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!!!

Thats a great deal almost 1350 less than mine. Did you use the Lexus special financing? And was your buy recent. My total license fees were 180$. I have noticed some dealers price the car less but make it up with hefty fees.

Thank you for posting this valuable buying info on Lexus ES350. I am in the market for ES350 with Nav package. I wonder if you could share with me which sales person you worked with to get the same great deal you got from the Park Place in plano?

ES350 in the Northwest by chintubajaj

Guys,
 
I am looking for ES350 around the Northwest region. Can someone give any pointers to any good dealership which can give some good deal (I am ok with a year used vehicle too)? I am in the state of WA but dont mind going out of the state for a good deal.
 
What are the cons of looking out of state.
 
Thanks,
Chintu

My license fee was close to $200 odd, and I got special financing I took 5 yrs at 3.9% APR . They charged a $50 doc fee, iPlus ofcourse the tax that is 7.75%.
 
that was all, I got it for $39600 out the door approx with tax and license.

I found the car my wife wanted this last weekend (Pebble Beach Edition), negotiated a good price ($36,950) but then they wanted $695 (bank fee for using Lexus special financing rate for the lease) plus $295 (dealership doc fee), plus plates and license fees. In addition, they marked up the Money Factor (should have been .00055 and they would not go lower than .00099). All in all, a good deal turned out to be not such a good deal. Does anyone who recently bought a ES know if the $695 fee and Money Factor markup is common? Thanks and we are going to watch and hopefully buy during the "December to Remember".

Virtually all leases have a bank fee (aka acquisition fee). That goes to the bank. Sometimes, dealers can markup that fee for extra profit. I'm not sure what Lexus' fee amount is, but it's at least $595, so little markup there, if any..
 
The dealer doc fee is just profit padding. Marking up the money factor is also a typical occurrence. And, as you noted, really turns a good deal into an average one..
 
Just tell them you won't pay that price, and hopefully they will come down. But, chances are, they won't. Dealers that markup the MF tend to stick with it. That killed a deal for me, last Saturday.
 
regards,
