    hi ravi-

    i had an amazing experience at sewell lexus in dallas. i emailed the internet department and got an amazing deal on a new gx (over 700 under invoice). i was comparing the gx and the rx and decided to go for the seven seater. they are even shipping my car to me in new mexico. i highly recommend sewell in dallas!

    I have negotiated prices by email:
    2008 without navigation about 37,000 out the door (~14k miles)
    2008 with navigation about 38,500 out the door (~11k miles)
    2009 without navigation about 39,500 out the door

    Any thoughts on whether navigation or 2009 are worth the extra dollars? They are otherwise identical.

    Much appreciated!

    I just bought a RX350 AWD 2009
    with Nav, premium package and etc.
    Base: $3,9100.00 + option: $6,221.00
    Destination: $765.00
    Total: $46086.00 (sticker price)
    Paid: $40,800.00 (including the destination)
    Cash, no finance, no trade-in

    The dealer told me the one with a base price
    $38,900 is one sitting in the lot for
    about 3 months and the one I got is the one
    just shipped in fresh. I am not sure this
    is true.

    I sent out the request for the quotation (I think on June 23)
    to 5 different dealers through all car-related
    web-sites and negotiated the price by phone and e-mail.
    I cut the price down and made the total price
    $40,800.00 with 2 dealers.
    My local dealer made me a firm offer price (out the door)
    ~$43,400.00 so, I walked and drove about 50 mins
    to a different dealer.
    After tax (Delaware) and all other fees,
    I paid $42,261 (out the door).

    I don't like haggling much and the offer price
    did not seem to change much from dealer to dealer
    at some point, so I purchased mine on June 27 Friday.
    The very next day (Jun 28, sat) morning, one dealer made
    me an offer of $37,700.00. Even $3,000 cheaper than
    what I paid! (but, 2 hour driving distance from my place
    and they don't have the color I like.)

    Conclusion: I am not sure I paid a fair price for my
    vehicle but, I got the colors (ext/int) I like with
    over $5,000 off the sticker. I have no idea what
    the actual dealer invoice price is though.
    And as many people point out, at the end of each month,
    quarter, especially close to the end of June, it seems you can
    get a better deal.

    I bought a 2008 RX350 without navigation for 36,600 out the door in the DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia area. Other options included a 2008 with navigation (just over 40,000 out the door at 2 dealers) and 2009 with navigation for 43,300 out the door. Based on the prior email, maybe should have waited one more day for the 2009 with navigation ... but it is still better than I was hoping when I first started looking ... and the car is simply fantastic. Good luck to anyone making a deal today. This forum was very helpful to me.

    I have been reading all the posts for the past day or so in this forum, but I must admit I am still a bit confused. I am looking to buy on 08 or 09 RX350 AWD with the premium package + heated seats in the next day or so. However, I am still unclear what type of incentives are out there for dealers and how much over/under invoice I should be trying to negotiate for either an 08 or an 09. If anyone could help me out, I would truly appreciate it. Also, if anyone has found a good dealer in the OH/KY/IN/PA area, I would also be very appreciative of any recos. Many thanks.

    Hi,

    I just purchased a new 2008 rx350 2wd. I negotiated down to $1028 under invoice. I purchased my car in S. Florida. The dealership had 3 2008's left with about the same options, including mine. I was at the dealership for 3 hours negotiating, but finally got a number that was good for me. I got the following options - Nav w/ Mark Levinson luxury value package, Rear entertainment(I didn't want this, but the car already had it and I used it as a bargaining tool), Graphite Finish Wheels, Heated seats w/ rain sensing wipers, Towing prep, cargo mat, and wheel locks. I basically let them know that I would take an 08 for the right price. I stated that the 09's have been out for a while and the new redesign was coming next year, so I would take an 08 for the right price. After being patient and saying no to several prices they gave me, I worked with the Finance Manager to get the monthly payment to where I was comfortable with it. And now I am a happy new owner of an rx350. Good luck in your search. I wanted to contribute after reading the posts on here which helped me make my purchase.

    Many thanks -- I am currently using this as my negotiation benchmark. Not quite there yet, but I am getting close. :)

    Just closed the deal on my RX350 AWD in Truffle Mica with Navigation System, they added front window tinting and paid both destination charges from one dealership to the other. Lexus in Austin had to swap one of their vehicles with the OH location in order to get me the color and options I wanted.

    Paid cash $41,000-hope I did not pay too much. They originally wanted 45,199
  • futureboyfutureboy Member Posts: 3
    I am deciding between Acura MDX or Lexus RX350. I will be happy with either car, but want to buy one that is a better deal.

    I currently have a quote for $40,300.00 + Tag/Tax/Title. And $43,400.00 for Nav package. Does this seem low?

    Thank you in advance,

    :confuse:
  • mikey777mikey777 Member Posts: 9
    Grejay, Would it possible for you to email me or post the dealership who offered you $37,700? I'm in the New York/New Jersey area and am looking to purchase the 2009 RX350 with the Navigation package. The best price I'm getting here is $41k. Much obliged. Thank you.
  • carlovernjcarlovernj Member Posts: 77
    Hi Mikey777,

    You should contact Prestige Lexus in Ramsey NJ. I bought an '08 Rx350 with Navigation at Prestige for $38k + tax, title, etc. That was back in March when they had dealer incentives to sell '08 RX's as the '09's were arriving. (But I'm sure you can get a great deal on a 2009).

    Please email me at greatwicked@comcast.net and I can provide you the salesman's name. He was extremely nice, not pushy, and had an excellent demeanor. Prestige has an enormous inventory, just check out their website, they are one of the only dealers that shows their inventory online.

    Good Luck!
  • grejaygrejay Member Posts: 2
    Sure. The dealership is located in New Jersey and the name is
    Ray Catena Lexus. They told me they are one of three largest inventories
    in US and the largest in the east or something.
    However, as I mentioned in the prev. posting,
    I am not sure you can get a same deal now. A couple of days
    before I got that e-mail offer, I asked them for a $40,000 deal
    but, they turned it down. Maybe, you can try it near (very close to)
    the end of July, I guess? You can e-mail me at grandportage@hotmail.com
    for further question. Good luck!

    Hi all. I have a 2005 Lexus RX 330 that i bought certified pre-owned in 2006. It isn't a Nav. It has 46,600 miles, is in good condition and has had no accidents. Looking around on the car valuation sights i see values of :

    Edmunds: 25,946 Private Party
    KBB: 23,605 Private Party
    Nada: 29,875 retail. 26,350 private party

    I live in the NYC metro/NJ shore area and put it in:
    Craigslist
    Large Newspaper,
    Autoshopper magazine
    My company's buy sell rent sight
    I am currently asking $25,500

    I haven't had a single bite. What am i doing wrong? How do i unload this car? Shoudl i bother with carmax? are there other services?
    I thought about trading in, but one dealer gave $22,000 and another gave $18,000 (2k less than KBB trade in. I was definitely insulted)

    What gives? What should i do?
  • liukevinliukevin Member Posts: 2
    Hi,

    Can anyone post their Lexus buying experiences in WA areas? I have seen lots of amazing deals in the East coast but not in the West. I live in Seattle and most quotes getting so far are not so good. Thanks for replying!
  • mikey777mikey777 Member Posts: 9
    bebegirl, having had your truffle mica rx350 for couple of weeks now, what do you think about the color? are you glad you got it? did you have any reservations about the color? wondering if we should pull the trigger on the truffle mica or go with the obsidian black. thanks!
  • lexx2lexx2 Member Posts: 5
    Swotavator,
    Today must be your day! My wife is looking for a 2005 or 2006 RX330.
    Our dealer will let us test drive over the week-end.
    What color? New tires? I guess we can live without nav.
    Problem is, I live in the Cleveland area, my dealer is Metro Lexus and they treat us very well - being this would be our 3rd Lexus.
    Can you send a picture?

    KBB and NADA and Edmunds Used Car Pricing has no relationship to reality. Why they get away with building a business around their pricing data is beyond me. Dealers get their pricing from Galves. www.galves.com

    Hi there,

  • mikey777mikey777 Member Posts: 9
    Hi,
    I've been reading this post and went to A.F. at Prestige in NJ (upon a posting recommendation). I have to say he was very nice and pleasant to work with. He also gave me a really good price. He was great to work with because he didn't have an attitude and was very reasonable.
  • kev458kev458 Member Posts: 3
    Was your SUV a AWD or FWD? Thanks KR
  • kev458kev458 Member Posts: 3
    May I know what you paid and which options did you get?

    Thanks KR
  • jake135jake135 Member Posts: 1
    I'm looking for that type of car for my wife. We used to own Lexus 330 2004. If the car is still available please do not hesitate to send me a message. I live in Maryland area. Please tell color and all associated information about the car conditions. Again, if and only if, you still desperately to sell your car or your car still in the market, please let me know I'm very to buy the Lexus. I sold my car to CarMax dealer with the underprice.
  • mikey777mikey777 Member Posts: 9
    Kev458,
    Hi, it was with navigation, awd for $41k.
  • swadeheadswadehead Member Posts: 2
    I am also going to Prestige this weekend. Did you also have the premium Plus Package? What about heated seats? A list of the exact options you got would be helpful.

    Thanks.
  • mikey777mikey777 Member Posts: 9
    Yes, including heated seats, premium. It's fully loaded.

    Hello People,

    I am trying to sell my 2004 Lexus RX330 AWD which I bought in 2005 as a Certified Car from Local Lexus Dealer in St.Louis, MO. I bought this puppy for $35K initially.
    I am trying to sell it for $28K. It has:

    49000 Miles
    Navigation System (Built In)
    Mark Levinson Audio,
    Rear Entertainment System w/Bose HeadPhones
    Rearview Camera
    Dual Zone Temperature setting.

    What should the reasonable price be for the Vehicle to sell @?
  • sethnagasethnaga Member Posts: 50
    Which is a better deal?

    2009 Lexus RX 350 FWD Navi & Premium plus: 39K + TTL (900 below invoice)
    Acura MDX with Tech package: 38K + TTL (2000 Below invoice); I can even push it little more.

    I am confused. The Lexus does not have have 3rd row seat, but higher resale value, Looks like Acura deals are much better compared to lexus. I like both cars, but this will be mainly driven by my wife

    Thanks for your opinions
  • pbrainpbrain Member Posts: 2
    Greetings Liukevin...I have had a horrbile time with our Puget Sound Lexus dealers...they conduct themselves as if they are the next best thing since running water!!! Bellevue is super arrogant and Lexus of Seattle...just flat out will not negotiate from the invoice price. I may try my luck with a Northern California dealership just because their are more Lexus dealership down there.
  • kermitfrogkermitfrog Member Posts: 15
    The best I've negotiated in Seattle is for $41,400 AWD, premium value, navigation/bluetooth, this is for Seattle Lexus, Bellevue gave me a quote close to $42,000, Fife is just darn crap to deal with... way too pushy and arrogant! But, I've contacted a couple of Northern California dealerships and received the lowest quote for $39,000 plus TTL+DMV charges, this is for an AWD, premium w/navigation. It was towards the end of the month when I received this awesome quote, that dealership had to meet their monthly quota. I think it's worth taking a 1-way flight and driving my car back to Washington. If anyone in the Pacific Northwest would like to purchase in Cali, maybe we could strike out a $38,500 deal if I can get at least a couple of people to purchase all at once.

    I am also looking pretty aggressively and i live in CA , Can you give me the dealer dealer details.

    Thanks
  • pmaipmai Member Posts: 5
    Hi,
    I am also looking for RX350 in San Jose, CA, but I don't know what is the option included for an AWD, premium w/navigation. Can you show me the option please.
    Thank you very much for your time.

  • pmaipmai Member Posts: 5
    Hi,
    Would you please let me know all the options you have for this $39,762.00 RX350.
    Thank you very much.
    pmai
  • kermitfrogkermitfrog Member Posts: 15
    fighter2, this was negotiated at the Putnam Lexus... you may want to try dealing towards the month's end to get the best deal.
  • kermitfrogkermitfrog Member Posts: 15
    If you need to know the options, go to Lexus.com and build your own RX350 with the AWD navigation/bluetooth premium value edition and you'll see what it includes. It's the usual: rain sensing wipers, heated seats, etc..
  • lexuskinglexusking Member Posts: 11
    I am in the market for a RX350 2008 or 2009. Can you guide me; which dealer and/or who should I deal with to get such price? You definitely have great negotiating skills? ;) I am in Rockville, MD area
  • pmaipmai Member Posts: 5
    I am in San Jose, CA. I get a quote of $38,859.00 +TTL for Crystal White RX350 FWD, PP+ w/ Navigation System in Pleasanton. I am still negotiating for a little bit lower, $38,000. That is $1,433.00 below invoice.
    If you have question, please ask.
    Take care,
    pmai
  • lexuskinglexusking Member Posts: 11
    is that 08 or 09? The best offer I have is 40,400 for AWD 09 with Nav pack :confuse:
  • pmaipmai Member Posts: 5
    Hi,
    It is 2009 FWD. They don't budge. It firmed at $38,859.00.
    That means you and I got the same quote; $1400.00 more for AWD.
    Best regard,
    pmai
  • jiajing0223jiajing0223 Member Posts: 2
    I am going to get a RX 350. Right now, it's said Lexus is having Summer Sale Event, the dealers are offering the best value of the year. Can anyone tell is it the best time to get a lexus in a year? :confuse:
  • bmlexusbmlexus Member Posts: 755
    I have a question for RX350 owners?

    Guys and gals don't you look at the looks of the new infiniti or the new x5 or x6 when buying the RX?

    Im really trying to convince myself to get the RX but the looks just doesn't seem to work for me.

    But I do trust lexus engine reliability the most.

    I have been very tired waiting for the new RX or a newer SUV but lexus doesn't seem to bother.

    I really like the X6 but the mark ups are really high might end up with the new FX or the cayenne doesn't seem to have much choice...
  • travispetetravispete Member Posts: 24
    Picked up an RX350 2009 with PP+, Nav, Grey, 18" 7 spokes, Heated Seats, Towing for 39100, plus I got out of my prior lease a few months early. Total payment 560 incl tax, 1350 D.Offs, 36 mo/10k
  • fighter2fighter2 Member Posts: 5

  • pmaipmai Member Posts: 5
    Hi,
    Anyone live in the Bay Area and wants a deal on RX FWD w/ NV, PT, HH, FT, TO, C1 & WL. I got one last night for $38,398 plus TTL.
    Email me for detail.

    Hi,
    I am buying '09 RX350 at the end of the month w/ premium plus package w/ NAV and rear seat DVD. I see that the MSRP is about 46k but they are having the summer sale event so I wanted to know if anyone can suggest a good price level to go into a NY dealer with? Also if I have great credit should be able to hold them to the 2.9% financing?
    Thanks
  • rsy320rsy320 Member Posts: 1
    I was offered 08 RX350 AWD with Premium Plus package and with 15k miles for $33,000 (before tax). Is this a good price? I think it was a dealer loaner... Oh. it has CPO coverage 3/100k.
  • kermitfrogkermitfrog Member Posts: 15
    fighter2, I need an email address to send you the dealer info since we're not allowed to post names in the forum.

    pmai, the extra $100 off is an awesome deal for a FWD.
