If H.V. is who I think it is, he was pretty cocky over the phone. Sounded like a young guy. He didn't seem to flexible unless I wanted more of a base model. What was the invoice price of your car?

the MSRP was 44,306. they told me they have a lot of premium packages to sell...the price he told me was 34888 for the premium. when i went in they didn't have the color combo i wanted. the other guy i was dealing with didn't want to go down on nav package (with my color combo) but i had him look up the price on edmunds> invoice was ~37500. eventually they sold it for that.

yes, i bought a car they had there. they were willing to sell me at the same price for a car to be delivered at the end of the month, but i didn't want to wait that long.

They happened to have the kind of car in the stock that I asked for. So I drove it away on the same day.

So what you're saying is they didn't want to come down on the price until you showed them what Edmunds says their real invoice is? If so, that's the kind of annoying games dealers are hated for. I can't imagine that they didn't have that price on hand. As if they're going to trust an Internet site over their own data.

they didn't want to come down even after seeing edmunds' invoice price. basically the salesman said he didn't want to go ask his manager for the 37500 because every other person he had asked for was denied. yeah right, like i believed him. i didn't feel like going through all this so i settled for the premium package but with an interior color i didn't like. when i was driving the car the final time, i was a little disappointed i wasn't getting what i really wanted. i think the salesman realized that his survey was in jeopardy (customer not completely satisfied...i wasn't going to select truly outstanding at that point) and then he went to ask his manager for the 37500. i have been car shopping since may and had decided on the lexus since july. i've been in contact with every dealership in south florida and they are all the same. pembroke pines told me that the customers get themselves in trouble by shopping around, countyline just wouldn't budge on prices and were discourteous, kendall lied to me on the phone to get me in and were rude and arrogant, west kendall gave me a good price but it was too far to see whether they were lying or not, and jm gave me a good price with a little bit of haggling. overall i'm not dissatisfied. i had thought that it being a lexus dealership i wouldn't have to put up with these annoying salepeople, but i've learned they aren't called salesmen and have that reputation for nothing. it's well earned, unfortunately. 
a little bit of luck, and lots and lots of patience. hope you get what you want. check out dealerrater.com for other reviews.
btw this is my first car purchase, and boy am i glad it's over!
