| panther - sounds like a fair deal to me. My only advice is for you to seriously consider getting the NAV. | |

all charges BEFORE license and/or taxes, i.e. fees imposed by the government should not be included. All dealer fees should be included in your quote and compared to MSRP. Eliminating taxes and license allows more normalization across regions. MSRP for the comparable options are the same regardless of location of the dealership that sells the car. |

| The MSRP for the ES330 was 34,744 -- offered at 32,307. | |

I learned a lot from this board before buying mine. Thanks. Bought my Mistic Gold ES330 on 12/27/03 from Longo in LA for $30700 (%88.39 of MSRP $34734) with the following options. - Premium 6-Disc In-Dash CD Auto Changer - High-Intensity Discharge Headlamps (HID) with rain Sensing Wipers - Heated Front Seats - Wood and Leather Steering Wheel - Power Rear Sun Shade - Cargo Net - Trunk Mat - Wheel Locks Transaction went very smooth. Got the price over the phone and picked up the car the same day. -James |

Did the price of $30,700 include the destination charge? I realize that tax, doc fees, and title vary from state to state but the dest charge remains constant. Thanks, Chuck |

I was quoted an ES 330 with following options (I believe) Nav w ML (NL) VSC (VV) Wood trim (WU) rear shade (HN) All season tire (FT) Heated front seats (HH) High intensity lamp (HL) MSRP 37934 including dest fee The documentaion fee( license, transfer of title and dealer charge) varied from $160 to $283 in MA. One dealer was nice to give me a price over the phone 34250 (90.3%) little far from town, then I got an internet quote from another dealer, hopefully with the same options for 33,985 (89.5%). The invoice price with the options comes to be 33237 according to KBB.COM. I found somewhere that the Lexus dealers get a holdback of 2% (about $635 of MSRP before dest fee) and ad fee of $200. Is Lexus trying to dispose the cars? Are they giving any incentives to dealers so the price may go even below the invoice? Any ideas? Should I just get it now? Thanks |

The members of AAA may have seen a list of the dealers where according to the ad is person who will give a quote to AAA members hassle free. I called a dealer in RI (Inskip Lexus, only one listed in southern New ENgland). However, they wanted me to go to dealership and then they said that they will need a copy of my AAA card. Even after I gave my card number they did not even give me a quote. Anyone has any experience? |
