wow, that's one hell of a deal, thought they sell those at MSRP?

just got back from a local dealer, they have 4x 08 350 and 1x GS460

after a bit of talk, after tax and license comes out to be around $65560 out the door for the GS460... OUCH!

That's a great deal! I ordered mine (GS350 RWD) last week and am paying $52K (Mark LEV, intuitive Park, Pref package, - loaded, everything I could throw in)... If you are getting a loaded one for that then great negotiating! I pulled every trick in the book and the sales guy wouldn't (said he couldn't) budge and there is a waiting list for the car here in Dallas...

Yep great deal.

That grill sure is different now that I see it straight on on a dark car.

1) What dealer did you buy it from?

2) Did you shop around with different dealers to get the best price?

Thanks!

But I am sure that I will have to special order the vehicle since I need to add the following factory
installed options:
PS Pre-Collision System
FL P245/40VR18 Run Flats

But when I do buy I will get the Lexus from my local Dealer- since the owner is a friend of mine.

The $45,753.00++ Deal is for me- but I know I can shave at least a few hundred more off this.

If this is for someone besides me- I could probably get the $52,401.00 MSRP for you for somewhere between $46,500-$47,000++. But of course you would have to send me my usual referral fee- typically "3 Ben Franklins".

The thing is, I can already get a similar discount from an SoCal Lexus dealer. The price would have to be a quite a few bones lower for your services to be worth its fee.

Just curious. Why are you wasting a salesman's time when you already know the owner of a dealership? Why don't you just ask him for a price and order the car? If you know the owner, I'm sure he will let you take a car out for a couple of hours to see if it suits you.

Congrates... another black on black!! 49K for what you got really is an outstanding deal.

But if I were buying the 08, I will paint that chrome grille surrounging black.

$49K out the door is amazing. Did you have a trade or put anything down?

A couple of weeks ago I got a birthday present from my husband.
A Brand New 2008 Lexus GS350 AWD! And it is white of course with beige interior. What a beauty and it drives like a dream! Everything is great and wonderful but I wouldn’t recommend the car to anybody over 6’
Not an issue with me, I am 5’7” and my husband 5’11” The trunk size is perfect for me, since most I put in are our weekly groceries.
I have problems with Bluetooth when downloading phone book from my phone, it disconnects.
GPS features are great but I regret that it doesn’t recognize my house on a circle road which has been there for 10 years. When I mark positions in font of each house on our street I get the wrong numbers on all of them.
So I had to set “my home” with number which doesn’t exist on our street.
I will love the car anyway!
