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. |

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.

I am looking to buy 2 cars at the same time, an RX400h and also an ES350. I would like the 350 configured with the premium plus package. The quote I got from lexus of las vegas was 38799 on a 41822MSRP. From what I have been reading this sounds like a rip off and it should be much closer to actual invoice of 36000. Has anyone else purchased through them? I am working with the Internet Sales Manager. thank you -c |

I've rounded up a few more quotes on an ES350 with Premium Plus but without the Navigation. Edmunds says MSRP = 38145 and TMV 35662 Cars Direct MSRP = 38256 Price Quote = 35079 Smithtown (via Drive One from Capital One) MSRP = 38711 Price Quote = 34615 (this is the lowest I've seen) Rockville Center won't give me a price over the phone Larchmont (via Costco) MSRP = 38301 Price  36000 Fleet Rates MSRP 38000 Price 35000 Massapequa MSRP = 38661 Price Quote = 34776 (but will match lowest) Boston dealer (via a work associate) MSRP = 38301 Price Quote = 35056 I'm going to Massapequa tonight with a $100 off coupon from their website and a $200 more off when you set up a demo drive via their website. That should pay for the manditory floor mats that they always hit you for. Enjoy, Bob

Replying to: financebuzz (Jun 04, 2007 1:57 pm) Ultimately, I paid $37,600 for Premium Plus with Nav and the other options they come with (headlights, rear air bag, wood steering wheel, preferred accessory package, etc.), plus I added XM radio. Limited availability of color combinations in GA should not be an issue - these cars seem to be coming into port regularly, and your dealer can get allocation of the one you want. That is what I had to do to get what I wanted, and it did not take long, and did not affect my negotiations - we agreed on price and then it was only a matter of when the next one hit port. All in all, in the Atlanta market, I did not find the dealers to be jumping at the chance to compete and negotiate when I shopped my quotes. Could I have squeezed a little more out of the deal? Maybe. But my price was within the range of what I was willing to pay and I was satisfied with the deal, so I went with it and have been very happy with my car and my buying experience.

I was planning on ordering an ES350 with the ultimate package since the dealer in my area (there's only 1) doesn't have one with this option nor plans on getting one. My question is this, if all they have to do is order it, should I expect to be able to negotiate a price at invoice or lower? Or do they not take that approach if they have to order one?
