#7 of 285 Might be because ... by fogdog88 Oct 10, 2006 (5:48 pm)
When I went to test drive a GS350 they "lost the keys" ... and could only promise a drive a couple of day later . Go figure, but I guess some people do buy a car without driving it.

Replying to: pearl (Sep 26, 2006 12:48 pm) One thing that might be going on is that the discussion was only categorized as "Lexus", so if someone was specifically searching for the GS 350, this discussion would not turn up (depending on how they searched). I have corrected that. We don't have a category yet for the 460.

Does anyone know of a link to a picture of the dash without the nav. system? Thanks
#10 of 285 GS350 VS ES350 by dunde71 Oct 26, 2006 (6:44 pm)
I dont see why people would want to buy a GS350 AWD. Its about 9K more than ES350. Only advantage is that it has AWD and has 30 hp more. Its a smaller car ... rear leg space is cramped ... a big hump between the 2 rear seats .. smaller trunk ... no full size spare option. It does not seem justifiable to me to pay 9k more just for AWD and 30 extra horses with so many other things lacking. Any comments ?

Replying to: dunde71 (Oct 26, 2006 6:44 pm) two quick reasons: 1) no matter how much lipstick you put on it, some will always see the ES as a glorified Camry and won't want their "upscale $$" spent that way, and 2) even if it loses nearly every comparo vs. the other LPS sedans, some will see the GS as a "sports car" and therefore justify the cost that way. There is little sanity when buying cars or falling in love. People can justify almost anything they put their minds to and then argue with anyone who disputes them. That's one reason why message boards like this thrive. Replies to this message: chucko3 (Oct 27, 2006 7:25 am)

Replying to: pearl (Oct 26, 2006 7:20 pm) That's why I bought the GS350 instead of ES350. You can't even tell the rear end between the two cars until you come close to it. Buying a fully loaded Camry XLE still gives plenty of cash left.
#13 of 285 Purchasing '07 GS350 by larry674 Nov 08, 2006 (11:24 pm)
Went to only dealer in LV and was told they do not "deal" on purchase of '07 subject vehicles; must pay MSRP. I've never heard of this tactic before, and have never bought a new car at MSRP, but then again I've never purchased a Lexus before. Has anyone else had the same experience at the dealer or was I just being given a sales pitch? Is a new Lexus that desirable that you have to pay MSRP?

Replying to: larry674 (Nov 08, 2006 11:24 pm) Shop around outside LV. They are probably the only Lexus dealer within a zillion miles and figure they can simply demand MSRP - and, they can because they have no local competition. However, the flipside is that there is nothing that forces you to buy from them. There are plenty of on-line sources of GS350's if you don't mind traveling a bit to get one. You can have it serviced at any Lexus dealer.

Replying to: larry674 (Nov 08, 2006 11:24 pm) I'm waiting on a call from LV Lexus. They are part of a costco program that should deal at 750.00 over invoice. We shall see! I'll update if they do.
#16 of 285 GS350 New purchase by azhenry Nov 16, 2006 (6:29 am)
Phoenix area. Just got a GS350 with ML/Nav/XMradio for $46,671 + TTFees. MSRP is $51,763 (last option on Lexus site in Build your GS). Invoice is $45,671. So I paid exactly $1000 over invoice. Normally they sell for $2500 over invoice in the Phoenix area but had some additional negotiating ability on this one.
