#212 of 1357 gekko2 re: dealer offer by toydriver Dec 08, 2003 (6:03 pm)
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.
#213 of 1357 Could Use your Help:-) by starrin Dec 08, 2003 (6:18 pm)
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.

Thanks gekko -- I think this is the price I will shop around with. Essentially I am taking the approach of:   "Do not even invite me over to the dealership unless the price is sub 36k" Essentially the budget just will not allow any fluctuation.   Thanks!
#219 of 1357 too high...starrin by luego Dec 09, 2003 (5:19 pm)
$36K is quite high for the car you want even with all those options. Edmund's TMV is a bit inflated (if you're in SoCal). Carsdirect price is more the real-world price at the tune of $34.2 for the car and options you want. You can actually go lower than this. Elderkong certainly got the best deal I have heard of in quite a while.

Good deal appears to be MSRP minus $2,000.   Great deal appears to be MSRP minus $2,500.
