#2 of 722 2006 GS300 Prices Paid in So Cal by dpj Apr 18, 2005 (10:19 am)
I am hoping there are some recent purchase or lease quotes in the Southern CA area for the GS300 with ML/Nav, etc. (the $50,209 MSRP) package. The best I have seen was $47,995 or $666 + tax and licensing with 0.0017 lease factor, $21,589 residual, $2,000 drive off, 15,000 miles/year and 48 months.   Thanks!

Recent purchase quotes I received in the Atlanta area for the GS300 Level 2 package with ML/NAV were $50,409.00. Needless to say I could not get any dealerships to go lower than MSRP in the Atlanta area. I then went to Automotive Experts of Stuart in Florida and received a purchase quote of $2500.00 off MSRP plus satellite radio install. They then delivered the vehicle to my residence for an additional $300.00. Hope this helps someone!   2006 GS300 Level 2 ML/NAV Mercury Metallic/black interior Replies to this message: bartalk3 (Apr 18, 2005 9:01 pm) cmd1 (Apr 19, 2005 4:10 am) bartalk3 (Apr 19, 2005 9:22 am)

Replying to: cmd1 (Apr 18, 2005 7:54 pm) Congratulations, but weren't there some risks with that purchase? What if the car was not equipped as you ordered, or a different color, or had several hundred miles on it, or damaged, etc? What protections do you have?

Replying to: bartalk3 (Apr 18, 2005 9:01 pm) A good friend who has purchased a couple of vehicles from this dealer recommended them to me. The individual I dealt with took my order with the specifications I wanted. In fact, once I placed my order with him and negotiated the price he was able to tell me the date the specified vehicle would arrived at the Jacksonville Port and when the vehicle would be ready for delivery. They guaranteed that the vehicle I ordered would be the vehicle I received. Of course I had the option of taking a flight to West Palm from Atlanta to inspect the vehicle before pickup but I opted to have the vehicle shipped. When the transport company brought the vehicle to my home I inspected the vehicle for damage and miles before I signed any paperwork. When I took possession of vehicle it had less than 35 miles on it. Total time between contacting this dealer and receipt of vehicle 10 days. Replies to this message: bartalk3 (Apr 19, 2005 9:22 am)

Replying to: cmd1 (Apr 19, 2005 4:10 am) Sounds good. Happy ending. They paid for shipping, I assume.   How do you like the car, by the way? I assume it's RWD.

Replying to: kirstie_h (Apr 18, 2005 7:33 am) I haven't purchased my 2006 GS300 RWD yet, but the car I am considering is fully loaded, I went through the internet asking for quotes and then e-mailed the lowest quoting dealer to refine and clarify options, etc. I then ran my own calculations using a spreadsheet program I got on carbuyingtips.com which you can download for free (Copy the following then paste): http://www.carbuyingtips.com/car4.htm?x=0kqe_q_ufonxw1&y=Wed%252525252525252520Apr%2525252- 5252525252027%25252525252525252021%25252525252525253A41%25252525252525253A21%2525252525252- 525202005   You can see why!!! Then I contacted the dealer and re negotiated for a better deal over the phony. Where you buy a car is not as important as how you buy a car. Do your homework, know their lingo, talk with authority, and don't let them try and snow you with fuzzy math, have a target price in mind (determined from the speadsheet), and be firm on price and flexible on options. Don't think invoice, think dealers cost!!!! There is a big difference!!! dealers cost = INVOICE minus the following [ 0.02 (MSRP) + (FACTORY INCENTIVES) + (FLOORPLAN FEES)] . All dealerships can make a profit on as little as 3% above their dealer cost. Use Kelly Blue Book to establish invoice and MSRP values. The free speadsheet I talked about will do all the calculations for you. My final price was $5000+ dollars under MSRP!!!!!! DONT' ASK ME TO TELL YOU WHO I CONTACTED. Just read what's on the internet page I gave you and GOOD LUCK.
