guy at park place i just talked to said the one i wanted (base) kashmire interior,matador red,wheel locks,cargo net was msrp 33,890.said i could get it for 30,694

second was same thing but black interior and had spoiler added to it.msrp was 34,xxx i forget.said i could get it for 31,540.

1st off i thought they msrp'd cheaper then his quotes anyway but maybe im wrong.if i were putting down 6-7k cash and had good credit,what do u think i could end up paying for these?or are these fair prices?i appreciate any help or input on if im getting a descent deal or not.thnks again

www.edmunds.com for invoice and msrp quotes with options.

But I never bother using MSRP for anything, invoice is how you should negotiate on a car.

If you're talking about an 08 sitting on the lot at this late date (just weeks before the 09s show up) I wouldn't pay anything over invoice at all, ideally less.

invoice 28,121.this will b my first time buying a new car so im leary and kindsa nervous.im only 21 so i know there prolly gonna try to pwn me.(no mommies not buyin it for me)if she was i wouldnt care about price haha!so thats roughly what i should ask then huh?thnks for ur help kurtz.any other suggestiions?

agreed, you should definitely not be paying anything more than 200 over invoice,although you should probably be able to get invoice pretty easily right now considering the economy and the fact that sales have been steadily declining every month for all auto manufacturers.

hope it helps

you should be able to get it very close to invoice price, and dont forget to use the $750 off coupon from taste of lexus....

good luck and keep us posted.

one of the best things you can do is email a few dealerships or visit a few, and have them fight for your business. Good luck!

On the contrary, thanks for letting us know the link was broken. It's fixed now.

+1.....the only stupid questions come from people who don't search first...and by extension are stupid themselves

You, having searched, actually found a problem with the forum thereby increasing the chances that other people will find their answers via search and saving the rest of us from seeing the same questions asked over and over ad nauseam. I salute you sir, you are a true gentleman.

IS sales for the year are down a small 2.1%, and August 2008 sales were +17% over August 2007 sales. With people going into smaller cars I doubt that in most markets you will get invoice pricing. Perhaps you can do it CA, but in those areas with only one or two dealers you will have to be a real negotiator. Lexus does not have loads of '08's to sell to make room for the '09's. Toyota is good at matching supply and demand. They will glide from the '08 to the '09 MY without having to resort to some sort of blow out pricing.
