#344 of 1357 To fangqin - Destination Charge -- by panther11 Jan 22, 2004 (11:07 am)
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

#347 of 1357 my quotes by lubdhak Jan 22, 2004 (9:48 pm)
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
#348 of 1357 Buying through AAA by lubdhak Jan 22, 2004 (9:52 pm)
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?

#350 of 1357 lubhak - I bought my car.. by atoews Jan 25, 2004 (6:41 am)
through Sam's Club, which is similar to the way you are trying to do it.   I had to show up in person before the dealership would give me a quote. My deal was about the same as others who did not go through an external source: (Costco, Sam's Club, AAA CarsDirect, etc).   If I were you, knowing what I know now, I'd go in with an 88% of MSRP and negotiate with that, up to about 90%. I would try a couple of dealerships at the lower end and move up to 90% with them.   However, it sounds like you want no hassle. Your quotes seem right in line with what folks are getting without negotiation. If you really want to avoid hassle, then take the vehicle at the 89% quote.
#351 of 1357 What is the paid price for ES330 with NAV. by sxz Jan 27, 2004 (2:14 pm)
I got quote of ES330 with NAV, premium pack, etc, at approx $37400 (via Costco member ship). Does any one have buying experience with ES330 + Nav recently? What is the true paid price?
#352 of 1357 ES330 Prices in Boston area by md528 Jan 30, 2004 (5:56 pm)
I recently went to a local Lexus dealer and was shown an ES330 with a MSRP of 35,174 (no ML or NAV). When I inquired with the sales manager how much they were willing to dicsount the sticker , he replied "we can take it down hundreds but not thousands". I read postings on this board that people are paying 89% to 90% of sticker price. Why the big discrepancy? That would mean that people are paying approx. $31,600 for a car with a 35,174 sticker. Are the prices I see for other parts of the country and those deals can't be had in the Boston area? Or was the Sales Manager giving me a a line of "BS" Anyone in the Boston area buy a ES330 lately and how much of a discount did you get?

What dealership are you referring to as I have had experience with a couple in Ma?
