I tried buying an ES350 UL edition but apparently no one wants to sell one. Out of the half-dozen or so dealers that I contacted (via email) half said the price I offered was "well below invoice" .. (yeah right) .. and the others were confortable with my price (amazing isn't it?) but since May 1st arrived, they suddenly dropped off the face of the earth.
 
You know, that's really bad for Lexus dealers to bend over backwards the last week of a month but come the first of the month they suddenly aren't motivated to sell cars?
 
Not to mention, dealers seem unenthusiastic about selling a car they don't have on their lot. I'm sorry if my preferences can't be found on your lot and you have to swap with another dealer. Maybe you should stock more-equipped vehicles. Suck up the $200 transfer fee because a sale is a sale, it still moves a car off your lot.
 
Last time I checked, selling a $40K car was selling a $40K car, so what if it's in week 1 and not week 4. Maybe I should look to BMW/Acura/Infiniti for a better sales experience.

I recently bought a BMW for my wife and in the process also shopped at Acura and Infinity. I'm sad to say that the vast majority of dealerships if not all of them, luxury brand or not, are just out there to make money like the next guy. The pleasantries and smiles are all thinly veiled facades as far as I'm concerned. The same old 'talk to the manager' routine, the same old four square box asking what you'd like to pay per month.
 
Additionally, if you come into the dealership dressed casually, which for me is a hawaiian golf shirt and a pair shorts, you'll get no attention whatsoever. The next day, when I stop by after work and still in business attire, I get accosted in less than 15 seconds from when I step out of my car. I personally find this contemptable. These sales people, most of which couldn't even afford to drive the cars they sell, somehow transpose the prestige of the brand onto themselves.
 
How's that for a buying experience?

I managed to close on an ES350 for 500 over invoice from Lexus of Seattle. Lexus of Bellevue was willing to match. I got the PP package along with a bunch of the usual options. (Steering wheel, sun shade, accessories, bluetooth) It totalled $35,000 including destination charge if I remember correctly.
