no, for that car with the touring, MSRP will be at $81,340

ok, no dealer will go any lower than invoice, so the best deal on this car we are eyeing will be (sorry, not going to mention dealer nor specifics so people don't steal our car )

basically 14.52% off MSRP or $11,124 off MSRP

we will measure to see if it fits in the garage, then we are sure this is the car

 

Be sure to post when you close the deal... 81,340 - so that's MR and Touring only - that's pretty common with the ones that I have seen - all MSRP'ing in the 81's. Did you figure what invoice is on that? -- 70'ish - Hope you are able to hit your 75K OTD!

I saw a few posts where folks said they got 12K off MSRP but that was back in June... I would think there would be even better pricing now due to 09's and no special financing.

 

i am excited to know how it works out too!

 

Hi guys,

When you're shopping for the absolute best deal, what is the best way to contact a dealer? Email? Phone? Do you ask for the "internet sales manager" or "fleet manager" or just any salesperson or what?

 

I recommend talking to a fleet Manager 1st. & Sales Manager 2nd, and see if they have the vehicle with the right equipment and make them an offer off MSRP!

 

Whilkey - Were you able to do the deal?

 

Just bought a black on black LS460L yesterday, and took delivery today.
MSRP $88,235.00
Bought at $76,438.00

If they have the car you want, do your due diligence and make them an offer.

 

Nice - 11.7 off MSRP - What was invoice on your car?

Why did you buy on Friday and not pick up until Saturday -just curious...

 

wow, very nice. 88k car, i say 76k is about the invoice already!

 

syswei,

Just curious. Didn't you purchase the S550 a while back because the LS460 did not have the WWD available? If so, how do you like it?

 

I have been quoted over the phone - several thousand under invoice on 460 and L. Obviously I won't know for sure until I'm ready to pull the trigger - but it seems that a few K under is do-able on a one year old 460 or L. Would be nice to see if anyone has been able to purchase for under Invoice - as Invoice seems to be a GIVEN at this point.

 

^^ several thousands UNDER invoice?

which dealer? so far, no one is willing to let it go for under invoice, I still have to wait about 2 weeks before making the purchase, dad's bday is still 1 month away!

 

Yes, I bought an S in July. I was getting impatient waiting on an LS awd...at the time, MB was offering good yearend deals on the S, while with the LS, it wasn't clear when during MY09 awd would appear, and whether AVS would be available with it. (When I test drove the LS, I really didn't like the standard suspension.)

Anyway, I like the S alot. Any car has upsides and downsides. What I don't like are the engine noise and the mediocre sound system. Oh, and brake dust is a minor issue, and mpg ain't great. But everything else is fine. My favorite feature is the optional Distronic Plus...even if the cruise control is not engaged, the car will brake at up to 40% of max braking power, if a crash is imminent. Lexus has nothing with that functionality, when the cruise isn't engaged.

I am still monitoring this forum because I am going to replace our 2000 LX in Dec. Right now my wife thinks she wants a 7-8 passenger vehicle...which would be an LX570. But I am letting her drive the S now (while I drive the LX470)...if she decides she can get by with that, we'll get an LS awd instead, which I would drive. So, we'll be getting either an LX or LS in Dec, hence my interest in a Lexus buying strategy.

 

sure does, it's called the laser guided cruise control and pre collision system

 

And do these apply the brakes when cruise control is not even engaged? I don't think so, but correct me if I'm wrong.
