Arizona Dealers by 1951tarheel
Feb 20, 2005 (3:12 pm)
I would like to read about dealers in Arizona. I live in Tucson and have not seen any information from anyone buying an 05 ES 330 from an AZ dealer.
 
Of course, I did not go back to the beginning of this forum but have be monitoring for several months now.
 
Anyone buying cars in AZ?

Made a deal today for 2005 ES 330 by ftl2kyle

This board provides me a very useful price reference . The deal I made is for ES330 with HID and additional options. It pretty much has those standard stuff except for NAV/ML/rear sunshade. It is black with cashmere leather. MSRP is 35709, paid price 30750 with a trade-in that has blue book value of about $1500. It took about one hour to make the deal, which is an all cash deal. I probably could get $500 better, but didn't want to go through the hassle. It is a Boston area dealer and the salesperson was nice and not pushy.

The only way that works is to either call the dealership or actually walk down to the lot and see what they've got.

no one can do that...even other dealers don't know everything at one another's lots. They hide it!

Current best price for ES 330 by arnold2
Feb 27, 2005 (3:09 pm)
I have given up on buying a used Lexus because the resale price seems to be so high. I am now in the final stages of shopping for a new 2005 ES 330 with a MSRP of $35,709 (has everything but the navigation equipment.) The dealer has already come down to 32,500. Can anyone give me a sense for how much further I can push this? Thanks.

Resale does seem to be outrageously high. The local Lexus dealer when I went to test drive the ES330 offered me a CPO ES330 for $28,000. Thats a lotta money to spend on a used car, in my opinion.

Arnold--
I went thru the same thing last November. The '05's had hit the ground and quite a few Chicago suburban dealers had '04 demos for sale. 3,500-5,000 miles on them. Thought I could save some big $$$ getting a demo. The BEST price I got was for the 5k mileage one and that was 32,000! I told the salesman that I had a figure of 32,176 for a NEW '05. He went to the sales manager and they both came back....32,000! So, for $176 I got an '05 with 9 miles on the odo.
Mine had a sticker of 35,419 so the price quote you have looks pretty fine to me.

I, too, was in the same boat. I even looked at a 2004 ES with 3,500 miles at Carmax. They wanted $31,000! For another $1,000, I got my 2005 ES from the Lexus dealership.
 
It sounds like you got a better deal than I since you have everything except the navi. I assume you have the upgraded sound system?
 
My price went from $35,200 to $32,000 in December.
