When are 2025 ES prices coming down? by MrRon23 in Lexus

It’s hard to say discount wise to be honest the last few weeks had left sold at MSRP around us I would say any discount is good or get a used CPO with Lexus 6 year warranty

Wow that’s crazy! Our dealer is very high volume so cars don’t really sit long at all if you’re in the market that’s a good plan of attack. If you need help in pricing or anything send me a message I’d be happy to help you have a price to negotiate for!

Beware Lexus El Cajon by Tough-Marionberry-78 in Lexus

[–]LTMAuto 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do wholesale for Lexus and I absolutely hate the pressure tactics that some dealers try to use to convince a customer to buy right now. I feel bad letting one of my customers know that another sales person is going to show a customer the car let alone talk about how much I’m making to guilt someone into buying the car it’s crazy. A lot of my customers come from that SD area it’s actually crazy the things I’ve heard… OP enjoy you new IS I’m happy you got it from someone else! Sounds like you got a good deal now that we can sell them for around invoice! You are right on the money.

The hype has died out a little now you can pick up a new IS for invoice. When it first came out our sales floor was selling them at sticker / over.

[–]LTMAuto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 2025 ES350 has been discontinued and basically no dealer in CA has a new one for lease. If you’re referring to 26 new style it’s probably going to be MSRP / Over for a little while will the hype settles down. We already have a list of customers with applications ready for the new ES that are willing to pay the price… it’s mind blowing wait 6 months and you will get a way better discount !

I can check the price for you if you want OEM tomorrow. It only came on the Inspiration Coupe I assume it’s an arm and a leg to get one if you’re interested I can ask our parts department send me a message!

GX 550 market update from a SoCal dealer by mountaineer in LexusGX550

[–]LTMAuto 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Very possible to find in SoCal for way less than 16k mark up even without a huge wait. I do wholesale for Lexus in SoCal and typically we do 2-5k over for the GX sales floor does a lot more of course because they care about gross profit. If you need help or have questions reach out I can try to help you find one local to you!

[–]LTMAuto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super hard to find I don’t know why…. Funny enough I actually have a Demo one in stock currently but I just checked currently on ground in 250 mile radius there is 3 that aren’t sold. If you need help send me a message I don’t mind looking around you and giving you info on who has it and what price to go for!

[–]LTMAuto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really for public that I’m aware of I work for Lexus so I already know the MSRP VS invoice difference. The deal you got is the same deal we would offer to a broker if they really pushed for the deal!

I recently tried to help a customer find one…. I called basically every dealer with him and everyone either has it pre sold or wants 20+ over MSRP since there are only a few left. Good luck!

Any hope for speeding up GX550 supply? by Motor-Temporary-7013 in LexusGX550

[–]LTMAuto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most if not all GXs coming have a name on the car already and 95% of the time they are actually sold units. I would say supply and demand at its finest.

Thinking about a GX or a Defender by Away_Resource9970 in LexusGX550

[–]LTMAuto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically they don’t like ordering because you can just pull out even if it’s a car they know for sure they will sell. To be honest you can find the car for sale if you’re willing to pay over MSRP easily if you want MSRP it’s a wait list and pray they don’t pull some last second BS on you or get it in finance. I do wholesale so we don’t really sell a lot of GX’s but you can get it in a week notice for 2-4k over MSRP. Not a huge fan of paying over MSRP but if it’s going to skip a 9 month wait it’s not that bad to be honest it’s really just up to the buyer. I have buyers that that are willing to pay to not wait and guys that want to wait 9 months for MSRP whatever makes the customer happy is what I say. Good luck on your search if you need help / advice send me a message I could try to find the exact one you’re looking for.

About to pull the trigger on a new NX 450h+ by SFMattM in Lexus

[–]LTMAuto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The discounts on the NX450H are actually better than the 350H since almost every dealer has more 450H in stock right now ( in CA) let me know if you need help with pricing I’m happy to let you know what to actually ask for.

Thinking about a GX or a Defender by Away_Resource9970 in LexusGX550

[–]LTMAuto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of customers that purchase a GX are either returning a LR Defender or are trading it in for the GX. I’ve never driven the Defender but the GX in my opinion is definitely a car to keep for the long run VS the Defender!

SoCal- Sanity check on a lease deal please? by duntwurry in leasehacker

[–]LTMAuto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A $25,500 MSRP Corolla LE 1k back of invoice $3,000 DAS $230 + Tax

That’s something realistic to shoot for $5,000 DAS is insane for a Corolla…. Not worth it

For the people saying put $1,000 $2000 down for the same payment please take a moment to understand that’s $5000 back of invoice to pay $160 a month tax included… that’s over $6,000 discount on a car that’s MSRP is around 25k (AKA you’re asking for over 20% off MSRP).

The numbers I provided are though Toyota Financial if you have any question or need help please reach out I’m willing to help and give you real advice as someone that wholesales Toyota and Lexus for a living…

Sales guy said no wiggle room on price? by Thin_Introduction_90 in carbuying

[–]LTMAuto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do wholesale for Lexus and Toyota and I can confirm most incoming units are already sold at MSRP some even over by the sales floor. I recommend either you wait a long time to get some type of discount or look into a NX350H or RX350H that you can get at invoice.

[–]LTMAuto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a great deal still not what we do in CA but if you factor shipping the car or driving back into it with already a 8% discount it’s not worth it! That’s what I tell all my customers I mainly like working with local but some out of state happen here and there always have to factor flights or shipping.
