I have had a tough time with the dealers here in Chicago. I have conacted 3...not as much room in price as I have seen here on the site. Last month a dealer quted me somewhere around $39,500 for the ultr luxury ES; now, I am geting $40,000 (basicall told them to give me their best price but have not yet suggested one to them). I want to buy this weekend (by the end of the month); can anyone tell me what number I should stick with? Thanks A Bunch!!!

We bought one today. The deal was diluted somewhat by a trade. One dealership offered me 2K and another 3K so the car price on both dealships was similar. Ending up getting a Black/Black ES350 No Nav MSRP $38,724 for $33150. Included I probably could have done a little better but wifey was getting impatient and it seemed like a fair price. The dealer was nice, stuck to thier price, and didn't play games like the other dealer.

Replying to: sfla_car_guy (May 26, 2008 10:42 am) I leased the same exact car here in California in Black Sapphire for $70 more per month. It looks like most of the difference is the $1,000 from LFS (+$28/mo..they wouldn't give it to us unless we were ES to ES. We own an RX.), the .00080 MF (I got 0.00115. +$22/mo) and our sales tax is higher (+$10/mo). Enjoy your beautiful red ES! |

As a service to others researching prices, here's what we paid for a 2008 Lexus ES350 from Sterling McCall Lexus in Houston on June 6, 2008: PT Premium Plus pkg NV Navigation/Bluetooth/Backup Camera WU Wood/Leather Steering Wheel HL HID Headlamps PA Park Assist HN Power Rear Sunshade BE Rear Seat Side Airbags FS Full Size Spare Tire Z1 Preferred Acc. Pkg (Whl Locks,Cargo net, Trunk Mat) MSRP 42,235 Internet Price quote received 39,675 Price we paid 37,700 (not incl TTL) Driveout 40,319 From what we've seen, most of the 350s appear to be configured with certain options and packages. It's difficult to find one with only the options that you want. I did review Edmunds TMV (seemed high) and Consumer Reports but I'm not sure what invoice is anymore. I ended up starting with the CR bottom line price and dealing from there. Hope this helps in your research.

Replying to: thepostman (Jun 06, 2008 6:33 pm) I was set to buy the ES with premium package and Nav. Then I calculated that the UL package (with ML audio) would only cost me about $40 more per month (buying, not leasing) so I went for it. I'm very glad I did as these options made the ES a completely different luxury experience. You get much softer upgraded leather, powered rear window shade (great in hot weather) much nicer wheels, parking assist, 2 sun roofs which really brighten the interior on nice spring/summer days, ML audio, Nav, and probably other things I don't recall. The glass roof and upgraded wheels really stand out (in a good way) from a standard ES. Definitely drive a UL equipped ES before making up your mind.
