Mine is a GS300 AWD, and getting it with ML was no problem. Did you mean with ML but without Nav?
 
One in the US with ML? That can't be right - my dealer showed me the allocation for the Northeast, and there were 60 due just for August, most with ML.

Yeah, they are a bunch of tools. I spoke with about 50 dealerships over the last week and Wilde Lexus of Sarasota has been the best to work with and the absolute best price. Well worth the travel there!! Anyways, got down to the credit check and TransUnion has a mortgage listed as open on a house we sold about 6 months ago - so we show way to much mortgage debt.
 
Opening a dispute tomorrow with them. Wonder how long this will take.

Prices on 430 with Nav by cassiri

Has anyone had experience on pricing for a 430 with nav/ml? I'm curious if the 430 is harder to deal on since there are fewer or if gas prices have the V8's taking a hit.
 
Also are certain colors harder to come by than others?

I live in the midwest & the 3 Lexus dealerships I went to all had difficulty finding any GS300 AWD with ML. I know one dealership was lying cause they just wanted me to take one off the lot (& without taking hardly anything off MRSP!). They say that the ML package is few & far between on the GS300 AWD anyway. I just went ahead & ordered one from the factory exactly the way I wanted. The wait time is killing me though (~ 6 months)!

You may want to expand your search area - six months to get one with ML seems quite excessive to me.

Need some advice by madscientist

Hello, this is my first post here and need some advice on buying the GS300 RWD.
The car is equipped with the Navigation system/mark levinson audio system package with the additional options. One-touch open/close moon-roof, rain-sensing variable intermittent windshield wipers with mist control, headlamp washers, power door locks, adaptive front lighting system, Intuitive parking assist, ventilated front seats, rear spoiler power rear window sunshade, cargo net, trunk mat, wheel looks.
 
The list goes on and on, it is basically the everything package (lol).
 
The MSRP for the car is $50,979 the dealer gave me a price of $46,000 + Tax and DMV fees. Could someone tell me if I can lower that price any? I think it’s a good price, I just don’t want to pay more then I should.
 
Thank you

That's an excellent price. May I ask the location and dealer who gave you that price? Here in Chicago one dealer generously offered me $500 off the sticker price. My guess is you're in California or Florida, where there's genuine price competition.

Thank you for your reply. I live in North Carolina and the dealer is Johnson Lexus of Raleigh. I am also looking at BMW 530xi but they won’t move on price at all.

Just bought a '06 GS300 RWD in Los Angeles. Sticker was $48,379, plus dealer add-on of 750 for satellite radio, making the dealer price $49,129. I paid $43,783 plus tax and license. Car has Nav w/std audio (this audio package is great...hard to justify Levinson unless you are looking to replace your home audio system by parking the car in the living room) w/sirius satalitte radio (sirius has it right, have XM in my GM Trucks and wish now it was sirius all around). Seems the 2006's in LA range in discount between 3,200 and 5,000 depending on dealer.
 
Make sure you shop around. The dealership I bought from is fantastic. Mobile service trucks to service my lexus in my driveway is just one perk offered by the guys who sold me mine, plus loaners at service if you drive in.
 
I have owned a Jaguar, Mercedes Benz and 2 BMW's and the Lexus guys offer dealer service on par with cars that cost twice what I paid for the GS.
 
I'm replacing a BMW 740il which finally died after 198,000 miles. While I was reluctant to switch from BMW, I wanted a smalller luxo car and this one pricewise beat the pants off a 5 series replacement. While the handling of BMW is hard to beat the electonics on the GS are second to none.
 
Also if you are going back and forth between the V6 and V8 I settled on the V6 after I drove both the V6 and V8 from LA to Vegas on separate trips. The V6 performed well, 90 miles an hour in the desert was effortless, and pulling up hills was a snap, so I opted for less gas comsumption and went with the 245 horses that pulled well as a team.
 
This is a great mid price sedan, I just tinted the windows, added 19 in wheels and low profile tires, an invisible 3M bra to the front end and I'm getting positive comments at every turn... even from my status conscience Hollywood pals that feel if its under $90,000 its just not a car.
