good luck! took me almost 3 months of waiting for mine! but it's everything I want, nothing I don't need, so don't settle until you find it, you'll be much happier at the end

agree, don't make compromise. everything is slow, but still it's buyer's market

as some have mentioned already, you can fold the side mirrors (but it is not automatic like when you turn your engine off - you need to hit the button in the drop down console box on the driver's side).

the only way to have your mirrors fold automatically would be installing an aftermarket alarm system. you arm your alarm, and it automatically folds your mirrors. this can be done, but obviously this will cost a bit more money. any reputable aftermarket car audio shop should be able to do this for you.

After long talks with another seller, I still could not come up with a price. Of course I heard "well we need to make a profit" but 54k for a rwd 350? I had to pass. They kept trying to sell me an 08 but I wasn't settling for anything but what I want.
The thing that sucks is that there's no other dealer with the colorway I want that's in drivable range. *sigh

key is never let them know you are sooo particular in this combo. when we got our m3, it's the last last white on black 08 in the whole socal. i just told them either they gave me the price i want or i am walking, they gave in

tell them in today's economy, 1k over invoice is what you will offer. at that price, they make 1k off you, and also the dealership holdback they get from lexus.

I got my GS 350 rwd with all options except ML system for $45300. I think they are trying to rip you off. Watch out for the slow dealers who are trying to make up for slow sales by screwing the ones who actually do buy a car

I think I have to go to the other dealer, get a written statement, and show the seller that wants 54k. He bet me 200 i could not find a lower price, wonder how he would feel when I show him.

Would it be too private for me to ask if any of you guys pushed dealers for a gs350 with navi and NO Mark levinson under 46,000 out the door?

When I special ordered mine toy back in August 2006, I only paid $46,500 (including TT&L).

My GS 350 does not have Nav or ML, but it has basic stuff like rain-sensing, AFS, rear-shade, heating/cooling seats, and 18" summer tires. Plus window tint, 5 year road hazard for wheel/tire, and clear bra for the front fender and bumper.

Especially in this economy, you will be able to get for less than $46,000 (including TT&L) for sure!!!
