An asking price of $27,900 is too much for a 2004 car with such high mileage. I think $26,500 is fair for a certified vehicle. I would buy the new car with less mileage over the 2004. I wouldn't pay more than $29,960. My calculations are between $29,390 and $29,960 for the 2005 car.

For that 2004 es330, edmunds.com has it listed for $26600 for used, and $28800 for certified. You think around $26600 is fair for certified?

I originally thought $27,900 was fair but rethought this after looking at the Black Book retail prices for a 2004 Lexus 330 with 17,000 miles (no options) . Here are the Black Book Retail Prices.
 
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.

seabush, I think your price is fair, I was thinking about around 27k would be fair as an asking price. I just couldn't "prove" it to the dealership as edmunds.com listed around 28k (i think).
 
When I asked the dealers (3 that i checked), they pretty much all laughed at my offer (27000 to 27500, depends on mileage).
 
I am thinking if i am going to pay for the amount that the dealers are willing to seel for an used 2004, mind as well wait for the 2005 in 3 more months for them to drop.

seabush, by the way what do you think is a fair price for a 2005 es330 with 110 mileage on it?
 
Would I be better off and wait til 2006 for 2005 vehicle?

I just wanted to tell you that when i test drove the 05 es 330, i noticed that there was a hesitation in the transmission while on the 06 es 330 i couldnt detect it at all so i would in my personal opinion go for the 2006 rather than the 2005.

I think between $29,390 and $29,960 is fair for the 2005 car. Here's how I came up with the figure.
 
Invoice Price
 
Base Price: $28,528
Destination: 650
Total Price: $29,178
Less Dealer
Holdback (644)
 
Actual Dealer $28,534
Cost
Dealer Profit 1,427
(5%)
Offer Price: 29,961
 
I would get the 2005 model over 2004. As it relates to buying a 2005 versus 2006, it depends on if you want to purchase something that has been sitting on the lot for awhile versus a spanking new car. According to Edmunds.com, with the exception of satellite radio there are differences between the 2005 and 2006 ES330 models. In addition, there's little difference in the invoice cost between 2005 and 2006. If you can get a base model 2006 for $30K, I would buy that over the 2005 model. If you have a price in mind that you consider fair and reasonable, then hold firm. The prices will eventually drop on the 2005 models to make room for new inventory.
