'04 LX-470...How much over dealer cost?

I'd offer $1.5K over and go from there. And not worry if its fair or not. If they agree to sell and you agree to buy, it's fair by definition.

If I got it for $1.5K over cost, I think i'd be doing well. The MSRP on a loaded '04 LX-470 is $68K. The dealer cost is $59K. Fleetrates.com offered to get it for $63.9K (almost $5K over dealers cost!!!) saying "it's a hard to get car". S. FLA. car salesmen won't even give me a straight answer when I ask them to quote me their best price based on a fair profit over their cost ? and they wonder why they have the reputation. $5K over cost sounds outrageous.

The price is based strictly on supply/demand, not what is "fair". They're going to charge what the market will bear and you're going to pay the smallest you can. Fairness never enters into it.
