Seattle Area Purchase by kil
Mar 10, 2008 (8:17 pm)

Would appreciate input regarding upcoming purchase. I did a Lexus Build for a Premium Plus w/Options. MSRP of 42,534. Using CR and Fighting Chance pricing I came up with a 37,012 invoice price. I found about 5,500.00 built into the pricing. I was offered 3,500 under invoice 38,735 at a dealership in a neighboring state. (Oregon)
 
(Note: For those who did the math the difference in pricing mostly comes from the Rear Spoiler being listed on the webpage from Lexus but does not come on any models actually delivered to this area causing a slight difference. Not really worried about a 100 either way but 1,000 either way I do care about)
 
Awaiting offers from two local dealers when I found this site and noticed a few purchases in the San Francisco area that were closer to invoice. Was curious if any Washington buyers were able to secure a better deal locally and secondly, did someone in the Bay area actually get this package close to invoice or even maybe at a 1,000 over?
 
I have nothing against a flight down and a road-trip back if it's worth my while so any feedback would be very helpful and appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Kil

I am facing with the same dilema.I live in UT and the Lexus dealer here will not budge.From reading the posts here , I found better offers from dealers in the Bay Area . Have not purchased yet but try Fremont Lexus and Putnam Lexus both in the Bay Area.Realize that you would have to license and pay the 8.25% tax in CA.
I was told by many dealers in CA that you have to license the vehicle there and pay the tax.Your state will not charge additional tax when you register the vehicle in your state.I hope this helps in calculating your purchase price. I will post whenever i purchase the vehicle.

Forgot to mention - sale price had been $32,250 on invoice of $33,052 and MSRP of $37,306. Tax (8.25%), title, and license took it to $35,500 out the door.

I am too facing the same problem. I lived in Houston and the dealer around here would not budge at all. I found a deal with Putnam dealer in the San Francisco area for $36K + TTL on a new 2008 lexus ES 350 with Navi and Premium package with a MSRP $42,235. Thanks to the post on this forum because I would never able to get the deal since it is $1500 under invoice. Even with $950 extra shipping to ship my car from SF to Houston, I am still saving thousand of dollar compare to the deal that I got in Houston.
 
One quick correction on the statement: "Realize that you would have to license and pay the 8.25% tax in CA. I was told by many dealers in CA that you have to license the vehicle there and pay the tax.", I do not have to pay the CA sale tax. Once the car shipped to me, I will have to do all of the registration and pay the sale tax at where I lived. I hope that my experience will help some one in the market for the ES350.
 
I am now awaiting for my car to ship to me and will recommend Putnam Lexus dealer to everyone. Please email me for the name of the sale person that I dealt with.

ES350 in Florida by dc_buyer2

ok, I'm getting ready to buy a 2008 ES350 with the Premium package. I can see that the invoice is $29,987 and the premium is another $1,098 = $31085 invoice.
 
Two questions:
1) I can see the some people have gotten just under invoice, just a bit over, etc... and I've read about the dealer kickbacks...but what should I be able to get this car for?
 
2) Anyone have good success with a good deal with a dealer in florida (near fort lauderdale)?
 
Thanks!
