I think someone mentioned they managed to bargain down to $38K
for one with navigation. Personally, I got mine for 39K plus taxes and
max 100K warranty for $2K. Came to 44-something total price.

This question pops up a lot. It's difficult to compare absolute prices or lease payments, because two cars may not have the exact same base package or options. Navigation is just one of many options with a significant cost..

The best benchmark is invoice price. While you can figure out the exact invoice price for your car at either Edmunds (http://www.edmunds.com) or Kelley Blue Book (http://www.kbb.com), a simple rule of thumb is that there's about $5,500 between MSRP "sticker price" and invoice price, or the dealer's approximate cost of the car.

If you got $4,000 or more off of sticker price, you got a very good deal.

Did you buy your car at Lexus Westminister? That's the price they gave me for the same car. I'm thinking its a good deal. I'm thinking of buying it at the same price too, let me know if you have any helpful hints.
