I bought a 05 ES330 today with just about everything on it including nav. ( no chrome wheels. ) the sticker price was $37,909 and with not to much negotiating they gave us a price of $33,242 we told them we had a target price of about $32,500 which we got from reading your web site about the percentages of 85 to 90 %s and the prices paid from this site, before we read this site we had no idea of what price we should look for, the sales man said he would ask his manager and came back with a strange look on his face and said he said if he gives you the price will you buy the car today. we said yes and so did he. what do you think...... $32,500 05ES330 sticker price $37909 . I think that comes out to 85.73% thanks again

I did a TMV on a 2005 ES330 just a week ago in the Southern California region and it came to 88.2% of MSRP. I don't want to mislead folks on this thread, so I need to state that on every quote under 87%, I have found something incorrect in the quotes. Purchasers should not expect 85% MSRP. If you truly received that price, then you really need to pat yourself on the back, because you have received by far the best deal of any poster on this thread. Congratulations! I have not done a direct analysis on whether a fully loaded versus lower tiers are going for a higher or lower %MSRP, but it is my impression that how the car is loaded does not impact %MSRP on factory packages all that much. |

Here is a more information on our deal. We live in the north suburbs of Chicago and shopped 5 dealers in and around our area and 2 in Milwaukee Wisconsin. We found a large range of dealers "Best " price from $32,500 to $33,995, with Milwaukee being the highest and least willing to negotiate. Here are the specifics on our car 2005 ES330 classic silver met. MSRP $32,175 17' wheels $80 heated and vent seats $640 HID headlights $640 sunshade $210 navigation sys. pkg. $2,200 stability control, traction control and brake ass. $650 wood and leather steering wheel and shift $330 power adjusted peddles $140 preferred accessory pkg. $194 sub total $37,259 delivery $650 total $37,909 plus TTL Dealer invoice $32,325 plus TDA , holdback and reserve $1447, total $33772 Our deal $32,500 plus TTL Our tips for negotiating would be 1)know dealer invoice and cost on the car and your target price. 2) keep the negotiating light , no one likes stress. 3) shop around, make a few phone calls before you go. Happy Car Shopping!!!!!!!!!!!! Good Luck.

Replying to: bayviewe (Oct 23, 2005 6:11 am) Dealer Geographical Region of Dealer Sticker price (MSRP) as it appears on the sticker. Please verify that you received a $32,500 deal on sticker price of $37909. It is confusing because you stated the MSRP is $32,175. I am going to assume that the your MSRP is $37909. Thanks.
