I live north of Boston and am looking at an 04 GX470 with MSRP of $47,532. This is a demo model with 400 miles on it. What is a fair offer to make? The dealer has already mentioned that lexus (like other luxury dealerships) doesn't feel the need to negotiate but there is some room. Can anyone suggest a dealer in MA or NH who is willing to negotiate around invoice?

Thanks all of you for your feedback. I just brought a Silver / Ivory GX470 with all options except RES. I was going to wait for ’05, but decided to get it now b/c of the ’04 saving, insignificant changes on ’05. List Price $48.9K, paid $44K + tax + license fees. Drove 2 hrs to NJ dealer to get this deal. I live in Central PA. PA/MD/VA dealers would not go this low.
 
1) Lots of power, quiet, smooth trans, nice interior, handle well, but it is a truck. LS is much smoother.
2) Rear swinging door – my wife (5’1”) actually like it. I am indifferent.
3) 3rd row seats – inconvenient, take up so much cargo space, need improvements, good for little kids, but dangerous w/o rear airbag.
4) ML stereo – clear and good base but I am not too impressed. Over rated?
5) Nav – nice to have but not needed.
 
I didn’t want factory 7” DVD b/c I think it is too small and am planning to install a 10” Rosen overhead DVD.
Do you think it would be too big for GX?
 
Again, thank you all. I’ve learned so much from you.

I got the same one just like what you have at Sterling McCall Lexus for $46,500 + 6.25% sales tax and Lic with total drive out of $50,600.
 
PS, the window sticker price is over $53K

Your window sticker must include 3rd row seat.
My out-of-the door price is almost $47K with 6.0% PA tax.

When I bought my GX in May, the salesman talked about a 7" and 9" option. I told him I definitely wanted the 9".
But when the dealer's AV tech guy came to show us the system, he stated he was no longer putting in anything larger than 7". Anything larger on an overhead system will totally obscure your view through the rearview mirror. He stated that the dealer did not want to be held liable and would no longer install a 9" screen.
The larger screen is heavier and could come loose. My business partner has a 13" in their Sequoia which has had to be reinstalled several times because the screen just dropped while driving. Also, large screens will bounce quite a bit even during regular driving. Which may be setting you up for nauseous kids.
Bigger is not always better

Thanks for your feedback. Good point on the "bouncing screen" which I didn't take the "bouncing" into consideration.
I am planning to have the specialized shop that my local Lexus Dealer uses. He has installed many GX and LX with 9". He told me that b/c of the sun roof, he'd have to drop the head liner and add a metal support even though the Rosen 10" weights only 6.4lbs.
The rear view block doesn't bother me because I always turn my head b/f changing lane and the side mirrors are sooo big. Also, the 7" would also block about 60% of the rear view.

Roni,
 
I purchased my truck on 10/21 for about $500 over invoice and did a short write up here just after (post #394). At that time the dealer said that was about as low as you can get... but now with the very last '04's coming in, I think you can do better if you're willing to put in the time - especially once the '05's start arriving on the lots.
