Hi
Could you please list out the 5 addl individual options that you are looking for ? Also, which dealership in NoVa have you been talking to so far ? Did you try Silver Spring, Md - they seem to have some good offers time to time.

robg3,
 
This MRSP ($38,202) seems to be for a Premium (non-nav) version, with options such as full-size spare, truck mat/net, rear side bags, etc. This is not for Prem Plus.

jaspalb,
Yes, you may be correct..."Premium" with "Additional Options" & "Preferred Accessory Package" ?
However, the dealer circled the "Premium Plus Package" in the brochure for me...with the following additional items:
 
Total MSRP $38,202 =
 
33,470.00 Base Car +
Premium Package =2480.00
Steering Wheel = 330.00
High Intensity Lights= 815.00
Rear Seat Airbags= 250.00
Trunk Mat= 69.00
Wheel Locks= 69.00
Destination= 715.00
 
Anyway, what is the best discount from the total msrp amount?

Well, it looks as if the typical, best deals at this paticular time, for a E350 on this forum are ranging from 8% to 11% off msrp. Since everyone can figure out the vehicle msrp with the options or particular package that a dealer is proposing, one can at least determine a fair and reasonable purchase price using these percentages.

My ES350 buying experience by pkent

I bought a '07 ES350 (with premium package, MSRP $41,822) about 3 weeks ago here in Calif. Used Costco buying program which saved $3,560, plus an additional $1,100 by further negotiation. In a previous email to this site a comment was made that a dealership probably could go to about $5,000 off MSRP maximum which I cited during the negotiations. One thing I am really glad to have added as an extra is the "signature finish" surface protection (inside and out) for about $550 extra (4 year warranty) - makes the car look beautiful. Freeway driving is 27+ mpg, and about 19 around-town. No dashboard squeeks or diesel-sounding engine problems as noted in other reports here. Thanks to all of you for your insightful comments, esp. Dunde71 on his extended warranty from Lexus of Huntsville - that is a great deal which I will look into.

ES350 Ultra Luxury Package by blazinginder

What's the lowest price someone has paid for an ES350 Ultra. Lux (MSRP 44k)
 
...I'm trying to get a Smokey Granite Mica / Black Leather from my local dealer (here in NJ) but being that they don't have one, they're trading with a dealer in PA and are going to have a flatbed truck go pick one up on a trade with the dealer there. I've got them to sell the car for $40200 (including destination and whatever it costs to have the car transported from PA to their dealership)...
 
...what do you guys think, the invoice is $39300 (I believe) and they said that they have to pay advertising fees around $500 and the cost of getting the car from another dealer which is another $400...does this seem reasonable or is the "advertising fee" BS along with charging $400 to have the car put on a flat bed and brought to them.

Yes, the $500 ad fee is bull. It's just a dealer ploy to get more from you and less off the car. Also, the $400 flat bed fee is excessive. Tough negotiations could have them throw it in, but in any event, it should not be any higher than $200. Tell the dealer that you'll just go to the dealer that has that car and buy it from them and see what their response is. I too live in NJ (near Cherry Hill Lexus, see post #492) and got $4511 off an MSRP of $41,711, so you should be able to get more off of a 44K car than what you stated. Check out Ray Catena Lexus or Prestige Lexus. Any further questions, email me back.

I figured the ad fee was BS...Ray Catena actually has a Black/Black and a gray/black ES350 ultra lux....but being that his dealership is a hike from my house, it'd be a pain to take it there for servicing and being that you only get a loaner car for servicing, from the dealer you buy it from, I don't want to buy it from him. I'm looking to buy from Lexus of Edison and they said Catena doesn't/won't trade cars with them let alone anyone for the most part(don't doubt it either since these guys are taking more of his business etc)...speaking of the discount, invoice is $39300 and taking out that $500 BS fee he's charging I should be able to get it for under 40k which is fine with me....oh btw when you're in the area you HAVE TO check out the Lexus of Edison dealership...they have a 180 car storage room ontop of their showroom, all the cars are detailed and ready as soon as people buy the car
