For another $2,000 I would buy a new one.
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, Nada.com or Edmunds, 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.
Please see my post #743:
Bought on 07-28-2007
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

I am trying to purchase an ES350 in the Cleveland OH area and am running into a roadblock negotiating with the two dealers in the area.
The dealer in Cleveland tried to push me to buy it at 36,625 and at my second visit a couple months later for 36,925. I was annoyed and haven't gone back.
The second dealer I've only dealt with online quoted 34,998 and then 34,588 and they're not budging.
Fleetrates.com gave me a verbal quote of $33,400. But are they credible?
I am going to NJ for a week in early September and was hoping you can pass along some of your contact information when you were pricing out models. I may purchase one and drive it back. I am looking at the ES350 with the premium package with additional items MRSP 37,387.
I can be contacted at Versionjpointo3@aol.com
Thank you for your assistance.
Best regards,
Joe
1st offer on ES350 2007 with Premium Pkg in Georgia is 33,400 plus dealer fees of 430. The advantage to this deal is that they are close to home and I will be servicing the car there anyways.
2nd offer on ES350 2007 with Premium Pkg in Florida is 31,900 plus dealer fees of 599. The convenience of this deal is obviously the price which will be saving us 1000+ but on the downside there is the one way flight to fl and driving it to Georgia 600 miles plus.
Whats a girl to do?
Thank you from hollywood FL.
I agree with Jano2, get the 2nd offer in writing, and then show it to the 1st offer.
If the 1st offer does not budge then you will save $1,500 minus about $300 for plane ticket, food and gas to drive back, so your total savings will be $1,300. The down side is the dealer closest to you will probably not come get your car and drop off a loaner. I would talk with the service manager at the 1st dealer to see what exactly they would do for you if you bought from another dealer. Usually the service manager could care less who you buy from they just want your business. Depending on what the service manager tells you I would than make my decision.
I would probably go with the 2nd offer $1,300 is a good chunk of $$$$.
Thanks!
We are considering an ES350 in Houston, I was wondering what people are getting for prices in Houston, and what the current finance rate is for the summer sale that ends on september 4th. (i have read all the previous posts)
I have heard that the "December to Remember" sales event is similar, but I doubt that any 2007s will be left by then.
Thanks,
Sunil
Which dealership (or city) did you purchase your Lexus from? You got a great price...the best I've found in Fl is $37,500 (no dealer fee). Thanks!

Thanx Paul
I'm in Los Angeles.
Very interested
South Bay?....duh
I'd love to get the number and address to this place.
my email....nyrocketman@yahoo.com
Thanks.
Sales rep Brain Woodcock is a nice guy.
2007 Lexus ES 350 w/Premium Plus Package w/Navigation, Adaptive HID Headlamps, Power Rear Sunshade, Intuitive Parking Assist, Wood Steering Wheel, Full Size Spare, Rear Side Airbags.
My price $37,500 + TTL (Any thoughts on this price?)
Also, the above comes with 7 spoke wheels and I would really like the 10 spoke wheels which I am being told are only available with the UL package. I don't think this is the case as I have seen ES 350s roll around that do not have the UL package (they have no panoramic roof) and have the 10 spoke wheels, but I wanted to know if anyone else has had to special request these or if they are something the dealer can accomidate with the vehicles in stock.
Thank you.
So I think with that starting price there is MORE room to go.
Go....36,995 and see what they say.
Remember now that we're getting closer to the 08s the price will fall more as inventory stagnats.
Being ONE year old even before getting off the lot, its already depreciated in value.
Don't take the price is bottom line BS for the 07s.
Also the residual value you can push to upwards of 55-60% especially on a 4 year of lower lease.
Just my opinion. Seeing prices on used ES 300s with over 50k higher than almost new.
I have a 03 with only 32k and the buyout is 15,850 with only 4 months left. Prices are fetching upwards 21k so I'd rather sell privately.
What I did was suck it up, stayed with the 7 spokes and get on with life.

You didn't pay for the additional options...?
Then it seems a fair price but that's just me.
I would rather have the upgraded packages for the
same price
phone number please.
I'm still looking...have a few months to go but it's better
to start the hunt now. Plenty of 07 inventory out there.
They were offering me the Lexus ES350 Ultra Luxury with an MSRP of $44xxx for $39xxx, which is basically invoice and had I got an even lower quote they would have beat/matched the price in addition. I ended up buying an Acura (would do things different given the second chance) but this dealer is certainly thee one to see for Lexus buyers in New Jersey...he'll beat any price quote you get from another Lexus dealer in the state :shades:
all the options listed were included for the OTD price.
Purchased at Putnam Lexus.
please
thanks

Is that ok?

But also keep in mind that the Premium Pkg with additional options combination on a 2007 will include Bluetooth Audio. It will not on a 2008.
Still, you must consider the difference in resale value between a 2007 and 2008 several years down the road.
Thanks,

Southeastern PA and one in South Jersey. Two have replied with quotes of $41,1 and $39,3 on an MSRP of $41,6. These quotes are so high they are worthless to me. I guess I'll have to do battle with the salespeople to get a price closer to $37 or 37,5. It figures that the one dealer that didn't respond to my e-mail is the one that I bought my 2005 LS430 from.
To gqstyle: You got a fantastic price. Wish I got something close to that. I'd buy in an instant if I did.
Please provide the dealer/rep
and number
Thanks a bunch
