I agree with you with walking away on that deal, you can do better as can be seen on this site by other consumers.
I am going to take a trip out to Oakhurst with my friend this month to see how well they will negotiate if you want to join in for a group deal of 3 truck sales I will be happy to let you know when we plan to go ?
Did you mention Joe's deal when you went ? If so what response did they give you ? I brought sideways3 deal with me to Freehold and they said no way possible and since they could not confirm the deal they would not come close to that number of 41.2K
also you can always wait out until August when they are looking to bring in the 2011 and sitting on these trucks

If this is true, then the "Lexus Experience" stinks. I can only get the configuration I want from out of state. I can’t believe that Lexus’s focus on customer service would mean that a customer couldn’t get the car he wants. The “Lexus Experience” has got to be better than Ford’s old “you’ll get what you want as long as its black.”
Have you experienced this? Is Lexus corporate forcing their dealers to not serve distant clients? Or maybe my dealer got cold feet?
Thanks.
I showed him carsdirect.com and told him I could get the car for $43.500. He went back and forth a few times and settled at $43,000 even. That's around $1,200 over invoice but had to relent because this is a new year model and this package was hard to come by apparently. I called a few dealers in the area and no one had the color/.package combo I wanted.
So I think $42,282 is a good deal. Maybe you should tell him you would settle for $42,500 and that's your final offer. Oftentimes I would tell them that and walk away, only to have them call me back the next day. You should try that since the month is almost over.
I am a paitent man and number conscious (being a CPA). I would have waited till December if it wasn't the baby that's coming.
$41k is an impossible price for that pacakge. That's around invoice and Lexus will not sell a brand new model around that price. Despite the economy brand new models are still expensive and RX is one of their best selling models.
You could ask for $500 over invoice for an IS, since those cars are EVERYWHERE and the newness factor is gone. I still recall Lexus asking near MSRP when the IS first came out.
In short your deal is fine. Dealer now know people do online research and they appear to have some type of collusion going where they all quote the exact same price. This happened with BMW. They all offered me a "final" price that was exactly the same.
Sorry to ramble but I hoped I helped. Love the Lexus. Hate the buying experience.
I'm in Central NJ. and I am looking at the same car as you, fully equiped It list at about 55K and dealer invoice is 49K. It does have to be ordered from factory and will take about 3 months. Ray Catena discounted the standard model (list 46+ K) about $4,000. That was without negotiating. I'm pushing to get the car for close to dealer invoice.
The salespeople are not too interested in a factory order since they will not get commission until delivered to you. It really is not much more work for them, other than to write up the order. One guy at Ray Catena said I would have to put down $5,000 on a special order; complete nonsense.
I'm curious about another post that mentioned new options soon. Does anyone have anymore info.
PS: I had a 2005 RX which I thought was one of the worst cars I've ever had but this new one overcame the objections and really stepped it up a few notches with the technology. I drove it twice and was very impressed.
I believe it was my that mentioned more cars are coming. I recently looked into buying it thru a car broker, and she was the one that told me that after checking with a few dealers. she said Lexus are now making more cars with more options now. Up to now, it is very difficult to find any RX's with Mark Levinson or Head up display or park assist, but she said you will start seeing them soon (maybe w/i the next few weeks).
I am a little concerned about your 2005 RX. Like what kind of problems did you have with your 2005? Have you doen enough researches to see if 2010 has fixed all these problems.? I have a ES 330 and I love the way it drives, extremmely comfortable and smooth, I know the suspension on the 2010 RX are much better, but wonder how it is compared to my ES ?? I dont mind bying another ES again, except I dont like the interior of the current ES ....
I am trying to wait until at least Sept or even until December to buy my RX, but I am still researching.
thanks
Joe

Thanks for the info. One other ? did you get the wood steering wheel and shift knob? Sounds like you got a geat car. How do you like it so far? Was the salesman/dealership easy to deal with? If so what were the salesmans initials (no aloud to list Name).
Thanks so much .
Congrats on the new truck!! That is a great deal, let me ask you did you deal with the salesmen GL there? just curious as that is who I was dealing with
what color did you go with? Thanks Chris
Also, what was the MSRP and final price, excluding taxes, fees etc of your new vehicke.?
Thank you.
I have wood steering. Mine is black. I love it. The salesman/dealership were very nice and helpful. I worked with SS. He even helped me setup my phone-pairing function. I love that feature. He also helped me get better loan rates. Great experience with them! I called other dealers. Freehold's offer is the best one I could get. I sold my old car on last Saturday. Actually I was in a rush to get a new car. So I end up delivering my old car and getting my new car in NJ at the same day!
When I built your car on Edmunds site the MSRP was 44,393 and that does not include the cargo mat,cargo net and wheel locks. Those would increas the MSRP to 44,618. Any idea why the difference ?
Also where there any dealer fees in addition to taxes,tags, and registration?
Thanks again
Purchased a 2010 RX350, AWD, Nav, Premium Pkg, Comfort Pkg, Wood & Leather, 12 speaker premium audio for Nav, Tow Prep Pkg, 19' wheels. MSRP was 47,285 (including 875.00 delivery, dest. charge). Paid 43,730. Financed balance after trade at 5.5% for 60 months.
This was at Kuni Lexus in Littleton, Colorado.
Best regards,
Bob
I am about to sign the following lease and need to know if it's fair.
2010 RX 350
10k miles per year
$43,285 list
$39,800 sell
$585.00 per month
$1804.00 out of pocket to include $585 first month, $700 bank fee, $274.00 motor vehicle, $238.00 documentation, and the balance is tire tax.
I have never leased a lexus so I am not sure if all the fees are standard. Please advise as soon as possible as I must make a decision in the morning.
Thanks,
JON from NJ
I am still working on deals and pricing around, also my friend is doing the same as we are both looking for the same options. He got an offer right off the bat for $42.8 from Bayridge so I may actually end up leaving the Catena dealerships after years of dealing with them.
Waiting to the end of the month is definitely the way to go because they want those sales in that monthly count.
I am looking to trade in my current RX2004 or was going to sell it on my own since the dealer really lowballed my truck trade in value.
Good deal to sell your old one and drive off the new one same day, perfect planning. Lot of luck
I've located several in the central to eastern PA area. All are 2009 models with 13K-18K miles. Most of the asking prices from four different dealers are in a very narrow range of about $36,000 - $37,000.
What should I pay for one of these vehicles in an all-cash deal?
Based on other research I'm considering opening with an offer about 8% to 10% below the dealer price. Am I in the ballpark?
I'll appreciate any advice based on your experiences. Thanks.
I received an offer $5k below MSRP but this was on a loaded 50k vehicle.
I am trying to get an AWD with premium package for under 40k.
Thanks for your input about RX350 deal in Miami.
Try Eric Saltz at Warnock in East Hanover. Great price and servce. Tell him Jon S. sent you. Flawless car and took just 10 minutes to sign all the paperwork.
GOOD LUCK.
JON

I highly recommend this dealership. The salesperson (CM) I dealt with was very professional and was willing to make a deal on the phone/email.
Did you initially deal with the dearlership via internet?
I bought my current 2004 RX there and got a great deal when I purchased this one, waited until end of August and end of stock available which I finds helps out a lot with new models and negotiating
definitely going to try my hand at Oakhurst again, went to Catena in Freehold and they would not budge from $44,5 for the vehicle you bought
thanks again and good luck to you
