Looking to buy and finance a 2014 GS350 F Sport (base) and a 2014 RX350 (base) possibly by the end of the month. Anyone know of a Houston (or Austin/Dallas) dealer they worked with in the past that has given really good deal? Especially, for purchasing 2 cars at the same time? Any options or packages I should definitely add to the cars that don't add too much to the price aka 'gotta have it/don't buy without it' options?
I believe in my search 'December to Remember' I might be able to get ~10% off MSRP. Is that still true for 2014 models? Thank you in advance for any help.

Sewell is in many different states. They'll usually work a deal, and they love people that buy more than one vehicle or a series of them over the years. Looks like their only Lexus dealership is in Dallas though. Park Place is in Plano, biggest dealership in the US I think. Play them against each other and come out a winner.

I've purchased 2 Lexus from Sewell in Dallas and have been more than satisfied. Dawn Betrus will take care of you. Great prices, without haggling and large inventory make buying easy.

Awesome! Thanks Mike! I guess deals in Dallas are better than LA? I live in NOLA half the year but never shopped for cars there.

Thanks Afrosheen as well.

NOLA, as you know, is a one horse town and the local dealer doesn't like to deal. I bought 7 Lexus from the local dealer and found Sewell through Club Lexus. I gave the local dealer a shot at getting my business for my last 2 cars, but Sewell bent over backwards to keep me coming back. Dawn is easier to reach by email and if you are interested in getting a bid, here is her address:
DBetrus@SEWELL.com Good luck and keep us posted.

Thought so, I won't bother in NOLA then. Thanks Mike. I'll shoot her an email. I'll be sure to post my deals-which is now 3 cars adding a GX to the list. Not all mine, grouping my family and friends purchase together.

Advice on what options or pkgs are a must? I know the GS pretty much comes with navi standard.

MikeP

Go to Lexus' website and build your GS. You'll see what packages are stocked as inventory and then you can check the new car inventory at the dealer. The inventory is not completely accurate, but it shows what to expect.

Sorry, I worded that badly. I meant any options that I would be foolish not to add.

MikeP

Gotcha. If you are going for the 2014, I'd get the $5200 Navigation Package and maybe the power trunk option. But depending on your driving preferences, there are 2 F Sport Packages and a Luxury Package with adjustable suspension. Decisions....decisions....decisions.

Please don't let me discourage you from touching base with Lexus of New Orleans. I've worked with Bill Woods for over 10 years and he is probably the most knowledgeable sales rep there. It never hurts to challenge the competition.

I got a really really good price from Edmund and Lexus of Serramonte ca. I bought a fully loaded gsf, and rx350 with almost every option. They were picked up from momentum bmw, all papers signed there.
