Time to go car shopping again

anyone here got the 08 LS460 at invoice? with the current market situation, I think that's doable? not to mention the '09 will be arriving shortly, will use that to bargain and will get the 08 to save more money.

ML/NAV/Comfort/Lexus Link/SAT will be the options: MSRP at $75485

Budget is $75k OTD, perhaps I should try for 460L?

dealer will be in SoCal

hahahhaha you are ditching your 460, kevin?

75k out of the door for ls460l is a far stretch. there are only a few certain setup on the ls460l. the cheapest one is 80k i believe, which an invoice of say around 70k. even with that plus ttl, you are looking at around 76 to 77k already.

invoice price is doable these days imho, but on the 460l it's a bit harder coz' lexus is controlling the supply. but i have seen it done

lol NO WAY! I love my car, our family is getting the LS460 for my dad's big 60th birthday, I have one month to get this done, so time to go shopping!

yeah I figured that's the case for the LWB, figured it was worth a shot and you KNOW where I won't be buying my car from

I just bought a brand new 460L @ $10K off MSRP! I think if I worked the fleet manager a little harder I probably would of got 12K off.

nice, depending on which packages, 10k off is about invoice

Lexus is giving the dealers $2500 in market support on the Ls until Sept 2nd

Didn't you get your GS 460 from Longo Lexus? Which dealer are you considering purchasing the LS 460 from? Have fun buying the LS. It's an awesome car...

thanks for all the PMs about where the deals are, appreciated! but after making a trip to the dealership, we have decided on the following

08 LS460L starfire/black
pretty much all of the options available besides the executive package.
we'll want the rear seat package/luxury/nav/ML...

we've upped the budget as well

i am gonna push for 10-12k at invoice or hopefully below (haha) as 09 is rolling out soon and we'll need the car in 30 days.

Whl - Please let us know how the deal works out as I'm also looking to buy for Invoice or a bit below if possible due to marekt etc.... Also what's your new Budget - did you give up on 70 OTD?

I have seen folks posting 12 K off of MSRP and wanted to know if this is current before I work a deal. Now that the special financing is gone (Sept2) - do you know if they are going to offer any specials before the "December 2 Remember?"

I am looking at 72MSRP for 460 the and 81K for the L. It seems that most 460's on the lot have the standard ML, Comfort package. Not sure why you would not be able to negotiate for an L in the same way as a non L - dealers in my area seem to have enough of both sitting on the lot.

Would also love to get the PM's about deal's - Thanks!

lexus almost always have december to remember. but that's in dec. by then i would say all 08 are gone

whlkev

first quote, 11k off MSRP, that's just over the phone, i am sure i can get it down more.

So i am pushing to get 75k OTD with LS460L ML/Touring sadly no rear seat package on this car.

Waiting for calls from other dealer with the rear seat to see what I can get

looks like I am not going to get the white/black as no one has it

keep me posted kev. man, 75k otd on touring, that's still very good!

So is the MSRP 81K? (trying to compare to MSRP's I have seen locally) Also what region are you looking in?

I also would like the white/black but can only find white/white or white/tan.

Also correct me if I'm wrong but it appears the L comes with some additional options the non L does not have... so on the surface the L is 10K more but if you want the ML option it appears 5K is already factored in. I'm asking this since when building on the lexus site on the L model there is a 5 K option for ML on the non L the same option appears to be 10K. I want ML so in my case it appears that the L is really only 5K more than the non L - is this accurate?

Wow!!! 75k OTD, I'm assuming on a 83.4k car, I think is a pretty good deal.
I picked up my second LS 2 months ago and the most I was able to get was 10.5% off MSRP. Keep in mind, I wanted a Black/Black, which is very hard to come by in my area as all of them are purchased by Russians (like my self) In NY . Black/Black must be a Russian thing .

Anyway, Good Luck with your purchase!
