Default A question about the 2006 Lexus GS430

Hello, how is everyone doing?

I have a few questions about the 2006 GS430.
My apologizes if these questions have been posted before.

Q1:
I build my GS430 online and the price came out to $58,629.00.
If I add Massachusetts state tax (5%), the out-the-door price is around $61,000.

So what is a good out-the-door price? Can I lower this price down to $55,000 or lower?

Q2:
I heard that a GS460 will come out. Is this true?

Thank you for your time and help.

Have a good day.

P.S. For those of you who live in Boston, Massachusetts, what Lexus dealership do you recommend?

Was that online price MSRP or Invoice? You should be able to get it at your local dealership for invoice to $1000 over invoice fairly easily.

What you pay for the 430 will depend greatly on what dealer you go to. You may be able to get it near invoice if the dealer has multiple cars on the lot, but my understanding is that the 430 is becomming rare. My dealer currently has 0 on the lot, and the 460 isn't going to arrive anytime soon. If you want something near invoice, you need to call around and find a volume dealer that's in a position to bargain.

Have you tried Autotrader ? Alot of dealers will list their new cars on there, you might find what you want not too far from home.

I just visited Lexus of Watertown.

I was able to get $4,100 off MSRP on a 2006 GS430.

This car is in the dealership's lot.

How much more do you think I can knock off?

Thank you very much.

Hey Buddy

It is a fully-loaded car. It basically has everything. I have so far knocked off $4,100. In order to get invoice, I need to knock off around $4,000 more.

I saw your other post in my thread. I will need to think if I can wait for the GS350 AWD. I read a thread, saying that the GS350 AWD will be available this coming October.

I need a car now because my mother is visiting me for about a month. Anyway, let me think about your idea and I will get back to you.

Good night.
