Good luck! Btw, we used to have BMWs, and this ES350 is the size of a 5 series. So far we are very happy with the ES350 because the options are so superior as you get so much more for you money. But nothing drives like a BMW, but as new parents, performance and aggressive agility isn't important for us anymore (okay me...). The nav system is industry best. I really like the subtle details like showing me in advance which of the six lanes is valid to be in rather than "keep left" or "keep right".

We bought at Rockville Lexus. Got it for about $1000 under invoice at the end of July. I emailed all of the Lexus dealers in this area, even as far as Baltimore. No one would deal except Rockville and Alexandria, and Rockville made more sense location wise. Using VA tax rates, and getting the ES350 with Nav and Premium Plus, you should be OTD around $38 or just over $38. I would not pay more than that since 2009's are almost here.
FYI - I don't have my papers in front of me but I believe invoice was around $36500 once you subtracted holdback, etc.. and then add TTL.

From what I have read elsewhere the only change for 2009 is the Royal Ruby Metallic color is being changed to the Matador Red color. One would think there would be some other minor tweaks but perhaps not.

The buy rate is supposedly .00065, but I paid .00125 MF (they were asking .00165) on 7/28 with a full 0% tax incentive in Houston. I could not confirm the new MF released on 7/25 by the time of my purchase. Looks like they are trying to charge you 1.25%, or $500 for the priviledge of using their trade in credits, plus another 1% in additional finance profit. Sounds like you have some more negotiating room if you can buy closer to the end of the month.

I have a ruby red and few people have asked the color at gas station/car wash and few have commented "nice color". I observe people staring at the car and I think it is not becasue of badge/car but color. I am not sure how matador red will look on ES.
