Q: What is the out the door price of a Lexus 350 at a dealer?
Hello fellow drivers,
I am going to purchase a Lexus this week. I would like to know how much you got your lexus 350 for at what dealership. I am not very good at negotiating, so your prices would help me build up an argument. This will give me some confidence and background information so that I won't overpay. Please tell me what is included in your price also. That would help a lot.
With much appreciation and happy holidays,
Nancy

Q: Lexus 350 owners- any problems with oil in your cars?
I read that there is a problem that is common with Lexus cars and oil sludge?
A: Yes, it is a common problem with the 350.
Q: Scratched my Lexus IS 350 rear bumper. How much to fix and know any good shops?
Lexus IS350 rear bumper has 3 deep scratches. No dents, dings, or cracks. How much to fix w/ reputable shop?
Live in Orange County and it's a 2006 model.
A: i saw one that was cheap but they suck at it XD
Q: Lexus 350 Discount. WHat is the precentage the dealer could drop on a lexus 350, the list is at about 41K USD.
I am looking for a percentage from the invoice price.
A: go to http://www.kbb.com
Plug in the model (someone asked about GS,IS, RX, etc., only you know) and it should give you the invoice price. It depends on how sales are at the time. I got my GS450h for a little over ($100) over invoice because it was a slow mover. But, try to buy an IS-F and you will probably pay sticker. Some say the end of the month/quarter/year are good times to buy because the dealership is trying to make monthly/quarterly/annual sales quota. Do some research and try for the end of June. Don't start at sticker and work down; go from invoice (or below) and work up and set a top price you are willing to pay or a small range of price. Even at invoice there are manufacturer incentives, holdbacks, etc. and the dealer makes some money. Read up on auto price negotiations and go informed. Knowledge is power. If the deal isn't right, walk away and come back some other time or find another dealer close by. Around here they compete. Good luck.
Q: I have a question about the Lexus Es 350?
I am considering buying a lexus es 350. does it take regular fuel. IF it does will it degrade the performance?
A: I drive an LS and a GS and use regular fuel in both (the GS450h has the same V6 as the ES). I have no problems with either car. Modern engines and computers pretty much take care of any preignitiion (knock). Don't waste your money on premium fuel; I doubt that without sophisticated test equipment you would ever be able to notice a difference in fuel economy or performance. Others swear that you can. I am a non believer.
Q: What are the similarities between a BMW 128i and a Lexus IS 350 RWD?
I'm doing a compare and contrast essay.
My topic are the two cars above and Im having some trouble listing some similarities besides that they are both luxury vehicles and that they are foreign.
If you can help me that would be great!
A: Well firstly, they are two completely different cars, one being a coupe/convertible (premium small) and the other being a sedan (premium mid-size), secondly the IS 350 could destroy the 128 in a race.
Q: Is it possible to change the Head/stereo unit in a Lexus IS 350 with an aftermarket one?
I want to replace the stereo with a multimedia/navigation unit. Is this possible? If it is, is it very pricey to do?
A: Looks like it wont be to hard to do. the dash is reletively flat and a double din kit is about 25 bucks at a stereo shop.
the whole job should cost about 200-250 to install a radio and make it work. If you buy the radio from the guy putting it in, its usually a better price
The choice of radios is a matter of personal preference. My New favorite is the Pioneer Premier Avic F90 BT. It has Hard Drive Navigation, 3 D Navi maping, MSN Direct gives you nav traffic information, local movie show times and the gas station prices on the navi map (Soo Cooool). built in Bluetooth and iPod w/ video. SD Card slot in front too.
Msrp is kinda high but the radio comes with factory 2 year warranty. Our shop is selling out every week.
Q: Has anyone installed a double din head unit in a 2006 lexus IS 350?
I'm looking to buy this car, but I also want to install an aftermarket head unit. Has anyone done it or seen it done?
A: There is not an easy way to retro fit an after market 2 Din into this dash. There is a couple of ways however to intigrate a touch screen monitor into the dash and have it look stock. Are you planning to add an aftermarket system to the vehicle? What sources do you want to use on the screen?
Let me know and I can show you what is possible

Q: I drive a Lexus 350. Check engine, VCS Trac &Trac off lights all came on.Will driving to dealer harm anything?
A: If the Check Engine light is flashing - DON'T drive it. If it's just on steady you should be fine. The flashing indicates a problem severe enough to cause damage.
Q: i want to know more on Lexus RX 350 2009 model, heard they are going to change the outer body?
anybody would mind sharing this, as i was planning to buy the 2008 model, but heard from somwhere the above news...please share your news.
A: They will change more than the outer body....sure, it will look a lot sleeker, but, it will also be longer and have optional seating for 7. This is an important feature that the current body type doesn't have. As an owner of a 2007 RX 350, I can tell you it would be nice to have.
They also may offer a larger, more powerful engine which is always good news. I you can wait, I would hold off and buy the 2009.
Q: What is the difference between the lexus is 350 and the 250?
I'm getting either one of the two cars ...the color will be black =)
i need a all wheel drive and less pricing on gas?
which one is better? and better features
A: If you want AWD, your only option is the IS 250. They don't make an IS 350 with AWD.
The differences between the IS 250 and 350 is basically engine size. The IS 250 has a 2.5 liter 204 horsepower V6 engine while the IS 350 has a 3.5 liter 306 horsepower V6. The 350 is a lot faster. But since the engine on the IS 250 is smaller, it gets better gas mileage.
They're also coming out with an IS convertible next year. I'm not sure whether or not it will have AWD, but if you want to wait for it....
Q: Does anybody know when news of the Lexus RX 350 2009 model will be released in Australia?
I want one, what more can I say? I would hate to buy the 2008 model and then see ads for the 2009 model the next week..............
A: Probably in early September, though late August is a possibility.
P. S. Your local dealer or National distributor should also be willing to tell you.
Q: Is there any difference in the body of a 2008 Toyota Camry (sedan) and the Lexus ES 350?
I can't tell by looking at the photos on the internet.
A: it is probably the same frame but the body panels are diffrent to make the cars look diffrent from one another.
Q: What does the orange exclamation warning light in the lexus es 350 mean?
the light is on the left front panel near the abs and emergency brake light
A: Danger Will Robinson, Danger!
Check your tire pressures, don't forget the spare!
