Different with NJ or CA, around Raleigh-Durham area in NC,
we have only two Lexus dealer, but both of them have same dealershop name, Johnson Lexus of Raleigh and of Durham.
 
Are they same? or can I deal with both of them?
 
What do you think about $34000 deal? good enough for
ES 350 MSRP $36K with Premium package and Bluetooth, Rear seat side airbag, and some accessary.
 
Some tips, please.

Not sure if you are talking about the 17" SuperChrome. That is part of the Ultra Luxury Package. To get that in SW region, you have to go with the Ultra Luxury trim level, MSRP $ 44012. Check Sewell website for their inventory of that trim.

I'm not sure either I just know on all photos (actually photo showing right now on their ad to the left) is the wheels I want - all on models I looked at that were at Park Place Lexus in Grapevine that had these flat colored wheels - not shiny - and not spokes like shown on the build your own or the ads. You can tell I'm not a guy - I don't know how to describe but I've never bought I car where I hated the wheels - and I think 1700 for a wheel upgrade is ridiculous when they are the wheels shown on the website when you build your lexus with just the premium package.

Purchased ES350 in MD by slmd

Just picked up the car over the weekend. Premium package w/ no nav. MSRP 37902 and paid 34402 plus $100 fee, tax, and tags from Lexus of Silver Spring. Sent email queries before visit at year end. Both Silver Spring and Rockville started with $3k below MSRP. Pohanka and Lindsey couldn't compete ($2k below MSRP). Great buying experience - took about 30 minutes to settle on price.
 
Love the car so far.

Thanks for the insight. Did that give you an Out the Door price of around $41k ($3k for tax and $500 for T&L)? Just wondering if there were any other costs they slid in.

Total Out the Door price is about $39770. Don't know about other states, but in the state of Texas, fees for new car sales are state-wide universal: 6.25% sales tax, $55 title fee, ~$22 for inspection, ~$80 for license plate, and inventory tax (I paid ~$88).

With tax being 6.25% - you probably paid between $40 and $41k TTL. Approximately $3-$4k below MSRP. Probably a fair deal for both.

I'm at the opposite end of the country in Northern Cal (but lived in Maryland outside DC for 8 years, so know the geography you are talking about). I just picked up my
ES 350 last weekend also. So far, best car I've ever owned. Paid $34K, for that model, so we are in the same ballpark. Would like to have gotten more on the trade-in, but they always screw you on the trade in. And the trade-in car (a 2004 Maxima) was soon in need of about $1200 in repairs. Went in armed with Edmunds and Kelly info on both the new car purchase and trade in, a big help.

Zhiminwen,
 
Can't thank you enough. I called Sewell of Dallas (and also the other three Lexus dealers in DFW) and got the same salesperson that you worked with. We worked out the same deal and everything went great.
 
Great dealership. And having your information as a reference point made it a quick negotiation.
