Replying to: demetriusk (Mar 10, 2008 8:56 pm) 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. Replies to this message: mattle (Apr 06, 2008 9:15 pm)
#1344 of 2228 ES350 in Florida by dc_buyer2 Mar 23, 2008 (5:29 pm)
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!

#1346 of 2228 Bay Area Purchase by demetriusk Mar 25, 2008 (8:52 am)
I purchased the following vehicle from Putnam Lexus , Redwood City, CA on 3-17-08 based on discussions on this board:Here is the info. Option MSRP Invoice   ES350 $33720 29987 Rear Air bag 250 200 Bluetooth 300 240 Full size spare 205 164 Heated front seats 640 512 Premium Package (leather trim etc) 1280 1098 Wood/leather steering 330 264 Accessory package 197 160 Delivery 750 750   Total 37687 33390 (MSRP shown is from window sticker and Invoice from Edmunds) Amount paid : $32300 ( $1090 under invoice) plus Tax, license, fees, total OTD; $35332 (8.25% tax, vehicle license in CA) Color: Ruby Red Metallic: Dealer ordered the car from Southern CA and had it ready for us. Drove it from CA to UT (870 miles) , 30mpg, as measured from pump (not trip computer).Avg. speed 75mph plus bay area traffic. My previous posting regarding the CA sales tax is correct unless the vehicle is shiped on a truck out of state. In other words the vehicle cannot be driven out of the dealership not licensed or pay the tax .The trade off for me was the cost of shipment to UT vs, the diference in sales tax between CA and UT. The sales experience was excellent and I was impressed that they trucked the vehicle from southern CA. The vehicle had 15 miles on the odometer. I would definetely recommend this dealer, straight talk, no hassling. Replies to this message: beezer86 (Mar 28, 2008 3:18 am)

Forgot to mention: for any out of state CA shipment , in additon to the other documents, the state registering the vehicle may require an MSO (Manufacturers Statement of Origin). This has to be ordered from the dealer from Lexus and it takes a couple weeks to get it.
#1348 of 2228 buying an ES350 in Atlanta by mhrdy Mar 27, 2008 (4:43 pm)
I am going to buy an ES350 with premium plus package and nav. Wanted to know what others have paid in the Atlanta area. Any help with this would be appreciated. Replies to this message: dscuba (Mar 27, 2008 5:17 pm)

Replying to: mhrdy (Mar 27, 2008 4:43 pm) try D.C. (Internet Sales) at Hennessy Gwinnett, if he is still there. After alot of research, I bought mine last year from him eventhough they weren't the closest. Good luck and you will love the ES.
#1350 of 2228 Buying an ES350 in the Atlanta area by charliern9 Mar 27, 2008 (11:21 pm)
Hello, I am ready to lease an ES and was interested in learning the sales person dscuba is referring to from Hennessy Gwinnett. I have a deal with Nalley Lexus which includes the prem. plus pkg. and they want 35,629. I spoke with a salesperson at a dealership by the airport and he staes he can sell the car for 34, 271. So of course now I'm wondering if the 34K is the best deal can expect. Would appreciate any advice or feedback. Thank you!
