Buying ES330 2005 or used 2004? by jaewook
Sep 19, 2005 (6:35 pm)
I'm trying to buy ES330 new 2005 or used 2004. A dealer quoted me around $32000 for MSRP $35099 new 2005 and most of dealers are asking $29500 ~ $30000 for used 2004. I just want to buy ES330 regardless of year if I can get a good deal. Which one will be better?

I have two quotes from the NJ/ PA area. They are:
 
pageguy2, 2005 ES330, 8/9/2004, Havorford, PA (Wilkie Lexus), purchase, $38,444, $35000, 91% MSRP
 
x021607, 2005 ES330, 1006, 9/1/2005, Bridgewater, NJ (DiFeo Lexus), purchase, $35909, $32500, 90.5% MSRP.
 
.5%MSRP difference is not THAT much ($170-$190) but you may want to play one dealer against the other in this instance. Who knows? You might be able to get a deal down to 89% MSRP.
 
rosebud, the fact that I have so few posts from your area is a good reasom for including your deal! If you do, then we will have three from this area. Thanks.

Buying ES330 in GA by wlonline
Sep 21, 2005 (11:51 am)
I am in the market for an ES330. One dealer in Atlanta offered me $30500 for a 2005 with Level 1 options (6cd, memory driver seat, wood/leather trim wheel, 17" alloy wheels) and $32000 for 2006 same options. Price is before TTL. Driveout price including 6% tax is $32950 for 2005 and $34230 for 2006.
 
Is this a good deal? Which one sounds better - 2005 or 2006?
 
Thanks

No meaningful differences from '05 to '06 that I've seen documented anywhere. Memory setas are standard equipment nationwide, I believe. I think you could probably get a better price on the '06, and almost certainly a better price on the '05. They're both brand new, save a few bucks unless you have a head game about having the 'newer' car. The '05 will depreciate a bit faster out of the gate but will line up with the '06 after a while, adjusted for mileage and condition.

markata, if there were another competing dealer in your area,you might want to try for a lower price. Your quote amounts to $32357/$35619 x100 = 90.8%. If your are willing to negotiate a little you may be able to get 89% MSRP, which is in line with what some posters (outside of So Califormai) have been getting this month.
 
89% MSRP equates to $31,700 for your car. This price should cover everything except government charges like tax and license. 90.8% is an OK deal. in line with other posters are paying but you may be able to get lower.
 
See my summary a couple of messages below. 89% may be obtainable on vehicles purchased from dealers outside of California. Folks purchasing at California dealers have been getting as low as 87% MSRP this month.
 
You may want to judge for yourself by observing my deal summary below. Most notable was anonapersona, whose first quote was 91.8% MSRP but was able to get 88.9% by looking at another dealer in Houston.

Your deal is 87.8% MSRP, a pretty good deal, even in Southern California.
