Replying to: jez1 (Jan 24, 2007 3:11 pm) I don't want to knock Lindsay Lexus on the whole, it may have just been the individual sales person that was poor. So give them a shot and see what they can do for you. But if you want my advice, contact multiple dealers and get multiple quotes on the same model and package. |

Replying to: jez1 (Jan 24, 2007 3:11 pm) Once i knew from Rockville1 that i could play at about 1,000 over invoice at Towson, i shopped same deal w salesman at Lindsay who did test drive. on phone, i offered him 1,250 over invoice, and his comment is 'we are close' however he never would commit to firm price and i had feeling he had other tricks in mind once he had me in his space at showroom. turned out he didnt have color i wanted anyway, so i just did the Towson deal, and no regrets. good luck |

Replying to: rockville1 (Jan 26, 2007 7:37 am) You guys being outside of Towson demographic area, maybe Towson could give you a lower price since they know price is the ONLY factor when competing with your nearby competiitions. I should have took my NJ price back to Towson but I was so turn off in the negoiation of a 2006 then, there's no way in my thinking they could even lower that much for a 2007.

Replying to: ravlegend (Feb 05, 2007 9:06 am) My guess is that inventory is higher now as the 2007s aren't selling nearly as fast as the 2006s (lots of pre-orders for the '06s as the hybrids were new then). |

With only one Lexus dealer in Kansas City, I went in figuring that they would hold out for MSRP on a 400h. The Edmund's data was very helpful. They were reluctant to give me their invoice amount, but they opened up when I showed them my Edmund's output. They also knew that I am a road warrior and could easily purchase a vehicle in a more competitive market. I had reviewed the messages on this forum, and that gave me a feel for a reasonable settlement. I offered $1250 over invoice, and they took it while insisting on a $299 administrative fee. I should have started with $1000 over invoice and then settled for $1250, but I caved and bought a fully loaded 400h for 46K. It is a very impressive vehicle. |

All of you guys/gals are great help. Thank you so much! It sounds like Towson may be a winner. I have gotten quotes either over the phone for a 350 (I can't justify paying the extra $$ for the hybrid). Lindsey quoted me $45,600, but told me they could take at least a couple grand off if not more since they want to move them. Pohanka said they have no 2007's, but would quote under $45,000 for a 2008, with navigation. I've test driven the vehicle (although need to see how it works with a baby car seat, meaning is it easy to get in and out of ,so if any of you know from experience how it works let me know). What do you all recommend as a next approach? I hate the games dealers can play. Also, do dealers give better deals if you offer to pay cash, vs. financing? Thanks

It will not make any difference in the price if you finance or pay cash. The dealership gets 100% of their money up front no matter which way you purchase. If you end up going to Towson, feel free to use me as your referral! I wouldn't object.  Brian Pike
