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.

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! |

Replying to: ocautoseeker (Nov 24, 2007 12:58 pm) First, thanks a bunch for your info. It was really helpful. I happened to get a call from Newport Lexus yesterday (before I signed papers at Crown) offering $33,500 for the ES350. That's about $300 over invoice. As you suggested, I contacted Crown since I was already working with them & they offered to match that. I don't think they were thrilled about it but they did it! They did give me $500 less for my trade in (which was still $500 more than what they said the car was worth to them...$1500), but I still came out ahead. So, I ended up getting the car for $1400 less than our original offer of $34,990. I'd say that's pretty darn good! I picked up my car this morning and I love it already! So, recap: '08 ES350 w/ premium package with bluetooth, without nav Invoice: $33,258 MSRP $37,700 Paid: $33,500 + tax/license THANKS AGAIN!
