If you would rather wait, I think you might want to consider the 07 model when the car will be completely redesigned including an all new 3.5L engine that will pump out nearly 280 Hp. It will most likely be renamed the ES350. The new 05 Avalon is getting this powertrain and it will be out in March 2005.

Good deal? by wco81
Nov 28, 2004 (11:51 am)
My folks got a black 2005 ES330, no NAV, for 34,000 out the door. Putnam Lexus in Redwood City, CA.
 
The sticker was 35,289, which includes HID, heated seats, sunscreen. In other words, the base option package which all of these cars seem to have.
 
By my calculations, that means the price before tax and license would be just around 90% of MSRP.

Isn't $34K OTD about $31K b4 tax and license, in Bay Area? That's better than 90% right?

The next redesign for the ES will be for the 2007 model year. If you guy by past history of the ES3XX, the 2006 model year will bring no changes for the ES3XX.

Road Trip by gbjerke
Nov 29, 2004 (6:27 pm)
I posted a short time ago about our newly purchased ES...that I was in love with the Acura TL but since this was my wife's daily driver I let her choose. To her, it was the ES hands down! My driver is a Vette Z06 so I was more interested in a sportier ride/handling, hence the TL.
Just returned from a 1,300 mile holiday trip and gotta admit the ES was an absolute dream to drive.
Comfort beyond measure and the "hushed" cabin was a total joy. Even the grooved concrete (which is noisier than hell) in Wisconsin was so quiet one could almost take a nap. Virtually ZERO wind noise at 75-80 mph.
Gotta admit, she picked a real winner!

How about this deal? by dwarnacutt
Nov 30, 2004 (4:29 pm)
I made contact with the internet department of the Lexus dealership in Thousand Oaks, CA (near Los Angeles) through Cars direct. Their initial quote is $35,570 plus tax and license fees for a 2005 Lexus 330ES with the following options:
 
Black onyx exterior (Mfr Code E202)
Black leather interior (Mfr Code I21L)
Nav system/ML audio pkg (Mfr Code NL)
(PIO) Wheel locks (Mfr Code WL)
VSC (Mfr Code VV)
(PIO) Gold Package (Mfr Code GP)
Xenon HID Headlights (Mfr Code HL)
Wood Steering Wheel (Mfr Code WU)
Burled Walnut Trim (Mfr Code #BW)
(PIO) Carpet Trunk Mat (Mfr Code LM)
Heated/Cooled Front seats (Mfr Code HH)
All Season Tires/Chrome wheels (Mfr Code FK)
Power Sunshade (Mfr Code HN)
 
The internet sales guy stated the list price with the above options is $39,975 which makes his quoted price 91% of his list.
 
Please provide your comments - is this a good deal?
 
Thanks to all.

Oops - I goofed!!
 
The selling price as quoted by the internet department at Lexus of Thousand Oaks is $35,570 plus tax and license fees and the list price should be $39,064. That make the offer 91% of list.
 
This was the initial offer - I have not started negotiating yet. Seems to me that some have been getting between 87-90% of list, and we are at the end of the year.
 
Please share your thoughts about this offer. Thanks.

How does this lease price sound??? by billod
Nov 30, 2004 (6:06 pm)
2005 ES 330 MSRP=$35709. 36 month lease, no money down, 15k miles per year. Monthly rate includung 6% Connecticut sales taxes & inception fees (bank acquasition fee of $600 + $299 dealer conveyance fee rolled into lease payment), is $457.77. Thus the lease price WITHOUT taxes and WITHOUT the inception fees rolled into the monthly payment is about $405 per month. Sounded good to me. Any thoughts or comments?? Thanks,
Bill

wc081 - your price appears to be well below 90%, actually looks to be about 88.5% for 34K flat in California with tax and license......that would be a great deal on a 2005! Congrats to your folks....

I'm looking for a 2005 ES330 in LI area and the lowest quote I got so far is exactly the same as yours $405/mo w/ the same lease terms. I haven't been able to get better than that, so we'll probably complete the transation later this wk. Let me know if you're able to do better and with which dealer.
 
Can't wait to get the new car.
