Got a pretty good quote (I think) from Sean at Sewell Lexus in Dallas. It has the following: ES350 Premium Plus (No Nav) Premium Plus Package Includes: - Leather-trimmed interior - Heated and ventilated front seats - Driver's seat power cushion extender - Lexus Memory System to control power driver's and front passenger's seats (except lumbar), outside mirrors and steering wheel - Electrochromic outside mirrors with tilt-down in reverse - Rain-sensing intermittent windshield wipers with mist cycle Additional Options: - Wood- and leather-trimmed steering wheel and shift knob - Bluetooth® Audio - Power rear sunshade - Full-size spare tire with 17-in alloy wheel - Rear seat side airbags - Preferred Accessory Package (includes Cargo net, Trunk mat and Wheel locks) He has quoted me $34,798 for a 36 month lease with first payment down and $599 per month (includes 8.25% Texas tax). Sean has been extremely fair and I believe that this is a great deal but would love some feedback. He was able to lower the interest rate to 7.2% from 9%. Lexus lease rates aren't all that great. Can anyone comment?

Replying to: mmarketos (Jul 03, 2007 12:08 pm) I bought my car from Sean at Sewell with a reference from this site. He handled the transaction like a true pro. You can spend countless hours worrying that you are missing out on money that could be left on the table. I trust that Sean is making a good living but he is not only less expensive but he knows his stuff. Lexus lease rates are not the best, but that is the cost of owning the best car on the road right now. |

I have read many of the recent posts and was curious if any one has had a recent experience in the Tampa Bay area on a 350 lease? Good or bad. Thanks for a great forum and the willingness to share this important info.

Replying to: txsimon (Jul 03, 2007 5:37 pm) if you dont mind......... what package and what options exactly did you get? I am primarily interested in leather with UNHEATED seats, and would like the NAV system with the ML radio, but would consider the lexus version of the nav plus nicer radio. pmpkin

Replying to: pmpkin123 (Jul 05, 2007 1:43 pm) We picked up the Navigation with the Premium Plus Package. The MSRP was $41,322. I think the cars only come with this package and you can not pick and pull the packaging. I hope that helps. Call Sean at Sewell...He has been a great help to us. Simon |

| As a major commuter, I was very intrigued by the idea of dynamic cruise control. The pre-collision system also seemed like a winner from a safety standpoint. When I visited the dealership last weekend I asked to test drvie an ES with the dynamic cruise. The dealer said that in 4 years, he has seen only one vehicle come through with that option and it was an LS. He said that if I wanted that, I could not test drive it and I would need to order it from the factory. This, he said, would take about 4 months. Does anyone have an opinion on this? Is that true that it is a very rare option? Does anyone have it? Is it worth the wait? I know there was some brief discussion about this topic a few months ago, but I thought perhaps there would be some new information available. I was also suprised to hear that the dealership will be receiving the 2008s at the end of July. Does anyone know what is changing, if anything? My dealer couldn't say for sure -- suprisingly. Thanks! | |

| Just wanted to give everyone an update on my ES350 purchase (Premium Plus, no nav) with Sean at Sewell. I actually live in Austin and did everything over the phone with Sean. I flew into Dallas yesterday for a business meeting and then went and picked up the car (Black on Black, chrome wheels) and drove it back to Austin. Sean was on vacation but had someone pick me up from the airport. I was in and out of the dealership in 30 minutes. All paperwork was ready to go and the car had been prepped and was waiting for me. I LOVE THIS CAR!! So far everything is great, although I think I detected a slight rattle in the dash by the drivers side (I am extremely anal when it comes to rattles, however). I am going to give it a couple of days and if it persists take it Lexus in Austin. Sean was extremely professional and worked well with me. I believe I got a great deal on the car and will DEFINITELY work with Sean again. This is my first Lexus, but I can't see myself ever leaving (especially when I compare my wife's Audi with this car...they were almost the same price but there is NO comparison). | |
