So $95K for a a $115K brand new LS600hL is below invoice in the U.S. correct ?

During my search I was given soft #'s starting at 20 to 25K off MSRP - that brings you into the low 90's. This was at a dealer that had 4 H's in stock. Problem now is finding the color you want... seems to be only dark colors available in my region.

In any event if you purchased a 600 back in 06/07 you got to drive around in one of the most exclusive (under 150K) cars Period! If I were in the market back then for a Lux Sedan I would have been fine paying MSRP since that was the best deal going.

Good Q on Invoice - I have been focusing in the X off of MSRP since that is how I have been buying. I was told at one dealer that it was near 100K even on a 114 car - but I they did not show me the invoice.

thanks encore888! i gotta have the chrome wheels to go with the chrome trim. plus the touring wheels look a lot better than the stock 600h wheels. i got a tip for anyone buying a new car and want a wheel upgrade! Do not buy it or request upgrade when purchasing the car. they usually want at least $3k for them. Buy the car and then go to the parts department and ask them to trade your wheels. It cost me 2000 for the trade and have it installed! vs 3000 additional to the sticker price

I didn't like the non-chrome 18" OEM wheels and they swapped them for $1,400.00 at time of car purchase. Then I found out they didn't do the spare in the trunk in chrome and complained, and they did the spare as well for the same $1,400.00.
