Replying to: jrct9454 (May 31, 2007 6:51 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 8:38 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 8:14 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. |

Replying to: devon_ga (Jun 02, 2007 8:55 pm) My TL has the similar features. Naturally, it does not have some of the latest 07 whiz-bang options as the ES (movable headlights, push-button start) but for me I can live without those. I actually felt more comfortable in the TL. The legroom, shoulder room, etc. was similar, but it just seemed like the front roofline came down further into my sightlines than I liked and I felt I had to slide down in the seat for best visibility. Definitely a nice car and very well equipped but I think the TL was a better fit at this time. Don't think I would have made a poor choice either way.
