I am talking to TA in Plano in the morning, but I am under the impression that there will be no delivery charge.
Did you TMV with the options you want?
Dallas SeWell 36700 for a es 350 pre pak. without nav. 2007 model. Is this a good price? Thanks,
sorry, have been working too much...
if you were to get the 2007, which it sounds like you "may" be committed to by now....... i would think right at invoice would be more than fair!
That would make it 36,650 for the package II. I paid 300 over that, but it was an offer I made, and Tony Arthur did not hesitate to accept. But....... I think he knew I had little room to go up. So....... I think anything between invoice and 36,950 is more than a fair price. AND.......... it seems all you would have to do is ask for it. By now there is the summer sales special on, and I think (but not positive) that there is $1000 worth of dealer incentives available to them perhaps? As well, the interest rate from lexus should be good right now? otherwise, what is the point of their advertising summmer sale?
As for tony, yes, very very nice and easygoing to work with. I figured delivery would not be a problem, Lexus gets a lot of mileage out of service like that....
by that I mean, you will tell a lot of folks, and they will actually think its cool, so good advertising for Lexus, and also....... very very good for Park Place lexus to get their name out across state as someone who you can buy a car from over the internet, and not get hundreds of miles put on just for the trouble.
So, sorry it took so long, but jano, sounds like you may be on right track.

no, not that good a price! i got the premium plus WITH nav for36,950.
if u want that deal, check with tony arthur at park place plano. he's the internet guy there, and i got that deal just by email.... he is very laid back, very nice, NO GAMES, overall a great experience!
tell them :which" sent you, not that I get anything, but i was poor, and told him, so it was nice, and easy. Honestly........ if it had not been invoice, I would not have been able to afford the car... so worked out for everyone. specially me
ask jano2 how his experience has been as well.
pumpkin
I put my deposit down this afternoon and the car should be in around Aug. 15.
Is that the drive out price for 36950? with NAV.
Thanks,
I don't mean to answer for Pumpkin, but yes he did get the navigation system, but that price is before TTL.
I also dealt with Tony in Plano and got the navigation system,
(It's called Package II. Look back through the posts and Pumkin listed the packages sent to him By Tony) and my quote was $37,350. Drive out price was around $39,942. I then decided to add the body side moldings for another $350.
I think you should at least ask for a quote from Tony at the Plano Lexus dealership. You can do it all over the internet. It cannot hurt to try. You might be pleasantly surprised! I could be wrong, but I just have a good feeling about him.
Good luck!
yes, jano is is right, if you look through earlier posts you will see the equipment that is "standard" for southeastern region dealers according to tony. I did not put TTL in there or fees in the price quote since not all forum participants are from texas
But they will get here as soon as they can
so, yes, i paid 36,950, and you could prob get it for 36,650 just for asking. Or just ask for the moldings to be put on free LOL
but........ i agree with poster several months back. Its not the couple hundred that makes a diff, its the attitude. And park place/tony arthur have been great to deal with so far.
Tell them jano and which sent you, and Jano, or zhan? if you want to tease tony? ask him why the bottled water is NOT cold for the customers LOL, he might get a kick out of that.

I paid $34,500.00 for my ES 350 at Sewell Lexus Dallas. The only thing it did not have is Navigation, High Intensity Headlamps, Mark Levinson Audio, Park Assist, Panoramic Sun Roof and Chrome Wheels.
Sewell wanted $1,700 for Chrome wheels, I got the same wheels for $750 shipped to my door from L.A. Wheel and Tire.
My experience with Sewell was absolutely wonderful; I did all my negotiating by e-mail with both Park Place Lexus Grapevine and Sewell Lexus of Dallas. Park Place also offered me the same price of $34,500.00 but did not include Window tint, Hand painted pin stripes and All weather floor mats. Park Place did include the plastic stone chip hood protector though, Sewell did not.
E-mail me if you want the sales managers name, he was fantastic, it only took one hour to sign all paper work and purchase the car. My interest rate with Lexus was 5.99%.
Things I don’t like about the car so far: Engineer who designed interior lights should be fired (Cannot see a thing, very dim), driver side Ventilated front seat works better than passenger side, ceiling is a little low, not much head room (I am only 5’-10”). Other than that I love the car, my previous car was a 2000 E320 Mercedes.
Package I – “Premium” - $38,157
- Premium leather trim interior with real wood accents
- Heated and Ventilated front seats
- Driver memory: Seat, Steering Wheel, Outside Mirrors
- Power Tilt and Telescoping Steering Wheel
- Bluetooth Compatibility
- 6 Disc, Single feed in dash CD player in the console
- Rain-sensing Wipers
- Driver Seat Extender
- Carpet Cargo Mat
- Wheel Locks
- Power Rear Sun Shade
- Body Side Moldings
- Smart Key
They also threw in the following:
- Window Tint
- Rear Spoiler
- Hand Painted Pin Stripes
- All Weather Floor Mats
Total list price of car was $39,100.00 .I only paid $34,500.00.
Sale Price - $34,500.00
Sales Tax - $2,156.25
Dealer's Inv. Tax - $80.07
Documentary Fee - $50.00
Deputy Fee - $5.00
License, Trans, Title - $103.80
Inspection - $23.75
Sub-Total - $36,918.87
Good Luck, John

P.S. I followed this web-sight in buying a car and it absolutely works: How to save money buying a new car in 5 quick steps.
http://www.carbuyingtips.com/buyingnewcar.htm
The key is to get a internet quote from the Dealer through Kelly Blue book or Nada.com, this will cut out the middle man (the salesman) and you will save by not paying commission to the salesman. Internet price will always be far less than walking through the door and getting a price.
If my husband had been dealing with Tony he probably would have asked him to throw in the moldings and I should have asked him, but I didn't.
Well now I am excited to get my car. I hope I am super happy with it. That's a lot of money for a car even if you are getting a good deal. I told my husband we needed to save for our old age and not be buying expensive cars
Like I told Zhan - I would at least call Tony or email him at the Lexus dealership in Plano and get a price quote and ask him what you can work out for delivery. If he won't go all the way to Houston maybe there is a good half way meeting point. Of course if you have a trade-in that won't work.
Good luck and let us know what you do.
Hey what color did the rest of you get???
I got the black with gray interior. I really wanted the IS 350 because it is sportier, but my husband did not. He said it was too small. One of the salesman I talked to in San Antonio thought the black looked sportier in the ES (which was one of the colors I was thinking about anyway). The white car I looked at in San Antonio seemed to be a bright white not the pearly looking white (which I like) I also kind of liked the moon shell mica. Did anyone see the Tigers Eye Mica color??? It's a chocolate brown with a little shimmer, but that's only available on the sports Coupe. I REAlly liked that color.
I wanted black interior, but my husband said it wold be too hot. Heck In TX it's gonna be hot if you get snow white!
Let us know the outcome. - That is a good price johnnymac got from Sewell!
That will be over 1000 bucks already.
If this is true that is the best price I heard so far.
Thanx Paul
Are you looking for a car w/navigation? I know Pumpkin's price is before TTL and includes navigation.
Prices on options seem to vary from dealer to dealer:
- Window Tint/Hand Painted Pin Stripes - $395
- Rear Spoiler - $449
- All Weather Floor Mats - $99
They wanted almost $800 for Sirius radio installed; I bought new original OEM Lexus Sirius radio kit for $300 off of e-bay. It’s amazing how much these dealers jack up the prices.
Thanx Paja
I need some prices that others are paying and also the name of dealers where they bought from.
I need a car with bluetooth & Navigation. I don't care too much about the other options.
Can someone please help?
Thanks, John

Should I pull the trigger or wait as prices seem to be coming down. This is from a dealer in So. Cal. Since I am in Nor. Cal, I need to drive down there to pick up the car.
Keep us posted.
The cheapest I got was 37K
She said that 2008's are coming so most of the colors might get sold out soon.
The dealer can ship it for extra $$ but cannot meet me halfway. She will come and pick me up from the Airport though if I decide to fly in.

What kind of prices are you seeing?
Can someone email the information about the 36K deal
My email db2dba_pp@yahoo.com
Saw this forum and decided to seek some advice. Buying my first car from a dealer and need some negotiating tips. Saw several 07 loaner es350s for sale in long island NY, all stickered at $32,995 with premium plus lux package and mileage between 10k and 14k.. dealer said lowest he could go is 32,500.. I initially offered 30K and he basically laughed at me and said I would never find anything close to that and said the car's MSRP is between 38 and 39K. Does anyone know what the depreciation on this could be? The 32.5K sounds like a little much if I've been seeing people on here pulling 3-5k off msrp and since its used.. what do you consider a good price to pay for this and does anyone have any tips on chewing them down? Please help, I'm a young guy out of college and am looking to get the best deal I can! Thanks
thanks in advance.
