In reply to VGR's post above, I bought my car through CarsDirect.com, which is, IMHO, the only way to go. After I had test driven all of my options, and determined that I wanted the ES 330, I went to the website and "built" the car that I wanted. They quoted me a price (which was just under 90% of the MSRP), and put me in touch with a dealer that had the car in stock. The dealer then contacted me, confirmed the price, and we set up an appointment to sign the papers and take delivery. They offered me an extended warranty, but did not push it on me. I spent just two hours at the dealership, including a full briefing on all of the car's features and controls. Overall, a very enjoyable buying experience. Hey, they even gave me a free Lexus travel coffee cup! :D
