I'm searching for a friend here in Fla for a new 08 GS 350 Nav or Nav/ML pkg.
By phone, Lexus of Orlando and JM Lexus were right at invoice on initial conversation. I have looked at other posts but most seem to be out of Cali and not really the same

I saw a post on July sales down 38% Y over Y for the GS models. Sales must be bad in Florida too...i expected this in cali but not really here. Tax and tag included in out the door price. tax is 7% here in No Fla

1. gs350 rwd NAV..no ML
Retail: $49100
INV: $44,015 or $44,247
OTD: $47,286 or $47,700

2. NAV + ML pkg (sale of $5895 off sticker)
R: $52,358
INV: $46463
OTD: $49,900 or $49,500 + free tinting, mats

these seem to be extremely reasonable in this part of the country...any other thoughts about it? I have no worries in asking for another $500-1000 off but not sure if that is possible. These quotes were right off the bat too w/o hard press

$49 OTD is a steal for a GS350 w/ML& NAV.

yeah, I was thinking the same. I beleive JM Lexus (the largest dealer ever) was the one that said they had 60 GS's on their lot. That seems like a ton

dunnojack

not really a steal.

but the price is right..... about 13% off.

they probably only make a couple hundred bucks on the sale

its all about supply and demand, now its a good time to buy.

You should be able to buy a '08 GS 350 easily under invoice at this point.

FLORIDA's 6% sales tax rate makes the price more appealing compare to CA 8.75%. So OTD $49900 is about right IMO.

flipside909

Dunno what part of CA you're in, we have 7.75% sales tax in my part of SoCal.

I have looked at a few GS in Chicago and they are dealing on them here also. I run into my car being an issue also. The demand for a loaded IS350 in the midwest isnt really there. Everyone wants or has the 250 AWD. I am in works with my local dealer on the GS430 and if it works out I will post more info. I actually know someone that sold a base 250 AWD and was given more on trade then what they will allow for me and I am close friends with the owners of the dealer. UGH!

I'm in the San Fernando Valley. Our tax is at 8.75%

it's pretty pointless to talk about OTD price coz' of tax difference, just talk about the price of the car

if you can get the car for invoice that's a good price now

Good luck,Mike.
Demand for an IS350 is the same everywhere in a snow climate.
I hope that GS430 works out for you.
Looking forward to having another knowledgeable guy like you here on this forum.

You are so right economy sucks right now, when I bought mine 07 GS350 withoout Nav or ML (with std eqip + 18" summer tires) for 46k including TT&L (OTD).

Right now I am looking another GS350 with the same equipment as my 07 GS350, so far the best offer I got is 43.5k OTD (from one of Lexus dealer in CA)!!!

Man... even with price increase for the 08 models, I am still getting 2.5k cheaper when I got mine back in 06!!!

Hopefully the economy with go back up soon, so I can make some $$$ on my hobby (real estates, buy them cheap...sell them high)!!!

Thanks Joe

I am working on it with them right now. I am going back and forth over the phone and hope they can figure it out. I just wont give my car away and that is the last issue.

It is very quiet over here
