Like I told Zhan - I would at least call Tony or email him at the Lexus dealership in Plano and get a price quote and ask him what you can work out for delivery. If he won't go all the way to Houston maybe there is a good half way meeting point. Of course if you have a trade-in that won't work.
 
Good luck and let us know what you do.

Hey Pumpkin - what color car did you get? Was it the white?
 
Hey what color did the rest of you get???
 
I got the black with gray interior. I really wanted the IS 350 because it is sportier, but my husband did not. He said it was too small. One of the salesman I talked to in San Antonio thought the black looked sportier in the ES (which was one of the colors I was thinking about anyway). The white car I looked at in San Antonio seemed to be a bright white not the pearly looking white (which I like) I also kind of liked the moon shell mica. Did anyone see the Tigers Eye Mica color??? It's a chocolate brown with a little shimmer, but that's only available on the sports Coupe. I REAlly liked that color.

Price I paid for ES 350 Lexus in Dallas by johnymack
Aug 03, 2007 (3:45 am)

Bought on 07-28-2007
 
I paid $34,500.00 for my ES 350 at Sewell Lexus Dallas. The only thing it did not have is Navigation, High Intensity Headlamps, Mark Levinson Audio, Park Assist, Panoramic Sun Roof and Chrome Wheels.
 
Sewell wanted $1,700 for Chrome wheels, I got the same wheels for $750 shipped to my door from L.A. Wheel and Tire.
 
My experience with Sewell was absolutely wonderful; I did all my negotiating by e-mail with both Park Place Lexus Grapevine and Sewell Lexus of Dallas. Park Place also offered me the same price of $34,500.00 but did not include Window tint, Hand painted pin stripes and All weather floor mats. Park Place did include the plastic stone chip hood protector though, Sewell did not.
 
E-mail me if you want the sales managers name, he was fantastic, it only took one hour to sign all paper work and purchase the car. My interest rate with Lexus was 5.99%.
 
Things I don’t like about the car so far: Engineer who designed interior lights should be fired (Cannot see a thing, very dim), driver side Ventilated front seat works better than passenger side, ceiling is a little low, not much head room (I am only 5’-10”). Other than that I love the car, my previous car was a 2000 E320 Mercedes.
 
Package I – “Premium” - $38,157
- Premium leather trim interior with real wood accents
- Heated and Ventilated front seats
- Driver memory: Seat, Steering Wheel, Outside Mirrors
- Power Tilt and Telescoping Steering Wheel
- Bluetooth Compatibility
- 6 Disc, Single feed in dash CD player in the console
- Rain-sensing Wipers
- Driver Seat Extender
- Carpet Cargo Mat
- Wheel Locks
- Power Rear Sun Shade
- Body Side Moldings
- Smart Key
 
They also threw in the following:
- Window Tint
- Rear Spoiler
- Hand Painted Pin Stripes
- All Weather Floor Mats
   
Total list price of car was $39,100.00……….I only paid $34,500.00.
 
Sale Price - $34,500.00
Sales Tax - $2,156.25
Dealer's Inv. Tax - $80.07
Documentary Fee - $50.00
Deputy Fee - $5.00
License, Trans, Title - $103.80
Inspection - $23.75
  Sub-Total - $36,918.87
 
Good Luck, John

P.S. I followed this web-sight in buying a car and it absolutely works: How to save money buying a new car in 5 quick steps.
http://www.carbuyingtips.com/buyingnewcar.htm
The key is to get a internet quote from the Dealer through Kelly Blue book or Nada.com, this will cut out the middle man (the salesman) and you will save by not paying commission to the salesman. Internet price will always be far less than walking through the door and getting a price.

I called Tony today. He's been very helpful. I am still deciding between 2007 and 2008. Also, Navigation system is very appealing. I will buy a silver ext. and black int.

That's a great price, John. Congrats on getting such a great deal. I wonder if the manager is willing to do the same deal again. It must have been a end of the month deal.

Congrats on getting a good deal! I think I read a post waaaaay back about someone else that used Sewell in Dallas and got a good deal. Just FYI I also got a Consumers Report on the Lexus besides using the Edmunds web sight.

Wow, I heard The spoiler is $355, the tint is 299, the stripe is 125, and all weather mats are $125.
 
That will be over 1000 bucks already.
 
If this is true that is the best price I heard so far.

hey, did u paid $36950 before TTL? or at the door. I can decide if buy new or 2007 preowned but price difference is only $2000 and cars have about 15000 miles. I briefly talked to one sales guy and he has dropped price from $38000 to $35000 on the new car. I read on this forum that someone got it for $4500 off $39000 What do u guys recommend?
Thanx Paul

paja-
Are you looking for a car w/navigation? I know Pumpkin's price is before TTL and includes navigation.
