Posted this on another forum and hope you can help me...... Slightly OT and not sure if this is the right forum but appreciate your replies. Been looking at the LS430 and ES330(2004) and made up my mind that couldn't justify the huge difference in price between the two, even though the LS430 is quite substantial. Anyway..keeping in mind what you have been saying about the 2005 about to hit the showrooms(and whether I should wait) and the Salesman has virtually told me that he wants to make this sale by the end of this month..here is what he is offering. He has a Gold coloured 2004 ES330.(which comes with the following) MSRP----- 31725.00 Heated front seats.........440.00 HID 640.00 Power Rear Shade 210.00 Nav system package with in-dash CD player and 6 Disc CD player 2220.00 Wood/leather Steering wheel and shift nob 330.00 Cargo net 59.00 Trunk Mat 69.00 Wheel Locks 66.00 $35759.00 Delivery fee 625.00 Total $36384.00 The salesman then tells me that this particular car comes with Exotic Wood trim which adds another $895.00 for a total $37279.00.(can't seem to find this package announced anywhere, even on Lexus's website, thought it came with this wood??) Provided that I take the car by the end of this month he will deduct $2000.00 and give me $1000.00 for my 92 Lincoln(which is all it's worth, unless I sell privately for perhaps $500,00 to 1K more) So we now come to $34279.00 Fees and Service Inspection, cleaning etc (BS or normal?) 499.50 Waste tire and lead acid 8.50 Sales Tax(6% in Florida) 2087.22 Tag and Title 150.00 Grand Total $37024.22 So..is this a good deal?(keeping in mind that Naples FL. appears to get much higher prices than elsewhere)...I thought around $35,000 might be nearer, or am I wrong........or should I just wait for the 2005 version? Sorry for the long post......Bran. |

| After driving Infiniti I35, ES330, and X3 we have decided to go with ES330. Interested in finding the bottomline price for ES330 so that I can go to the dealership with more accurate data. | |

Thanks for this board. It helped me. Here's my input. Year: 2004 MSRP: $33924 Options: PM, HN, Sportdesign edition, WL, LM, GN Invoice: $29975 (NADA new car guide) Paid: $29857 OTD: $31984 (Tax, 6.25%, TTL, doc fee, Inv Tax) Financing: 2.9% , 60 months, Lexus Finance Date bought: 7/31/2004 (might have had something to do with the price) Did I get a good deal? I got one that I am very happy with. The dealer was Sterling McCall. I had the most wonderful buying experience with them. All negotiations thru' internet. Went to the dealer to complete formalities. The car is great. I went into this after reading extensively about the transmission and test driing it myself. |

Congratulations on the new car! I think you got a great price. Anytime you can get a new car for dealer invoice is a great deal. Rebates are an exception to this but there are no current rebates on the ES330. By the way, how much was the DOC fee?

Replying to: fredvh (Aug 01, 2004 10:59 am) Thanks. The doc fee was $50. I believe it is capped at $50 by law in TX (it says that "A documentary fee may not exceed $50 for a motor vehicle contract ...") in the sale contract. AV |

Has anyone purchased a Lexus ES330 or any Lexus model through the COSTCO Auto Program? If so, do you think that you received a good deal or do you think you could have done better with your own negotiations?

Replying to: philly2 (Aug 04, 2004 7:22 am) I am planning to negotiate to get close/less than invoice since 2005 models have started to arrive.
