I have been looking at ordering a 2008 LS460L, but notice most people on the forum have the regular LS460. Is there any benefits other than cost of buying the regular model? It just seems like the LS460L has a smoother ride, double glass which is quieter and more room. Thanks

From what I am finding, if someone does just a little research, you should be able to get 5-7% off the MSRP.

DArustik, It would seem most people on this forum are NOT paying sticker price. Most are getting 5-7% off MSRP. I have not had time the last week or so, but plan to start checking with many out of state dealers to find who will give me this type of discount and then I will just order from them and pay to have it shipped here independently. I will still come out a few thousand ahead.

Got mine with 5% off. East Coast. The dealer thinks you are lying, that's what really is going on, then I would switch dealers if possible. Tell them I would bet 100-1 about 5% off...they name the amount. That should shut them up. If you don't have many dealers near you, then I would wait until late fall, and early Spring next year (assuming you can wait) and you should get a better deal. There are three dealers near me, only one had any inventory where I got my deal. Others would not move much off MSRP. Good luck with your shopping. Joe Thanks Joe!, again it seems to be the coasts are willing to deal on price. Jason

Well, I bought an LS460 today, MSRP was $70,672 and I paid $64,750. But this was in California (Steven's Creek Lexus), not exactly the mid-west. Asti, still good to know. Even if I bought this car from California, I could have it shipped here for about 2K. That is still a big savings over buying here at MSRP. Thanks.

Many of you have stated that you bought your 2007 LS460 with a 5-7% discount. The closest dealership to me said they would give no discount at all. When I referenced this website about others not paying MSRP, a Lexus dealership said that everyone on this forum was LYING. Could people please give me the names of some dealership in the Midwest that would give a 5-7% discount. We know we are going to purchase this car, we just need to find a cooperative dealership to purchase from. A 5-7% discount would make it more than worthwhile to purchase out of state for a $79K car. Thanks

I am interested in buying an LS 460 L and the dealer closest to us insists they will not take ANYTHING off of the MSRP and if I order one, they will be adding $750 for special order costs. From what I am reading here, this dealer is full of crap! I am going to start checking out some of the surrounding dealers for costs. Stevenson Lexus has two stores in the Denver area, Lakewood (west) and Frederick (north). They were sponsoring the International Golf Tournament in Castle Pines and had ordered 220 ES, RX and GX "courtesy cars" for the touring pros. These low mileage cars are then sold for "an impressive discount" when the tournament is over. The tournament was cancelled this year but not before the cars were ordered and the order could not be cancelled. So Stevenson is interested in moving cars, any cars. I think this helped get us a good deal. Good timing on our part. [silver] Bullitt
