PS, most Credit Unions have a buying service that can get you very close to invoice (unless you want the Lexus lease rates) , and you will never even have to set foot in the door of the dealership.
Good luck.

vickruc - thanks for the details on your purchase.
MSRP 52910
Paid 45105
Nearly 8000 off MSRP.
1200 below invoice, I believe (someone corrects me if I am wrong).
Both dealers of course in Southern California. 1200 below invoice is definitely doable especially *IF* dealer has car that you want on his lot. Hope this helps & good luck.
I see someone got it for $1200 below Invoice in So. Cal. Is there an email that someone can send me to my account? Will really appreciate it.
Thanks

I considered looking at used GX's but 2006 wholesale prices are around $40k - so it is better to buy new in this case.
Also, considering the 2007 BMW X5 - but leaning more towards the Lexus.
Here are the package codes on the car: DD,E5,MZ,NL,RI,TH,TO,Z1 for $47,975 (MSRP $56,086). I called him back and he said if I was ready he was willing to negotiate.
Hoep that helps. I am still waiting for quotes from local dealers.
from Glendale: Here are the package codes on the car: DD,E5,MZ,NL,RI,TH,TO,Z1 for $47,825 (MSRP $56,086).
From Pleasanton Lexus: Here are the package codes on the car: DD,E5,MZ,NL,RI,TH,TO,Z1,BL,DH for $49,642 (MSRP $56,618).
For the first one I have to go to So. Cal to get the car. Need to decide soon.
People buying a Lexus in this area are mostly uneducated on what deals are actually available out there. Dealers are not going much past a few thousand below MSRP if you are lucky.
I'm going to Chicago to see if I can get a better deal.
My $0.02. You can get it shipped from Southern California. A friend of mine also bought from there who lives in Colorado. Since they are asking for $1000 below invoice, it is worth the effort.
Pretty sure the shipping can't cost more than $800-$900 (or even lesser). If you are interested I can give you the contacts that I am purchasing thru. Please send me an email to my account and I will give the details (I cannot give it here as we are not supposed to give out details in the forum)
NL RI SP TH TO Z1 DD P7 WF
MSRP was $57,616
Final Sale was $51,500
Got it from Woodfield Lexus in IL. Having it shipped down here to St. Louis MO for $275.
Could email me the details of the purhasae if possible. I am in Seattle and plan to ship the car from CA.
Please send me an email using the forum email. I will send you the contact details in that. All the dealers are in Los Angeles area and they should be able to ship the car to you in Seattle.
Thanks
you write to me at 123.dss@gmail.com. Thanks for your time!
I am looking for a 2007 GX470 in the Los Angeles area. I would really appreciate for any contacts who can offer good price on the SUV.
Thank you very much,

I am looking for an 07 GX in Central NJ. I found one at Lexus of Bridgewater, but they would only meet my price of $47800 with NL,Z1,C1,WL,E5,TH, if I took it in black which I didn't want - I wanted White or Blue. I guess the other colors can fetch better prices, and despite a semi-relationship with the sales mgr, that was the best they would do (after we spent about 2 hours in the dealership).
Does anyone have any better experiences..? Seems like there are LOTS of them on the lots..
Thanks
ED
Please send the exact package codes and I can tell you what the car will cost approximately here in Calif.
Thanks,
Finally a dealer did a factory order with the options that I wanted and took delivery of the car last Saturday (ofcourse no KDSS and XM).
Please let me know if you have questions

thanks
thanks much
Thanks..
By reading this forum, I feel the MF is good but am worried that the residual is low. With the entertainment package, shouldn't it be higher and around 56%? That of course would make a big difference in payments. Any one know of another leasing company or bank offering better MF or residual?
This forum has been a great reference source, much to the dismay of the dealer!! Thanks for helping the little guy win one!
Congrats for the new vehicle and also helping out members of this forum. I am interested in the car with the NAV and the rear seat entertainment (DVD). Could you please email me the dealer information. My email id: sengopalcricket@yahoo.com
Thanks for the help
Please check u'r emails. Sorry was out of town so could not reply earlier
I listed everything in my original note, BUT here ya go..
MSRP
Base MSRP - $46,635 +$ 715 Deliv
NL - Nav/Mark Lev - $3,250
TH - 3rd Row w/AC -$2,030
BL Cargo Tray - $99
C1 Cargo Mat - $92
WL Wheel Locks - $79
Total -$52,900
OFFERED TO ME FOR $ 47,300

Thanks

1) Go to the local dealer and say that if he can give a car with couple hundred under invoice he has your business
2) Else send me your email and I will send you the contacts of dealers here in So. Cal that can ship you a car for the prices I mentioned earlier.
Personally I wouldn't do business with a Lexus dealer who is not ready to sell under invoice. Hope this helps
So here is what your actual invoice should look like:
Invoice MSRP
Base Price* $40,571 $46,635
Selected Options $4,419 $5,550
Destination Charge $715 $715
Levinson Audio Package $2,633 $3,250
ThirdRow Seat/ Rear Air $1,624 $2,030
(PIO) Wheel Locks $49 $79
(PIO) Carpeted Cargo Mat $55 $92
(PIO) Cargo Tray $58 $99
Total* $45,705 $52,900
TDA (Toyota dealer Adv fee) $583
Dealer Invoice Total $46,288
So If your dealer is selling you at $47,300 he asking for $1012 over his invoice. Remember he still has a dealer holdback and Wholesale reserve in excess of $1300 even if he sells you at his $46,288.
A couple of points:
1) How do I get the actual Invoice? Ask I always say that since I want to get a fair deal, I need to see the actual invoice of the car that I want to buy. Most of the times they just email or scan and send it to you. that is how I was able to come up the prices above (saw my invoice and added your package prices)
2) Is the TDA negotiable? In my opinion yes but since it is early in the year and dealers are very bullish that they can sell the cars they are in no mood to negotiate. Since I got is way below invoice I was OK.
3) If you are comfortable with that price and no one else is giving that price go for it. I would personally get the DVD player if I go for a Third row seat. However you can get the car shipped with from Calif. with more options at a price below invoice.
4) With my experience (other members who bought in Calif. can chime in) you will not find a similar car in Nor./So. Cal. The reason is that any car with TH (third row seat) also comes with RI (rear 9" roof DVD player), Z1 (includes C1, GN, Wl), TO (Towing ready), DD(Rear Spoiler).
Please send me your email id and I can send you the details or you can ask others who have received the dealer contacts from me to send it to you.
Hope it helps and all the best with your purchase.
I've used BT Express Auto Transport a couple of times and had good look.
