GX470 in Dallas Area by tex513

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?

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.

emailed and called all the local Lexus dealers, including the dealer I got my

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

GX 470 price - Is it a good deal? by tcao

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.

"I purchased an '05 GX 470 with:

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."
 
a sales consultant from Putnum Lexus told me that the invoice for the "Loaded" GX470 was $47664. 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.

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.

Recieved a quote for a certified (3 year 100K warranty) on an '04 GX470 with Nav/DVD and 3rd row for $45,800 with 19,000 miles. Best price for a new '05 with same options was 49,900 but the warranty upgrade was $1700 more. Does this used deal sound good? I live in an area with one Lexus dealer and the closest competitor is 100 miles away. Original price on the '04 was $47,950. Any feedback appreciated.
