Replying to: beemertime (Oct 08, 2005 7:28 pm) I wonder why Edmund's posters or the hosts have not pointed out that what I was doing was replicating what the TMV already does, except that Edmund's probably uses better algorithms than I do! From now on, I'll just refer the posters to the TMV!!! TMV is probably a better indicator than what I provide unless Edmund's posters get better deals than the average purchaser. Oh, well, if nothing else, at least I think I convinced some posters to go negotiate much better deals than they would have had I not egged them on!! |

Replying to: beemertime (Oct 08, 2005 7:28 pm) The answer to your second question is that the reason TMV is 97% MSRP is that the quote is for a 2006, which is so new that perhaps purchasers are paying a premium for it. I expect the difference between TMV (97% MSRP in California) for a 2006 versus for a 2005 (currently 88.6% in California, which probably recently happened with availability of the 2006) will drop like a rock in very short order. I suppose my analysis has helped me in that based on my knowledge, there is NO WAY I'd pay almost 9% of MSRP for a 2006 over a 2005. If I had to, I'd wait several months or get the 2005. |

Replying to: seabush (Oct 10, 2005 7:46 pm) the first car it's a 2005 es330, asking and selling for $31988 with 110 miles. My question is which is the better deal? what is a "good" for a 2005 es330 with reasonable mileage? Is 2005 that much better than 2004 in your opinion? I like 2005 because it has the audio contol on the wheel instead of on the dash. Many dealerships in my area, CT tend not to like bargaining for 2005 es330. i even checked the one in RI and MA. both states are about the same with prices on 2005 es330. What i found strange was one Lexus dealership in NJ tends to offer any lexus cars about $1000 less than their competitors, why? Can I trust that dealership? It is one of the lexus approved dealership.

Replying to: beemertime (Oct 11, 2005 4:51 am) Clean - $30,125 (No body scratches, dents, rust or other signs of wear. Interior is perfect. Very low mileage. Very few vehicles qualify for Clean when a vehicle is traded in.) Average - $28,275 (Body is very clean with only a few minor scratches, no dents and no rust. Interior is very clean with very little noticeable wear. Mileage less than 15,000 miles per year.) Rough - 24,375 (Body is very rough with many scratches, dents, rust or hail damage. Interior is dirty and shows excessive wear. Mechanically needs work. High mileage.). I have no idea the condition of the car but labeled it rough due to the high mileage. I tacked on 2K for the additional warranty plus an estimated $200 it took the dealer to recondition the car. This totals up to approximately $26,500 (actual 26,575). It sounds like you think my pricing is too aggressive? |

| I just ordered a 2006 blue onyx on ivory es 330 for $34700. The MSRP on this car is $38174. It is fully loaded with Navigation BUT the dealer said that Mark Levinson audio is no longer an option for the 2006 ES 330's. Do you guys think this is a fair deal? Thanks in advance for replying. | |
