#572 of 1118 Excellent Purchase Experience by finfighter Apr 15, 2005 (4:20 am)
Hello:   I just wanted to pass along the outstanding buying experience my wife and I had at Ray Catena Lexus in NJ. After several months of negotiations in the Washington, DC area we were forced to travel out of state to purchase our new 05 GX. We haggled and haggled painstakingly with local dealers but in the end made our purchase over the phone in 20 minutes, out-of-state. I sent an e-mail to the Internet Sales group at Ray Catena and they returned with a phone call in less than 30 minutes. I mentioned this web site forum and started the negotiations. In less than 20 minutes we agreed upon a price and the vehicle was reserved with a 500.00 deposit. We waited about three weeks for our car to arrive at port and the dealership kept us informed about the delivery date.   We opted for every option except DVD, the color is Blizzard Pearl and we paid $47,000.00 before taxes, MSRP $52,888.00. This price beat our local area prices hands down! Ray Catena Lexus picked us up at the Amtrak station in Trenton, NJ, transported us to the dealership, complete the paperwork and we drove our new GX 250 miles back to our home. GREAT RIDE HOME!   This dealership is very prepared for out-of-state purchases and completed all the necessary paperwork to obtain MD tags and registration in a timely manner. I would highly recommend a call to them if you're within driving distance distance to Monmouth, NJ, you won't be disappointed.   Good luck with your purchase and give them a call!   Tom Replies to this message: kirstie_h (Apr 15, 2005 7:28 am) raphster (May 13, 2005 6:13 am)

#574 of 1118 "Loaded" GX470 San Francisco Bay Area by jephjeph Apr 19, 2005 (9:53 pm)
I purchased an '05 GX 470 with:   Navigation / Mark Levinson audio Third Row Seat Rear Seat Entertainment (DVD) Hitch Bracket Hitch Receiver w/Ball Mount Rear Spoiler wheel locks exhaust tip cargo net carpeted cargo mat   for $47,514, from the excellent people at Putnum Lexus in Redwood City. With tax and licenses it was $51,482.62 out the door. Edmunds doesn't list the invoice on the rear spoiler, but I think it's about $345, so that would put me pretty darn close to invoice.   I wouldn't have gotten such a great deal if it wasn't for being prepared, with much thanks to Edmunds.

#575 of 1118 GX470 in Dallas Area by tex513 Apr 25, 2005 (9:40 pm)
I am in the Market for an 05 GX470. I visited the local dealership in Dallas today and was quoted a $54.8K price for the GX loaded with: Navigation / Mark Levinson audio Third Row Seat Rear Seat Entertainment (DVD) Hitch Bracket Hitch Receiver w/Ball Mount Rear Spoiler wheel locks exhaust tip cargo net carpeted cargo mat That's so far from what I'm seeing on this forum I don't believe negotiating it down is possible. Any advice for the Dallas area buyers ?

Try emailing different dealers and make them fight for your business rather going to the dealership. Tell them You've got a quote for this much, can you beat this price? Krystal

Replying to: ksc1 (Mar 15, 2005 6:04 pm) I just got mine at Lexus of Glendale, I was dealing with their business development department. You talk and they listen. I got the car very close to invoice but what got me was the willingness to listen in what I have to say.   I look forward to servicing my car there and I hope their service dept is as good as their sales.   BTW, Thanks to edmunds.com's forum, I was able to confirm that I got my car at a great price.

Replying to: finfighter (Apr 15, 2005 4:20 am) here's another vote for Ray Catena. emailed and called all the local Lexus dealers, including the dealer I got my rx300 from a few yrs back, and NONE of them were able to provide a lease price even close to RC. I'm paying $630 mth 8.5% NY tax incld, for 27mths -0- down $1200 out of pocket for bank fee + MV + sec dep Options include: 3rd row seating, spoiler and tow ready
#579 of 1118 GX 470 price - Is it a good deal? by tcao May 15, 2005 (1:14 am)
Got a deal from a MA dealer - GX470 + Third row with AC package (with cargo net and floor mats) + Rear spoiler + Towing prep. Dealer will sell for invoice + 600, which came out to $44,200. The kicker is invoice does include a $598 LDA (Lexus Dealer Advertisement) charge.   Dealer stated that they "MUST" pass LDA to comsumer. I thought $600 over invoice is a reasonable deal but if they slap on that LDA it it $1200, which I believe is excessive.   I tried to walk out of the negotiation by refusing to pay LDA, dealer wouldn't bend. I still have a hang over why should consumers have to pay LDA, on the other hand, we would not know of the charge if the dealer did not disclose that information. Attempt to contact Lexus directly regarding this issue was unsuccessful on the weekend.   Question is - is LDA a legitimate charge? Is it fair to pay LDA? or should I walk if I am forced to pay LDA? Your Help is appreciated. I have till end of 5/15 to make my decission. But already put down $1000 refundable deposit.

So you got below invoice:) How did you negotiate to that price? Also was this from their internet sales manager? I got an initial quote for 1,500 over invoice.

#581 of 1118 Chicago GX by 05gx4me May 31, 2005 (10:57 am)
I purchased my Ash Blue Mica GX this weekend for $47,219 from Arlington Lexus. It has Nav, 3rd row w/ac, tow package(and ball mount), accessory package, spoiler, and chrome tip. Thanks for all the postings on this site! I couldn't have gotten this much off of MSRP without all the postings out there. Kudos to Arlington Lexus for superior customer service and a smooth transaction.
