ok pricing......don't think you'll be able to get this price for the 2008 as it's the end of the year sale and all.....do you not have the Mark Levinson packaged into the car? it should be, and if not, then i personally wouldn't get the car, y, b/c that's a huge option to ignore....both to use yourself and as a selling point in the future....hope this helps...

I also am contemplating a similar purchase. The 2008s seems to be had for about $2000 off sticker and the left over 2007s at $5000 off. That 3 grand "savings" is actually less than the extra depreciation you'll get at trade in time in 2-4 years. So I am going to get an '08 if I do it at all. The only way it might make sense would be if you buy a car and keep it at least 7 years, in which case early depreciation doesn't matter. A car with 100,000 miles, give or take will be worth the same whether it's an '07 or an '08. But a 40,000 mile car will be worth 6 to 7 thousand dollars more as an '08 than an '07 in a few years.

You are absolutely right about the ML package being of great value. There are other fully loaded cars but black/black combination is rare in Houston. In fact, this is the only one at this time and has been since August. If I wait for the 2008, when is the best time to buy and what kind of discount should I expect? I really want it before Christmas.

This is a good point in which I also thought long and hard about. I have always kept my cars for at least six years and this one will be the same. I would definitely buy an '08 if I can get one for $3-4K off MSRP by the end of the year. Does anyone have experience with purchasing in November or December? I vaguely recall a Lexus sales event around Christmas.

difficult to say....you box yourself in when you are too specific in wanting certain color or options....it gives the dealer more leveraging power when negotiating as they probably know this info as well....(btw, don't tell them what color you like!)....in general, the best time is typical end of july to end of september....you wanting it b/4 Xmas is the determining factor in how much more you want to give the dealer....darryl44 is absolutely correct in his assessment of early depreciation on the 07 vs. 08....as i intend to keep my LS >10 yrs, depreciation is a moot point....so the question ya gotta ask yourself is how much are you willing to give them to get black/black b/4 Xmas?????

That's a very good price. I see that Lexus prices are much better in the East and West Coast. I can't get pricing like that in Houston. Congratulations.
I wanted Black/Black so I paid the price, which was $62K. The dealer gave me a clear bra worth about $500. That's the best they could do. Happy motoring.
