Advertising fee - fee they say they have to pay to advertise for the car Delivery fee - they pay this shipping fee to get the car Disposition fee - if after the lease ends, and you don't buy that car, or don't lease another car from Lexus, they will charge this fee. It's about a few hundred dollars fee. Acquisition fee - fee to process the lease paperwork They just add all these fees to make more money for themselves. It looks like delivery fee and acquisition fee may be legit. The other 2 fees, seem fishy.

Do you pay for the following fees: 1) advertising fees? if so, about how much? 2) disposition fee? if so, how much? 3) acquisition fee? if so, how much? 4) delivery fee? is this fee a standard amount?

Even though many websites say that the invoice price for the ES350 is around $33,290, the holdback/rebate that the dealer gets is about $7000, according to the site listed below. This makes the dealer price for this car about $26,829. See this link: http://www.car-buying-strategies.com/Dealer_Invoice/lexus-es-350-prices.html If the dealer buys this car in for about $27,000 (this includes the delivery fee of $875), so how much should I offer for it?

Hi, I am in Northern California. I am looking to lease (or possibly buy) a 2012 ES350. Can someone provide me some info on the following: 1) what is the cost of this car for the dealer (provide link if possible) based price, without any options 2) about how much rebate would the dealer get back from Toyota/Lexus? 3) is it customary for the buyer to pay for the delivery fee, if so, about how much is that? 4) are there any other fees that the dealer may ask me to pay for, that I shouldn't be paying for? 5) how much should I offer for this car, from the based priced that the dealer buys it in for? $1000 below what they pay for? (since they may get back $2000, $3000 rebate from Toyota/Lexus) 6) are the any other major issues should I be concerned about, that I haven't mentioned so far? Thanks so much for your help.
