Incentives?
Hey guys,
I'm in the market for a new GS350 AWD.
I've done a search and checked Edmunds but received nothing in regards to any incentives offered. So, what are the dealers slicing off the retail? Was I correct in reading from an other thread up to $9,000?
I know the STS (GM of course) is knocking nearly $10,000 off. I'm hoping the GS is something close!
Thanks in advance!

I am sure you can get pretty close the your $9k mark if not more!!! 
If I remembered correctly when I special ordered mine in 2006 (for 2007), I got close to $6k off the sticker already (plus $750 off coupon from Taste of Lexus)!!!
FYI, I would nvever "buy" any vehicle built by GM, unless you are planing to "lease" then why not get an European instead!?!

$9000 off a GS is the internet forum price 
That’s where people go into forum and rave about what a great deal they got. Sometimes they get carry away
Realistically, $1000 below invoice would be consider a good price for a brand new GS right now, that’s about $6000 off MSRP. If you wait another few montsh to year end, you can do better on a 09 GS

I've either bought or assisted in the purchase of four cars during the past three years.
The process I go through is...
Go to Edmunds to see what incentives are available.
Visit manufacturer's web site to research further.
Go to carsdirect.com. Configure the car to my liking and get their price.
Go to the dealer and expect to purchase the car for 1.5% - 3% less then the Carsdirect price (Carsdirect usually accounts for the available incentives in their price).

Make up ridiculous story like- traded my '96 ES 300 with 300K for an 09 GS 450H demo with 3K. Paid $39,900 out the door and they gave me a lifetime subscription to XM Radio plus free service and car washes for 5 years. Gave me $4000 cash for the ES.
It's much easier that way. No haggling, no actual purchase, no money spent, no way to disprove that I have that car for that price.
