looking to lease a 2010 rx350 fwd in the 45k msrp range with package b (nav and other options but no HIDs etc)
are there any college grad rebates or loyalty rebates for this month? also, whats the money factor and residual % on:
15k/36:
15k/48
for the month of june?
any input would be greatly appreciated! thank you
Any thoughts?
I appericate your post.
However I tried one dealer in nj and another in ny -
Both of them let me walk.
I basically went in today saying exactly what I wanted
and They both basically told me I was out of my mind hehe.
Will time to keep trying. I have till the end of the month.
The best deal I've been offered is very close to the offer you got ... within a couple hundred.
The invoice they showed me was higher that the invoice on edmunds, the invoice included the holdback, marketing money and some other stuff.
I'm also starting to think this is not a bad deal.
If the Lexus cash is only $3k then you will only get $8k off MSRP.
Again, Lexus will only offer these kind of cash at the end of model year (July, August? not sure).
you are correct on the 5k rebate last year, but you have to keep in mind, Lexus gave that 5k rebate ONLY because the 2010 was a NEW model, and the 09's were an aged body style, hence they were aggressive in trying to elminate old bodystyles.
but that wont happen with 2010 models, I would hope they hit 5k rebate, but lexus has never done that in the history of RX, except when a new body style is out. Tho they did have a large rebate two summers ago on the LS460, but the economy was terrible and the car wasn't selling, hence the rebate then. But for all acounts, the 10' Rx350 is a good seller, at most they'll make a nice financing deal with some dealer cash, but not like last summer...
but i'll love it if they did tho!
cap
I'm in Richmond Va. I could get the same car cheaper if I bought out of town. Screw it, I think its a decent price, the wife loves it, I'm gonna buy it and enjoy it.
Appx numbers are
MSRP 48,200
Paid 43,700
Sales guy is great, local dealership, I'm happy, it will be here in 2 weeks.
You are correct, we may not see $10k off deals but certainly $7k - $8k off MSRP is very possible. Look at this 2008 thread (sonysw, "Lexus RX 350 Prices Paid and Buying Experience" #1148, 28 Jan 2008 11:57 am) people were getting $7k - $8k off MSRP that year too and it was not a "new model".
I honestly think anyone who can wait should wait. They will save few $$. Only time will tell if I am right.
Several people have "reported" discounts over 6000 in the last few months .... the discounts wouldn't have to improve much to get to the 7 to 8,000 you mentioned.
From what I can see the 2010s are selling good now. I was having a difficult time finding one on the lot like I wanted and it wasn't a wierd combination. I was trying to negotiate on cars that were not on the lot yet ... two times the cars on order were sold to other buyers while I was still trying to negotiate a price. I should mention I was in contact with several dealers and still had this problem. That puts the buyer in a tough spot when the car you want .... gets sold ... while you're trying to squeeze another thousand out of the deal.
The supply and demand must be way different from region to region.
2010 RX 350, AWD, Comfort Pkg, Navigation System, premium pkg, 12 speaker premium Audio System, Tow Prep Pkg, Wood Leather trimmed steering wheel, Cargo Net mat & wheel Locks, All weather mats.
I would appreciate if any one can provide any suggestions or opinions in this matter.
Thanks
I paid about 700 more out the door, same options as you plus 19 inch wheels and AWD. Many on the board have got 6k plus off msrp ... way better than my deal.
What area are you looking in?
What was your msrp
Can you email it to
ashy_73 at yahoo
Thank You
Only $250.00 less than the invoice
So I guess at 42800
I stopped paying attention I thought it was too high.
msrp was 47625 or so
No alloy wheels in this package though.
You are correct about the discounts and also demand and supply rule. By the way where are you from (which state)? Sounds like in your area this car is in demand. When the car you want is in demand, it's tough, I agree.
I am only willing to pay the price in 30s so unless I find a RX in that price range. I would go for my 2nd choice... or 3rd choice..
I'm in Virginia. I shopped out about 200 miles, by e mail and in person. I've had good luck in the past buying cars, I was always able to get great discounts. I'd do my homework and didn't mind driving a ways and didn't mind walking away from a deal.
But ... what the heck. I'm happy with the deal I made and didn't have to travel.
Where are you located? Whats your second and third choice?
Oakland, CA
RX350 with Navigation (without Comfort Pkg)
MSRP 45644
Paid 39500
Lexus buyers in Californa are really getting some awesome discounts.
Good Job
I am starting to compare features and more i look at it more I go away from RX. I don't know but I just don't see this care worth $40k, but that is just me..
Is it worth the difference in $$ ... I say no.
But the wife loves the Lexus ..... if she's happy ... I'm happy.
Need 2011 RX 350 Now........... LoL.........
rx350 awd msrp is 48,900 ( this includes a recent price increase? )
invoice around 44000.00
Sounds like a decent deal to me.
But now we are debating the porsche cayenne. But no real incentives except for the financing.
Another dealer in nj prestige offered 250 under invoice.
Here is my question though - how is the below deal even possible?
its 8k off of the msrp???
Went to a dealer in Rochester, NY, and was offered this:
AWD base $39025
Total accessories $8100
(Comfort pkg, 12-speakers, Nav, Prem pkg, Accy pkg, remote start, tow pkg, wood/leader trimmed)
Destination $875

2010 Lexus RX 350
4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
with comfort and Nav package $38,831.
A Ray catena dealer here in central NJ is offering me this at $37,551. Hoe does this sound to you guys?
Sounds like 2011 RX will be here soon... Lexus is trying to get rid of 2010s now..
For anyone who has purchased a Lexus CPO, did you receive the new car finance rates?
I got one from the window sticker .... where it says MSRP.
37,551 is an excellent price for a basic FWD model especially if you figure it on a percentage basis 12% plus discount.
Here's a deal for you Funguy .... in the 30s
37625 base FWD
2465 nav
1950 comfort
875 destination
42915 MSRP
37551 your price
5365 discount
Good Luck..
Use the Edmunds Auto Loan Calculator and it will give you the exact monthly payments.
I think it is a good time to buy the car as the dealers are more eager to make the sale as 2011 models are ready to roll. If you can wait till Christmas You may be able to get a little better prices but then the selection would be very limited if You are stuck on a particular colour and options package.
Start shopping around now and try to get the prices from the nearest dealerships You have access to.
Thankyou and keep us posted about your progress.

Is this a good deal?
I just purchased your same exact car
The price I'm getting is 42500.00
on the msrp of 48259.
Basically no dealers in ny will go under 43000
in my opinon.
42500
end of the month
push them.
I am looking into getting a new Lexus RX350 in MA, possibly going to dealers in Watertown, Sharon for Herb Chambers, and Danvers to check out the best pricing available. Just looking for any insight on what the invoice may be for an AWD with no nav; not really looking for particular options on the car other then black leather. I got an MSRP from one dealer of $44,724 for a few added bells and whistles. Am trying to get down more towards 36 low/high if at all possible...not sure if that is going to be a realistic price any time in the near future. Thanks for any input you may have!
For the car your are talking about (not stripped down) with an MSRP of 44,700 .... if you got it for 40,000 I think you would be doing real good.
look about 2 posts up ... eastsider just got a about a 12% discount on a car with nice equipment.
good luck
I've just started looking for an rx350 and was wondering if anyone has had experience with costco auto buying program. Are their negotiated prices good? I am looking for a base FWD with as few options as possible. Also, any recommendations for dealers/salespeople in central NJ area?
TIA.
rick in Va 43,700 on msrp 48,250
eastside in NY/NJ 42,500 0n msrp 48,259
dennis in MD 43,875 on msrp 48,259
CT audi in FL 42,200 on msrp 47,644
Adam NY/NJ 41,850 on msrp 48259
Many on the west coast are reporting much better prices.
Also keep in mind .... this is the internet .... it is possible some may overstate the deal they got. Many are frustrated trying to get the same deal, in the same area, as reported in the forum .... when several dealers let you walk, after making a similar offer as reported .... sorta makes you wonder.
Good luck
This is on a FWD with:
19" whls
Park assist
nav system
wood and leather steering wheel and shift knob
HID lights
comfort pkg
Prem. audio
preffered acc. pkg
prem. pkg.
I think a guy could do better at some of the dealers.
Keep up the great posts here.
Thanks,
Jim
Thanks.
Also where in CNJ as I am looking as well
Location: Central NJ
Equip: AWD, Prem, Comf, Accessory, NAV, Tow Prep, Wood Steer/Knob, Crossbars,
MSRP: $47,844 (inc Dest)
Sale: 42,300
Est $900 below invoice
They gave me 3.9% financing for 60 months but I will pay it off pretty quick. They also took my beatup 2001 RAV4 135000 miles for $3500. The car was in poor condition because it needed brakes, tires, and servicing. It also had a few dents.
I could have gotten a better price on the RX going to more dealers...but sometimes time = money. This is my wifes new car and having her spend a day at the dealer is major step to begin with.
The dealership was in Central NJ where demand is very high and negotiating is a little tough.
I did have a few quick questions...I noticed that my MSRP had a charge for Crossbars?? I don't see many others post that....I think I see almost every RX come with them...am I wrong?
Anyway, I'm happy this is over. The only other car we looked at was the SRX...nice car but was uncertain and didn't want to have regrets. I love the Smokey Granite Mica (Black Interior).
Truffle Mica was also nice....but the color really varies between indoor and outdoor.
