I saw an other person saying in this thread that he bought it for the same price and hence thought thats the price they would go down for.
I have been in the market to buy an ES 350 with Lexus Premium Navigation, Premium Plus Package, HD Lamps, Parking Assist, Wood and Leather Steering Wheel, Rear Seat side Airbags, Full Size Spare tire, Pref Accessory Package.
The quote that I have got so far is 38200 + 2282 Tax + 182 Tags & License. OTD = 40672. The other two quotes are in the same range. I tried to negotiate 39K OTD but they are not budging.
Is it the Philly market?? On this forum I have noticed OTD deals of 38K in the Virginia Area and 39K in the California Area.
Any inputs would be helful.
Wish me luck!!!!!
Any ideas on the invoice for this car? I'm getting prices of $33000 to 34,500 without any negotiation...thanks for your thougths...
Is this a reasonable price or do I have room to go down further.
Premium Plus Package Includes:
- Leather-trimmed interior
- Heated and ventilated front seats
- Driver's seat power cushion extender
- Lexus Memory System to control power driver's and front passenger's
seats (except lumbar), outside mirrors and steering wheel
- Electrochromic outside mirrors with tilt-down in reverse
- Rain-sensing intermittent windshield wipers with mist cycle
Additional Options:
- Audio Bluetooth® technology
- Full-size spare tire with 17-in alloy wheel
- Rear seat side airbags
- Wood- and leather-trimmed steering wheel and shift knob
- Power rear sunshade
So far the price quoted OTD are ranging from 40,000 to 40,700 for an ES 350 2008 with premium plus and Navigation. The tax in PA is 6%. The price of the car is in the ballpark number of 38,200 to 38,500 and then ttl. I have tried with approx 6 dealers in the tri state area. Tried the dealers in the Virginia area but they are not returning my call based on my address (maybe). I was hoping for OTD of 38500 but the numbers quoted are not even close.
Will it be any different in the weekend? One has only two more days to seal the deal as Sunday and Monday the dealerships are closed.
2008 Lexus ES 350 w/. Premium Plus Package (Rain sensing front windshield, Heated/Ventilated Front Seats and Fron Memory Seats)
Power Rear Sunshade
Adaptive Front Side HID Lighting
Navigation System (No ML Audio System)
Intuitive Park Assist
Color: Smoky Granite Mica Ext. /Grey Int.
Price: $37800 (-Trade In) +TTL
Hope this helps in guiding you all. Good luck! :shades:
I have agreed to a price of $36,928 for PP with Nav. However, the dealer is now telling me there are fees of : $695.00 bank fee; $259.00 doc fee; $5.00 tittle fee; and 118.50 registration fee. I think their 'bank fee' is pure profit for the dealership, correct? Lexus gets 100% of the doc fee, right? Thanks for any help you can provide...
The $259 doc fee goes to the dealership... consider it profit..

If you crunch the numbers to get the 2.9% you have pay 695$ extra so in effect it is not 2.9% apr but more.
Want to share my experience and thank all that helped me in the journey.
Bought the ES 350 premium plus with Navi
Price is 37657 + Tax 2259 (6%) + Tags 182 = OTD 40100
Tried very hard to get it for a lesser amount almost with 8 dealers but this was the best deal.
Cheers!!!
I got a good deal from Crown Lexus at Ontario
Es 350 premium plus package + Nav + HID + Wood Trim + Park Assits + Rear Side Air bags +Power Rear sun shade + Full size spare + Preferred accesory package
MSRP was $42235 , but I got it for $36305 exlcu tax and license.
thanks
I am looking for ES350 around the Northwest region. Can someone give any pointers to any good dealership which can give some good deal (I am ok with a year used vehicle too)? I am in the state of WA but dont mind going out of the state for a good deal.
What are the cons of looking out of state.
Thanks,
Chintu
My license fee was close to $200 odd, and I got special financing I took 5 yrs at 3.9% APR . They charged a $50 doc fee, iPlus ofcourse the tax that is 7.75%.
that was all, I got it for $39600 out the door approx with tax and license.
thanks
The dealer doc fee is just profit padding. Marking up the money factor is also a typical occurrence. And, as you noted, really turns a good deal into an average one..
Just tell them you won't pay that price, and hopefully they will come down. But, chances are, they won't. Dealers that markup the MF tend to stick with it. That killed a deal for me, last Saturday.

Can you please say more about your earlier message "a new es build that retails for about $36,600 including destination. the invoice is $32,920. some dealers were willing to go as low as $31,920, or $1000 below invoice"
What is this new ES build called? How do i find one?
I want a non-leather ES350 and am having a hard time..any help is deeply appreciated. Becuase of not being able to find one, i have started to look at accords and camrys now..
We finally bought the ES250 with Premium Plus (no Navi) at Sewell Lexus.
Price was 33800+ Tax 2112 (6.25%) + Tags 258 = OTD 36,170
The whole experience with Sewell Lexus was very pleasant. Thanks to all in this message board who helped us through this search.
2009 ES 350 w/premium plus package(no nav) is cheaper by approximately $800. They have increased the base MSRP by $200 but reduced the premium plus package by $1,000. Premium package is no longer available.
Anyone know of any major difference between 08 and 09?
Next time when I am ready to buy a Lexus, I'll wait for third model year so that the bugs are worked out and can buy the car for thousands less. :shades:
The best offer I've got is $36519 + TTL. The dealer claims this is $1000 below invoice. Looking at past posts this seems like a good deal but I'm just wondering if its good enough considering the 09 ES is ony a month away from coming in.
Thanks!!
