Even though i didnt get many (or any) extras, the car came out very nice. I got the black interior which matches well with the wood and the dash.

I just wanted to get some feedback on the prices I am getting quoted on a 07 ES 350 with Premium Plus and Navigation (List: 41,322). I have received the following quotes (this is Drive out w/ tax, title, tag, fees, dest.): Nalley Lexus - Smyrna: $40072 Hennessey Lexus - Gwinnett: $40203 I had asked for $39,170 which was basically invoice and allowance for approx. $500 in fees. Is this a realistic goal? Are the quoted prices ok or should I be able to do better? Unfortunately, I do have some time constraints. My truck was totaled last week and the insurance company is supposed to have my check for me tomorrow. Thus, I start paying for the rental on Friday and I do not want to do that for long! Thanks for all's help!

Replying to: jrct9454 (May 31, 2007 5:51 am) Given the above information on taxes and my conversation with the gentleman from Hennessey, they are offering to sell the vehicle for basically $1000 over invoice. I do not have my notes right in front of me, but I will plan to edit this post/post details once I have that. |

I've begun contacting dealers in the area via the internet on a 2007 ES 350 with a Premium Plus package (that's the wood trim, bluetooth, heated & vented seats, etc.). So far I've used links from Costco, Capital One (Drive One) and directly from Edmunds to see what the discrepancies are for the same car from dealers on and around Long Island, NY. The Costco dealership (no hassle pricing) says they cannot quote prices over the phone due to the relationship and agreement with Costco, but he did say he would give me an indication if he could do better if I called him with other prices. This dealership is not really close by, so it's my last stop. The Capital One dealership (no hassle pricing) quoted me $34,615 The Edmunds dealer hasn't replied yet, and my close to home local dealer is waiting for me to get back to him. How does this first quote stand up these days? Thanks, Bob BTW - Edmunds doesn't show an invoice amount for this car anymore??? |

Replying to: jabberwockdb (Apr 24, 2007 6:15 pm) I am in the throws of a negotiation at Stevens Creek Lexus and they want to sell the car today with essentially the same options that you received for your ES350. Where did you buy your car and who was the rep? Regards |

Replying to: jrct9454 (May 31, 2007 5:51 am) I bought the same package from Hennessy Gwinnett the beginning of this month (May 2007). I got Hennessy Gwinnett to match the best deal I got quoted from a dealership in FL over the internet. Hennessy Atlanta & Nalley Lexus Galleria, were not even willing to match FL's price. As you can see, the same dealership but a different location was willing to negotitate. The out the door price you mentioned was a little in line with what I paid including Cobb county taxes, but I also purchased the spoiler. I tried to negotiate more after I agreed to the price match, but all I got was a free 10k service and a mug. I wish I could have gotten more, but I am pleased. Also, the exterior and interior color I wanted was limited in GA. Try to negotiate more since the 2008 will be out I believe sometime in August. Also try to get a 10k service, upgraded wheels or something as a token of buying from whatever dealership you choose. I have researched various forums where some buyers have gotten great deals with more extras than what I got. However, they have been mostly outside of GA. Also, contact every dealer in Metro Atlanta & Macon. One of the dealerships in FL was very competitive. Negotiating over the internet made a difference for me vs. going in person. Have you tried that option? Negotiate! Negotiate! Negotiate!
