Hey Everyone,

Well, insurance isn't a factor in my decision. To go from the 00 328i to a GS4 would increase premiums less than 100/year. I think that is very reasonable considering the increase in engine size.

Anyways, is there anyone out there with current midwest shopping knowledge regarding ordered 03 GS430s? I would appreciate some general figures such as "so much" over invoice or "so much" off of MSRP. The best I have been told is 3000 off of MSRP. I'm hoping for more than that, not alot and maybe a few extras thrown in for the car that would convince me to go for it.

Thanks for your input.

Also, in reading discussions about the Bridgestone's on the 17" package. Is there any way to substitute other tires as the car is built or with the dealer when the car comes in. For my situation in OH, the Pilot Sport A/S seem like a good way to go possibly.

To give you a price to have the dealer beat, I use carsdirect. Just put in what you want and get their price. If you can't get a dealer to beat it, you can always go through them. The only problem is if they don't have an arrangement with a Lexus dealer in your area. My wife just bought a GS3 on Dec. 31 and got it for 500 over invoice if that helps. Haven't shopped for a GS4 lately so I am not sure what you can get one for but I think you will find it difficult to order one with a big wait, none of the dealers around here were interested in ordering one.

Good luck.

Well, I had checked the route earlier and through them for my zip their price is MSRP to the dollar. And that was for GS300 also.
