Replying to: robynl (May 28, 2006 10:42 am) That was 10.3% off sticker. Based on other buyer's feedback, that is a decent deal. I negotiated in parallel with 3 dealers over 2.5 days; two of them via internet initially then over the phone. All three quickly went to 7.5% like clockwork after a few rounds of negotiation. Once the local dealer believed I would buy the car somewhere else, they came to the party, which was good because the other guys only went to 8% as "final offer". Of course, value is in the eye of the beholder and others may not consider this a good deal. At a minimum, I would expect 8% off MSRP. |

I purchased my ES350 about 2 weeks ago and after 30 minutes of travel my back and legs hurt. I tried every combination of driver seat adjustments and can get no relief. The dealer and I set the seat to the best settings, but it is still not comfortable. Even at the best setting, the seat surface is still angled downward toward rear of vehicle shifting the center of gravity on my tailbone. It feels like a threadbare office chair with thin padding. This is an unexpected development; I love everything else on the car. Has anybody else experienced problems with the seat?

Replying to: rou1 (Apr 01, 2007 9:24 pm) I also purchased a 5 yr tire protection plan ($385) that covers any blowout or necessary replacement of the tires. This includes if you hit a curb and blow out a tire. If rim damage occurs, then the rim and wheel get replaced. I also got the platinum 7y/ 100K miles warrantee for $1365, the same price as offered by the sales manager in Huntsville as mentioned on this board. I believe that is $100 over cost. I tried to purchase this in Houston, where I live, but no one would deal. When I spoke with a friend's friend here in Houston that sells Lexus, he flat out told me that he could easily sell that car for $39,500, so he couldn't let any go for that price. Very disappointing. TX prices still don't match the east coast. Good luck. |

Looking at a UL primarily because of the panorama roof. If you have one do you think it was worth the extra $2500? Also for a UL, what is the best pricing anyone has seen on the East Coast? Thanks! |

Replying to: migurus (Apr 26, 2007 2:13 pm) Does anyone know what the April money factor is or what May's will be? -- update -- I ran the numbers through Excel and I come up with a $551 payment with $1,500 down. I used the same money factor and residual as the dealer. But under the dealer's offer I would've had to put down $3,000 to hit a $550 payment. Where are they hiding money? This is in the Philadelphia market by the way. |

I live in the Philadelphia area and am looking to purchase a UL with Mark Levinson/NAV. Has anyone in this area purchased one and what price did you pay? Any pricing information for the same specs in Delaware or NJ? |

I like this site very much and got a lot of valuable info so I would like to add my purchasing experience of Lexus ES/RX 350 in Great Richmond, VA. I just settle a deal of Lexus ES350 with Premium but no Navi for 35,500 (stick price 38,202) from Lexus of Richmond, VA. I can get ES350 with Premium plus + Navi for 38,112 (stick price 41,612). Here Doc process hidden fee is low about 189.oo and VA sale tax is 3%. I can get the same car from Lindsay, northern VA about 500.00 less, but just don't want to drive 3 hours (one way) for this 500 bucks. Plus I need to install 3M film paint protection option. Local is easy to deal. Last Nov. I got RX350 for 39,500 with stick price about 43,000 (can not remeber exact). Hope this can help someone around this area when buying the same cars. |
