The best quote I got was from Ray Catena in Westchester, NY. I haven't gone to any dealers besides the one dealer where I test drove the car as I've been getting quotes via email.
 
I hope Ray Catena is a good, honest dealer.

Is it possible to purchase an ES without the 17" tires? It seems like they all come with packages that have the 17" tires.

This site gave me great information on figuring out how much I should pay for a new car. The 90% of MSRP is a great rule of thumb!
 
I just bought a 2005 ES 330 and I'm ecstatic with it. I was looking for Navigation System, Smooth Ride, HID all in a nice package. Looked around a long time, sat in a Honda Accord, loved it, but hated it after the first 15 seconds of my test drive, extremely rough!
 
Still a little disappointed with the ES ride, for some reason, my Taurus SE (117k miles) seems to give me a smoother ride. But I've heard that the variable suspension on the ES has more problems over time than it's worth.
 
Now for the good stuff...
Loaded Option...Navigation System, Mark Levinson, 17" all season tires, heated and ventilated seats, HID, Power Sunshade, VSC, TC and Brake Assist.
 
MSRP: 38469
Got it down to: 35000
Qualified for a new grad discount: -750
Paid: 34,250!
 
Great Service from Lexus of Watertown, MA.

Purchased mine with 16" wheels because I value better and quieter ride more then the slightly improved handling the 17" tires provide. Dealer changed wheels for me. Ask your dealer, I bet he will do the same for you. No charge and deducted the cost of the 17" wheels ($64 cost). Incidentally, the change will not affect the drivability in any way as the 16" tires aspect ratio is higher, ergo, the diameter is essentially the same. Good luck.

Do you mean the ONLY difference between the ES with 16" wheels and 17" wheels is the rim and the tire size? There is no difference with the brakes, discs, etc? What alloy wheels do you get then? ( the same alloy wheels as the 2004 ES)?

Hi fredvh - it's Lexus' December-to-Remember sales event. They are promoting it heavily through television advertising. Other members have been discussing it and asking questions in our Lease Questions and Rebates, Incentives & APRs discussions.

If you opt for the 16" wheels on the 2005 ES330, they are the same wheels as those on the 2004 ES330. Also, the only change is the wheels/tires if you get the 17" wheel option in 2005. Brakes & suspension tuning remain the same.

DECEMBER TO REMEMBER PRICES by bikegal
Dec 08, 2004 (8:01 pm)
Hi,
 
Is $32,500 good for a 2005 es 330? Has everything but the navigation/ml and chrome wheels, and vsc.
 
Am in Virginia, where it seems hard to beat this price.

You can look at earlier posts to see the price ranges - from reading these posts I have found that the good deals are in the 87-91% of MSRP price range.
 
I am in the process of buying in Southern California with your options plus the chrome wheels. Will post my deal when it is complete.
 
Good luck to you.
