In Southern California; it's really hit/miss. Lexus Santa Monica: "If you can get it for 45K buy it."
Other dealerships' inventory was really limited.

I was looking for White/Parchment Lthr and found mine at Lexus San Diego. I got $2K off MSRP, not including $695 destination charge so almost $2700 off MSRP; or about $500 over invoice. LSD through in free tint, $100 in accessories.

Issue is more availability; Other dealerships had inbound cars from Japan but due in Oct/Nov.

Sounds like a good deal

Default Deals/Options.

I just got offered $3K down for a 27 month lease with 10k miles for $329. Does not make sense to me personally. Also, do you all think its worth getting the NAV anymore? considering the fact every car has to have a standard back up cam now per law and bluetooth is standard as well. Also, the new iPhone/iPad with the new iOS 6 have a really good MAPS app now. The only thing i am waiting for them to get back to me is about the APP SUITE if its only avail in NAV package or not.

I use my Droid Razor for Nav. Free updates and seems to be more accurate than other systems.

Default Msrp

I just ordered the ES300h and paid MSRP. My dealer refused to negotiate saying they are on allocation. They are willing to negotiate if I want the GS350.

I paid 750.00 over invoice for my 300h. I was actually expecting to pay sticker. I guess they liked me :-)

Has everything but the ML. Yes, they had to trade for mine. The two there didn't even have NAV.

Default MSRP and MSRP plus,,,,

We bought our new ES on August 31st from a dealer closest to us (Va.) in North Carolina .We already had visited another dealer also within another hour to find that they added ADM stickers to all inventory which I didn't care for .The first dealer told us that all dealers do this because there's not much markup from the factory MSRP.The dealer we bought from did not put on ADM stickers.I negotitiated a deal with them I was comfortable with and shook hands(trade involved)but at that time there were several on the lot and it was the end of the month too! Anybody else seeing this practice ??

Try to always buy at the end of the month. Better chances for u to get a good deal.

I would not buy any car from any dealer with an ADM sticker. To me this is price-gouging, high-demand vehicle or not. While I would not expect to get anywhere near as good a deal as on a slow-selling car, I would never pay any Additional Dealer Markup. If the dealer is out to squeeze me out of every extra nickel, it's not a dealer I would choose to do business with. The dealer has plenty of ways to make money from you without surcharging the sales price.
