Replying to: bikegal (Jul 15, 2005 4:08 pm) Interesting---when I was shopping for a new car for the wife last October, she had decided on an ES. I was pushing for a TL but it was to be her car so she made the decision. Noted the '05's were here and that a couple of Chgo. suburban dealers had some '04 demos left over. Thought I could save some big cash by getting a demo...WRONG!!! There were 4-5 demos at two different dealers; 3-5,000 miles each, none with nav. or Levinson. I had shopped the suburban dealers for a new '05 and got a couple to go $500 over invoice, about 32k. Thought if I could get an '04 demo for 27k, I'd go that route. Incredible, but the best I could get them to do on an '04 was either 31 or 31.5. I even mentioned to them what I could get an '05 for...made no difference, they were "firm" on their price. " We will have no problem selling them for our price" was their comment. A "no brainer" for sure...for 500 or so, she gets a new '05 vs. a 3-5k mile '04. Needless to say, wifey loves her ES and I gotta admit, it's a great cruiser.

#947 of 1357 what do you think I should do by roachbugg Jul 17, 2005 (5:23 pm)
I live in the Washington DC area, and I am looking at a 05' ES330 w/6500 miles on it. I currently have a car to trade (a Honda w/ 48K miles) I know that I have about 5K in negative equity, but I went to Lexus.com and priced a car (ES330 w/ every option except satellite radio) for 39K. I searched the individual dealer sites, and found a dealer with the car mentioned above for 33,500. If they add my negative equity to the price of the new car- I would pay 38,500. I will pay TTL (2100) out of my own pocket and finance the rest a 5.5% for six years. Does that seem like to much?   any suggestions would be appreciated.   thx.

Just bought a new 05 for 86.7% MSRP. During the paper signing, we were presented with a personal information sharing disclaimer that stated (no choice to opt out!) that our personal information WOULD be shared with various other businesses. Thank goodness we never gave then an email address, so it's only paper we need to recycle. Anyone have this experience too? Does anyone know how much the dealer receives for selling our personal information?

Replying to: es4jb (Jul 16, 2005 8:29 pm) I posted in #943 above and paid $31,445 for ES 330 with the premium package only, so we didn't have HID headlights, Nav, or Mark Levinson. We also didn't have the Chrome wheels. It seems the California folks are getting really great deals on their cars. What's going on in California? They said our price was just above invoice.

Replying to: andy2005 (Jul 21, 2005 2:27 pm) Sorry, we can't do much better than blue book or Edmund's TMV assessment for predicting used vehicles' prices. It is much easier with new cars because there are many more posters purchasing new cars and the quality and mileage variation among new cars is not nearly as great as it is with used cars.   Were I you, I'd use Kelley blue book value or go to the TMV (True Market Vehicle) pages on this site for help here.
#953 of 1357 2005 ES 330 in Colorado by olddave Jul 22, 2005 (8:57 pm)
On April 8, 2005 we purchased a 2005 ES 330 from a Denver metro area dealer. MSRP List was 39,429.00. This was the total price including the "Delivery, processing, and handling fee" on the factory sticker placed on the window. The car has Navigation, Mark Levinson sound, etc. It has almost every option known to man except for SAT radio. Our final negotiated retail price was $34,999.50. This final price included the "Dealer handling fee" of $299.50. Retail price DOES NOT include any taxes, license fees, etc. At the last minute, they tried to charge me for "etched windows" but I offered to kill the deal over that faux paus, and they deleted the charge. We have almost 5000 miles on it now - we just completed a 3900 mile trip to Washington DC and back - it seems like a real nice car.
