Additional question. What was the price you paid and the MSRP? In other words what size of discounting did you get?

The GPS sound nice but my understanding is that feature is about $3000. That is that right? It is hard to believe since anyone can buy a portable GPS unit in the price range of $150 to $300. Does the built-in GPS unit require a monthly fee to use all the features?

Nothing's working for me in DFW... by jack1963

I've been trying to buy a new ES since mid-December. I have researched over and over as well as tried services like Carbargains.com and Fighting Chance....yet after dealing with 4 locations in my area (DFW), the best I can get is about $1200 over invoice. This just seems wrong, considering the economy and recent Lexus sales. I have offered up to $500 over invoice and still get turned down. One dealer had what I wanted on the lot, another one said he could get it for an additional $300 delivery fee. So it didn't seem to matter if they had the car on the lot or not. I have tried via email as well as in person. I guess I must look like I don't belong in a Lexus!
 
So my next step is to look out-of-town, and possibly out-of-state. Can anyone recommend a good dealer that would ship to Texas?? I am running out of options here!

What should I pay for a used 2009 ES350 Ultraluxury with 8200 miles on it? Apparently it is only 2 months old. I am thinking it would be worth $35k...

Sorry I didn't see any email from anyone but I can post all the information here but the dealer's name, I guess. I live in Houston and I purchased the car from Park Place Lexus at Plano. All the deals were done over email and phone. I understand all packages are different and I listed all the prices and packages in this thread before...so I don't want to repeat everything but I manage to negotiate ~$500 over inovice (I accounted the free tint and pinstrip I asked them to give me for free). They have been looking for this particular car color combo for me.
 
For the GPS...it's from NAVTEQ and they are supposed to be not so bad. My husband already has a GPS for his bike that is portable so I wanted this one to come with it. And no you don't have to pay for any monthly fee, but you have to pay $300 something if you ever want to update it. I belive you only pay ~$80 to update a Garmin and you can actually get it from the web for free if you know what you are doing.
 
If anyone needs more info, email me at bunnytubbyhotmail.com...hope this help!

I too am in DFW area but from SoCal. Just toying with a lease on a new ES 350 as I've just bought a new Buick Lucerne Super. These figures from two weeks ago:
 
Park Place Lexus:
$539/mo for 48 mos. + $2000 = $27,872 total (msrp = $37,930)
 
South Bay Lexus (Torrance, CA):
$429/mo for 36 mos. + $3499 = $18,944 total (msrp = ?)
 
Seems like a no brainer--if the DFW dealers won't match this deal, make a deal through e-mail or phone and go out to CA and pick up your new ES350. You may even be able to have them add 1,500 miles to your lease to compensate for the road trip back to DFW.

I just placed the order for my new 2009 ES350. Was able to get a Nav car with MSRP of $41,671 for $37,100 in Atlanta. Thanks to lexpaul and others on this board for the information.
 
They didn't have the colour I wanted on the lot (Red/Cashmere) so they sold me one which just arrived at the port this morning. Should be able to pick it up in a couple of days. can't wait to drive it.
 
One more question for the board: What do I need to be able to connect my iPhone to the sound system?

Has anyone picked up an E350 at or below invoice recently? The way the economy is going, I am surprised Lexus is not coming out with a manufacturer's rebate. Or is it?

I was able to get 88% of sticker late december from Park Place in Grapevine for a 2009 ES 350. KN was salesman. I think that was just $225 above invoice that I calculated off Edmunds website by putting in my options. Looks like others are getting about the same deal. Not sure what is happening for you?

I saw people on here saying that they got one for like $1000 or $1500 under invoice before. Not sure how they did it. I got it $500 over invoice and I thought I did good...
 
I don't think Lexus will give out rebates and stuff for their cars, personally. I think they would rather suck it up and ride out the bad economy. Lowering car prices and start giving out rebates might make also make them feel that they lower their reputation and the value of their car. But that's just what I think. They are very proud of their products, and they should cuz they are truly very nice. They don't even have any special financing unless you are leasing.
