One should note that within the metro DC area, of which Fairfax is the
largest jurisdiction, there are 3 Lexus, 5 Acura, 3 Infiniti, 6 BMW,
3 Jaguar, and 3 or 4 Mercedes dealers. Play the situation right and
you can get a good deal.

You could hear a pin drop when the almighty Garry Owen
<GarryOwen (AT) cox (DOT) net> addressed his adoring fans with these immortal
words:


Yup. The Lexus dealerships are Rockville, Silver Spring and Pohanka
Lexus in Chantilly. I've purchased an ES from Silver Spring and an LS
from Pohanka. Of the two, I prefer Pohanka's service about two fold
over Silver Spring Lexus. I haven't had any direct relationship with
Rockville but I know people who have and they rate them very high as
well.

All,

the Dealership quoted me 1500 off the MSRP stick price on the ES350
they would not budge anywhere below that because they claimed the car
was selling like hot cakes, its okay though I will wait a until the 3rd
quarter and try again.

I currently own a GS and Love it.

I apoligize for the confusion.

Thanks for that information.

I'm not much of an expert at car buying, but after getting
my Carmy at about $1,300 _under_ the so-called "invoice" price, I've
become spoiled and don't think I would ever be willing to pay
more than invoice.

I would suggest talking directly to the Sales Manager--not the
salesperson--and telling the manager you are only willing to pay
invoice price. And see what happens. Who knows, maybe they'll
call you back in a matter of weeks or months.

Be sure they show you the invoice, either as an email or a
printed copy. Check out how much the advertising or media fee is.
That's always an interesting thing to see, especially since Edmunds
doesn't keep track of it for the various dealerships.

Some dealerships won't budge below invoice (like the exclusive
Toyota dealership in my town), in which case you may want to travel
to another town. That's what I did. I bought from a dealership
one-hundred miles away that is located in a metropolitan area in
which there are 6 or 7 Toyota dealerships all vying for your business.

Has anyone in recent years bought a new Lexus like the ES330 or
IS250 at invoice price or less? Please remember, we're talking
invoice,
not MSRP. Thanks a million billion.

My local Lexus dealer was offering the base model ES330 at invoice
during the December to Remember sales event 6 months ago. Some dealers
are overstocked on the ES330 so they will be willing to sell them at
invoice, ESPECIALLY with the new ES coming in big numbers now.

I HIGHLY DOUBT you'll get an IS250 AWD at invoice.
