I would like to buy or lease a 2009 with premium plus package. Is there anyone from S.C. on this forum who can tell me about their buying experience?

Can you please let know which dealership? And did the price you mention include destination fee?

That price was without destination fee. I got the car at Lexus of Santa Monica. But I also got very good service with Cerritos Lexus (phone service) I just called back and forth until I got to the point where I was getting around 100 dollars off the car and neither side would go more than 100...so I settled.

The ES 350 lists for $41,800.00 and the dealer is offering $38,100.00 + tax etc. Good deal or not?

Hey, I would say you can do better. MSRP on my ES 350 was 42,856 (Premium pkg, Premium plus, Nav/Mark Levinson, XM radio) I got the Price of the car 37,657 with tax and everything (Lo jack included) 42,387.
 
I got it from Lexus of Santa Monica.
 
Best of luck!

2009 ES 350 w/Nav & Premium Pkg in NY/NJ by pennoyer

MSRP for the basic ES 350 with Navigation package is $41,375. After reading through all of the other posts and looking at the TMV ($37k) I thought a fantastic quote from the dealer would be around $36,500.
After speaking with 5 different dealerships, 3 of them said they can't go lower than $38,500. My best quote so far is $37,800.
 
I told all of them I'd sign the contract tomorrow for 36,500 and no is negotiating
 
Any ideas?

Pennoyer,
 
Keep playing with their heads a little. I had the similar level of experiences, albeit with dealers in the Dallas, TX metro area. Only differences are:
 
1. We went with the 2008 Lexus ES 350 last July as opposed to the 2009 you maybe going for.
2. Our initial intent was to go CPO but eventually we went with a brand new one.
3. Our car that we eventually purchased has the Premium Plus Pkg, Navigation with backup camera, AFS-HID Headlights, Parking Sensor (F & R) and the Power Rear Sunshade. MSRP = $42575 approx. We ended up OTD on July 31 $37800 minus the $13.5k trade-in for my wife's 03 Honda Odyssey.
 
The key for you now if to play your game until the end of the month and you should end up lower than what I got. There absolutely have to be someone willing to bite $36500 or lower for the package you are asking for. Honestly, I think in a downright ugly Auto market, you should set your target $35750 roughly with the intent to ultimately and in the worse case scenario, close it not higher than $36500.
 
Good luck and let me know what you end up with. I am sure you will ultimately end up loving the car, it's a sweet and smooth ride. My wife drives ours in her commute to work daily.

Hey bigal728 - I was just in a NY dealership for 2 hours and they wouldn't budge past $38,100 either. I ended up leaving because I received an online quote from a dealership in NJ for $37,800 - but how are others getting quotes in the mid $36's??? Is the pricing different out west?

Hey everybody -
In a bit of a dilemma - have a quote for $37,800 + tax & tags for an ES 350 w/ Nav & premium plus package. MSRP $41,675
I would buy the car in a heartbeat for $36,500.
However, the 2.9% APR incentive expires on July 6th...
Would you guys say yes to $37,800 so that you can get the 2.9% financing for 60 months or would you roll the dice and see what kind of incentives/rebates come in July?
Any thoughts/ideas/help would be greatly appreciated...Thanks
