actually apart from the rear sunshade and rain sensing wipers , its an 37,424 MSRP car that i got. if you are getting it at that price, that is good deal under the circumstances. i think you should go for it, if you feel good about the price. if you live in the NorthEast , i have not seen very generous markdown from MSRP yet, atleast on this board. sounds like people in the bayarea, LA are getting some huge markdowns...
just check the standard options from KBB or lexus.com to make sure you are not paying for something that otherwise comes as standard. i know some dealerships try to confuse buyers.

couple of the dealers i talked to gave the boat story, of cars shipped from japan and what not. KBB has this mats locks as "preferred accessory package" basically its another way of dealers make 50-60 dollars. it comes to around 160 i guess. i would check out kbb for invoice pricing of options.

Close the deal. by shop4mywife

Close our deal today on an Amber UL (ML & P.A.P), couldn't be happier. Got it a little under $2500 off MSRP from an out of state dealership with free shipping the car to us.
 
Not a bad deal at all; I'm just glad that this whole darn Lexus hunting game is over soon.

I got three dealerships in the Oregon/Washington area to agree to $38,372 on a premium plus package with Navi. MSRP is $40,999. But I heard all these good deals from CA. Does anyone know how much it would cost to ship a car from CA to Oregon?

If you don't have a strong preference on the choice of color, I'd buy it locally.

price ranges for smoky granites by drextremops

Hello guys..
 
I am new to this forum, but have been reading all your posts and I find them very useful in my research. Decided to join in and join in the discussions as well. I hope no one will mind . Finally decided that I would go with an ES350, instead of an TL. I am crossing over from a Toyota and would rather 'stay in the family'. Seen that a few people have bought the car with the smoky granite color. I fell in love with it when I was at the dealer 3 weeks ago for the first preview/test drive. Put in a deposit right at that time to book the smoky granites with NAV and PP (find them very limited and hard to get). Anyway, I would like to know the range of prices that users in this board pay for this (especially those in the So-Cal area). The dealer say the car would probably come in within 2 weeks time or so, so I am eager to get enriched with all your advises when I go to the 'warring' table with the dealer. Appreciate all the feedbacks and inputs. Have a great weekend.

Congratulations. What state/dealership did you work with? Did you find them through an online car finder? Lexus of Spokane stated the "costco price" is $1K under MSRP, for UL, premium plus, etc for the ES. Lexus of Bellevue will go $1600 off MSRP for UL, $1500 off for Premium Plus w/ Nav, and $1200 off for PP w/o NAV. So you definitely got a great deal, this early in the game. Lexus is also having a sales event on the RX & the GS. Thanks

Hi CC,
 
How things going? I agree with you all the quotes that you get from Lexus of Bellevue, we got the same numbers from them as well as from Lexus of Seattle. However, according to Jacklyndang's post, she seems to be able to get a PP with Nav for $2627 under MSRP from this area.
 
Anyway, one of the Sale associate in Lexus of Seattle that we worked with told us the name of a dealership which has the color / package that we wanted, but it's cost inefficient for them to trade cars with other dealership. So we contacted the dealership directly to make the deal. Long story short, we got the deal, but our car hasn't delivered yet. So, I will wait until our car is here (in a week or so) to give you a little more details. I would probably email you directly then if you are still interested to know at that time. Or feel free to email us if we were unable to check this board every day.

MD Pricing by jfrick76

I just got an offer yesterday for the ES 350 with the basic Premium Package (PM), Heated and Ventilated Seats (HH), Blue Tooth (DC), HID Headlamps (HL), Wood and Leather Steering Wheel (WU), and the preferred accessory package for $34,900 + TTL (MSRP $37,424). I tried to get them to throw in XM radio, but they only offered to sell it to me at their cost ($584 installed) vs $899. They claimed that XM can only be installed by the dealer not at the port because they car is not built for a simple install at the port right now, but they will later this year. I was surprised to get a deal like this, so now it makes me wonder if I can do better. I would probably ink the deal if they throw in the XM. Also, because it is so close to the end of the month and I am going to wait and see if they call me this week. What does everyone think of this deal? By the way this is the exact configuration I was looking for. I am just torn because I really would like to have NAV, but I am not willing to fork out another $2,000 + when I can get a TL with NAV for $33,000. Any thoughts?

TL is smaller, rides like a Honda, much noisier than the 350, is about to change design in a year or two....I drove the TL and the 350 and in my opinion, can't begin to come close to the 350 in quality and comfort. I find if I REALLY REALLY REALLY want a feature, price (within reason) isn't going to hold me back. Because if I didn't get it, everytime I saw it afterwards I would be saying, "I really wish I had gotten that."
