THANKS
FELIX
Called Flow Lexus in Kernsville and within 5 minutes had a deal for invoice (approx $49,000). Out the door price with tax, title, tags, etc. was $50,909.
MSRP: $55,726
Mark Levinson/Nav, Third row seat, towing package, accessory package, dealer installed dual headrest DVD player.
Thanks to the board, especially rale_drvr for posting their experiences.
I assume that the "470" is a GX470. He said it was a 2006. I didn't ask about options or mileage. If I find out details, where's the best place to find the value of this "used" vehicle?? KBB doesn't include 2006 used vehicles? Also, what kind of gas mileage can one expect from this vehicle??
Thanks.
I saw one at a dealer on Friday with an MSRP of $53,143 and want to know what a good deal would be.
I posted a message to the lease section as well, but if anyone can anyone tell me what I could expect as a top Tier MF for 36 month lease I would also appreciate it.
thanks
Yes that is the Toyota badged GX470. I am not sure of the content differences but it should be very similar but wont have all of the luxury contents that the lexus does. You probably wont miss them and will get a much better deal than us poor Americans. Plus you most likely have engine options as the Prado I have been in while in Japan was a diesel.
Got to lover the corner mirror on the non-US versions.
You can get the engine figures off this site.
This is hands down a fantastic website and forum!
I have dealt with transporting classics before but, the prices I've seen quoted in this forum are quite a bit cheaper that what I am used to.
Yes, $630 included everything, and the $1000 at signing actually included the first payment. I have 15k miles per year, but had the option to pay for more. Hope I don't need them.
Jpenni,
You will incur the shipping charges, but you will find that the shipping will still be cheaper than some of the high dealer prices. When I leased mine, my sales person had just sold another one to an out of state family. It was waiting to be picked up by the shipper. I have used DAS ( endorsed by Ebay) for another vehicle that I purchased. They were great, you can track the car like a UPS package. You can request that it is shipped covered and on the top deck, etc. DAS can give you an estimate if you call. My dealer will be happy to sell out of state.
Good luck.
Good luck in your search. I still love the car, and I am glad I did my research here on Edmunds. I have no regrets.

Best of luck to you.
I am in the mid-Atlantic region. Thanks.
What dealership did you buy from? Thanks
Dealer is offering me my truck and 21277 plus tax and 129 doc fee.
GX has:
Nav/ML
Spoiler
3rd row seats
tow hitch (the real one)
preferred acc. package
List 53243
CR invoice 46154 or 45221 with holdback
Dealer says that I can buy the truck for 48777 cash. He is valuing my trade for 27500.
Another out of state dealer offered me a lower price. I went there...200 miles...he lowballed my trade to 24k. I walked and he sold the car. Are these units so hot that they can sell them at a high price??
If the 24k was real money, then my local dealer is selling me close to invoice.
I have another quote of 50k from another dealer (100 miles)...but he has to see my trade...of course..I can't blame them.
Any opinions or thoughts??
Thanks,
Rick
I am considering sending every Lexus dealer in TX a fax/e-mail with the specifics of what i'm willing to buy and the one that mails me back with the price closest to invoice gets my business. Anyone done this?
I emailed Crown, but they do not deal with out of state sale anymore -- "I am sorry to inform you that, we here at Crown Lexus of Ontario, CA. do not have the means of providing service outside the state of CA. for out of state purchases."
Does anyone know if any other dealers (particularly in Southern CA where prices are the lowest) would be willing to deal a request like this?
Thanks in advance!
I got one quote for $47.7 that I was using as my benchmark and (oddly) no other dealer in New England would touch it. I was starting to think that a grand over invoice would be my best deal (my car's total invoice was $46,650). Then when I returned to that dealer they would not honor the price saying that there was an incentive going on in March that allowed them to sell the car "at a loss" so they could make it back on the incentive. And at $47.7 they were losing too much money and wouldn't sell the car. What a load of crap. The lousy sales guy never even mentioned that to me. You would think they teach the 'fear of loss' technique in sales 101.
Anyway, I had a trump card in my pocket that I finally busted out. A friend used to work at another dealer and called over there explaining the story to the GM. He handed me the phone and in 5 seconds the guys says "I have the color you want and will gladly sell it for 47,700. Done deal.
And while I am certain I could have held out a bit longer and got a much better price I had to pull the trigger cause my wife (a sales guys best ally) has been bustin my chops for 2 months to buy the car.
If any of you are in the market to buy the car remember 2 things:
-Gas is going to $3.50 and then some this summer (I'm an energy analyst) and these guys won't be moving any units
at all. You'll easily get invoice.
- Don't let these clowns tell you they are losing money on a car. Even at invoice these dirtbags are making a killing with all the manufacturer incentives. The two biggest dealers in Boston are Ernie Boch and Herb Chambers. It is widely known that these guys are BILLIONAIRES. Not millionaires. You don't need to work in capital markets to know that you can't make a billion selling product at 'a loss'.
Good luck and thanks to all that helped me. This board is very helpful.
Go Redsox.
Given that the 07's are getting pretty close (Aug?) should what is reasonable to expect?
I decided to not wait for the 2007 given that the differences aren't that significant and the price would be much closer to MSRP (at least at the time of introduction).
Did you just walk into the dealer with your price? Who did you negotiate with? How tough was it? You said negotiatioin was pretty straightforward but can you give a little more information? I'd love to get the same deal.
a. Cayenne - Great to ride, but expensive and small
b. Land Rover - My favorite - but the forums scare me .. with the reliability issues. It seems like it is a Love/Hate thing.
c. Infiniti FX 45 - Great ride, but seems small like the Cayenne .. especially the 2nd row seats. The shape is a bit odd to me.
d. LExus GX 470 - Very comfortable and spacious, but it does not seem to be as sporty as the Cayenne or FX45. I know it has less HP.
a. Would love to hear other folks' experience with the cars above.
b. The dealer (SF Bay Area) told me he would give me the 2006 GX 470 (fully loaded) and invoice prices
c. Is it better to buy the 2007 GX 460 ?
