  1. Asking price: $22,000 2007 Lexus ES 350 Ultra Luxury 1-owner, clean carfax, good service records 70,000 miles. No CPO. Is this a fair price? How much can I go lower? KBB's seems to be worthless lately.
  2. To be honest with you, the only thing I like about ULTRA Luxury is the panoramic roof (it makes the vehicle stand out especially with starfire pearl or golden almond exterior), I don't care much about Mark Levison or the 10 spoke wheels. I checked my local dealer and they said the have 09 ULTRA starfire pearl exterior in stock and golden almond being built, which kind of suprised me since I thought they are low in stock. Still even if I get to invoice of 40K, I still think it's a lot of an ES. I'm thinking of buying a used one, and this one I found: 2007 CPO ULTRA LUXURY, Golden Almond Exterior 60,000 miles Price Ask: $25,995 CPO: 3 years or 100,000 miles Was a private lease before Seems like a fair deal? Any room for negociation? I'm asking them to lower to $23,000. The other problem is it's 1,500 miles away for where I live, so I'm looking at paying for an additional of $1,000 for delivery. (unless I fly one way there and drive it back, which cost about $400 including air fair and gas, idk).
  3. It is not possible to get a Panoramic Roof and Mark Levinson sound system w/o the UL trim. However, having 'said' that check for everything else, perforated leather seats, rear sun shade, navigation system, with back-up camera, wood trim steering wheel, HID/AFS, 10 spoke graphite wheels. If these check off then you indeed had the UL package. For an 08 this is great price for a UL package considering the miles. I'm still somewhat concerned that it's not Lexus certified, but you still have quite a bit of warranty left, so that's not a show stopper. Clean CarFax, wow, this car was hardly driven. Was it a loaner vehicle? I think $34K would be really good price, but hey, if you can get the price down lower, then go for it!!..... Ahh, they just sold it today (sale pending since Saturday). I never thought of getting the ULTRA package, but now after seeing it in person, I felt in love with it. If I get a brand new one, how much should I aim for MSPR 44K, Invoice 40K.
  4. I got an offer for a used 2008 ES 350 Ultra Luxury Package (not CPO) with 5000 miles for $34,700 (MSRP $44,700). Is this a fair deal? Obviously, this is not a CPO, but the carfax is clean and I haven't negociate anything yet. How much should I negociate? Maybe $32 or $33K? Since buying a new car now has so many benefit such as you can deduct the tax on your 2009 income tax? Advise? *Note: I'm unsure if this is the Ultra Luxury Package since the salesman is not from a Lexus dealership so he might not knowledgable about ES' trims (he didn't mention anything about Ultra Luxury) . But the vehicle does include Mark Levison and Panoramic roof. Is it possible to get those two options without the Ultra?
  5. Bond8 and D&L Lexus, those are great prices you got there. Do you know if they would go down to invoice if no Nav package is choosen? Would you please message me the dealer you got it from and the sales person? Thanks.
  6. That's like at MSRP, did you attempted to get any discount or it is impossible to do so now? AWD or FWD?
  7. Just curious how much you new 2010 RX 350 owners got for your car with Premium Package? How much with the Navigation Package? Is it still possible to get to the invoice now with this new model? I'm seeing the 2010 model Navigation Package is only about 2K more than the Premium Package. Perhaps it's a better deal to upgrade to Nav than previous 09 models where it was about 4K different. Much appreciated.
  8. I think it would be hard for you to find a GS w/o navigation. There are some out there, but like the LS, most of these vehicles are equipped with a navigation package. To answer your question about price, you need to provide more info (e.i. mileage, color)
  9. I know Lexus doesn't required full synthetic oil for the RX line up, but do any of you actually use full synthetic oil here? If so, what benefit have you seen? Do you do it at home, bring the oil to the dealer, or have the dealer use their full synthetic oil?
  10. Does anyone know when will the 2010 RX 450h be available in dealership? I want to test drive it when I drop off my 400h for maintenance :-). I visited the Lexus website, and I don't think we can build the 450h or 250h yet.
  11. Thanks all for all the advice! I commute 20 miles a day round trip to work and put in about 70 miles over the weekend, no short trips, so I think that should be long enough for the oil to warm up? I certainly don't want to do anything to jeopardize my warranty, but again, Lexus dealership charged me $46.85 just for an oil change last time, so I was wondering if it's worth it to go back there and have the service done before the 5000 miles interval hits. So you are saying we can bring our Lexus to say a Toyota dealership and have the 5000 miles service done, as long as we keep the service record, that would still count towards the fulfillment for our warranty? As for the full synthetic oil, I know Lexus currently uses blended oil for RXs, do you think using full synthetic oil will extend the interval longer? I once talked to a service advisor and he told me that full synthetic oil doesn't mean longer interval oil change because the filter would still need to be changed every 6 months.
  12. Do any of you here really follow Lexus' 6-month/5000 miles maintenance schedule? I was recently out of the country for vacation for 6 weeks, so I hadn't put too much mileage on my car yet. It's been 7 months now since I last had service, and I only put on 3500 miles since then. Do you think it's necessary to have the service now since it's over 6 months or I should wait until the car hit 5000-mile interval? Btw, I'm thinking of doing the 15K maintenance, does it worth it? Does it include oil change and tires rotation in this 15K maintenance as well? How much? Anyone with experience, please share. Thanks.
  13. Beautiful car, i love the combination of black exterior and tan interior. Do you mind sharing how much you got that for?
  14. Just bought 2010 RX350 AWD Starfire Pearl w/ Gray Leather - HDD Navigation - Premium Package - Comfort Package - Wood- and leather-trimmed steering wheel and shift knob - Towing Prep Package - 12-speaker Premium Audio System Sticker Price = $46,750 Price Paid = $44,000 Seems like not much discount there. Probably because it's still a hot cake (even in this economy). How is it handling so far? what's the MPG?
  15. I thought they only thinking about it, it's not official yet. Plus, even if they are going with the plan, the V6 LS is going to be just in Asia Pacific, and maybe in Europe...but not North America.
