Hello everyone! Just joined the forum and anxiously waiting to take delivery of my first Lexus. Starfire pearl with Ultra-Luxury Package and Navigation System/Mark Levinson Package. Dealer had an Obsidian one in stock, but I've always like white pearl cars and he was able to locate one.
I had a trade in of an Acura TL, and easily negotiated the sticker from $43,985 to $41. I felt ok with the price being it appears the UL is a bit hard to get.

Does everyone seem happy with their 2010 ES, any complaints?

Looking forward to learning from and contributing to the forum here!

You will love this car. I have a 2010 UL for a demo now and the car is like to me a mini LS withouth the payment. Your pretty close to invoice on you car.About 800 over. UL are hard for dealers to unload so they will always give you a good deal on them. Honestly they don't want them The typical ES customer would buy the car without a sunroof if they could. I am really impressed with the car. Before this I would always take IS or GS for demo cars but when I saw this one come in with the two tone interior I jumped on it. If you get the black interior you get the two tone seats. The new NAV allows you to change your personal settings without going to the dealer. To me it's night and day between the 07 and this one. Everything in the car seems to be a lot more higher quality. Even radio controls aren't rubber anymore on the wheel. Well good luck with it and the white will make the roof pop out.

My wife and I just purchased 2010 Starfire Lexus ES with premium option, no nav, no HID for 3k off the MSRP minus our trade in. This is our 2nd ES, and we already fell in love with this car. So quiet and rock solid. No complaints here

By the way, our old 2003 ES300 had 105K and broken front bumper tab plust scuffs and scratches all over the vehicle, but our dealership still gave us 9K for it. Gotta love the Lexus's resale value.

It really is very solid now and I think it drives as nice as the LS. I do understand mine has under 1k on it but it is so smooth. Also it could be that my last demo was a GS with runflats.

Great to hear people love the car. I have the Starfire coming with parchment interior. I just have a thing for that color combo. My TL trading in, and my wife's MDX are both that too. Guess I don't like change. lol

The sticker on your UL was only $43,985? Wow, did they lower the price for 2010?

I bought my UL a few years ago and the sticker was just a tad over $45K. I ended up paying $500 over invoice (which was around 39K something).

RichardNJ

I don't have my paperwork in front of me but the base was $34800, $875 delivery, Navigation System/Mark Levinson Package $4,065, UL package $3,535.
That's $43275. Then there were a few hundred for tire locks, mats, and some other stuff.

My dealer just told me a new 2009 was about $600 higher than the new 2010. Said there was a price decrease for 2010. --------------------------------------I am currently quoted $34,866 for a 2010 with a sticker of $37,875 and destination is included. So I am getting about $3,000 off the sticker price. I think if I can get it for another $500 lower I will proceed. Has anyone heard of a better deal?

I doubt it because you're at about $700 over invoice with that $3K off a $37875 list..
Try it,all they can say is no or maybe take another couple of hundred off..

Are you trading in any vehicle? That was the same quote I got and i thought 3k off 2010 model was a good deal. Plus, I have $500 more on my trade in compared to other dealers quotes.

RichardNJ, what year was your TL? Any problem you had with that car?

07LexusGuy

That's interesting - maybe the sonar parking sensors aren't on there(?)

Anyways, congrats on your purchase, you'll love the car.

I will hit them with a trade in at the last moment, after we have reached a deal on the car price itself. I have a really good trade car, mint and hard to find Honda EX-L coupe 6 cyl. and 6 stick, every possible option. So we will see about that.------------------- What really slays me is that many dealers, on Ebay and so forth are asking more money for a 2 year old CPO as a brand new car? How does that work? They want $36K for a 2008, and I can buy a brand new 2010 with the same or More options for $35,000! Huh?

RichardNJ

My TL is an 05, 38K miles, navi, great condition, no problems. Loved the car. Still driving it now until my ES comes in hopefully in a week.

RichardNJ

Has parking assist. Don't know if that's the same thing. Thanks!
