After much negotiation - we got a UL with Mark Levinson, and Parking Assist. for $41,900. MSRP was $44,084. I'm happy with this given that people are still paying MSRP at my local dealer. Would have loved to get more off, but they had the color we wanted and we were tired of waiting.

I engaged several dealers within a 6 hour radius of my home and was able to get up to the $2,000 off from one of them. My local dealer then matched this. It worked out best so that I didn't have to travel to get the car. For those of you with only one dealer in your local vicinity, this worked well for me. Good luck.

As most of you know, this is my 2nd ES350 this month.....(read thread "I am a compulsive madman")

SGM UL with all the goodies MSRP $43,769. I paid $38,900.
I took a big hit on the trade-in and double tax, so it all evened out.
I think in the end, with losses included, I paid slightly more than MSRP.

That's life...

Just FYI. My salesman told me that the Ultras are in short supply relative to demand and that they are not able to sell them for $4.5K below MSRP right now.

Lexus of Glendale. They seem to have the best car allocations, and they are known to offer the best pricing.

Well I hope this doesn't affect too many of our northern neighbors...

Aircraft from the Coast Guard and the Alaska Air National Guard raced toward an Asian cargo ship taking on water south of the Aleutian Islands on Monday in an attempt to rescue its 22 crew members.

The 654-foot Cougar Ace, which was carrying nearly 5,000 cars from Japan to Canada, had rolled practically onto its side.

They robbed me on my trade in, so my deal wasnt as good as yours, ES350LUV. I mean, they gave you a hell of a deal! You paid $2000 more than my 1st MSM, but you got NAV, HID and sunshade, which are worth more than $2000 i think!!! Glendale is by far the cheapest dealership because the volume of business they get. Was your salesman Ben Ferrer by any chance?

No...I dont know his name..sorry...my husband mainly dealt with him. I could ask.....

Oh but I did not tell you the reason why. ...The miles on it was 115! They told me that it came from a dealer in Valencia as a trade I believe. I freaked out but my hubby said that he rather have the miles than pay more. Especially when we were not going to have the car for more than 4 years. Even though I disagree on that as well..so it had a reason. I still think you got a killer deal because if I went with the UL like you with all the goodies...I would have paid close to 40k.

I just picked my ES350 last weekend, Tungsten Pearl with Premium Package at Lexus of Stevens Creeks. MSRP is $37,100 and I got it for $33,300 (or close). My out-the door price is $36,500 with 7.75% sales tax. I calculated and it was about $100 over invoice. Got real lucky! Great experience with Lexus of Stevens Creek.

Hmm, I thought Nor-Cal tax rate is 8.25 (or 8.5?).

Thumbs up Any good prices around Ohio

I live in N.E. Ohio and I am hot to buy an ES 350. Prices are tight at my local dealer(they say). Has anyone had any luck in Ohio or surrounding states. I am willing to drive several hours. Thanks

Kaiuss 88.... Do you have any pictures of your smoky granite? That's one color I haven't seen yet and would love to see if you have it.

Thanks,

Jeff
