Replying to: sbr4 (Nov 10, 2005 11:22 am) IF you are in NJ... NOTE: Ray Catena Lexus dealer in Oakhurst gave me a quote OVER THE PHONE with NO hassles. And it was SOLID. It helped me negotiate my deal with Warnock. I actually got a BETTER deal from Catena. Same deal as above, but $620/month. It was offered to me AFTER I had given my word to Warnock that it was a deal. I had spent enough time with the salesman at Warnock and I felt he had done his work well, and that is where I would be bringing the car for service, so I felt the right thing to do was lease through Warnock. I would not hesitate to call Catena and work out the best deal though. There first quote was the same set up as above, but at $688 through Hana Financing, if I recall correctly. I decided I felt more comfortable with the Lexus financing. Hope this helps. Steve |

I just bought 2006 GS300 AWD with following options: Mark Levinson/Nav. Sunroof Rain-sensing wiper Park assist Ventilated seats rear spoiler preferred accessory group MSRP $52,654 Invoice $45,926 Price paid: $46,800 which is $874 over invoice. So, yeah, you can get good deals on this car. Very happy with the car. Used to drive BMW 330Ci and ML320 (still have them). All three cars are very different cars, so you can't compare them simply. But, feature, interior, smooth ride, quietness, and ergonomics of Lexus is just incredible. I had reliability issues with all the Mercedes that I've owned in the past, so I barely looked at them this time around. I had excellent experience with BMW, so I extensively test drove 530 before settling on GS. I borrowed 530 for couple days, so I can honestly compare. I also looked carefully into Audi A6, but found the car to be totally outmatched by 530 and GS. 530 vs. GS300 530: Pros- Better handling (wider turning radius than GS though) More low grunt power (but less power once RPM's near 3000) Teutonic feeling interior (which I like) Looks better than GS from the front. Cons- Noisy compared to GS Less refined ride than GS average ergonomics compared to lexus's industry leading design, Far less features than GS. Looks worse than GS from the back, I already have 330Ci which has better handling and better power-to-weight ratio. GS had AWD It was pretty easy decision for me to chose GS, but if extra handling is very important, the decision might be little more difficult for you. I'm just so happy with my decision. But most pleasant surprise for me was the dealer experience. Lexus salesman was just superb compared to Acura (absolutely worst, no class, acts like if they're selling Civic to college kids), Audi (Salesman was very nice, but tried to play bait and switch on me), BMW salesman was very nice, reasonable, and hasslefree, but Lexus was just absolutely perfect. The guy really went the extra mile to take care of me. He showered me with extra trinkets, and went over everything with me after the purchase. He even printed the list of bluetooth phones that work the best with GS, and e-mailed me to make sure I didn't have any questions. That personal experience combined with the car itself, made this purchase the best car buying experience in my book.
