#531 of 1357 My New ES 330 by rkurella Jul 01, 2004 (12:11 pm)
Just had my ES 330 delivered to my office (TX) Silver/Charcoal leather ND Package (Nav but no Mark Levinson Audio) 32500 (MSRP 36,384, Invoice 32427 I was told) + 1100 in Excise, 200 in Lic and 80 in Inventory Tax. 33836 in all. And, never had to leave my office..   Drives great very smooth. Impressive Navi system and an extremely quiet ride, unique to Lexus IMO.   This forum and the people who contribute to this forum are just great. I feel that I got a good deal and a lot of credit goes to the contributors. Thanks.   I read the Transmission issues, but I feel that there are a lot of car enthusiasts who feel that their cars are their best buddies and hear every noise and care for every scratch. However, there are this vast majority of people who enjoy their cars as a mode of transportation and take pride in the kid of comfort the car has to offer and ignore or willing to ignore (minor) noises and a little occasional jerk here and there. I fall into the second category.   I also have a Mercedes, that does this occasionally at a stop light and some times while accelerating. But I ignore it. I think it is certainly a matter of life style in most cases as long it is not a major issue or happens all the time. That doesn't mean I don't have a lot of respect for all those who are mechanically educated and experienced and want their cars to perform to their expectations. Just a thought since, I haven't come across an issue where the Transmission was not performing the way it is designed for. But, from some of the posts it appeared that there indeed was a major problem.   If you feel I may be misinformed, please post what I might be missing. I'd like to be educated and know what to do if in fact I experience the same. Replies to this message: atoews (Jul 02, 2004 5:53 pm)

Replying to: rkurella (Jul 01, 2004 12:11 pm) My advice to you - as long as you are happy as a clam with your transmission, don't go looking for problems. Just enjoy your car.

Replying to: knipster (Jun 25, 2004 5:50 pm) So, did anyone buy an ES330 with Nav from Ray Catena on or before June 30?

The 2005 Windom (the ES 330 in Japan) is up on Toyota's Japanese website. It clearly shows the changes coming to the ES in a few months for 2005. Some quick observations:   1. By the look of the headlights it seems like they may have the swiveling projector beams. 2. More chrome on the grille. 3. Round foglights. 4. Different air intake in lower front bumper. 5. Thin chrome strip above rear license plate. 6. Redesigned taillights (which may be LED, it's hard to tell). 7. Lighter wood with the ivory interior. 8. Steering wheel radio controls.   http://www.toyota.co.jp/Showroom/All_toyota_lineup/Windom/exterio- r/index.html

Was this the Lexus dealer south of town or the one north? Also, what is the Z1 option? Did they still have very many 330's in stock? I live in Ky about an hour from Nashville and am planning to shop the 330's soon.   Thanks Rick Replies to this message: b4cats (Jul 08, 2004 1:22 pm)

Replying to: cpa4u (Jul 08, 2004 11:31 am) CPA4U,    I bought from the dealer southside of town.(Brentwood) The Z1 option includes trunk mat, cargo net, and wheel locks. They have plenty of 330's in stock.

did you have to haggle with them very much to get the final price? I have only had one email exchange with the internet sales mgr, but he wasn't anywhere near that much off MSRP so far.
#539 of 1357 $38 below invoice price for 2004 ES330 by respected_ent Jul 09, 2004 (8:45 am)
I just made a final deal on the phone with a dealership here in TX that will put me $38 below invoice price on a incoming (today at 11am) 2004 Silver/light charcoal ES 330, Premium Pkg. 1, window tinting ($250 value)   MSRP: $33,654 (without the tint) Invoice price: $30,156 (without the tint) final price: $30,118 (with the tint: $30,368) Drive-out price = $32,505.04   I tried to get the $750 cash rebate deal for new college graduate, but since I am not one for the last 2 years, I don't qualify for the program. Anyhow, I think this is a pretty good deal. I should be able to pick up the car this weekend.
