ES350 advice by newr

Hi,
I am considering buying a 2007 ES350. One recent quote for a Ultra package is 39800 with MRSP of 44200. Is that a good price or should I be able to get more? I believe the invoice price is about 38700...should I expect them to sell at or below invoice given it's year end?
 
Also, how much is doc fees usually? I've been told $350 by this dealer.
 
Should I keep waiting? Also, am I better off to deal with internet dealers or just walk in?
 
Thanks

We bought a 2007 Lexus ES350. The pkg I got included everything except the Mark Levinson audio, the panoramic sun roof, and the park assist. (I have the navigation system, back up camera, heated and ventilated leather seats, moon roof etc...) and paid $37,350. I probably could have gotten a better discount but I had dealt with 4 other dealerships and this was at least $1200 cheaper than the best deal I got from any of them. Also I didn't have to wait while they went to talk to their mgr and get back to me etc since I was dealing with the internet manager (who by the way was very personable, polite, returned my phone calls, and emails). Pumpkin who posts here used the same salesman and paid $36,950 and got the same pkg I did and like Pumpkin said it was the attitude of the salesman that made the difference.
Extra fees:
Inventory Tax: $74.21
Documentary Fee:$50.00
TX inspec. Fee: $23.75
Deputy Svc. Fee:$ 5.00
Title Fee: $93.80
TX road & bridge$11.50
No license fee and no US luxury tax
 
plus TX sales tax 6.25%= $2334.38
 
Hope this helps.

2007 E350 in DFW by phyll97

Finally bought today at Park Place Grapevine. Did the deal over email. Only went into today for trade in on my old car and to sign finance papers. Robert Champion - great sales guy. Whole experience at Park Place was great. I got white E350 premium plus package for 34,500 (no nav)and chrome wheels for $1250. They will match lowest finance deal you can get. Was in and out in an hour and a half - that's even after driving it and going over all the features. And there are a lot of features!!! I love it!

Got our deal done today. Went to Glendale Ca first and got the run around...sort of. What was promised over the phone didn't come to pass. Also the action was too salesman like...I hate that treatment, soooooo.....
We drove up to Oxnard Ca to the internet dept and felt like I belonged. Great bunch of people up there. Very low pressure sales and left us alone to walk the lot with keys.
In the end....we ended up with the 350 Smokey Granite/Black interior with Chromes for 32,600. Chromes were added for $720 as I bitched and moaned about it being a deal breaker.
Premium Plus no nav.
Very smooth ride and nice and tight handling.
Pick-up felt excellent 272 horses. Responded quick and fluid.
No complaints. I even handed our my business card for home loans and jewelry. Told them any diamond or watch would be 15% above my cost. I almost got 3 orders on watches but they didn't have the numbers.

Thanks kyfdx for the base invoice price. Yes, that will help. I requested a Consumers Report magazine New Car Price Report for the ES 350 this past Friday. They said it will take 5-7 days to be mailed to me. I paid $14.00.

jano2, congratulations on the new ES. By the way, sunroofs are steel, while moonroofs are glass (to view the moon and stars at night, I guess). It's getting hard to find sunroofs nowadays, for those who like steel above their heads.

ES350s in Delaware Valley area by mac1lsr1

I did my Sunday morning scouting today of 2 Lexus dealerships in Southeastern PA. Looking for a new 2007 ES350. On one lot, I found a total of 9, not including the 4 marked sold. The ones without NAV had MSRPs of either 38,202 or 38,252, and the couple with NAV had an MSRP of 41,662. At another dealership 50 miles away, I found 6 on the lot. Non-NAV versions with MSRPs of 36,167 and 38,252, and NAV models with MSRPs of 41,662. At a 3rd (big) dealership in South Jersey, I had the lot scouted for me by a reliable source, who found approximately 30 new 2007 ES350s available. I might get my best deal there, but then again, I might not. Was going to wait until the 2008s arrived before price negotiating, but now I think if I wait that long, I won't get a color combination I like. Just my thoughts.
