Hi all. Sorry for posting again, but I think it's relevant and I'm kind of proud of the deal I made :-) j/k

In all honesty though, I paid $35,200 out the door for a new '08 GS350. Original sticker of $48,300 with XM, upgraded wheel / summer tire package, wood / leather steering wheel, heated cooled seats, rear sunshade, etc. No NAV or ML, but I figured for that price I couldn't pass it up. Hope this helps at least directionally with any offer you make.

So you got a $15,000 discount? How many miles were on the car? My local dealer had some leftover 08 GS350's back at the beginning of March, but they are gone now. I guess Lexus bit the bullet and gave them $10K+ incentive money to move them!!!

Great deal !!! Conratulations !!!

The dealer offered me $34,400.00 out the door. I was thinking about offering them $30k out the door but I don't think they'll go for it.

Try harder! Mine comes with Nav, with XM, upgraded 18" wheel package, wood / leather steering wheel, heated cooled seats, rear sunshade, etc. It's took me 2 weeks for negotiating.

a 2007 should've lost 40% value already, considering that thing came out october 2006. it's 2.5 years old. luxury cars don't hold their value very well

take msrp x 60%. that's about $49k x .6 = $29k max

Start at $28.5 out the door. What's the worst they are going to say, No? They are expecting you to low ball them. Partially because they know that they have over priced the car.

You could always wait until the 2010 models are released. The price on 07's will then fall even more.

I just got mine about 2 month's ago.

Its loaded. Mint condition. Out the door for $32k with 19k miles. $900 of that was shipping from west to east coast. Whatever, so I paid a little more than these other guys. But I got exactly the car I was looking for, which was more important to me. I was very **** about all the features, colors, and condition of the car. Took me about 2 months to find it.

Good luck with the search. You will love this car.

07 GS350 without Nav/ML was sold today for $27,200 w/ 20,000 miles. With 34,000 I bet that you could go slightly lower! Maybe 26,800 or 26,900. Is TTL high where you live?

Thanks. If I remember right it had 72 miles when I drove it off the lot. They had been sitting on it since 4-08. I had them change the oil prior to mmy taking delivery since it sat so long.
