Good Deal on 2005? by jap2

I received an offer of $47,298 on a 2005 GX470 with an MSRP of $51,298. I am in New Orleans and of course a lot of folks are buying after the storms and there's only one dealership. It seems that either I need a better deal on the 2005 or it makes sense to go for the 2006. Any advice. I need to buy this week!

Your dealer no doubt has a captive audience down there. If I were you, I would get on the Internet and start negotiating with a couple or three other dealers in near-by states. At this point in the model year, they should be selling 2005's for just a bit over invoice. It would be worth the extra $2,000 or more in savings to travel to another dealer to take delivery. If you're not getting a good deal on the 2005, I'd bet that the deal on the 2006 at your local dealer would be far worse. I've found Internet negotiating to be quick and easy. SUV's are not moving well right now. You are in a buyer's market, if you can just find a person willing to negotiate. Hope this helps.
Let us know how you do.

Although I have recently purchased a 2006 GX470 in Orange County, California, I am still receiving Internet quotes from various dealers via their automated e-mail system. Long story short, just received an internet fleet quote from a So Cal dealer for a November sales event advertising all 2006 GX470's for a cost of FACTORY INVOICE.
 
Which means that if I would have waited another month I would saved the $1300 (over factory invoice)I paid. OUCH!

FACTORY INVOICE? Can you name the dealer? What site did you use for your internet search? I'm in the market (most likely next month) and I understand from one dealer that they have their annual sales event in December, starting on the 5th. Sounds like your guy may be jumping the gun?

A national paper would like to hear from consumers who are back looking at SUVs with the drop in fuel prices. If you have a story to share about how you had put your search on hold, but are now looking at SUVs again, please respond to ctalatiedmunds.com with your daytime contact info., city/state of residence, and the make/model(s) that you are looking for no later than Wednesday, November 9, 2005

The dealer is Crown Lexus, Ontario CA. Here is a partial copy of the text:
 
The Internet Department at Crown Lexus is proud to announce our?November Sales Event on all 2006 GX 470s.
 
Through November 30, 2006, all GX 470s will be sold to our customers for a special Internet price of??FACTORY INVOICE!
 
This computes to savings from $6,214 on the base model to $7,559 on the navigation/rear entertainment/sport package model.

 
Basically for the internet search I just went to each dealers internet site and requested internet quotes. We are lucky that So Cal has so many Lexus dealers within the area we live (within an hour to 2 hours drive). There are probably at least 10 dealers in this greater So Cal region.
 
Good Luck!

Any idea if this is a national promotion or limited to So. Cal dealers or just this dealer? What a great deal on this vehicle!

Thanks Guys.
