Ok. Have test driven the GS. Know what options I want. Now comes the tough part. Negotiating a great price!!

Is there any place on this forum where buyers compare prices they paid for their cars? I tried searching for one, but could not find one here. So I am starring this thread here. I remember when I bought my Acura, this kind of advice helped me a lot.

I am hoping that starting this thread will be valuable for others in my situation.

If you don't mind, can you please include the following from your purchase experience on a 2014 GS

Dealer name
Sales person name
Option packages: like F-sport, Luxury, Mark Levinson etc.
MSRP price of the car you chose
Month when you purchased

% off MSRP, or Dollar price you paid before TT&L

Whether you would recommend the dealer

Any other detail you think would be relevant

Thank you for your help.

I will post my experiences here also.

Have you tried using Truecar?

Have you tried negotiating off Invoice?

Well since ur in Texas and I'm in CA and my dealer is in Oxnard, CA, I don't think u'll be coming all the way here to get it. So I won't go into the details of my sales person and all, but I'll share with u my deal.

Option: 2014 F Sport with ML
MSRP: Very close to 60K, it was $59 something.
Month: This August

I was able to get it down to $53,500, that's before tax and registration.

Mine is a lease and Lexus' rebates covers around $4-5K in down payment, first month payment, and other drive offs. So I went home with nothing out of pocket.

Mine was at $53250 msrp was $59675 (ultrawhite/carbernet)
But I think some of people here got the deal under $52000

So good luck on your deal!

People are generally reporting 10-12% off MSRP. There have been many threads. What options are you looking for? There's a good selection in Texas, so you're in good shape.
Buy and enjoy.

Man that's gonna be in the $60s and u can probably get it in the mid 50s. But the 2015 is coming so u can push the 2014 prices down some more.

here in norcal, we didn't have a truecar dealer. I got ~10% off with clear bra and tint included (already on car). leases had an extra $1500 rebate

Also, in norcal, I had done some research, but just ended up paying sticker price - out the door - under 60K - in early June, as I hate negotiating and wanted to buy locally.

It was with it - love the car!

Good luck!

There was that Command Performance Sales event back in March which had really aggressive deals, and I guess there wasn't any sales event after that until now, the Golden Opportunity Sales event.

North park Lexus San Antonio
lux package, mark l stereo, blind spot, power trunk, park assist, illuminated door sills, rear lip spoiler, window tint
sticker $60861 paid $54450
bought march 2014
they have always treated me right



Dealer didn't have the color combo I wanted. They found 1 in Houston that was $59500 give or take and I was going to pay $55500. That car got sold in Houston instead. Took a month, but North Park found one in Tulsa with extras like tint, door edge guards, spoiler and light up door sills. Since it ended up taking 2.5 weeks to get it shipped they ended up knocking another grand off the price than I was going to pay for the car coming from Houston that cost less without me asking for any compensation for the delay. If your in Texas your part of gulf states toyota importers. TX, OK LA, AR, MS. Any dealership within those states can easily swap or trade or in my case buy a car from within gulf states toyota.

I did an extensive search for a well equipped GS350 Fsport in March. I shopped around prices fro dealers all over the US and eventually settled for a 2013 closeout model. From my research you shouldn't pay more than 52.8k for a car with an msrp of 59k. I think it's certainly possible to get closer to $52k. As the 2015 models start selling you'll obviously get better deals on the 2014's (over $10k off). Good luck! By the way I shipped my car from CA. TX dealers couldn't touch prices from CA and FL.
