Default Dealer recommendation in tri state area

I am in the market for a large SUV...have driven the Escalade, QX, LX and GL. I have decided on the LX after driving it today. I was at Tri county Lexus in NJ today and the salesman would not budge off of MSRP (even though they had 4 2014s on the lot). I see that people on this forum are getting up to 10% or sticker. Does anyone know of a dealer in the tri state (NY/NJ/CT) area that will deal on this vehicle?

A update to my post...I have checked the inventory of all the dealers within 200 miles of me and none have any models with the pre collision system. I even called a few of them and none of them are able to order them with that option as Lexus supposedly doesn't ship that configuration to the northeast states.
My new question is if anyone knows of a dealer that will ship to out of state customers and give a good price. I see that sewell in Dallas has a bunch of cars exactly how I want them. Has anyone purchased from them out of state?

Oh, they can order it alright. They may not want to, as this would be a special order vehicle instead of a request for allocation (of a vehicle already en route to the northeast), but they could order it.

Personally, I would see what Sewell can do for you and take it from there. I have not purchased a car from them, but at this point, I have bought two cars out of state, and the experience has - overall - been positive: first with my LS460L, and most recently with my 600h.

No good recommendations for a dealer in NY, NJ, CT, PA, MA who will give a good deal (approximately 10% off)?? I am even willing to drive down to the DC area or up into New England if necessary. Thanks

I thought your issue was about getting a vehicle with an option package that is not regularly shipped to the east coast. Is that still the case, or are you now thinking about compromising and are inquiring about who has the best prices? It's been a while since you last posted, so this is unclear.

I've kind of given up on the pre collision if I can't get it. Its more important to me to find a dealer within driving distance who will give me a good deal.

Try Lexus of Englewood, if you are willing to spent 2hr negotiating they will work with you until you are happy.
