i did my calculations. and when told me what my payment was i agreed and drove down last nite to pick it up. i was there for less than an hour. i made sure the guy had it all ready and i wasnt going to take any bs if they were to make any changes to the numbers in the contract.
the only reason i got such a good deal w/ b/c he didnt have the car i wanted. i didnt want the xm. i wanted nav/ml. so he only had the only w/ all the things i wanted and xm so he said he would throw it in. so yes, i did. and im happy the shopping is over. dealing w/ salesman/managers whatever was a little stressful. especially being a chick didnt make it easy either. most of the guys where like wow, ive never had a customers ask me questions like u did. hahaha they were like, "im gonna take u w/ me when i buy a car" hahaha right!

Let me guess...
Demo car, right?
Even for Chrysler on volume of 20+ cars a month couldn't go below $300 under invoice (and trust me they are very hugnry for our account).
... and Lexus... $1189 under invoice? No way!
Gotta be a demo with about 6k+ on the clock.

In Cali, we have cheaper prices. In NY, you could say no way.
Don't look at it as "XXXX under invoice". Look at the % discount. 14% is not unreasonable at this time of the year..... IN CALIFORNIA, where there are 10000 dealerships competing.
The "invoice" is inflated. So 1189 under sounds like a lot, but isnt.
I got mine 2 months ago for something like ~$900 'under invoice', fresh off the boat.
A good negotiator can get a great price. These cars are overpriced, so you need to go for the fattest discount.
...... and chrysler will always suck..

hi, i finally did it. the dealers ended up calling me back. a few of them today. a couple of them yesterday. i ended up one w/ the xm nav/ml MSRP of $51763 all for $44482. w/ the MF of .00085. yay!!! that was the best deal i got...i dealt w/ atleast 5 different dealers and none was as good as this. so i did it...and now, the headache is over. i still couldnt find anyone w/ the mf of .00125...nowhere! but im glad the search is over...i want to thank all of u guys for all of ur help. its has been sooooooo verrrrryyyy helpful.
thanks a million!
thanks a million!
Lisa,
I have reservations regarding these numbers.
The MF and residual is established by Lexus Financial and is not negotiable (unless your dealer is using another institution for funding which I doubt considering at 3%, no bank would fund a lease at that rate). Current MF (as of 7/18) is 0.00125 with a 48% residual. I'm curious...what is the term (and monthly cost) of your lease and how much (if any) cap cost reduction did you contribute?

I don't believe the MF is set in stone. Most dealers mark it up, and make a profit on it. For the three dealers I talked with, they all said the buy rate was .00165, and they were offering it to me at .00265. I ended up working it down to
.00195, and thats it. They wouldn't go any lower, and I have perfect credit. So, I am assuming that a MSD is 'multiple security deposits'? What is the difference between that and a down payment? Do you get that back at the end? What happens if the car gets totalled?

OK, newbie here, read a lot of good info here. To make a long story short, I have an old X-type (don't laugh) that's on it's last legs, so I need a new car. Seriously considered BMW 335xi, but am now decided on the GS 350 awd. I'm still in research mode but here is an internet quote I got from a local dealer here in the Cleveland area:
Internet Price - $*
A new 2007
GS 350 AWD with a navigation pkg MSRP of 50,596.00 , Colors Black / Black leather
Black / Gray leather , Black / Tan leather , Black Sapphire ( Dark Blue ) / Tan leather ,
Smokey granite / Black leather.
Buy for 47,805.00 plus doc,tax,plates,fees, I have 5.9% with Lexus thru 7/31 WAC no fees
I am financing, already have a 6.2% with my old credit union, so my questions to those of you with experience is how do I proceed from here? Do I counter, do I wait a couple of days before contacting the internet manager, if I buy, do I stay with my old reliable CU or negotiate an even lower rate than the 5.9% quoted? Hope these questions aren't too annoying and thanks for your input.

do they have a good supply of AWD models? how many dealerships are in ohio?
It's probably a lot harder to negotiate in your state.
I would call around, and then counteroffer. Don't take a break until after you've counteroffered several managers.
