When I bought my Pebble Beach a couple weeks ago I found out a way to save a nice bit of money. Get the Lexus Visa Card and they will give you 5 points for each dollar you charge on your purchase of your new car. (My dealer would only take $6000). They also give you 10000 points to sign up. Each point is worth a dollar toward services OR a new car purchase up till 6 Years. They were doubling it to 10 points per dollar but that ended on Jan 2 2007. I saved another $550 on my purchase that way to use for service or toward a new car later down the road. It made my cost for a 2007 Pebble Beach Edition drop down to $63,450. Has anyone tried this yet? They did not explain it very well to me at first. Hope this helps some other buyers. By the way, the run flats are not bad riding. Maybe they made some changes from previous years.

63k before tax and fees?

Yes, I know I probably paid too much but my wife sure loves the red interior. I also traded in my 2000 LS400 with 53000 on it and got $16 K for it which I saved $960 in Sales Tax. So I would have had to sell it on my own for at least $17K or better which was hitting around blue book value for selling it to a private party.

oh don't get me wrong, i was not being sarcastic, i was really asking question on whether that's before tax and fees or not.

that was before taxes and small misc. reg. fees. I guess the Nav. system does not play DVD's like my LX470 does. Why did they lose that feature. It was great.
