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!

I test drove the Es350 and fell in love with it. Tampa lexus gave me a measly $3k discount off the sticker 41322 and the lease price for a 36mo, 15 k lease was $704 per mo with $1500 out of pocket. I was also told to change two tires before turning it in. LExus of Sarasota offered to buy my current lexus 330 (lease ends June 15) the car so I would not pay excess miles or replace tires, and offered the same deal for 636.00 per mo with $1321 due at signing (incl. tax, 1st payment, and dealer fee of $489). I think it is a fantastic deal! ANy thoughts? this is for an ES350 with premium plus package w/ nav, bluetooth etc.

Replying to: financebuzz (Jun 02, 2007 7:38 pm) I basically got a similar speech at Hennessy Atlanta. They just turned me off. I can say I was pleased with my experience at Hennessy Gwinnett. Even though I did not buy from that location, I may still get it serviced there after 1 year. The Gwinnett location is a little too far. I am not far from Nalley, but they turned me off as well. What is the deal with the salesmen Do they want to sell a car or what? Anyway, enjoy your Acura TL. I think you made a good alternative choice. Did you get the same features (nav, etc.) in your TL?

Replying to: newcar28 (Jun 01, 2007 7:14 pm) Sarasota gave me a great internet quote on my ES 350 compared to other dealerships in FL and GA. I think they may be willing to negotiate more with you. I was able to negotiate with them after the initial quote they gave me, but they did not have the color I wanted. However, the GA dealership had the car and basically matched Sarasota's price. Tampa Bay Lexus was a waist of time. It took them weeks just to respond to my internet request for a quote. See if Sarasota can do better. I did not lease my car, but I would think negotiations should be just as good as buying. Good luck on your negotiations. |
