Discount on an '05 ?????

Just thought I'd ask the group how much off of MSRP would you expect on an '05 LS430 with Premium Package, Smart Access and 18" wheels. I know the answer will vary depending on location, but I'm trying to establish some figure to approach my dealer with. Thanks for the advice.

Mike-
You should consider buying a recently built, new on the dealer lot 2004 LS as opposed to a 2005. There are going to be absolutely no changes, except more color choices & standard 18" wheels with a 4-6% mark-up in price.

The new design will debut for the LS in September of 2006...Goodluck!

That increase would amount to about $3000 with the options I want. My salesman did say that he checked with Lexus on the 18" wheels and was told they are available, but not standard. If I am unable to get a decent discount and Lexus increases the price that much, the '05 LS430 just might be out of range for me. I'll have to wait until Lexus announces the price structure for the '05 models to decide if I want an '04, but by that time, there might not be an '04 on the lot that I want. Thanks for the information.
