Replying to: ma77 (May 01, 2008 9:46 pm) 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. |

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. |

I am in the market for an ES 350 with the nav package. In NJ this is going for $41,815 MSRP. How much profit do you figure is in the $7230 for the nav package as the invoice for the base model is $29,900. Probably making a decision in a couple of weeks. I'm looking to pay less than $35K. Is this possible?
