Hi All,

I live in NYC and looking to buy GS430 within next few weeks ( assuming I will find the right configuration: silver/black, Mark Levison/Navigation, spoiler,17" wheels - $200 option )

I will be very thankful if you could share your experience on buying GS430 in my area. I have no problem exploring beyond NYC, within 100 miles.

Any dealers you could recommend? I heard one can get a better deal working directly with fleet manager??

What are the current price on configuration mentioned above?

Thanks.

Default Great Dealership

Hey,
I bought my GS430 in December with the exact options that you are looking for, but I got one of the few Silver 430s with beige leather (I was told gray and black are now the only options on silver?) I bought it from DiFeo Lexus in Bound Brook, NJ on Route 22 and I paid $55,600 I think, or somewhere in the $55,000 category. The people there are great and know what they are talking about and their service is unbeatable. If you go there ask for Peter Chen, he was the salesperson I purchased mine from and was very helpful in my purchase of the GS. They also have a web site at:
www.DiFeoLexus.com
Hope this helps and I'm sure you'll love the car!

Cool Where to go in NYC

I got mine at Lexus of Manhattan. They WILL find you whatever you are looking for. They are really connected with Lexus/Toyota and the people are really nice. Ask for Janet Mankovsky she'll set you up, tell her John Morello sent you.

DO NOT go to BAY RIDGE LEXUS in brooklyn. The dealers are nice there but the Parts people are a different story. There is this one fat guy who you order parts there. He is the ruddest guy i ever seen in my life. I almost decked him in the face one time.


Other people from what I heard did HIT HIM.

I just purchased my GS430 w/prem option only from Rallye Lexus in Long Island for 47k. I heard the dealerships in Long Island are more willing to take a smaller profit on the cars they sell. Service is quite good as well.

How did you get this price? Was it brand new or had a few thousand miles on it?

I looked at www.carsdirect.com and dilear's invoice was $47,839, selling price $50,889 and msrp $54,763...
