HEY GUYS, REGARDING MY POSTING HERE ON #915, DID I PAID TO MUCH FOR THIS CAR???. I SEE ALOT OF POSTING AT UNDER 40,000 DRIVE OFF. THATS 7,000 LESS THAN WHAT I PAID. ALSO THEY GAVE ME FINANCING AT 6.99% 5 YEARS.THANKS,GIANTSFAN
I read ur post yesterday and right off felt that you had overpaid. I mean I am getting a fully loaded 2008 AWD with nav, PP & rear entertainment with all the towing package, wheel locks, etc for 44.5k and I feel thats a bit too high as well. Did you shop around for other financing options. Banks are usually a tad lower than the dealerships, and in a place like DC metro area the Fed Credit Unions are offering 5-5.5% for new cars for 60 mos.
Thanks mbawhizguy, I did'nt shop at all, this was my first Lexus dealership that I when in, then got home and read some posting here,then the dealership call and made me a offer and I accepted. I thought it was a great deal when they gave me a 7000 discount and no back and forth hassel. I believed I can still go out and shop around for a loan at a cheaper rate, right?. Was your 44.5k out the door. Thanks for your posting-giantsfan2
andy1993 - my quotes in the Atlanta market are probably a little higher than what you'd be looking at because I'm interested in the AWD with the Nav AND Rear DVD system. With that being said, I've gotten initial quotes from all 5 of the Metro Atlanta dealers and Nalley in Smyrna came in lowest on the first round of internet quotes. In the next couple weeks, we'll go in for more negotiating before we finalize anything. One suggestion - I don't know where you're located in Alabama, but our first stop in negotiations is actually going to be Lexus of Chattanooga, who came in lower than all the Atlanta dealerships. You might want to check there as well as Atlanta. I've sent emails to all the Alabama dealers as well and none of them came near either the Atlanta or Chattanooga prices. Good Luck and let me know what you find.
Hey MBAWhizguy, Looks like your vehicle has almost the same options as what I'm looking for. I'm in Atlanta and finding an AWD vehicle here is near impossible. Where are the dealerships your working with? Was $44.5 out the door or car price? We're willing to travel to find the car we want at the right price. Up and down the east coast is not an issue. If anyone can provide info on a '08 AWD with Nav, DVD, and Towing Package I'd appreciate it.
Heu CrisV, Crackberry....I did not buy the vehicle yet, am in no hurry and actually just got back after test driving an ML 350 Benz. If I am paying approx mid 40's for a Lexus I might as well get the Benz. Anyways I am going to help you guys with all I can provide: The Pohanka Lexus at Chantilly rejected my 43.5k out of the door offer on a 2008 AWD, PP, NAV & DVD. I think he was looking at 44.5k OTD I spoke on the phone with CS, the internet mangaer in Lindsay Lexus of Alexandria and he quoted me 44.7 OTD for same config. Attached below is my email transcript with "SD" the internet manager of Lexus of Rockville:
"Venu, Leo had shown me this email, so I decided it is best for me to respond. Edmunds is not the true source of getting information for Lexus vehicles. They do not inform the customer of the actual features on a Lexus, so when customers decide they want this feature and don't want that feature it is not how Lexus sells their vehicles. We have 3 different models in the RX 350 without navigation, with navigation, and with navigation and DVD. The information that I will provide is from the manufacture themselves. That is where the real information comes from that Leo provided $500 over invoice on the RX 350 with navigation/DVD not Edmunds.
The information that you sent over is for the 2007 which the 2007's are long gone. The 2008 RX 350 which is shown below. Edmunds.com information that I found on this particular vehicle is so far from correct it is not funny. On Edmunds.com I found states that the MSRP is $47,445. The real MSRP Lexus tells us is $47,395. Optional equipment $7770 cost is $4673 wrong....actually the package is $7880 the invoice is $6615 in which Edmunds.com does not show you the correct invoice since they do not add the features to the vehicle. I can offer $42,653 for this vehicle. Again, $500 over invoice."
Sounds like they are willing to give it to me for 42653 + TTP which amounts to mid 44k. HOPE ALL OF THIS HELPS!! Keep me posted with your decisions. I will wait to get mine!!
Would like to purchase the above asap - premium plus w/ nav. Have a quote of $41,907 from Lexus of Madison, WI not incl any fees, ttl, etc. Can anyone pleeeez help me with a better option in WI or IL? Would obviously like to pay less. Thanks so much!!
2008 RX 350 FWD (Southern California - 8.25% tax):
Nav + Premium plus $3,000 drive off (includes $2K cap cost reduction, 1st month's payment, tax, registration, bank fees, etc.) $500 per month for remaining 35 months INCLUDING tax 57% residual after 36 months on a MSRP of $44,356 12K miles
I have to close on this tomorrow. Would appreciate any feedback.
Sounds pretty comparable to my deal on east coast: MSRP 45700 paid $40,700 (before tax, docs, reg) except mine has: AWD (+$1000), 5 spoke 18' wheels vs your 7 (-$100), no cargo mat (-$100), and mine has Premium Plus package. Get them to throw in the cargo net (-$120) installed to your deal!
I am in the process of buying a 350 RX(prem.plus and nav. system) at the Rockville dealership. I'm paying $40,900+tags and taxes. Nice dealership..better than Pohanka and Lindsey.
I'm in the process of getting the same deal from this dealer but they waived the $100 doc. fees. What was your final price with the tags,taxes and registration? Are you happy with your car and the dealership? Thanks
hi bundynike13 and crackberry. I am interested in getting the same deal. Can you email me your rep and does th 40,900 include dest charge as well? So all I pay is 40,900 + tax and tags? thx for the reply. i think that's the best price i've heard so far! I think also, they may work w/ you more since the new highlander came out as well.
Hi Coolblue123 - It's KrisV...looks like we've both decided the Lexus won out over the MDX. Did you ever get the name of the rep at Rockville? Sounds like they are giving great deals and we're willing to travel to get the best one. If you can email me the name or post here that would be great.
After not being able to find a nice 2005 for low 30's, I would like to find an 07 for 2500 under invoice. I am looking for AWD NAV only....local dealers do not have any 07s left over.
Does anyone know where 2007s can still be found in stock?
Good Luck trying to find an '07. The 2008's came out in February of this year so that's why you are having trouble finding an '07. You might want to look on Autotrader.com and search for New 2007's there.
Hi KrisV: Yeah, the wife won this war. I was looking at the new Highlander as well. It's a very plushy vehicle. But after all the options we've added it came up to 3K less than the RX. So the RX won. I am dealing w/ Jim over at Rockville. Very nice guy. No pressure, very easy going. I haven't purchased yet because, I am guesing the price of the RX will go down further as the Highlander becomes more popular. I am also interested in finding out what's this year's Dec. event going to offer as well. So I have some time to wait. We'll see.
But the Highlander is really worth looking into. The only complaint I have is the second row seating has turned into 2 individual seats instead of bench-style. More comfy but have to stretch to take care of kid in childseat.
Since you compared Lexus and Highlander in your post, I want to add my observations: for similarly configured cars, the quote I got for RX350 is 41,100, and for Highlander Limited 4x4 is 37,334, less than 4k difference. But note that Highlander is the new model, the same frame the next-generation RX will ride on, while the RX is the last-year model. I don't want to elaborate the differences of new vs. old models since this is a price paid forum, but it is good to drive a new-model instea of a old model....
Last week we bought Lexus RX 350 AWD, bought for $500 less than the below invoice, with 2 extra service and tank filled, in chicagoland area. Wondering if any one got a better deal? I got so much help from here and thought would share my research. I know, week of 9/23/2007 would be a better time to buy as it is the final of the qtr, when they would like to meet the incentive targets.

Spoke to all dealers nearby, and provided the dealer's internet managers multiple links from this forum. Here is my list of dealers: Woodfield, , Naperville, Bredemann, McGrath westmont and chicago, Arlington ,Peoria. I visited few of them and Arligton was the worst in terms of waiting you out and test your patience. I had a very similar experience with Honda in Schaumburg 2 years before. Seen all over the internet that BobRohrman dealerships are bad plus they ripe you off in service. The Peoria Lexus manager was pre-conceived that i would not buy from him since I am calling from chicago area, wheareas i would have bought from him if he had the right price. Come dealers mature - your trick of service etc., is standard requirements from management. Every dealer has to meet the std, if not you are fired. As for the car - it is made by toyota and no question on quality. It is great!!!!
Another thing: ============== Save your $39.99 to be spent on "FightingChance". If you were planning to buy do not buy. It does not give the entire break down like the one above. They infact roll up the first 3 items making me beleive that $34,338 is the invoice price. I got tricked into their cut right pre-buying conditions - led me to beleive they know a lot more. The other info they have is easily available in edmunds.com and http://www.carbuyingtips.com
Just wanted to share my experience. Bought at Prestige in Ramsey NJ. Salesman was Andrew Floyd. Car is a silver '08 AWD RX-350 with Nav, Premium Plus, Towing, 7-spoke wheels, Heated seats with RS wipers, cargo mat and wheel locks. MSRP was $45, 866. We paid $40,500 before taxes and tags.
Hi all, Got tons of help from this forum. Time to give my experience. Just bought the rx350 last weekend from Seattle dealer (not the Bellevue one).
2008 AWD 350 Premium Plus package NAV Liquid grahite 18" 7 spoke Towing prep Cargo mat Wheel lock Heat front seat and rain sensoring wiper MSRP + Destination: 45,101 + 715 = 45,816 Price paid: 40975 + tax on 9.25% + 50 doc + 180 license = 44,980 (around).
They are very professional and helpful. Just showed my quoted price from another dealer and get the price match immediately. The process is very straighforward, highly recommend them.
Btw, there is an option to install the transparent 3M film paint protection for fron hood. It looks good but charge $1290 on this, does anyone try it before and do you think it is worth it? thanks.
:confuse: Anybody bought a 2008RX in WI/IL/MN area? I have been offered a price of 39,000 Premium (Lux value) without NAV,with cruise.Includes destination charge. Title/Taxes/Reg extra. Any comments? I have a RX300,53K miles trade in offered 18.8K? Any comments on the package deal or suggestions
I am looking at a Program car that will be certified with 14,000 miles. This car was used as the loaner for my local dealership. Has the premium package.
Out the door price is 34,200.00. Is this a good deal?
My other choice is w/toyota: 4Runner - limited model, '07 new, out the door price 32,600.00. MSRP is 39,036.00
Please share with me your experience if you bought the car in mass area recently or you got better quote than mine.
I'm looking for 2008 RX350 AWD w/Nav + Premium plus in Massachusetts area. MSRP is $45,866. Got several quotes from local dealers. Best quote is $41,300. Although we noticed that the base invoice is $33,174 on one dealer's invoice, other dealers won't admit it. They insist $34,338 is the real base invoice as found at edmund.com/cars.com/Autos.msn.com. Any good advice to negotiate the price down?
2008 RX350 AWD Premium Plus package NAV Liquid grahite 18" 7 spoke Heat front seats w/ rain sensoring wiper Towing prep Cargo mat Wheel lock MSRP + Destination: 45,101 + 765 = 45,866
Looking for 2008 RX350 premium plus. Willing to travel anywhere within california to get the best deal. I hear people are getting less than invoice price. Since this is the final year model clearance, it should be possible to get well below invoice. Anyone who got any good deals in CA, please post. thanks in advance.
Even I am planning to buy Lexus RX 350 from chicago area. I got quote of around 42000 from McGrath. Could you kindly tell me the name of dealer (if possible sales person also) where you got this price? It will help a lot.
After using much information gathered on this forum, I just bought my new 2008 Lexus RX350 AWD. Here is the pricing breakdown: 2008 Lexus RX 350: Everything except Mark Levinson & Rear DVD. Includes 7 spoke Liquid Graphite wheels. MSRP: $45,866. (Invoice $40,907.00, Paid $40,907.00) 7 year/100,000 mile Lexus Platinum Warranty, $0 deductible: MSRP $2875, Paid $1800 Cargo Tray: $99 (I have a dog), Paid $0 Documentation Fee: $55.00 License Fee: $49.00 Registration Fee: $12.00 California Tire Fee: $8.75 Active Duty Military Discount for financing through Lexus Financial: -$750.
Total MSRP OTD (MSRP + Tax & Fees): $52,754.11 Total Paid OTD (including Tax & Fees): $45,256.31 Total off (off MSRP + saved taxes:$7,497.80
I know I probably have negotiated a little bit more, but it's tough to find an AWD with all the options that we wanted in California. Turns out not many people here want AWD. We're from the Northeast and I'm in the military, so you never know where we'd end up. Ordered it from Lexus in Carlsbad. Called ahead and let them know the price I wanted, salesperson was great. From in the door in the showroom to out the door, paperwork in hand: one hour exactly. Great buying experience. We pick it up some time next week.
I bought my RX 350 from Lexus in Glendale, CA. I paid $301 for License and another $28 for Elctronic filing to DMV. I see that you paid only $49? Was I overcharged for the License? But, when I got my registration in mail I saw on the registration card that the fee paid was $301. So, I think that is correct fee and may be you got a reduced fee on your purchase.
THIS IS ABOUT THE SAME PRICE I PAID FOR MINE IN CALIF AND SINCE I BROUGHT IT, I FEEL LIKE I PAY ABOUT 2,000 TOO MUCH. INFORMATION ABOUT MY CAR IS #915, THE CAR WAS BROUGHT LOADED. GOOD LUCK WITH YOURS.
No, I'm a New York State resident, so I received a discount on the license fee. Non-resident registration as active duty military. I'm pretty happy with the deal. I probably could have negotiated a little bit more (all weather mats, maybe another couple hundred). But it was the car that we wanted and I liked the sales guy.
Yes the RX 350 is a Breakwater blue and was picked up from the lot. Infact, they had two vehicles on the lot of the same configuration that I wanted, both made in Japan (JTJ VIN).
Yes, I am an Environmental Engineer working in water/wastewater field. By not choosing Env Engg, you have missed out on a lot of exciting stuff...remember the treatment plants?
env_engr: Good choice on the breakwater blue - that is what I am looking for too. By the way, how many times did you have to go back and forth with the dealer to get below invoice?
Well..I did negotiate with a couple of other dealers, everything done over phone. I almost had about $2,000 off of invoice from Keyes Lexus in Van Nuys, but when I went to close the deal, I did not like the attitude of the manager there. So, walked away from Keyes and talked to the other two dealers and finally sealed the deal with Lexus Glendale at $1,300 below invoice. All the negotiations were spread over 4-5 days from start.

Would you be able to share the specs and the price you paid for your RX 350.
If anyone else has had any experience with Lindsay Lexus or Lexus of Silver Spring - then do share.

Out the door price is 34,200.00. Is this a good deal?

not sure which is better - help and thanks."
Stormylolo
In my experience, the 4Runner is a much less refined ride than the RX.. Not necessarily a bad thing... Much better AWD system and more rugged.
For the price, I'd take the new 4Runner over the demo RX..
But, that's just me...
