Hi I wanted to see what people thought of the new lease special that came out for Lexus es350. I went by the dealer yesterday and they said $2999 down with $399/mo for 12,000miles for 36 months. Is this a fair deal and is there room for negotiation? Thanks

I went into their side, locate the Internet sales mgr then send an email with my option in detail including their MSRP price and the invoice price from Nada.com and ask what is their best quote. I also stated that I am serious and ready to make the purchase within a week. The price they quote me is 33,997, invoice price is 33,568, MSRP price is 37,930. So I would sugest to bargain up from invoice price.

Thanks for the info. So that is $429 above invoice. Mine is about the same ($500 over invoice) but mine is not in stock and they have to order. I would have more room to bargain if it's in their inventory. But thanks~! I guess I am not way off on what I am paying then.

Prem Plus pkg does not come with HIDs. The HID lights are an additional option. Also, they usually bundle the wood/steering with the Prem Plus pkg, but it is an additional option cost as well.
 
If you can drive up to central NJ, Ray Catena has the best deal around. I just got the 2009 200 below nada invoice cost.

Thanks...what was tiyr price before TTL?
I still need some help with this.
 I am a bit confused because when you go to the Lexus website the options are:
Premium Plus Package with Additional Options $2,035.00
 
Premium Plus Package with Additional Options $3,180.00
 
Voice-activated DVD Navigation System with backup camera and Bluetooth technology with Additional Options $6,030.00
 
But when I go to Edmunds TMV, Cars.com or nada.com to figure out the true market value the choices are all individual items it seems. Which of the Nav of these pages do I pick based on the fact that only one os offered on the Lexus site and do I choose all ther other individual things that are listed as "included" in the Prem Plus and Nav on the Lexus site? Can't figure this out to see what market value is.

Hey Purple10, were you able to get the 5.31% for a 72 month, or 60 month period? (I am seeing atleast 0.8-1% difference between a 60 month, and a 72 month financing.
 
Lexus offers for 60 months 5.89% and for 72 months 6.69%. (Many dealers in the bay area seem to offer the same, atleast on initial email contact). I am sure some Banks/credit unions can give a better deal, as you said, and as previously quoted by lexusbunny.

The best way is to apply your loan with Capitalone.com. Depends on your credit history, you might get the lower rate than what they listed (my case I got 5.31% below their advertise of 5.44%), and I think with 72 mos, the rate will go up almost by 1%. Capital One will send you the blank check within 5 working days, you have the option to use or not. I had to apply three times (different rate everytime) because the blank check expires before I decided on the car, but at least I have it ready wnen I need it. Good luck

I'm getting ready to purchase my blk/blk beauty prem/plus w/Nav, within the next 30 days. I have my own financing thru GEICO FCU. Getting 5% for 72 months. I plan to offer invoice which is just above 36k. I'm in the ATL area. Lexus is running a December special on financing, not sure if they can beat 5% though.

I specifically signed on tonight to thank you purple10! The information you posted helped us out a ton. We just bought a car tonight from Clearlake at that exact price, 34k+TTL.
 
For others in TX, I was so impressed, I'm willing to rave about our experience; I HIGHLY recommend this place. The conversation I had with the manager was friendly and quick. The deal was sealed in 10 minutes over the phone (Bank of America already approved us for 5.3% at 60mo) and we just agreed on a time for us to sign and pick up the car. This is a huge contrast to the headache I've had in the last 2 mos with other dealerships, very similar to what lexusbunny has described. After we signed papers, our sales lady spent an extra 30 minutes after the dealership was already closed to teach my mom how to customize her new car. This was something that the Austin dealership never did when we bought our RX350 a couple years back.
 
Thanks again everyone, especially purple 10 for all your help on this forum. Really appreciate it, we love our new car, and hope you guys have a wonderful experience with yours!
