Accident leading to a new ES350
Well my dad got into a pretty bad car accident and all the airbags deployed(six in total). Dad is okay with a lot of black and blue areas but not a scratch on him and a little shaken up. The car is totalled so I decided to reward him with a brand new ES350. Did all the negotiating over the internet yesterday and signed the papers today! Got him a White Premium Plus ES350 with cashmere leather. All the options, Nav, Hid's, AFS, Intuitive Park Assist with Rear view camera and Preferred Accessory Package. The MSRP was 41,615 and I negotiated a price of $36,700. Even with all the problems with the car listed here and having the transmission flare on me personally when I was looking to buy the ES350 about a year ago(ended up with 06 ES330) I decided it was worth the gamble as I want my dad to be in the safest car yet pamper him with luxury. I am keeping my fingers crossed but I am excited about us being a Lexus family now!

Yeah, the internet manager told me this is the first ES she's sold below invoice BUT the bigger thing to her was retaining a customer who'd bought from them before and did not want to see me buy from a competitor. I had just called her to see if she would match the other dealers price. Not only did she match it but gave me another $500 because I was buying a gift for my dad and fathers day is Sunday. That really touched me and she truly gained a customer for life. So I do have to give props to Emma G. at Lexus of Watertown. I have already called her boss and corporate to let them know I appreciate the gesture put forth by her.

Glad your Dad is okay. Nice of you to purchase him a new ES350. He'll love it. And your saleslady sounds wonderful. Only if all car salesmen/women where like that.
