Hello! I am very interested in buying an ES 350 and a 2008 at 50% off sounds amazing. How do I get this deal?

In houston ... bought a new 2009 es350 a few days ago. Got premium plus package, blue tooth, full spare, rear air bag, wood trim steering wheel, etc. and body moulding (may have forgot a few extras)...MSRP on the window was around $38,100 ish before TTL (Did NOT get the navigation system). Paid a little over $35000 drive out (backing out the tax, title and license - the base cost paid comes to a little under $33,000). This was for a 2009, so the 2008 should be even less! Definitely there is room to negotiate these days!

I must be slow today.... I just reread my post from earlier this afternoon / looked at the exact paperwork from the car purchase and realized I typed the prices that I paid wrong! Sorry, didn't mean to get anyone's hopes up on the pricing. The MSRP was a little over $38K + TT&L and I paid a little over $36K out the door (including TT&L). Which means the base cost that I paid was a little under $34K. (I was off by a thousand dollars in my earlier post...)

As others have said, the information here was tremendously helpful in my purchase so I’d like to share my buying experience with the hope that others will find this useful. Here’s what I got:
 
2008 ES
PT – Premium Plus Pkg
VN – Nav with ML Audio
PA – Park Assist
BE – Rear Side Airbags
FS – Full Spare
WU – Wood & Leather Steering Wheels
Z1 – Pref Accessory Pkg (trunk mat, cargo net, wheel locks)
 
MSRP – 43,170
Nada invoice – 37,696
Paid – 2500 below nada invoice
 
I did considerable research beforehand, but in the end, it was all about the leg work—and lots of calling around and following-up with people. I tried all the dealers that others had mentioned in the past, but I was never able to match the aggressive pricing that others got from those dealers.
 
It was been very busy at the dealerships and inventory on the 08 is getting pretty thin. They expect it to be even busier tomorrow as people come in for “end of the year” deals. Also, for those looking for a 09 ES, inventory on the 09 ES seems to be way down. Good luck!
