I was thinking $35k with premium plus package (no nav). Invoice on that is around 33k + ttl = approx $35k. That's a little under invoice, which for the 08 isn't horrible. Considering that's not even $1500 under invoice. Just to clarify, phyll97 was asking for the 08 though.
 
On the 09, I think the 36k price that lexus14 got would be fair (still really interested what the final price was).

Yeah, I'm not getting much luck...guess we're waiting till next month or December. I had someone in austin quote me $37 OTD for an 09 (no nav).
 
Keep me posted on how your experience goes!

Weniki,
 
     Try carsdirect.com. Just plug in your zip code. The last time I checked, their price is really very competitive... certainly nothing like 1,500 over invoice.

I found the dealerships in Houston were not willing to deal at all when I bought last year. Also tried San Antonio and they were very high to start with. I got the best deal at North Park in Plano. Good luck - you just need to do your homework and know what you are talking about so you can deal.

Ok this is what I got today and I think I am going for it.
 
I asked for $37,500 (including tint and pin stripe) + TTL. The invoice for the car is $36,610 (not counting some $515 which all dealers add to when they give me their invoice). With the tint and pin stripe work being ~ $400, I guess I am paying about $500 over invoice now, or just the "dealer invoice" if you count he $515. They have to order the car for me because the color combination I want is not readily available in most regions. I guess if I am more flexible on the color, I might be able to get a better deal. But I figure if I pay this much for a car and keep for a while, might as well get what I want exactly.
 
I know I am probably paying more than a lot of people pay but I am quite done with all the negotiating and talking and being called rediculous when I suggested anything close or under invoice. I am planning to pay the deposit to have the car ordered. Thanks for all your help!
 
BTW this is by far the lowest offer I get and this is from Park Place in Dallas. I live in Houston so I will not be able to take advantage of the 4 free oil change that come with it which really, cost about $240 + tax over 1.5 year.

First thanks to Nightowl and others for sharing some helpful info here.
 
We bought a 2008 ES350 today, premium+wood wheel+bluetooth+ ..., no navi, MSRP $37,520, Invoice $33,168, we paid $32 grands + TTL. We are very happy with the deal, expecially we got our favor color combination (dark blue/tan, quite hard to find in 2008s). How do you think? We are in the Bay Area and bought from Magnessen Lexus.

LexusBunny - I completely understand the frustration with negotiating here in TX. We're going to try again at the end of Nov & Dec. CONGRATULATIONS though on getting a number you're happy with, and thank you so much for sharing the numbers (it really helps). I'll remember to try Park Place next month.
 
TuckTurn - That's a great deal in my opinion! If only we lived in cali too... you guys just seem to get the best prices by far. Hope you enjoy the new car!

Tuckturn,
 
That's a great deal, congratulations! I found the Magnussens guys most flexible and it seems like you had a good experience too. Did you get a chance to check out the 09's? I haven't got on this forum lately...just wondering how much the 09's are selling for in the Bay Area.
 
Its been a couple of months since I bought the ES 08 and I love my car .
 
Happy driving!

Thanks Weniki - now I can concentrate on fighting my morning sickness and sit back + relax in between throw ups and wait for my new car to arrive...
 
Meanwhile I got another call from Sewell Dallas this morning after agreeing on the deal with Park Place. The sales said he doesn't undserstand how Park Place can be selling me the car at that price because they will be losing money, and he reasure that there is no way the dealer is paying below invoice. I am just happy that the I don't have to deal with this anymore...
 
Good luck everyone else! I am done!!!

Prices Paid in Boston 2009 ES350/PrmPlus/Navi/FS/BE/WU/HL/PA/WL/LM/GN by krishnav

Agreed for 398 above NADA invoice . MSRP 41385/ invoice 36,442. Deal is for 36800.+ 5% Mass Tax+ Tag+ Doc 149. There was another dealer who called to offer $300 less than this, but by that time I paid an advance and also this dealer is very close to my house. So if you are around Boston you can get 09 ES350 for close to Invoice and in some cases couple of hundreds below invoice.
