I'm in the SF Bay Area. Have looked at several dealerships and can get 5% over invoice with no problem for either the Premium or Premium Plus package (the two that I'm considering).
Has anyone come across a deal better than that? Thanks.

I have been shopping or lurking for an es350 for sometime now. I have been monitoring the prices for the Es350 for several months now. I probably know the market better than the lexus sales people. Well, when I read your posting about Mission Viejo I was totally shocked. Although, I haven't purchased my car yet, I have called them several times on different telephones (cell,home,work and other) and they have always quoted me the rock bottom prices, posted here. They have also always returned my phone calls. My emails did go without a response, but hey noone is perfect. The prices quoted to me over the phone were way below Longos and Cerritos. The other dealers when I told them about the Mission Viejo prices just told me go for it, we can't match them. At Cerritos, when I spoke to the salesperson last Memorial weekend he assured me I was part of the "Cerritos family" as I had purchased my previous car from them. When I visited them again after the saleperson called, I asked them to match the Mission Viejo prices and they declined to do so. They would not even make a counter offer for me. Basically, just shined me on. And don't forget, this is what they "do" for "ex-customers/family". Needless, to say I am very upset with them after being told we were family and then turned around and not even match prices or counter. So, even though I have not purchased a car yet, I have been on many lots searching for my ES350. Lets give Mission Viejo the kudos it deserves for offering the best prices in the area.

I can't speak about Cerritos, but I bought 2 cars in the last week from Tustin (which were both delivered to me).
I'm all about customer service. If you don't return my calls or emails, you don't get my business. I still to this day have not received and response back from Mission Viejo. I receive better service at the fast food line at McDonalds.
I agree with you, they do quote rock bottom prices. But if you don't get the service that is necessary to win over your business, why go there.

Hi everybody! i just bought my es350 on July 4th. The car comes with everything: premium pck., HiD, power shade...you name it. One optional feather is CHROME RIMS. The Msrp is 37.9k. The sale person gave me 2000 total off sticker price. The driveout price is 40.1k. What do you guys think of the deal? i really the car, but when re-assess the deal, i think it is a bit high. Please advise. thanks

I'm sorry but your figures do not make sense. If the MSRP is 37.9k then it should sell for 37.9k or less. Your quote of "driveout price is 40.1k" is not realistic as it implies you are paying a $2k premium.

Actually, now that I think about it my reply to your post was not entirely correct. If you got the car for $2000 total off sticker (msrp) then that makes it 35.9k. Your driveout price includes taxes and such but that would make your other fees/taxes at over $4k. Something still sounds incorrect. Are you sure 37.9k was not your selling price and 39.9 the msrp?

Hi,
I live in SF Bay too. Can you mention a few dealer name that gives you that price? Do you through a special channel to get that or just get the quote from edmunds ?
thanks,

The dealers in Serramonte and Pleasanton. Concord Lexus is closest to where I live so when and if I get ready to buy, I will press them on the $ over invoice question. I went through Edmunds and also Costco.

Trade In experience with Lexus dealers?

The part I hate most when buying a new car is the process of getting rid of the old vehicle.
I've never purchase a Lexus before, but like the new E350.
Any comments out there about how you were treated pricewise trading in your car?
