Demo car, right?

Even for Chrysler on volume of 20+ cars a month couldn't go below $300 under invoice (and trust me they are very hugnry for our account).

... and Lexus... $1189 under invoice? No way!

Gotta be a demo with about 6k+ on the clock.

hahaha. nope, im laughing b/c im feeling good tht i did a good job on the deal. the car has 53 miles. yes. just 53 miles.

thanks a million!

Lisa,

I have reservations regarding these numbers.

The MF and residual is established by Lexus Financial and is not negotiable (unless your dealer is using another institution for funding which I doubt considering at 3%, no bank would fund a lease at that rate). Current MF (as of 7/18) is 0.00125 with a 48% residual. I'm curious...what is the term (and monthly cost) of your lease and how much (if any) cap cost reduction did you contribute?

i read that the MF was .00125. but no dealers said that was the buyrate. my credit wasnt so good, so i got it at .00175 w/ 9 msd's it dropped to .00085. if i had tier 1+, the mf would be .00165. my terms were 36/15k. and .25 ea additional mile.

i did totally mimium. the only thing i did was put a 9 refundable sec. deposits. first months, reg. i did pay acc. fee which was $600 upfront. and $45 doc fee. my payments are $648 w/ tax.

I don't believe the MF is set in stone. Most dealers mark it up, and make a profit on it. For the three dealers I talked with, they all said the buy rate was .00165, and they were offering it to me at .00265. I ended up working it down to
.00195, and thats it. They wouldn't go any lower, and I have perfect credit. So, I am assuming that a MSD is 'multiple security deposits'? What is the difference between that and a down payment? Do you get that back at the end? What happens if the car gets totalled?

OK, newbie here, read a lot of good info here. To make a long story short, I have an old X-type (don't laugh) that's on it's last legs, so I need a new car. Seriously considered BMW 335xi, but am now decided on the GS 350 awd. I'm still in research mode but here is an internet quote I got from a local dealer here in the Cleveland area:

Internet Price - $*
A new 2007
GS 350 AWD with a navigation pkg MSRP of 50,596.00 , Colors Black / Black leather

Black / Gray leather , Black / Tan leather , Black Sapphire ( Dark Blue ) / Tan leather ,

Smokey granite / Black leather.

Buy for 47,805.00 plus doc,tax,plates,fees, I have 5.9% with Lexus thru 7/31 WAC no fees

I am financing, already have a 6.2% with my old credit union, so my questions to those of you with experience is how do I proceed from here? Do I counter, do I wait a couple of days before contacting the internet manager, if I buy, do I stay with my old reliable CU or negotiate an even lower rate than the 5.9% quoted? Hope these questions aren't too annoying and thanks for your input.

do they have a good supply of AWD models? how many dealerships are in ohio?

It's probably a lot harder to negotiate in your state.

I would call around, and then counteroffer. Don't take a break until after you've counteroffered several managers.

Thanks dunnojack, I believe this dealership has 3 or 4 awd's. There are 3 dealerships in the Greater Cleveland area, so I'll give the other two a call and see what happens - I have also called my cousin (actually, my cousin's husband) in Missouri and see what he can find out. He works for a bmw dealership there that shares a large several acre lot with Lexus, and can hopefully look into things for me down there.
