them all an email/quickquote with the exact specs that you want and they will email you a price. Some will reply with a phone number to call them for the price. However you should get enoungh responses by email to get a good idea what vehicles in your area are going for. Additionally you should do the same thing for dealers in neighboring states. You may have to travel a few miles to get the best deal or use the out of state info to work your best deal in state. As far as the 3rd row seat goes...it is now included as part of the base price. It may not appear on some older window stickers but Lexus has advised the dealers that the MSRP should be reduced by $2,030.00. Don't let a dealer tell you otherwise! You can also verify this online at lexus.com. I am in the process of cutting my deal and I will finalize tomorrow. |

Although the 3rd row seat is part of the base price, my dealer informed me the rear spoiler and tow package would now be standard on all incoming '04 GX's with Nav/MLS - at least in Southern CA. So while you're saving the $2030 MSRP from the seats, you'll have to add $970 MSRP for these 2 'options'.
