I am about to pull the trigger on what I believe is a super deal. MSRP = $53,560 which includes $715 dest Base vehicle, Nav/ML, 3rd row seat w AC, rear spoiler, pref acc package, all weather mats, tow prep package. $47,200 which is invoice + $500, NJ Sales tax, tire tax, doc fees are extra. I can tell you that I priced the car EVERYWHERE as I wanted it configured (which is basically everything except the rear entertainment dvd), and this was the absolute best deal I could find within 500 mile driving distance of central NJ. If you PM me or e-mail me at phula11231 AT yahoo.com, I can point you to a NJ dealer who will provide you a great deal. In fact, if you are ready to go NOW (and I do mean now), we can probably buy BOTH yours and mine and get a few extras thrown in. If you arent quite ready, I'll still give you my contact..but it would be mighty sweet to offer to buy TWO GX's (heck maybe more), and squeeze a little more.. BTW, I contacted the west coast dealers, and, as I reported earlier, they were not cooperative for me. One even wanted me to fly to Cali, just to process the paperwork (welcome to the new millenium). I am NOT a car dealer, related to a car dealer, or anything else. Not a shill, and no hanky panky. I appreciate the opportunity to give back to Edmunds and the community here, who have helped me in the past. ED in Metuchen, NJ PS. Although one Cali Lexus dealer did offer "at invoice" price, the cost of shipping the car ($500 or more), made the deal a wash compared to what I was able to negotiate. |

just curious. Colorado is less friendly than most. Worse comes to worse I would be willing to ship from Cali if that's best. As i recall someone did get it shipped from Cali to Colorado invoice. I would be happy to give that dealer more business if someone would post the name of the dealership. Thanks. |

Replying to: maroonboy (May 03, 2007 1:37 pm) My dealer is Lexus of Riverside. I talked to my internet sales person, he/she doesn't have an issue talking to others interested so I will email that person's name. This is what was said though,"pricing changes from model to model and is based on Inventory and the availability of the color and equipment someone wants." Again - I got my deal end of quarter.

Looking to lease the GX 470 for 36 months. Credit score is A+ and would like some info on lease payments, residuals, money factors, etc. The dealer wants $740 / mo for 36 months with no money down for a GX 470 with Mark Levinson nav, 3rd row seats, and tow package. Any body have recent lease experience with this SUV. Thanks.

Replying to: maroonboy (May 05, 2007 9:53 am) PS: I would guess that most of the Auto Brokers in Colorado deal with the Lexus Dealers on the west cost. My sales person stated as such. They was used to shipping to Colorado. |

Last December, we ordered a 2007 GX 470 with ML/Navigation, Lexus Link, Rear Entertainment System, Satellite Radio except we did not a third row seat. The price was not great at $2000 over invoice, but much better than the local Memphis dealer and far less attitude. We placed a $2000 deposit and received confirmation from the Internet sales person. We were told that it would take 120 days for the SUV to arrive. In late January, we were told that we could not get the rear entertainment system unless we got the third row according to the Japanese production facility. So we told them to continue with the order without the rear entertainment system. In late March, I contacted my sales guy to get an update on delivery. We were hoping that it would arrive early. He confirmed that everything was fine with the order. During the third week of April, I called again to coordinate my trip to the city to pick up the car. He did not return my phone calls for two days. On the third day, the sales manager called and said that the order was never submitted. He was rather nonchalant about it. He offered no other explanation as to how this could happen and offered to return my deposit or reorder another SUV. He offered no other concessions. I am not much on conspiracy theories. The salesperson had multiple times to correct the situation. Why didn't he? Why did the Japanese production facility send the order change if the order was never submitted? I think they sold the SUV to someone else that saw the vehicle in the store for a higher price. Maybe someone like us, who did not want the third row. I don't believe the sales guy was that incompetent or blatantly lied over and over when we exchanged messages by saying that everything was fine on multiple occasions. He was promoted during this time and is still with the dealership, but I have not been able to reach him. We are angry and frustrated with the prospect of waiting until October for the SUV. We like the SUV, but don't care much for the front-end people. And we don't want to pay $50K and not get exactly what we want. Any suggestions for finding out what really happened? Do we have any recourse? I have been contemplating writing Lexus of North America to complain. Any suggestions are welcome. Thakns.
