With Luxury package and Navigation, plus blind spot monitor, 18' wheels, HID lamps, power rear sunshade, parking assist, rain sensing wipers, wood and leather steering wheel, mats. MSRP $44,668. Invoice $41,600. I paid $38.1K (including the $1K off certificate someone gave me). 41.9K OTD.

Sounds like you got a great deal!

What's the $1k off certificate?

It was for volunteering in the US open. Lexus is a sponsor.

Hi - I'm located in SoCal but would travel for the right deal. Could you share the name of your dealer? Right now I am at about 1250 below invoice - your deal is much better obviously.

Thanks, Bill G

Here in Idaho we only have one Lexus dealer so they are not very motivated to wheel and deal. I had to get a quote from a Spokane, WA dealer to get a lower price. With just a simple phone call to Lexus of Spokane they reduced the MSRP by $1500.00. The Boise dealer matched the deal but I am sure traveling to California, Oregon or Washington (Seattle) I could have got a lower cost but after figuring in travel costs I was ok with the deal I got...however after seeing some of the costs others posted maybe I should have held out for a lower cost. Regardless we loved the car and being 70ish this may be our last ride as we tend to keep our cars for 10+ years.

I agree with other posts regarding the Nav/radio issues but guess we'll just have to live with a few software inadequacies. Let me know if there are any (no cost) updates to the software.

Thought I got an amazing deal when the dealership mistakenly charged my $5000 deposit as $500, but then it became just a regular "good deal" once they figured that out.

sujathagre, looks like a great deal to me, just about $4k off MSRP. I only got $2k off but my ES300h UL was a special order.

That's about 10% off msrp. I wonder how close that is to true invoice. Fantastic deal, but also near end of model year. Nonetheless a fantastic deal that may be difficult to match by others.

mrBillFL

when do 2014's come out?

my neighbor is looking at 300h.

As early as August, and September for their September to Remember event.

Pricing is dealer related. I traveled 100 miles to Atlanta, saving about $5K. Between trade-in & discount off MSRP, local dealership wouldn't compete. I found it helpful doing my research up front and dealing only with Internet Sales.

Does anyone have a good figure for the percentage off MSRP on a "typical" sale of a new ES350?
I am currently in the market to buy one...Thanks

Ricolex: 10-12% should be your target. Check Truecar. Suggestion: Always look for negotiating the the very base model with zero options. The advantage is that the dealer will always have vehicles with some options for sure. When you negotiate a final price on the vehicle - do the math of the % off and then change to the vehicle you want and ask them to apply the same %off. Again the the best deal is possible when you are willing to walk away. They will call you to get your business. Look at car buying tips dot com also. I used Truecar and the tips website I mentioned to get a fantastic deal...Well I could have been lucky that day too.

Best wishes!!
