Could someone give me a list of the largest volume Lexus dealers around the NYC area, let's say within an hour's driving distance. I'm guessing that the largest volume dealers will give better discounts off of MSRP so I wanted to contact those dealers for my next car. Thanks.

Manhattan/Bay ridge are the biggest and closest around, however they have the highest prices
Rallye + prestige both do good volume and if you work them right will give you the best price

Highest volume dealers do have more room to work with you because they get a rebate as to how many cars they sell (most manufacturers) but, it might not always be that the biggest volume dealer will give you the best price as some others might just be having a bad month and are desperate to get cars out. If I were you, id take the following steps:
1 - pick the car you want and find out which dealer has it in stock
2 - if you could, find out the "hold back" % on the car (1.5%-3% depending on manufacturer) if you cant find out, go with 2.0% to be sure
3 - if financing, know your credit score and find out the best interest rate
4 - go to the dealer and pick the car, ask for the invoice, then hit them 2% + $500 under that
(i.e. Car is $50,000 invoice - $1000 (2%) - $500 = $48,500) INVOICE PRICE, not MSRP
5 - know what rebates/programs are available for that manufacturer/model at the time of purchase
6 - best time to go is the last few days of the month
7 - do not buy anything from F&I and make sure they dont charge you over the interest you can get

Go to Ray Catena Lexus in NJ, its much larger than Bay Ridge, i think they are the largest dealer in the tristate area.

Their prices are much better also. I got my 05 GS300 from them and my parents got the LS430 from them recently, Bay Ridge is very close to me but they didnt even come close to matching the price.

yes Ray Catena is larger than Bay Ridge in real estate but not in volume of cars delivered. Like i said though, Bay Ridge is always looking to make the most money they can off of every car. Ray Catena buys his cars in cash, no floor plan, meaning no interest therefore they have more room to work with you.
