I'm currently in the market for a Venza or ES350 and just curious what you guys paid for your ES350. I've been having a pretty tough time finding a sales person who would cut the BS and just get straight to talking prices. I've been trying to talk to internet sellers but they keep shooting me MSRP and higher and keep on trying to get me to come in to test drive. It's frustrating because I already know i'm between the two and its just a matter of which car is a better deal.

anyways, Price, location, options...... holler!

PS. if there is anyone that is a salesperson for either Toyota or Lexus in the Southern California region or knows someone let me know, no BS..... i buy i buy!

^^^^If that's happening to you, it's because they don't think you're serious. I'm 70 years old, and this is absolutely the best time, in my lifetime, to buy a new car. Dealer's and Sales Folks are hungry to sell cars. Internet and phone negotiation is by far the best way to get the best price. Do your homework to find out dealer costs and incentives. Hang in there and keep emailing and calling. We bought my wife's ES in November for less than $32K. Times are better for the buyer now.

Got mine for just under 37K a year and a half ago. I recently sold it for expense reasons...how I miss thee, backup camera.

well i was looking to get around 33k for an ES, if I can get it 32k then it's a for sure deal. For the Venza I'm looking to get a V6 model for 26k, whatever comes up first gets the deal pretty much. I know these guys are all trying to sniff out the serious buyers from the not so serious so I can totally understand it.... however I'm just trying to buy a car and they dont make it easy.... I mean, you'd think they'd be jumping at the opportunity.

I'm sure you can get the Level II for 32k. Start hinting to the salesmen that you have offers.

do your homework on the web...the economy sucks if you are looking at an 09, the 2010 will be here in sept...push them really hard. Offer them less than invoice...they still make 3%

kbb has the price and option invoice prices...email away to the managers not the folks that have to go to the managers anyway
