You will probably get my old ones; I just sent them back to LA Wheel two weeks ago. They only had 390 miles on them.
I paid $225 to have them shipped to TX, what LA Wheel does is they lower the price on the rims and then jack up the price on the shipping. Sewell in Dallas wanted $1,700. So all said and done I paid $850 which is still a lot cheaper buying from the dealer.
I also bought an OEM Sirius tuner off of e-bay for $290 and had my friend install it for $100. The dealer wanted $800 before buying the car and then after I bought the car they wanted $1,000. I asked them why so much and they told me that it takes half a day to install. My friend installed it in 1.5 hours, it was real easy, if you take the side panel off next to the glove box the connection is right there on the back of the radio. Then he put the turner under the passenger seat and the antenna in the center on the back shelf. The whole thing is invisible and the only thing you see is a small black disc in the back window. The Sirius sounds great!
The next thing I’m going to do is put in a K&N air filter and see if the HP and mileage improves.

Hey johnymack, you made me laugh. Maybe I will get your trade-in wheels. That's IF I get the chrome versions from LA Wheel and Tire. My dealer hasn't gotten back to me yet with the chrome wheel price, but if it's close to $1,700 like you were quoted, well then I don't need chrome wheels THAT badly. I'm also wondering how well chrome wheels hold up to road salt, which I will encounter in PA in winter. Hey, it just dawned on me: I can use the LA Wheel price as a bargaining chip with my dealer. The mark-up on things like chrome wheels and trunk spoilers must be very high, I'm guessing.

I just bought a new ES350 in Crown Lexus in Ontario of CA. The price is $36,000 plus tax and lic. It includes premium plus package with navigation system. My friend bought another one at $32,000 without navigation system. Are they good price? Thanks.

What was the MSRP of your car that you got for $36,000? Did your friends just not have NAV or did not have other options as well. I'm asking since there should only be a 2K-2.5K difference in price but he got his 4K less than yours? What was his MSRP? Was that the first offer from them or did you have to haggle a bit to get to that price? What other options were included in your car? Also did you lease or buy? If lease, can you let us know the MF and residual you got? Thanks.

A typical ES350 with Premium Plus/NAV/Accessory Package has MSRP of $40,627 and Invoice of $35,698. Should we be able to get one at this stage under invoice now? Like $35,000 or less? Any ideas? So is $36,000 still just an OK price at this time?

I think you are getting a great deal. I am no expert, and this is just my opinion, but I cannot see them going as low as $35,000 or less. The Lexus is too good of a car and too popular. Some dealerships across the country still are not willing to deal below $38,000 and $39,000.

I ended up going with the GS 350 with Nav. Got it for $44,008. It was what orginally wanted, but the Ultra caught my eye. The price difference between the two was close enough to get back to the GS.
Good luck.

This price sounds great. I just came from Santa Monica and they quote me $38,200.00 (MSRP $41.822.00). Could you tell me which dealer gave you that quote. I want to call them ASAP. Thanks javierpsyd aol.com

If you configure a ES350 on Carsdirect.com with Premium Plus/NAV/PAP with MSRP of $40,627, they have it for $36,166 right off the bat. Thus you should be able to do better at the dealers. I would assume you can get another $500-$750 discount than Carsdirect.com price. Especially this weekend is the last of their sales event. So getting it for like close to $35,000 is not out of the question.
