Picked up a 08 ES350 for my wife with Premium Package with Additional Options (second package in LEXUS website)
 
MSRP 37,406
OTD 34,500
 
For the TTL, we have 5% tax and $80 for title and inspection, nothing else. Thus if you do the math, the price for the car is about 300 under invoice. Enjoy it.

Thanks for the info.
 
Does anyone know when the 09 models come out? I heard there are no changes but not sure.
Are there any new Lexus incentives?

Ok... I am new to this and need some help please. We have decided on the ES350, not sure if we will go for the ultra luxury or premium plus. I called a few dealers and here is the best price I have gotten (I basically said I know what I want and I want your best price)
ultra lux 39750 +ttl
premium plus 37500 +ttl.
I am in the chicago land area and am willing to go further out for a deal. I have read some of the posts and see people have gotten below invoice (which I think is 38538 for ultra lux). How much better does anyone think I can do....please help!!!
 
Should I wait for the end of the month?????

That's not a bad idea. Today being only May 2nd, the dealer basically has 29 more days to reach his monthly goal(s). At this pont, he's not stressing about giving you "the best deal" yet beacause he has a whole month to be optimistic. Hit 'em up sometime between the 27th-31st.
 
A great deal "can" be had any time during the month, but sometimes, depending on color, trim, length of time a vehicle has been sitting on the lot, etc. will dictate the price.

excellent prices in socal for 08 es 350 by ajtlaa

was shopping over two weekends for a base non-navi es with premium package.
 
spoke with every dealer in southern cal. and i mean every dealership- from as far west as oxnard, to as far east as palm springs, to as far south as carlsbad.
 
this past weekend (4 days before the end of the month), i was offered $700 to $1,000 below invoice for pretty much any es 350 at 4 different dealerships:
- lexus santa monica
- keyes lexus in van nuys
- tustin lexus
- crown lexus in ontario
 
i was still offered the same pricing even on the 1st of may. these non-navi models are rare because lexus cut production on them and are mainly making navi models, but they still sell very well because they are not very expensive (the least expensive build with leather, msrp $36,600+, has an invoice of $32,920 and you can do several hundred $ to $1,000 better than that, depending on the dealer and color).
 
there is also a new build that features navigation but is not so packed with options that is also attractive if you are price conscious like i am- it msrp's at $39,600+ and invoice i believe is $35,410. you can get the same deal on this car as well (the navi models are much more easy to find in the color you want because they make more of them).
 
if you have serious difficulty finding the color you want, then you may have to pay a little bit more. glendale, westminster and carlsbad (and more that i can't remember) are dealing at about $500 above the four dealerships i listed above. thousand oaks is extremely nice but they don't really deal- they were pretty much at invoice. at woodland hills, when i told them my pricing expectations (i'd already been offered this deal at four other places), were a bit offended and the sales manager came out and started lecturing me.
 
i even know most of the current and upcoming inventory in the $36,600 non-nav build, so if you are looking for silver or smoky granite (that charcoal exterior- very nice) send me a pm. a lot of cars got delivered to the dealerships this past week, and in the next week or two a lot of them are getting even larger shipments. if you can't find the color you want right away in the build you want, ask them what they have coming in the next week or two- you can agree on the price and leave them a $500 deposit.
 
as far as i've found, the only lexus dealership in socal that lists their new car inventory on the internet is santa monica, and you can find that at cars.com.
 
if you need more details, shoot me a pm.

You got an amazing deal...let me ask you again....this 34500 is out of your pocket for OTD price.
 
What are the actual price (minus TTL).
 
Can you please send the name of the dealership too.
