There's A LOT of pages to read through (which I'm about to start doing), but I'd like a little assistance with some offers I'm receiving.
After looking at several Deep Sea Mica cars in Houston, I've decided to order one and wait for it to arrive since all the ones I've seen have been covered in marring/spider webbing. This is a very unforgiving color, and the only way to get virgin paint is to order and wait for it.
I've been offered 13k trade-in on my '06 IS350, so I will be using the 3+ month waiting period to private party sell it.
There are 4 dealers in the Houston area, and I'm looking at a very basic configuration:
Deep Sea Mica GS350
Black interior
Dark brown trim
Nav system
Premium package
Intuative parking
18" wheel upgrade with summer tires
Very basic, I know, but it's all I desire.
The MSRP comes out to be 52,645.00.
I have offers of $2,500.00 below msrp, and straight invoice.
However, I just got an email from another guy that said the following:
"how far below invoice will keep you from further shopping price and order the GS here?
Remember we handle the first 2 years of scheduled maintenance, loaner cars and courtesy vehicle pick-up, all free of charge, when you buy here."
A very open ended question, how shall I respond?

I too am from Houston, but bought mine in Dallas. Much better deal and much better inventory. I bought mine in August, MSRP $58500, paid $53200. No hassles, even flew me up there to pick it up or offered delivery for no charge. They may even have what you want in stock Let me know if you want more info.

Slight Correction, MSRP was 59253, i bought it for 54050. Plus she added delivery (or in my case flew me to Dallas), tint, and pinstripe (which is not included in the MSRP). 54050 plus Tax. Mine has Luxury Pkg with ML, HUD and spoiler. Also financed for 1.9%.

It's likely Park Place Lexus. I am buying a second Lexis from them now and have to say they are wonderful to deal with. Highly recommend park place of Plano Texas. They are fair, professional, knowledgable, and timely. Give them a call. My sales guy is Anthony and he is great to work with.

Sounds like a good deal but I wouldn't let them put a Pin-stripe on my car, but that's just my take on it. If you like it that's all that counts. Nice equipment. Love the HUD

I was 50/50 on it, but the way they did it, it looks real nice. I have the Flaxen interior and one of the stripes matches the interior of the color.I think it looks good...They even put a nice Lexus logo on the stripe.
