I got a quote from Lexus Stevens Creek for the exact same configuration for $37,262, which is about $1,200 higher than yours! I'll try to get them to match the price if possible.

Prices Paid in las vegas area by csquat

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

More quotes from NY Long Island by rmcneice

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

Re: Advice on Pricing in Atlanta (Prem. Plus Pkg., Nav) [financebuzz] by atl_buyer

I actually had a very positive experience at Hennessy Atlanta - I dealt with multiple people, and all of them were very professional and helpful. No one was ever condescending, and they did negotiate without giving me any speeches. It was actually Nalley Galleria that I had a less than stellar sales experience with - salesman didn't seem to take me seriously, and dumped me after my test drive, ironically leaving me standing right next to a framed article on the wall about how important it was to them for women to have a positive buying experience (I am female)!!
 
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.

Glad you had a positive experience and got a deal you were satisfied with. It could very well just be the individual that gave me the speech. To be fair, the two salespeople and the sales manager I spoke with while there to check out the car were quite friendly.

Price when ordering by 93hog

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?

They will still want to make as much of a profit as they can, and will still have a sales commission to pay since a sales person will have to handle your order and delivery - if it were that simple to get invoice or below, everyone would order and they'd never sell anything off their lot. So, you will still have to negotiate for the best deal you can get.

Try the Lexus dealership in Orlando...They beat all the other local dealers in Florida by 500.00 when I was buying my ES350. Ask for Dawn!!!
