It had 147 miles on it. The dealer told me they drove it from Santa Rosa to Fremont which is about 90 miles. Trucking it costs them $200 which is more expensive than just driving it down. He may be telling the truth since the MSRP sticker showed a Santa Rosa dealer. Either way I didn't care too much since he was the only one who had the exact configuration I was looking for with matching exterior and interior color.

So what is the best price that anyone has gone on the 2009 with Nav so far?
anyone got lucky with dealers in Seattle?
I am going for 34K for 08 if its with Nav.. lets see what happens. I think the market is slow thus good time to get the benefit.

Don't think they will go that low in Atlanta. My best price so far on an '08 with Nav is $37,998 but that included Sat radio and all weather floor mats. That does not include TTL. I am going to wait until closer to the end of the month to see if I can do better!

I purchased an '08 premium plus package with Navi and XM for $36,500 (excluding TTL) at the Nalley Lexus in Roswell last July. I waited until the 30th to start calling dealerships. Since the last day of the month was not a weekend I felt I had more bargaining power.

I think they will go that low in ATL, in fact I got an offer from Lexus of South ATL for 37k, premium plus w/nav and that was earlier this year, but I wasn't ready to buy. If you stick to your 'guns' I believe you can do it, but you must come well prepared, have your loan already approved and focus on OTD price w/o any trade-ins. I think I'm going to wait for the 09's to come out, I think Lexus has quietly fixed some the problems that have been posted here. I have spoken to all the Lexus dealers in ATL and by far Lexus of South ATL has the best deal going. Good luck in your purchase. Lexus is the best. Can't wait to slip into my black/black beauty.

Interesting. This offer of 37,998 is from Nalley in Smyrna. I walked and they have called several times to see if I would reconsider, however, they have not lowered their price at all. I may go look at the new TL if that keeps up.

My two cents on the ES350 2008

Best price (w/o TTL) to start your bid for Sept 2008:
ES350 w/o Nav: $31,700 and go up to $900 max
ES350 w/Nav : $35,100 and go up to $750 max
ES350 w/ultra : $37,300 and go up to $500 max
Beware. They will add all kinds of fees to pad the TTL price above. I checked my local dealers and they have a lot of these ES350 w/Nav or w/o Nav so you might get them for less than the price above if you wait until the end of each month. If they want the ES350 w/o Nav for $32,600 tell them to slap in the free tint or spoiler... 
Email all your local dealers and see if they can come near the price above.

My 2 cents, figure out 2009 factory invoice prices and deduct atleast $1,000-$1,500 for 2008 prices to account for depreciation.

I still don't get it. I have contacted all of the Lexus dealers in the state of Georgia (total of 6). They are no where near the prices you listed. Right now, the best price on a ES with Nav and Sat radio is $37,658 +TTL. But the dealer has to add another almost $500 to ship the car in from out of state! Most of the dealers I called didn't even want to negotiate, one even telling me they do not want to compete with my local dealers so go contact them. With the sales numbers Lexus has had, the economy, the price and scarcity of gas in the region, they still will not deal. Good luck trying to get under $36,000 on that car! It just will not happen in Georgia.

I just wanted to comment about the price of HID's. We hit a deer not long ago causing damage to the right front and side. To get the right headlight replaced was $1068 versus $350 for a regular headlight. I didn't realize there was such a price difference. (on my lexus invoice when purchased the price was $850).
