Replying to: jlump (Aug 13, 2009 7:27 am) yes should be able to do better. They are in 6% disc level....worse case should be able to get into 7-8 % off msrp and it wouldn't be a bad deal imo.     This was probably a starting point for them, even though most post you see here are with nav. option, if you look #'s you can calculate from them the discs being given. Like most Lexus markup is around 10- 10.5 % before getting into options where the real markup can be. Most books, etc will tell you if they( dealer ) can get 1-3 % on veh. it's good deal for both sides, they of course have other incentives that will make it more profitable for them. I'm still in buying stage..waiting on color/pkg but so far I've gotten 7 - 8.5 % disc off msrp between 2 dealers. Hope this helps !   Good Luck G Replies to this message: kingpcgeek (Aug 13, 2009 10:37 am) jreyna (Aug 13, 2009 1:48 pm) kingpcgeek (Aug 13, 2009 3:43 pm) and 2 more... jlump (Aug 13, 2009 11:03 am) bhusted007 (Aug 13, 2009 12:12 pm) jreyna (Aug 13, 2009 2:17 pm)

Replying to: jreyna (Aug 13, 2009 9:55 am) MSRP and the discount from sticker shouldn't even be in the conversation now days when talking about buying a car. Invoice is your starting point when negotiating for a car. On almost all but the hottest selling or new cars (IS Convertible or G37 Convertible come to mind) you should be shooting for a selling price of invoice or less.

Replying to: jreyna (Aug 13, 2009 9:55 am) I am not very good at negotiating, especially with 2 dealers. Did you just tell the second dealer your 1st quote directly and literally ask him if he could beat it? Or, were you more subtle? Any advise would be much appreciated!! Thanks!

Replying to: smarty666 (Aug 13, 2009 6:51 am) Smarty666, Glad to hear my posts helped someone. In addition to Ray Catena I recommend Lexus of Edison too. I submitted a price request from their web site (like I did with many others) and dealt with a nice guy who was willing to deal but we aren't supposed to put names and contact info here. Good luck!

Replying to: jlump (Aug 13, 2009 11:03 am) To Jlump, Yes you absolutely can tell the salesperson you received a better offer from somewhere else and aski can they beat it. I've been doing it for years as have many others and they are used to this now, especially by email. Some may be a bit more receptive than others but the only place that gave me any kind of attitude was Lexus of Bridgewater. You can also just make an offer and say "this is what I'm willing to pay" if you don't want to disclose that you have an offer from another dealer. In negotiations though you are better off if they salesperson knows that they are competing for your business. It's human nature to want to win in a competition and you will cut to the chase faster and hear less B.S. if they know you are talking to another salesperson.

Replying to: pantene1 (Aug 13, 2009 12:50 pm) pantene1 what is the final price of the car? Did you add any extras like paint sealant or extended warranties? Your State taxes and fees are what they are. What counts is the amount your sales tax was based on.. Replies to this message: pantene1 (Aug 13, 2009 2:08 pm)
#2073 of 2424 Re: 2009 ES 350 Price [kingpcgeek] by jreyna Aug 13, 2009 (1:48 pm)
Replying to: kingpcgeek (Aug 13, 2009 10:37 am) kingpc,     that may be true with certain makes/models but not the case with BMW, LEXUS, etc...simply because they dont have to. Take a look at all the selling price pts on these treads and you will maybe see 1-2 were able to purchase inv., and these were early in yr. when economy was in turmoil more than currently. So you can take from the bottom or top to reach price point you're looking to achieve, key being knowing aprox. cost veh. is costing dealer, they are a made for profit Co.     Good luck to everyone.

Replying to: radar6 (Aug 13, 2009 1:27 pm) OTD (Out The Door) is the final price which includes all fees (tax & lic). No extra was added. Does anyone know how much is reg/lic. fee for 09 ES350 in California?
