How much is due at signing? I got essentially the same car in northern NJ for $569 for a 36 mo. lease. $1510 due at signing to cover acquisition fee, registration, etc. Is there a sales tax difference between NJ and IL? It is 7% in NJ.

I got them to make an offer of $34,300 including the $765 delivery fee, which makes it $33,535 minus delivery. They state it is invoice and offered to show me the invoice when I get there. This is for a car that MSRP's at $38,505. With Premium plus and HID, wood steering wheel, full size spare, rear side airbags, heated ventilated seats, preferred accessory package. I accepted it over the phone.

Please share your buying experience in the DFW area. I'm looking to purchase an ES 350 with NAV, etc, in the next two weeks.

Is that Linsay Lexus of Alexandria? I did a quick search for "Lexus in Alexandria" and that's the one that came up. That is a good price! The dealer in Houston wouldn't even go for 38K (greedy a$$e$)...
 
And oh, is that a 2008 model? Premium Plus with nav is exactly what I am going after! Thanks in advance for the info!

CA pricing by codex57

Here in CA, I got a dealer to offer invoice. prolly throw in some coupons for service, etc as well. First offers in both SoCal and NorCal were for $100 over invoice. Contacted second dealer (didn't like 1st NorCal dealer's e-mail responses) who offered invoice.
 
Ultra Luxury package and traded a car since they didn't have the color combo I want. As long as it drives ok on the test drive (worried about the transmission flares), I'm gonna purchase it tomorrow.

CMMS1, below was my experience when I bought my ES 350 back on 07/28/2007.
 
Price I paid for ES 350 Lexus in Dallas
 
Bought on 07-28-2007
 
I paid $34,500.00 for my ES 350 at Sewell Lexus Dallas. The only thing it did not have is Navigation, High Intensity Headlamps, Mark Levinson Audio, Park Assist, Panoramic Sun Roof and Chrome Wheels.
 
Sewell wanted $1,700 for Chrome wheels; I got the same wheels for $750 shipped to my door from L.A. Wheel and Tire.
 
My experience with Sewell was absolutely wonderful; I did all my negotiating by e-mail with both Park Place Lexus Grapevine and Sewell Lexus of Dallas. Park Place also offered me the same price of $34,500.00 but did not include Window tint, Hand painted pin stripes and All weather floor mats. Park Place did include the plastic stone chip hood protector though, Sewell did not.
 
E-mail me if you want the sales managers name, he was fantastic, it only took one hour to sign all paper work and purchase the car. My interest rate with Lexus was 5.99%.
 
Things I don’t like about the car so far: Engineer who designed interior lights should be fired (Cannot see a thing, very dim), driver side Ventilated front seat works better than passenger side, ceiling is a little low, not much head room (I am only 5’-10”). Other than that I love the car, my previous car was a 2000 E320 Mercedes.
 
Package I – “Premium” - $38,157
- Premium leather trim interior with real wood accents
- Heated and Ventilated front seats
- Driver memory: Seat, Steering Wheel, Outside Mirrors
- Power Tilt and Telescoping Steering Wheel
- Bluetooth Compatibility
- 6 Disc, Single feed in dash CD player in the console
- Rain-sensing Wipers
- Driver Seat Extender
- Carpet Cargo Mat
- Wheel Locks
- Power Rear Sun Shade
- Body Side Moldings
- Smart Key
 
They also threw in the following:
- Window Tint
- Rear Spoiler
- Hand Painted Pin Stripes
- All Weather Floor Mats
   
Total list price of car was $39,100.00……….I only paid $34,500.00.
 
Sale Price - $34,500.00
Sales Tax - $2,156.25
Dealer's Inv. Tax - $80.07
Documentary Fee - $50.00
Deputy Fee - $5.00
License, Trans, Title - $103.80
Inspection - $23.75
  Sub-Total - $36,918.87
 
Good Luck, John

P.S. I followed this web-sight in buying a car and it absolutely works: How to save money buying a new car in 5 quick steps.

The key is to get an internet quote from the Dealer through Kelly Blue book or Nada.com, this will cut out the middle man (the salesman) and you will save by not paying commission to the salesman. Internet price will always be far less than walking through the door and getting a price.
