Just purchased '06 Lexus ES330 from Lexus of Bellevue, WA. It was the last one they had (they just sold the 2nd to last dark blue one while we were there!). Lovely Oasis Green Pearl/ash interior - very classy, we love that combo. Heated seats, 6-disc CD, 17" wheels, VSC, HID, power rear shade, wood steering wheel/shifter, power brake pedals, cargo net, trunk mat, wheel locks. MSRP 36,709, paid 32,250 + tax/license. Seemed like a great buy, our first Lexus, what to others think about this deal? Still have some doubts - maybe should have waited for '07. BUT this car is SO nice as it is

2006 vs 2007 model? by jfindley
Apr 25, 2006 (7:41 am)
I live in the Houston,TX area. I have called around to all the dealers and most have only 3-4 left of the 2006 ES 330 models. They are all configured the same, basic package, no Navs left, with a MSRP of $35,279. I found one dealer that was willing to quote $31,800 over the phone, but my guess is the others would be willing to deal also. Question is should I get a 2006 model at a good discount or wait and pay sticker on the 2007 model, which would be about $37,500? One internet sales guy told me that I would be better off waiting and getting the 2007 but I wasn't sure about his motives. A $3500 discount seems too good to pass up. What do you think?

Have negotiated for a 2004 with only 22.5K excellent one owner car for $24,000. Does it sound right?

I think a lot depends on how long you plan to keep the car.
 
The biggest "con" of the older model is that it will be out of style sooner, and this includes the NAV. I believe that committing to a vehicle with no NAV for long term ownership may produce regret at some point. NAVs are great and those of us who have them would not want to be without one in the future.
 
Another factor that may impact the decision is gas mileage. A long term purchaser of the ES3XX may wish they had bought a vehicle with better gas mileage.
 
If it were I making the decision, and if I ruled out the desire for a car like the Prius on the future, I'd go with the 2007. Of course this assumes that the NAV is more advanced on the 2007 than on the 2006. In your case, you can't get a NAV at all on a 2006, so that would be a no-brainer to me.
