Default Just bought an ES350 - good price

Just purchased an ES350 and was wondering if I got it for a good price. Its a white on tan with the premium plus package, navigation, wheel locks, cargo net. I think the MSRP is around $42000.

I purchased it 3 months old with 3000 miles on it for $34500....did I get a good deal? Car is in PERFECT condition, save for a small rock chip that I'll be taking care of today.

I think it's a great deal. I would have expected the price to be around $37500.

34755/42000 = 82%

that's not invoice. that's waaaaay below invoice.
unless the OP confused the MSRP.

invoice is around 87%

kbb has it all in black and white (might not have the nav invoice price which is 2230)...and the deal the person made was even worse if you think about holdback and floorplan fee (another $1000)

That sure doesn't sound like the invoice price to me. Last time I checked, invoice for a ES350 with premium plus with nav was around 37-38k. So far from the people I've talked to, it seems like it was a good price. In my neck of the woods, trade in on a vehicle like that is low to mid 33s. And from a month of research and calls on autotrader, I haven't been able to find a vehicle in similar condition and features for near the same price.

there is no holdback. the car is used.


if the msrp was 42k, either there was some extra crap options, or your dealer conned you

My dad has the same exact car PP with Nav white on tan, bought brand new with 8 miles for $36,700. Something is wrong with the invoice price on kbb because the deal we got was close to invoice. Maybe the warning sensors and the parking guidance are not included in the kbb price or something.

Pretty good price but you left a little $$ on the table.

Yep, that sounds more like the invoice to me.

I'll have to post pics just as soon as I can take some! Car rides fantastic and the interior, exterior, and overall performance seems to be far ahead of the ES330.
