Out of pocket matters a lot more than invoice. You are lucky in that you have numerous, large dealers in the so cal area. My advice would be to forget about invoice and go dealer hopping from Orange County to Riverside and San Bernardino, Ventura to San Diego, until you find the best out-of-pocket deal for yourself. Invoice might matter a lot more (as a basis of price assessment) if you lived in Detroit, Michigan where you have limited ability to dealer hop for a good deal. |

| would inflate invoice prices of any car. Those are public info on any <auto>.com. | |

Dealer offer: 2004 ES 330 Opt 1 Premium, HID, Wood, etc. $35,170 MSRP $33,370 Sale Opt 2 Nav, ML, etc. (Everything but Gold Package and AVS) $37,930 MSRP $35,910 Sale Comments? |

| My uncle's 2002 ES300 with every bell and whistle costs $38789. So I would say Opt 2 sounds good. | |

If you live where there is snow or rain storms, make sure you get the VSC/Traction control option. Not sure if that is a stand alone option on the '04, but it was on the '03ES. It's an important safety feature and saved my "b..." once. |

Hi, My wife and I are seriously considering the ES330: Would like to get the following Options Package: Navigation System/Mark Levinson® Audio Package with Additional Options $5,390.00 - Navigation System/Mark Levinson® Audio Package - High-Intensity Discharge Headlamps (HID) with Rain Sensing Wipers - Heated Front Seats - Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) - Wood and Leather Steering Wheel - All-Season Tires - Power Rear Sun Shade MSRP from the lexus.com = $37,740.00 Edmonds TMV = $36,308 I just emailed back a dealer letting him know essentially that we are looking for an offer below 36k (this would include destination, processing, handling). Am I on drugs? Or would this be a good price for the dealer? I am trying to gauge if I am realistic or not negotiating all-that-well. Thanks in advance for any advice/input, Jason |

starrin/Jason - see post #210. My Opt2 looks like what you want and the offer was $35,910 incl dest fee. I think it's a fair price and a win-win. BUT it's all relative to what you can get. Talk to 3 dealers in your area and pick the best price and package. Toydriver - thanks for the tip on the VSC. It's included in my Opt2. |

| asked about any experiences any of you have had in purchasing the Lexus 7yr/100,000 warranty. I did not get any responses, so I thought I would try again. Has anyone had any luck getting dealers to discount the warranty? My dealer wants $1,500. How does that sound? | |
| I just finalized a deal on the ES330 (premium with HID, heated seats, wood and leather, back window shade, chrome wheels, and tinting) for $31,500. This price does not include taxes or registration. | |
