#526 of 1544 Best Prices by dubldoc Mar 18, 2007 (5:06 pm)
I have yet to see any dealer with as consistently good deals as Ray Catena in New Jersey. While my wife insisted I stay local (Johnson Lexus, Durham, NC), so I only got 3k off a fairly basic model, Ray Catena offered over the phone with no hassle to fax over a much better offer. PS, I'm thrilled with my 350, best car I've ever owned. I drive it daily 100 mi roundtrip at 80-90 mph, and with 40% local miles I still have overall 26mpg, using premium or not!

Replying to: dubldoc (Mar 18, 2007 5:06 pm) As I have stated in previous posts, I too agree w/ you. I negotiated the deal on the net and over the phone w/ Ray Catena Lexus and didn't meet the salesman or go to the dealership (an hour and 15 minutes away) until I went to pick up the car.
#528 of 1544 best prices by mek6 Mar 19, 2007 (8:19 am)
I'm looking for info on greater Boston prices. I want ES350 with premium plus package, rear seat side airbags, full size spare, HID headlamps with AFS, navigation system package, intuitive park assist, wood & leather steering whell and preferred accessary package. MSRP is 41,612. I offered 800 over invoice and they came back with 700 over invoice to split difference of processing fees (paperwork). Never had a dealer offer me less that what I offered: total price of 37,900. There is a 400 advertising fee hand written on the invoice. Thoughts about that being thrown in?

Replying to: mek6 (Mar 19, 2007 8:19 am) The car you are looking at invoices at $36,476. If you add the Adv fees , which is approx $418, the invoice price becomes $36,894. I know dealers in the DC Metro and NJ add the adv fees while building up the invoice price. So 700 or 800 above "invoice" depends on what you and/or the delaer considers invoice. If you are happy with the price you pay for a car you like, I would say thats the best deal.
#530 of 1544 Re: ES 350 price in DC/VA/MD area [mbm07] by rxrookie Mar 19, 2007 (8:53 am)
Replying to: mbm07 (Mar 16, 2007 12:47 pm) The $41,711 MSRP is a really great car. Been following it for a while, but still waiting to make a purchase. As to dealerships, in MD there's Rockville Lexus and Silver Spring, and Linsday in Va. Been to all three, but unable to decide whats a good price. Could you let us know when you do make the purchase as to how it went ? Replies to this message: mbm07 (Mar 19, 2007 11:10 am) benji5 (Mar 19, 2007 2:09 pm)

Replying to: rxrookie (Mar 19, 2007 8:53 am) I plan to buy this car within a month or so. I will post details of my purchase after I buy it.

Replying to: rxrookie (Mar 19, 2007 8:53 am) See previous posts, especially 504,505,506,508,511. The $400 or $500 ad fee is bogus. It's part of doing business.
#533 of 1544 Es 350 w/ UL package price in Sacramento/Bay Area by vnh84 Mar 21, 2007 (8:12 am)
Hello everyone, I am looking to purchase an ES 350 with Ultra Luxury package within the next few months. The best price, before TTL, for this car that I have read on this board is $39, 300. Has anyone gotten a better price? What should I expect to pay in the Sacramento/Bay Area? I have family in Southern California. Should I look for a deal down there as well?   Thanks!

#534 of 1544 Florida Price- Premium Package by tammy10 Mar 21, 2007 (1:10 pm)
Just closed on a stripped down 350 today from Lexus of Clearwater. MSRP 36, 747 for premium package and a few minor options. Probably the fewest you can get.   Paid 32.5 plus a 600 dealer fee (plus TTL).   I probably could have gotten a Florida dealer to waive the dealer fee at the same sales price but I really wanted a color combination that isn't very common.   In Florida, may also want to try Wilde Lexus (Sarasota) and Countyline in S. Fla. West Palm was also helpful.   Good luck.

Replying to: mb22mb (Mar 15, 2007 8:17 pm) 1. The preferred driver program park place offers is a bunch of coupons/discount to upscale area restaurants, hotels and other. 2. Ad fees are not specifically identified. Usually they are tied into the car's selling price. 3. No. I highly recommend not to get window tinting from the Dealer for a couple reasons. 1st, they charge you3 times as much as a window tint shop would and 2nd, they usually use the cheap window film. I recommend going to get you windows tinted at a tint shop. I got mine at Alta Mere for $189 with an online coupon.
