#473 of 1357 Re: davidz - Where does one get the invoice? [davidz #472] by atoews May 16, 2004 (5:15 pm)
Replying to: davidz (May 16, 2004 4:39 pm) Is the invoice of the base car, without options, also 80%?   Because no one has posted CLOSE to 80% MSRP on their deal on this site.

If CarsDirect can be believed, they offer a new ES330 in Los Angeles, CA (91311 zipcode) at $200 under invoice.

Replying to: atoews (May 16, 2004 5:15 pm) MSRP w/o options is $31,725 plus a $625 destination fee for a total of $32,350. Invoice including destination is $28,755 or 88.9% of MSRP. The more options you add, the lower the invoice price is as a % of MSRP. That's why invoice price is a better reference than % of MSRP. However, % of MSRP is easier to figure.   All this stuff is on the web. I suggest you do the homework yourself.

#476 of 1357 ES 330 in Los Angeles by harry90066 May 16, 2004 (10:04 pm)
Bought one yesterday including: - Premium 6-Disc In-Dash CD Auto Changer   - High-Intensity Discharge Head lamps (HID) with Rain Sensing Wipers   - Heated Front Seats   - Wood and Leather Steering Wheel   - Power Rear Sun Shade   - Cargo Net   - Trunk Mat   - Wheel Locks   Paid 89.5 of MSRP which is maybe $300 more than the best price I saw posted but I got the color I wanted and I don't think it's worth the hassle to visit several dealers to save another $100. It was the best buying experience I ever had, told the fleet sales manager that I plan to buy if he offers me what I want below 90% of MSRP. No hidden costs, no fees, just sales tax and registration.   Took the car for a ride today, best car I have ever owned. No engine or wind noise, great sound system and even it's considered a entry luxury car it doesn't get much better than that. My choice was between the ES330 and Daimler CLK320. Glad I went for the Lexus. Thanks to the board for posting all your buying experiences, it was a great help for me.

Replying to: mikedha (Apr 01, 2004 6:57 am) I am interested in a similar vehicle and am willing to travel.   What dealer did you go to? Thanks for the help.

Replying to: davidz (May 16, 2004 6:12 pm) Thanks for educating me.   I am curious as to what the invoice represents. It seems as though it would represent what the dealer pays the manufacturer. However, I heard somewhere that is not the case.   I am not even sure that invoice is a constant. It seems that only if the invoice is set by the manufacturer, would it be useful. Otherwise, it could vary by source. I don't know. Replies to this message: davidz (May 18, 2004 2:08 am) igiban (May 18, 2004 10:28 am) davidz (May 18, 2004 6:16 pm)

Replying to: atoews (May 17, 2004 4:59 pm) Invoice is set by the manufacturer and is consistent. Check around the web and you'll see how consistent it is.   Dealer pays invoice minus 2% of MSRP.

Replying to: davidz (May 18, 2004 2:08 am) Anyone knows if that 2% holdback is 'refunded' from Lexus to dealers after a car is sold to a comsumer, or it was sold to dealers with invoice-2%msrp to begin with? Replies to this message: davidz (May 18, 2004 6:16 pm)
#481 of 1357 Re: Attention, Southern California Shoppers [davidz #470] by searchengine May 18, 2004 (11:53 am)
Replying to: davidz (May 16, 2004 8:26 am) MSRP of $38,554 yields an invoice of $33,733 according to Kelly (www.kbb.com). So $33,999 paid is $266 over invoice. Probably could get down to invoice or below as '05 models draw near, but $266 is worth the price for a transaction with few hassles. Depends on one's time/inclination to haggle.
