I think that's a good price. I was quoted $37,500 driveout. However, the price should decline more as the 2008's are coming out soon. Not sure about the amount though.

I have not talked to TA out from Plano yet. We keep missing each other. Looks like Zhan out of Austin is getting the same pkg as you and his quote is about $778 less. What car dealership are you dealing with in Houston?

Jano,
 
sorry, have been working too much...
 
if you were to get the 2007, which it sounds like you "may" be committed to by now....... i would think right at invoice would be more than fair!
 
That would make it 36,650 for the package II. I paid 300 over that, but it was an offer I made, and Tony Arthur did not hesitate to accept. But....... I think he knew I had little room to go up. So....... I think anything between invoice and 36,950 is more than a fair price. AND.......... it seems all you would have to do is ask for it. By now there is the summer sales special on, and I think (but not positive) that there is $1000 worth of dealer incentives available to them perhaps? As well, the interest rate from lexus should be good right now? otherwise, what is the point of their advertising summmer sale?
 
As for tony, yes, very very nice and easygoing to work with. I figured delivery would not be a problem, Lexus gets a lot of mileage out of service like that....
 
by that I mean, you will tell a lot of folks, and they will actually think its cool, so good advertising for Lexus, and also....... very very good for Park Place lexus to get their name out across state as someone who you can buy a car from over the internet, and not get hundreds of miles put on just for the trouble.
 
So, sorry it took so long, but jano, sounds like you may be on right track.

zhan--
 
no, not that good a price! i got the premium plus WITH nav for36,950.
 
if u want that deal, check with tony arthur at park place plano. he's the internet guy there, and i got that deal just by email.... he is very laid back, very nice, NO GAMES, overall a great experience!
 
tell them :which" sent you, not that I get anything, but i was poor, and told him, so it was nice, and easy. Honestly........ if it had not been invoice, I would not have been able to afford the car... so worked out for everyone. specially me
 
ask jano2 how his experience has been as well.

I knew you said you were getting the car for $300 over invoice, but I wasn't sure if $36,950 was invoice or the total. You are getting a little better deal than me, but it is close. Before I added the side moldings the price was $37,350, but now it's $37,700. What Tony told me about the molding is that they were standard equipment for the first 3 months and then customers wanted rear air bags and full size spares. To keep cost down they took molding off and added the spare and air bags. He also said on Edmunds they say the price for moldings is $199, but they does not include the labor to put the moldings on at the dealership. Now if you tell me your cost included the side moldings I might think I didn't get such a good deal, but I am happy so far.
I put my deposit down this afternoon and the car should be in around Aug. 15.

Hey Zhan,
 
I don't mean to answer for Pumpkin, but yes he did get the navigation system, but that price is before TTL.
 
I also dealt with Tony in Plano and got the navigation system,
(It's called Package II. Look back through the posts and Pumkin listed the packages sent to him By Tony) and my quote was $37,350. Drive out price was around $39,942. I then decided to add the body side moldings for another $350.
 
I think you should at least ask for a quote from Tony at the Plano Lexus dealership. You can do it all over the internet. It cannot hurt to try. You might be pleasantly surprised! I could be wrong, but I just have a good feeling about him.
 
Good luck!

zhan,
 
yes, jano is is right, if you look through earlier posts you will see the equipment that is "standard" for southeastern region dealers according to tony. I did not put TTL in there or fees in the price quote since not all forum participants are from texas
 
 But they will get here as soon as they can
 
so, yes, i paid 36,950, and you could prob get it for 36,650 just for asking. Or just ask for the moldings to be put on free LOL
 
but........ i agree with poster several months back. Its not the couple hundred that makes a diff, its the attitude. And park place/tony arthur have been great to deal with so far.
 
Tell them jano and which sent you, and Jano, or zhan? if you want to tease tony? ask him why the bottled water is NOT cold for the customers LOL, he might get a kick out of that.

Pumpkin- I will ask Tony about that water- I will let you know about his response. I should be talking to him again today.
If my husband had been dealing with Tony he probably would have asked him to throw in the moldings and I should have asked him, but I didn't.
Well now I am excited to get my car. I hope I am super happy with it. That's a lot of money for a car even if you are getting a good deal. I told my husband we needed to save for our old age and not be buying expensive cars
