I'm all about customer service. If you don't return my calls or emails, you don't get my business. I still to this day have not received and response back from Mission Viejo. I receive better service at the fast food line at McDonalds.
I agree with you, they do quote rock bottom prices. But if you don't get the service that is necessary to win over your business, why go there.

I live in SF Bay too. Can you mention a few dealer name that gives you that price? Do you through a special channel to get that or just get the quote from edmunds ?
thanks,

I've never purchase a Lexus before, but like the new E350.
Any comments out there about how you were treated pricewise trading in your car?
Hello Zekeman1! yes. It comes with everything. You name it.
Hello SammyS! Sorry for the confusion. Let me breakdown. Msrp 37.9 - 2k off. 35.9 + 1500(chrome rims) + Tax & title. There you go.
What do you think of the deal? Thanks :confuse: :confuse:
How about you? What color/package do you have in mind? When are you getting yours?
"After a month of shopping and longer than expected process of selling my old car, I finally struck the deal at Mission Viejo Lexus. The MSRP is $41499 with navigation and park assist etc., and I paid $36972 (or $200 over invoice) plus tax and license. Beverly Hills and Glendale Lexus came very close to MV's offer but do not have the color I prefer. Longo's best offer is $1200 over invoice, and became unprofessional when the salesman start bad mouthing other dealers."
I used to do a lot of price comparisons on this board but since then, I found a better way. Run an Edmund's TMV on your candidate vehicle and it will give you the price you can expect for the options you want based on your geographical area. The downside of this is that you have to enter every option into the TMV tool.
To mitigate that, just run a TMV on a car with options close to what you want. Then record % under MSRP and % over invoice. You then know that you can expect to get similar deals on similarly equiped vehicles in your region.
I live in FL...However,
An excuse to buy a great car and visit my daughters.....
However, question: Do the California cars get less gas miliage and less power (due to emissions) as opposed to NE or SW or SE Lexus?
Thanks for the answer.
Don't think so. When I sold my 02 ES300 to a gentleman from California, he was worried about whether it would "pass CA emissions." (I purchased the vehicle in Virginia.) Reading the emissions paperwork that came with the car, it indicated that Lexus guaranteed the car to pass emissions in all 50 states, or words to that effect. The purchased confirmed that fact with State of CA. So, I can only assume the 07 ES350 continues with the same guarantee.
Thanks!

I am in the market for an ES, my dealer is quoting me $700 off + for some reason says that there will not be any destination charge and is willing to give me a total of $1200 off on an MSRP of ~41K. IS this a good price for OH area; I am seeing some incredible deals on both the coasts.
Thanks,

Would you mind telling what was your MSRP? Also, exterior and interior color you got? I live 5 minutes from Pohanka, so if I could get a similiar deal... that would be great.
thanks
I recently got an email quote from Silver Spring Lexus... UL package and it was $1500 off MSRP... but no tax, tags, and process ($100). Pretty good.. but still looking for that $2000 off for the UL. Still waiting for the price to drop. Thanks for your info.
Did that price of $38,850 include destination and processing fee? I would really like to buy from Pohanka if possible... since like you, they are only 5 minutes away. That way... if any issues, don't have to drive far. The next closest dealer is Lindsay or Rockville. Did you start your buying offer through email quotes... or did you just go in and get that offer. What was your overall experience with Pohanka?
thanks
The transaction was quick and painless....no haggling and had a very helpful/courteous salesman. I came in with prices that other dealerships had offered me and they beat the lowest offer by a few hundred dollars.
Thanks
Congrats on getting a great deal...hope you enjoy your new ES!
Great information for the east coast. Maybe the market is slowly turing like the west coast deals we have been hearing on the forum. I have heard a few offers now for the Prem. Plus w/ Nav... $2500 off MSRP. Maybe in a few months... we will hear of the first $3,000 off MSRP for the east coast.
Close to where I live.
I will be in a market for one in a few months. Maybe by then they will take $3K below MSRP.
It may be a supply and demand thing, but I got a blizzard white Avalon LTD (extremely popular color) delivered in 4 days.
Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the oil!! Suggest you have a "candid" conversation with the General (not Sales) Manager of the dealership and tell them how satisfied you are..........
