Please refer to #451 which I posted last week. As for the dealer, I purchased from Lexus of Valencia (89.1% of MSRP). However, Lexus of Glendale gave me a better price $200 cheaper (89.0%) but did not have the color I wanted. Have fun shopping. Both dealers are in Southern California.

car seekers - A better strategy... by atoews

..than just logging on to this site and posting your question would be to read all the posts from the past year!!!
 
There is lots of information on the deals folks have received. A car is an expensive purchase. It is worth taking an hour or so to read the posts.
 
In summary, recent purchasers have received 89% of MSRP easily. No negotiation. If you are willing to haggle a little, walk out, say you've heard others are getting better deals, etc. you can get a car for as little as 87 - 88% of MSRP, regardless of whether it has NAV or not.
 
Remember that the percentage of MSRP for comparison's sake includes everything except fees that your local government imposes on the buyer - license and tax.

I just got a qoute for a 2004 ES 330 Sportdesign fully loaded with all the options except the VSC and Trac for $33900. The MSRP is 37554. I was wondering if anyone knows if i can negotiate it lower or is it a good price?

Only one Lexus dealer in the area! by carcar
Apr 25, 2004 (2:21 pm)
I live in an area where the closest dealer is an hour away, the next closest being an hour and 45 minutes away. There are only 3 Lexus dealers in my state of Wisconsin, I believe, and I was wondering how we could get a good deal when it's hard to say to the dealer "we could go over to another dealer and get this car for----" when there really isn't any competition!!!!
 
I'm looking for invoice or only $200-$400 over invoice, how would I achieve that in my situation?

Good luck!

Sarah, is this Ray Catena in NY? If so, I'd like to talk with you personally regarding your experiences with that dealership, who you dealt with, etc. I am planning on test driving this week.

surprised to find my name here,I have not been to this site as often after I got my car, I just happened to surf by to see if I can pick up some good tips.
 
My dealer(Ray Catena) is in Larchmont,Westchester,NY, .the only one in lower westchester. My buying experience with them was very positive, my sales rep. was very professional although he could learn a little more aggresiveness. I was sold on the car after my first test drive,so he didn't have to do much to convince me,I just had to follow up on his offer once to get to my final price. The price part was easy ,it was the performance part that almost changed my mind. Now that I've driven it for almost a month and close to 900 mi,I can confirm the 'lack of pep'in its transmission at the lower gear but the ride and handling are superb. Quite happy so far.
