Replying to: praz (Nov 13, 2007 3:21 pm) I now have 400 miles on my es 08 and I have not had a flare. I took it for a test drive in 20 degree weather last night and it perfomed beautifully. (some people have talked about a cold weather knock in the valves, I have not had that problem either). My hope is that these problems were corrected in the 08's, that's why I bought one instead of an 07. All 07's do not have the problem, based on what I have read. GOOD LUCK!

I'm about to purchase an '08 Lexus ES 350 the with premium package and additional options, no nav. The sticker price is $37,700, the agreed upon offer is $34,990, which is $2,710 below sticker. Is this a good deal? I live in Southern California, and getting the car from Crown Lexus in Ontario.

Replying to: savsens (Nov 23, 2007 9:51 pm) Your quoted price is fair, but ideally I'd have them knock another $700-$1000 off. Invoice on this particular vehicle is ~ $33,700.00. Make an offer of $34,000.00 + ttl and hold firm. That's ~$300 over invoice on their "volume seller", during one of the slowest months of the year for auto sales. I wouldn't go any higher than $500 over invoice on this vehicle the way it's equipped. Good luck, keep us posted.

Replying to: savsens (Nov 24, 2007 8:43 am) If you want to renegotiate with your dealer, just tell him that you've done a little more research and that you think his price is too high. You have to show no emotional attachment to the vehicle. Let them pursue you, not the other way around. Call a few other dealers and ask to speak with a sales manager. Ask them if they have the vehicle you're looking for in stock. Tell them you're ready to buy and let them make the first offer and then counter with your offer. Best time to get a great deal is on Tuesday or Wed. when the dealer is slow. Plus, you're at month-end. Be assertive and hold firm and you should get the deal you deserve. You can e-mail me if you want to discuss further. ocautoseeker  yahoo.com

Replying to: ocautoseeker (Nov 23, 2007 11:16 pm) ES350 is also one of the car I'm looking to get. I've received some quotation on the internet from Glendale Lexus. Without bargaining, they are already quoting me $33k without Navigation and $36.5 with Navigation. I'm not sure if this they are good price. But, I do know the dealers invoice cost from Manufacturer (Lexus) should be around $29,889 (basic model from MSRP $33,720). It never hurts trying to get as low as possible...Let me know if you get lower pricing, perhaps I will need that info too. thanks.

Replying to: skh168 (Nov 25, 2007 12:00 am) I just purchased my ES350 today! I ended up getting a good deal from Crown Lexus in Ontario. Premium package without nav for 33,500. Invoice on this car (with destination of $765) is about $33,260. Newport Lexus who quoted the $33,500 and Crown matched it since I was already working with them. Also try Riverside Lexus. I think all the dealers are participating in the "December to Remember" campaign, so you'll probably find a good deal. Also see ocautoseeker's replies to my post. They were very helpful. Good luck! By the way...you'll love the car!!! I do already! |
