Did you pay full price and can you tell us something about the negotiation?

I'm about ready to order my 2008 GS 350 but could use guidance from people on best technique. I know exactly what I want and am not willing to take many changes to it (I want red, all the options including radar cruise control).

That is the first time anyone mentioned the possibility of chrome door handles. I don't know if I like them or not, but they are different, more like the LS.

No, I would never pay anything close to full price for a car with moderate to low demand in the third year of the generation. It fact, I wouldn't pay much premium for an 08 as the prices will settle to 07 levels pretty quickly.

Negotiation was pretty straight forward. A couple of phone calls and emails to document the deal.

not on the AWD, you cant order it on the lexus website with the ML, and my dealer states that he never seen an 07 AWD with ML. Interestingly though, in Canada you can get the AWD with the ML. Please check the lexus website and try and build a GS350AWD. ML is not even an option.

I have an 07 AWD with ML.

momisamira, I just checked the website and it does let me build a GS AWD with ML.
Maybe it's a zip code thing?

I would think it does from rkb43, especially since your sig says you own a ML gs350 awd.

I must be the only one who buys a car becuase their old one either breaks or theres a major reason to change cars. I don't have the luxury of waiting a few months for a car price to come down. Thats kinda how I ended up with the GS350.

momisamira

Holy $%^& you guys are right, I entered a Jersey zip and it allowed me order with the ML, with my Indiana zip it wont (46530, try for yourself if u like). What the hell is up wiht that? Do you think if I get a GS350AWD from jersey I will have any probs registering the car here (you like not having DRL or something?)

Thanks for the help.

This is known as real time inventory. In other words, no Lexus dealership within a radius of xx miles from your zip has the car you're looking for. It does not mean Lexus doesn't make it.

You can buy any car in the US and register it anywhere in the US easily.

ML with 07 350AWD was a regional thing. In Northeast it was available (I priced one with it when I was in market for one).
