Please advise me if $51k out of the door price for a 2013 gs350 w/ premium package is good deal or a bad deal. My local dealer will never go lower than 51k. Thank you in advance.

Invoice Price is the price that the dealership paid for the car.

Are you paying cash, financing, or leasing?

For the $2.9k chrome wheels, do you get to keep the original Wheels too? ...or is that a "gift" to the Dealership? (The $47k came w/ wheels and tires already right?)

Oh i see, i believe invoice is $52,450. I did not get to keep the original wheel. I did try to finance. However, is premium already included chrome wheel? I wonder why dealer charged extra 2.9k for. I totally forgot to ask why.

If MSRP is ~$53k, invoice isn't ~$52k. It's more like $48/49k. Check TrueCar/Edmunds etc.

Deal is poor, esp. w/ 2014 on the lots already.

Which dealership are you working with?

Have you checked TrueCar/Edumunds for market price of your car?

Your deal is okay for MY 2014 but poor for MY 2013.
