May I ask how much did the bm list for. Saw one that had molding and it looked very nice.
Congrats on purchase, I'm at point do I wait till december and try to see if one like I want is available then, taking a chance though with '10' model coming in may not be many 09's to choose from.
Will definitely try some in Dallas area. Are you able to individual dealer web-site for say inventory @ Dallas dealer or another source is better alternative.
2009 ES 350: MSRP $34,470
Premium Plus Package, Wood & Leather Steering Wheel, Rear airbags, Bluetooth audio, Full size spare, Cargo net, and Trunk mat (total options MSRP $2,502)
Retail Value: $36,972
Discount: $2,187
Sales Price: $35,660
This is higher than Edmunds TMV of ~$34,600. Can I get a better deal?? Has anyone purchased a car similar to this one?
This was probably a starting point for them, even though most post you see here are with nav. option, if you look @ #'s you can calculate from them the discs being given. Like most Lexus markup is around 10- 10.5 % before getting into options where the real markup can be. Most books, etc will tell you if they( dealer ) can get 1-3 % on veh. it's good deal for both sides, they of course have other incentives that will make it more profitable for them. I'm still in buying stage..waiting on color/pkg but so far I've gotten 7 - 8.5 % disc off msrp between 2 dealers.
Hope this helps !
Good Luck

1. $39200 OTD on ES 350 w/ NAV (MSRP $40,270)
2. $37500 OTD on ES 350 w/o NAV (MSRP $ 37,920)
My tax would be 8.25%. Thanks!!!
that may be true with certain makes/models but not the case with BMW, LEXUS, etc...simply because they dont have to. Take a look at all the selling price pts on these treads and you will maybe see 1-2 were able to purchase @ inv., and these were early in yr. when economy was in turmoil more than currently. So you can take from the bottom or top to reach price point you're looking to achieve, key being knowing aprox. cost veh. is costing dealer, they are a made for profit Co.
Good luck to everyone.
Sorry but Lexus's and BWMs are selling at invoice or better. I got a quote for an IS250 last month at invoice, and that was with zero negotiating. I also received a quote for a 328 for $1000 below invoice. I wound up getting a G37 for $1000 under invoice with my $1000 customer loyalty discount because they are the best value of the three

Offer from dealer $34980.00.
Any thoughts on if I could do better?
Thanks Nick
I just read about your deal, and this is exactly the car that I am looking for. I'm in the bay area but wouldn't mind driving to LA. I called the dealership yesterday and the person I talked to wanted 38,000 + TTL. Can you give me the name of your sales rep and when you bought it and maybe that person might be able to help me out.
I really appreciate it.
Thanks

The sales rep at Putnam is an asian and you can find his details on yelp.
You can also talk to the Internet manager at Stevens Creek.
Another good offer i got was from the lexus dealership in oakland.
thx
Looks like you also looked at the TL before going with the ES. Same here!
Playamdx: i would suggest you look up nick81982's posting on yelp(look at his previous posting on this forum for the nickname used there) and talk to the same
guy at putnam.
I am interested in knowing if the Tampa dealership included Satellite Radio in the preferred package as well as the 50K or 100K warrantee. Was that an OTD price?
May be some other folks can chime in....good luck with your research.

great site for research and current lease rates on many cars. I think he quotes for 15,000 miles, so you can add 3% (I think) to the residual for a 10,000 mile/ yr lease. Get the ES, love this car!!!
Here is my take on the current TL;
1. Nice if you like the shape
2. Sportier to drive than ES
3. Better sound system (ELS premium than ES base sound, not Mark Levinson)
4. Available in AWD
My issues with 2004 TL were numerous which includes fit, finish and rattles mainly.
The current ES is;
a dream to drive
more prestigious
better looking than current TL (subjective)
'A' class fit and finish
more reliable
better dealership experience
a little bit more expensive than TL (top of the line TL versus top of the line ES)
I had also looked into G37 as prior to TL I had owned an infiniti I35. I would rate G about the same as TL in terms of the charecteristics as noted above. I had tried the 3 series BMW and I would rate it as inferior to TL and G ( again subjective)
In the end they are all highly rated cars and you can't loose with any of the above .
Good luck with your new purchase.

Keeping the look of the car aside:
ES was smoother and quiter in the ride(TL ride was little bumpy and my wife tends to get motion sickness. For a sporty ride..would definitely consider the TL)
ES can easily sit 3 adults in the back seat with no issues. TL: 2 adults and a small child(check out the big bump in the middle seat floor for acura..a person would have to sit uncomfortably in my opinion). Not that i have so many folks travelling all the time.
Financing was 1% cheaper for the lexus.
If you want the latest technology, and the above points are not an issue for you, i would definitely consider the TL.
Therefore, the TL or the ES was the compromise. We will go for the ES.

Do you have a contact that you can pass along and please provide any options you may have included in the final price.
Thanks
Total Drive off is $900 which includes 1st months payment
Is this a good deal?
I was also looking at the 2009 C300 4matic Sport with Premium 2 package including AMG Sport Package - i was quoted $565 for 39 months with $900 drive-off
Which one is the better deal? Any ideas? Thanks!
