#485 of 1357 Bank Fee for New York Through Lexus by jdimaria May 19, 2004 (5:42 am)
I am new to this forum, just trying to get some info. My father who currently owns a 2001 ES300 (the lease is ready to expire) would like to lease a 2004 ES330. However when he went to a dealer to make the deal with them although the monthly payment seemed OK the out of pocket fees seemed quite high. Around $2100. When my father question this the sales rep stated that this was because of the Bank Fee which through Lexus is $1200 for people who live in NY. Is this true or is this just a way for the dealer to make extra money off my father? Anyone lease recently in NY through Lexus? Replies to this message: davidz (May 19, 2004 3:02 pm)

Replying to: searchengine (May 18, 2004 11:53 am) You're correct. I had a bad number in my spreadsheet. Thanks for helping me catch it!   I get an invoice price of $33,717, but that's a lot closer to you number than to my original number.
#488 of 1357 February 2005 by carcar May 22, 2004 (1:29 pm)
Hello everyone! We're going to be in the market for a new Lexus in February/March of '05. I was wondering, that, since there would still be 2004s remaining on dealers' lots during that time, would it be unheard of to be asking for 81% of MSRP? I'm not sure on how long Lexus dealers keep vehicles on their lot, but would they go for that price during that time? The vehicle we're considering is this: 2004 Lexus ES330  No color preference  NAV/Mark Lev. System  HIDs  Heated seats  Power Rear Sunshade   The MSRP on that is $37,760 (including dest), and I'm looking for it under or at $30,000. So 81% is $30,586, stretching the budget. That's a $7000 discount on the dealer's part, so that's why I'm wondering if it's realistic to pay that for a 2004 Lexus in 2005.   Any input is much appreciated.

Replying to: carcar (May 22, 2004 1:29 pm) The price is realistic ... for a demo with 5k to 7k miles
#490 of 1357 Great! by carcar May 22, 2004 (6:56 pm)
kennyg5, I'm open to purchasing a demo from a dealer. Thanks for the response. But do dealers still have 2004 demos during 2005?
#491 of 1357 ES 330 ND/NL in TX/OK by rkurella May 26, 2004 (12:53 pm)
I got a quote for 32,900 for ND package. MSRP 36,384 (90.4%) via e-mail in TX. I saw lower %s as low as 87-88% in townhall. Any one around TX/OK have any experiences with lower than 90%?   Thanks to you all for your time and expertise.
#492 of 1357 Getting price quotes over Internet or phone by menhir May 31, 2004 (4:00 pm)
New to the forum. Would like to hear from people who got bids/negotiated mainly via internet or phone. Do you simply e-mail dealers and ask for quotes or do you give them a price? Also, any experiences with Pohanka or other Lexus dealers in the DC Metro area (N Virginia or Maryland)? Looking to buy with Nav and power rear shade -- MSRP 34780 including destination charge. Are folks in DC area getting 88% of MSRP as some elsewhere seem to have received? Thanks in advance. Replies to this message: wjl (Jun 01, 2004 6:36 am) menhir (Jun 01, 2004 4:48 pm)
#493 of 1357 I paid 1800 above invoice by chinoloco Jun 01, 2004 (12:53 am)
Reading this forum kinda sucks for me. I really wanted the graphite ES330 Sport Edition. Since only one dealer around had that color with the ML audio and the Nav system I paid 1800 over invoice. Oh well, I love the color and the options, and I guess when you are picky, you have to pay.

Replying to: menhir (May 31, 2004 4:00 pm) I also live in the N VA area, and have been working with Pohanka. Looking to purchase in about two months. There are a number of ways of getting the quote.... AAA, United Buying Service (if you belong to a credit union), etc. I emailed the dealership, told them what I was looking for, and when I would be purchasing. I also asked that I only be contacted via email. After a little bit of negotiations via I email, I will then pick the dealer with the best price, and perhaps try to negotiated just a little bit more. Did this with an Ford F-150 a couple of years ago. Very easy. Right now the best price I've gotten is at 90% of MSRP (didn't want the NAV or Mark, most of the other options) from Lexus of Silverspring. But all dealerships are willing to match, and I've just started my search. Replies to this message: menhir (Jun 01, 2004 4:48 pm)
