#285 of 348 2nd ' to Any Recent Purchases--- by xier Sep 09, 2008 (9:34 am)
Also would like to hear from anyone who has purchased recently ... we are nearing the end of the year and from what I have seen local dealers have pleanty of 08's in stock that are not selling. It appears all of the financing deals are GONE now so I'm wondering what deal's if any are worth going after on this vehicle.   For the December sales event do they usually bring back financing deals - like 1.9?

Replying to: carolinabob (Sep 22, 2008 12:30 pm) How are you finding availability? My two closest Lexus dealer web sites do not have a new car search function. When I use cars.com, it comes up with 2 or 3 dealers for all of Florida that show their inventory.   Is the $8000 before or after the $4000 rebate this month. Postings on clublexus.com indicate they can be had for $4000 (the rebate) under invoice.
#288 of 348 Buying today by pmarsh Sep 24, 2008 (9:35 am)
IMO, the $4000 off of invoice scenario was likely a one time deal, and probably not easily duplicated in most parts of the country. I'm purchasing today through fleetrates.com. I tried to source locally in Columbus, OH, but their best deal was $9500 off of sticker and it was limited to a gray vehicle. Fleetrates managed to get me the color and the exact options that I wanted: Here's the scoop:   LS 460 SWB, Mercury Metallic ML, Nav, Advanced parking Comfort Plus package Intuitive parking assist Lexus Link Power trunk and door closers Preferred accessory package Premium floor mats   MSRP: $75,030 Actual: $63,500 which includes home delivery to OH from CA $11,530 off of list or around 18% below MSRP Around $1500 below invoice (delivered), as far as I can tell   The cost of delivery was around $1000 (included in actual price), but as mentioned, the deal was still better and I got the exact color/options that I wanted (which was really important to me). I just started the purchase process today, so I cannot yet attest to experience of buying through fleetrates. I can mention that I originally contacted two different sales people within their ranks and didn't get a whole lot of follow up. Yesterday I made another attempt and am working with someone who seems to have their act together. I will give out their name and number upon request. Also, I will update the fleetrate experience as we move this forward. Delivery is supposed to take 7-10 days...

Replying to: pmarsh (Sep 24, 2008 9:35 am) Guys,   I bought my LS 460, MSRP $ 75,400 or so for $ 64,500 in S.Cal. Same great Lexus buying experience. Got my color and options. Dealer accepted right away. Could have probably gotten a better deal, but hey we all need each other to survive, right..?   Prices are all over the place. Now is a good time to buy. It's a fantastic car!

Replying to: pmarsh (Sep 24, 2008 9:35 am) Just wonder how much Lexus margins on these cars and how much Lexus is giving the dealerships to sell em under the current economic conditions... (I am sure the dealerships still are making money under invoice) Replies to this message: bmlexus (Sep 25, 2008 1:42 am) pmarsh (Sep 25, 2008 2:33 pm)

Replying to: 787_sam (Sep 24, 2008 5:02 pm) Hi, congratulations, How has the driving experience been so far, how comfortable are you with your car.   Any issues, likes and dislikes?

Replying to: 787_sam (Sep 24, 2008 5:02 pm) It's pretty easy to figure out the dealer margins at this point. Build the car with options on one of the various websites that shows you both invoice and MSRP price. Factor in that Lexus (the company, not the dealers) is currently giving a $4000 rebate at the moment, AND that there is currently a Lexus dealer holdback of around $1200... So, there is basically $5200 to play with below invoice price at this juncture, although most dealers will not budge too much on the holdback.   Between $2-3K below invoice is a great price, while still allowing some (fair) profit for the dealer. The economy is definitely playing a role, so get 'em while they're hot! One other factor for my purchase was there is little difference with the forthcoming 09 models, unless you are in hunt for a AWD model.
#293 of 348 Lexus Discount Coupon by tom17 Sep 25, 2008 (5:51 pm)
I went to a Lexus event in Miami on Sunday and received a $750 coupon good for a discount on any 08/09 Lexus. Has anyone ever used one of these before? Does Lexus pony up the extra $750 for the dealer or does the dealer eat this? Obviously if Lexus adds the extra $750 it is a real discount. Otherwise if the dealer knew about it in advance, they would just reduce the discount to make up for it.   Thanks. Replies to this message: gavrik (Oct 06, 2008 4:57 am)
