If possible, would you be able to share which dealership is offering this? I'd love to buy the GS - invoice + $750 sounds really good.

If the latter, where? I'd love to get my hands on a GS at invoice + $750

BTW, Edmunds.com has posted the invoice prices for the GS and options (they are "usually" accurate)
Base 4dr Car 3.5L V6 RWD 6-speed Automatic $43,617(invoice) $46,900(MSRP)
Premium package $1,288(Invoice) $1,400(MSRP)
Luxury Package $5,293(Invoice) $5,750(MSRP)

etc....
http://www.edmunds.com/lexus/gs-350/...8300&trim=base
Click on "Price with options"
Edmunds TMV pricing is not really a good guideline. It's just their guess on pricing, its not actual pricing people are paying...thats a big misconception. Dealers are not going to sell a car at invoice at this point in time just because supplies are limited and demand is high for this car.

A quick web search didn't really find much

Maybe I should call Lexus Corporate to confirm - would they know? (this can't be up to dealers, would it?)

P.S. Thanks for the info on the event...
There is a conquest credit of $1500 for owners of other brands. The $1000 voucher from the GS Performance Drive is available to all guests who have attended the event. The event is RSVP only and is not open to the general public. The $1000 GS Performance Drive voucher is non-transferrable.

Thank you for the information about the conquest credit, and for the Sonoma event. Looks like I won't be eligible for either of these...

Regarding my post on the Edmunds TMV, sorry about the confusion - I didn't mean to say that the dealers are selling at invoice. (they are actually showing TMV at MSRP currently). My post was just indicating that the invoice prices are listed on edmunds for folks who want to know what the markup is

I saw the post from faifai83 that he was expecting to get the GS at invoice+$750, so I was very interested in where that might be available (so that I could get one too)

Dealerships in N. CA! You're right most dealerships are dealing at MSRP or MSRP - $500 in the area.

Thank you! I'll reach out to them to see if they can offer that to me, and whether they will do some type of delivery/transfer (without having to drive a thousand miles)

Edit: Well, tried calling the 3 large dealerships in NC - Flow, Hendrick & Johnson - all were willing to come down by about $750 - $1000 from MSRP, but not as good as $750 - $1000 over invoice.
@faifai83, looks like you are a very lucky person to get that price!

There is a conquest credit of $1500 for owners of other brands. The $1000 voucher from the GS Performance Drive is available to all guests who have attended the event. The event is RSVP only and is not open to the general public. The $1000 GS Performance Drive voucher is non-transferrable.




So are you saying that if I go to this event that I can combine my 1500 credit for having a 2011 BMW 535i which was sold with the 1000 credit from the performance event?

I'd be a little skeptical on the reported "invoice plus $750". There is no dealership in the US that will sell the New GS at that price. Not even Lexus employees can get a break on the new GS.

Would you be kind enough to share the name of the dealership that offered this? (unless sharing that would jeopardize your car purchase offer with them?)

Sounds like an incredible deal. Funny but no one ever wants to post up the dealer name or the person they talked to. Is there something to hide? Please do share and tell us if you're putting money down or trading in a car.

Still in the process of buying...will post name of dealership once sales has been complete!

hint: most likely will be >3/3 after I get the $1000 coupon from Lexus corp.
