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.

Replying to: tango19 (Jun 07, 2008 6:10 am) I think you got a great deal! Last year (August 07) when I was looking to buy I could not get any of the Houston dealerships to deal. They would not budge so I bought from North Park in Plano. When I went back and told them what deal I was getting from North Park one of them told me I should take it....no counter offer, nothing. So I did.
