Bought a Lexus ES 350 with Premium Plus, HID Headlights, Preffered Acc Pkg, Rear seat air bags,wood steering wheel, pwr rear sunshade, full size spare, blue tooth audio. Invoice price $34,888. Paid $35,470 plus $200 Documentation fee. Bought the car at Nashville Lexus. Don't bother looking at Chatanooga, Kingsport, or Knoxville. They won't deal. Try Lexington, Ky and Nashville. I think I could have done better. I would try going for the invoice price given in consumer report. Deal over the internet with the internet manager. They will ask you to name your price and if they can do it they will tell you. Let me know how you do.

In the market for an ES 350 with a Premium Plus package (no Nav or HID lighting). Being quoted a price of $35,070 plus ttl = 37,511; before any negotiations.
 
Is this a reasonable price or do I have room to go down further.
 
Premium Plus Package Includes:
- Leather-trimmed interior
- Heated and ventilated front seats
- Driver's seat power cushion extender
- Lexus Memory System to control power driver's and front passenger's
  seats (except lumbar), outside mirrors and steering wheel
- Electrochromic outside mirrors with tilt-down in reverse
- Rain-sensing intermittent windshield wipers with mist cycle
  
Additional Options:
- Audio Bluetooth® technology
- Full-size spare tire with 17-in alloy wheel
- Rear seat side airbags
- Wood- and leather-trimmed steering wheel and shift knob
- Power rear sunshade

My estimate is that you should ask for $34,000 plus TTL. Visit few dealers in your area, pick the one from their inventory and don't hesitate to walk out if they don't budge. If they don't have premium plus package than you can go for w/premium for approx. $33,000 and w/nav for $37,000.

No Luck on an ES 350 premium plus with Navi by krai

Hello:
 
So far the price quoted OTD are ranging from 40,000 to 40,700 for an ES 350 2008 with premium plus and Navigation. The tax in PA is 6%. The price of the car is in the ballpark number of 38,200 to 38,500 and then ttl. I have tried with approx 6 dealers in the tri state area. Tried the dealers in the Virginia area but they are not returning my call based on my address (maybe). I was hoping for OTD of 38500 but the numbers quoted are not even close.
 
Will it be any different in the weekend? One has only two more days to seal the deal as Sunday and Monday the dealerships are closed.

Thanks for your reply. Did you get the special financing. I am trying to understand the trend. Is it that due to the special financing offerend now the prices are higher. If one has to pay higher than the invoice for the 2008 model, I may just wait for the 2009 model.

Doc and Bank Fees? by ttg911
Sep 01, 2008 (4:35 am)

Hi,
 
I have agreed to a price of $36,928 for PP with Nav. However, the dealer is now telling me there are fees of : $695.00 bank fee; $259.00 doc fee; $5.00 tittle fee; and 118.50 registration fee. I think their 'bank fee' is pure profit for the dealership, correct? Lexus gets 100% of the doc fee, right? Thanks for any help you can provide...

Lexus Financial gets the bank fee (aka acquisition fee). I'm not sure of what the base fee is, but, it's at least $595, so if there is any markup there, it's minimal..
 
The $259 doc fee goes to the dealership... consider it profit..

It seems that you are using the special Lexus financing. So what happens after 2 Sept and you have your own financing, does the 695$ get shaved off.
If you crunch the numbers to get the 2.9% you have pay 695$ extra so in effect it is not 2.9% apr but more.

Hello:
 
Want to share my experience and thank all that helped me in the journey.
 
Bought the ES 350 premium plus with Navi
 
Price is 37657 + Tax 2259 (6%) + Tags 182 = OTD 40100
Tried very hard to get it for a lesser amount almost with 8 dealers but this was the best deal.
 
Cheers!!!
