Default What's a good price for a 2006 GS430?

Hey everyone

I hope all of you had a safe and an enjoyable Thanksgiving holiday break.

I am shopping around for a new car. One of my choices is the 2006 GS430.

I built the GS430 through the Lexus website and a fully-loaded one was priced at around $58,500. So if I include state tax and all other expenses, it will come out to around $63,000.

I plan to pay by cash. So what would be a good price? I read a lot of threads and posts here and I noticed that some of you got up to $4,000 off. So would $59,000 be a great deal?

Thank you for your time and help!!!

Talk up from invoice not down from MSRP. See what the invoice is and I would say less than 1,000 over invoice would be a good deal

I got my GS430 for about 57500 out the door. You have to email a couple of dealerships and someone will give you a great offer. Then you have the two best offers compete with each other for your business.

For those that got their car at 56 and 57 flat out the door, may I ask if you leased it? And if so, can we find out the lease details please?

I'm either going to pull the trigger on a 430 this December, or wait until Jan. to see what the final '07 LS is going to look like.

On a 39 month lease, excellent credit, and around $ 5000-$ 7000 down, what do you guys think I'm looking at per month? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Brick
