Default Good Price?

Good morning guys. I'm pretty sure that I got a great deal on my 03 GS3. I just wanted to let others know about the dealer because they seem to be willing to work out the same deal.

The deal was 03 GS3, premium package, heated seats, trunk mat and wheel locks. The final deal was 37,900. I know the other dealers in the general area were all atleast a thousand off.

The dealer is Motorworld Lexus in Wilkes-Barre, PA.

570-829-3500, Jack BUTCHER is the salesman to talk to.

WOW you got ripped newyorker...I got same package with 5 factory chrome rims. Plus the spolier for 38,200 and that was only 8 months ago...In fact when I went to Bay ridge they offered me the car without the chrome wheels because thats rare for them to come in with, for 39,500 with spoiler(no chrome) ....So I jumped at the Ray cantena deal..Thats nuts to pay that much for a car that is going to change in a matter of months which means the resale value will drop. You should have waited. Thats why I even kick myself for trading in my 98 gs for a 2002.

Unhappy

You guys got a great deal.
I am paying $39K for a GS300 2003 premium P. wheel locks, trunk mat and cargo net, heated seats and HID lights. No ML sound syst or Navigation syst, no chrome wheels, spoiler or tinted glass.
The market here in Texas is strong for Lexus and there is not much room for negotiation. I still managed to bring it down from $42K and change MSRP, to $39K. I think I got a decent deal not a great one, but one that I can live with.
I will be signing on thursday and will know the exact MSRP for this car.
In fact they were offering me a GS 300 2002 for $37,900.
So you are getting a great deal if you ask me.
Drive it and enjoy it in health.

Yeah but HID dont come without...ML or navigation...Make sure you know that your car won't have HID......Just beware sometimes dealers try to trick you....The package is only if you get navigation or ML...

Cool

I heard of the HID was not available without the Nav.syst, but I was reassured that this car was built and it was just a matter of allocation. I will find out for sure tomorrow and if it does not have HID, I will kill the deal and go to another Lexus dealer. After making me wait for this car(2 months), if they try to pull a fast one, I won't go down silently. Still the price for this car without HID and heated seat is $38K here in Texas, more than what you guys paid for yours. I wish I was still living in New York City, which I did from '91 to '98.

As far as I know I didn't order this car. The dealer told me that if this car was fabricated, in the next shipment from Japan they would know after the allocation list. If it was never fabricated then they would order it for me and it would take 90 to 120 days.
Will try to post tomorrow if the deal went down and if I got anything extra aside from the first 2 free oil changes.
