Funny, that is the exact same deal I got down to the penny. By chance was this from Kuni Lexus in Littleton CO?

Did they have what you wanted in stock? Been e-mailing dealers in the SE US this AM and have gotten such a broad range of different information and offers... very interesting... none as good as you've gotten though.

Are you special ordering or no?

thanks,
Matt

No special ordering they have them on site. I just got another offer for the same car with sirius radio installed with small antenna for $40,700 most likely take this offer since its is in the same state. Just need to do lots of research.

Good Luck
Ken,
Did you work with a particular salesman over the phone or strictly through their Internet Sales department? Is there a particular salesman that you recommend if I give them a call?

Thanks

Worked through the internet sales department. Both dealers only have one person. Just take your time and you'll get a great deal. I know have the dealer in my town working with me but he's about $206 more and i just found out my company will pay for shipping my car.

At Kuni the internet sales guy I am working with is Charlie Mullison. He is a real good guy. Funny thing is even at $40k they are still making $1.7 - $2k on the sale. Shows you the markup they put on this car!
