2013 and earlier Lexus RX 350 Prices Paid and Buying Experience

lw914

chrisny, I initially dealt with them via internet. In fact, I submitted a quote request from this site.

$44,500 seems to be a bit high, it's even higher than the quotes I got from other dealerships around NYC and westchester. Take your time to find the best deal, like you said wait until end of August to get the best deal.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

When my local Lexus dealer let me walk (in 99 and again in 07) they said I wouldn't get the free loaner if I purchased elsewhere and came there for service. Guess what? Service manager told me sales and service are two different departments and they will do whatever is necessary to keep me happy. So, I get the gourmet breakfast, free loaner and quick-and-dirty car wash anyway; despite what the sales department told me! Actually I usually go to a Toyota dealer for service, same parts and level of competence at about half the price unless you have warranty issues, which are highly unusual.

What was your agreed upon price-your cap cost? That can help determine if good deal. Any trade in? Previous Lexus owners also get a break on the money factor.
Thanks!

I live in VA, i'm going to buy 2010 RX350. Anyone knows the price please give some advices.
Thanks.

Hi Qwik,
Have you got your car yet? I live in DC area and going to buy RX350 too. Please let me know how about the price compares with the invoice and the lealer where you bought.
Thanks

I purchased a RX350 in April at Pohanka Lexus in Chantilly (on Rt 50 near Centreville Road). I paid about $1,000 over invoice, which, at that time was a decent price. I'm sure that you can get it for less now. There was no pressure and the folks were very nice to work with. The finance guy will try to sell you the normal amount of add-ons (I have never heard of "ding" insurance), but, as a matter of principal, I never buy anything other than the car. If you want the extended warranty, wait a few months and then compete it among several dealers - you will be amazed at how much the price drops.

I did not use dealer financing - they could not meet the pre-approved loan I had from the credit union, so I can't tell you how that experience is there. Car has had no problems and they seem to have an outstanding service department (at a price, of course). There are many Lexus dealers in the DC area - try to contact all their internet sales persons and run a competition. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Good luck with your purchase.

I'm in Richmond VA and looking to get a 2010 RX350 AWD w/ Navigation, Premium and Comfort Packages.

I got a quote from Newport News dealership that was $47k out the door which seems really high to me. Still waiting on a few other dealerships to give me their quotes.

What does everyone else think? Anyone else in VA recently purchase and finance one? Thanks for any help in advance.

No trade in. $38,500

I purchased a 2010 RX350 AWD with premium + comfort + nav (MSRP $46766) over the weekend. Here is my buying experience:
I read the posts on this web site and have gotten the invoice prices from Edmunds and CR. I set my target at $42K + tag + taxes. I contacted five Lexus dealerships by emails in Washington DC area. I went to two of them to test drive. Most negotiations were done by phone and internet. They all started to say it was below their invoice prices and no body would sell at this price. They would like to have around $43K. I told them my sources support the actual invoice was $800 (before the holdback) below my offer. Three of them relented and came down in price. Their best prices were $42000, $41900 and $41700. I ultimately purchased from the one at $41900. This dealer has the most convenient location for me and I had purchased my previous RX from it 10 years ago. The dealer offered at $41700 did not have the color I liked and I would have had to wait for two weeks to get one.
Overall, it was a good experience. I think I did pretty well on this purchase. Thanks for this web site. I am very happy about this RX, especially the navi system. I have a Honda Odyssey with nav and I think this 6th generation navi is even better. Good luck everyone on your purchase.

See many people talking about car price. But I found car is real different each other even same model. I got 25+ MPG so far. (80% high way). even better than my Honda accord . be happy with it.

kyfdx

That's because this is a pricing discussion.. :surprise:

Please choose one of the more general RX discussions, if you wish to discuss other issues..

Thanks!

Thank you for the good advice. I'll try to do it and let you know how it come out.
Thanks again.

Going to pick up RX on Thursday MSRP is 47200 (Nav, Comfort, Premium, Tow Prep, Wheel locks, Cargo mat, cargo net, wood steering, remote start) Paid 42,397 before taxes and fee's. I think I did pretty good. Deal did not involve a trade it.

chrisny

lw914 , thanks so much for the information

I will definitely keep you all posted.
Looking to head out to Oakhurst the last week of the month and see what kind of prices they are offering.

I think Freehold was just holding out because I was there in the start of the month

Enjoy the truck! I am sure you are loving it

jerry116

what I want to say is price 1k higher or lower doesnt make any different. car actually different each other. Dealers know which car is better and which one might have small defect. so they always let you select car first then negociate the price. be sure you get a fair price with a good car.

mesquandolas

They may know a little bit about some of the cars, but honestly how would they know anything about the 5 different cars I looked at that all had 2 or 3 miles on them? Perhaps a car gets dinged/scratched a little on the way to the dealer and they cover that up. I can believe that. But I don't think dealers would know if any of the undriven cars are mechanically superior to the rest of them.

FYI, I'm getting 23.5 MPG in 75% highway, 25% city mixed driving w/ my new RX 350. It replaces an 06 400h that got about 26 MPG, so I'm pretty pleased, especially for about $100/month less.

Those of you paying around 42,000-$42,500 for Nav, Prem, Comfort, etc. cars -- that seems to be the lowest that all the dealers I talked to were willing to go in June.

nzdreamin

I live in Boise, ID, and we only have 1 Lexus dealer. I am willing to drive/fly to p/u a car. Does anyone have any suggestions? Maybe Northern California, Oregon, Washington or Nevada? I'm looking for a 350 with Navigation, Premium Pkg.

degirl

Which dealership?
Thanks

psumvp

Great information thanks jcl2k5. We are looking at purchasing an identical RX in the next few weeks in the DC area. We were also receiving the same quotes of just over 43k. Would you be able to supply the dealers that came down below 42? Were you working with their internet sales person (we have found that person to be ineffective at one local DC dealer).

Thanks,
Matt

kcleveland1

Where do you live?

jerry116

little bit different is already good enough to make the price 1k up or down. Some inspection doesnt have to get miles up. Start engine and just park there listen the engine noise from inside and outside. Put your hands on the stealwheel feel the vibration. I found the new car was different. Where made also is another fact. Many people are favour Japan made so Jxxx Pin is expensive a little bit than Canada made.
anyway, what I want to say is when you negotiate the price, at the same time be careful the car which you would get even all brand new.

kolojlaw

I have a deal offered for $1300 total drive off (including first month payment, license/reg/doc fees etc); 36mos and $687/mo including CA tax of 9.25%; Car is equipped with Navigation system, blue tooth, ipod etc. Anyone think this is a bad deal or did better? :confuse:

mesquandolas

687/mo seems a bit high. What price is the car being sold for? What money factor? How many miles? In NY, I was finding leases on Nav/Premium/Comfort for 599ish.

Hi:
Call eric Saltz at Warnock in East Hanover. Best price and service in NJ.
Thanks,

I just turned in my 2007 RX350 and got a new one for $42.2 w/Prem, Comfort, NAV, cross rails, etc...Very happy with it. I looked at many, many cars before making my decision, and Lexus really represents a nice blend of safety, mileage for its size and comfort. It has the nicest paint as well.

goblue5

Eastern US is supplied by those RX made in Canada since 2004. A salesman told me they have lower number of defects than those made in Japan. Can someone confirm that?

sxylxy

I purchased my 2007 RX with Mark Levinson and DVD because I knew that those only came from Japan (VIN starts with J). Last month, my oil line blew up due to a defect that others are experiencing as well. I'm not sure that the part was supplied to all of the builds (Canada as well as Japan), but it happened to mine.

jerry116

Dealer sales wont tell the truth but just tell you the car they have are the best. I saw some others discuss this topic on other website. Japan made definitely has better quality & relability, not just Lexus, not just car, all products overall. When people sell their car, they like to say their car was made in Japan. Do you see anyone want to mention their car was made in Canada ?

Quality and Relability came from three major facts. 1 design, 2 parts, 3 labor+manufacture control.
Design are all the same. Parts are different ( I believe 30% parts are different ). labor is different. You make your judgement.

drfr2

Thats a good deal. can you please post the MSRP of the vehicle and the dealer you got if from name city and state?

drfr2

yes when you list state please also list dealer-- good pricing

tennis_lexus

I live in DC area, and I'm going to get RX350. Please let me know what dealer and the saleman.
Thank you

No Trade, MSRP from $48410 in CA, be patience, deal with internet seller first, then you can deal with other dealers.

czar8878

nomosno1

I live in Boca Raton, Florida and I am lookimg to purchase a Lexus RX350 2010
In the next month can u tell me the best dealership.......

pihops

Just got a 2010 rx AWD comfort, premium, nav , ect ect msrp 47,500 selling 42,500
at JM Lexus. Black on beige. Beige is nice but get ridiculously dirty, take black inside

rparis

Sounds as if you did quite well with a $5000 discount. What was your approach when negotiating?

pihops

It was pretty easy, I just ask for it

Seriously I read this forum and simply asked for the price other people seems to be able to reach.

If you ask for a price that is realistic and are firm on it, then they cave without asking too much. They main trick I think is to avoid any phone conversation as they feel obliged to give you all their 'crap'.

Email really help. But don't ask for the price until you find the right car (color, options..)

They also tried to sell me 6.99% APR financing, when I told them I would go with my bank the finance guy left saying he could not do anything about it. 10 minutes later he offered me the Lexus customer plan at 5.7%

Aside of that, the experience was pretty seemless. I was a bit of a pain client as I test drove the car 3 times and they are more used to one test drive and sign.

Main thing that I think shoudl change is that they should really have a loaner car of each model ready to go for you with a simple signature. Instead I had to play the waiting game for each test drive. Not that bad, but really what would it cost to have a car just there in the front.

just my 2 cents.

BTW, I had same discount at 3 other dealership. so the 5k under MSRP is totally possible. The new RX doesn't sell as well as they expected I think and inventory is pilling up, at least on the 2WD.

fireman19

Lexus of Towson....If you have patients....they will eventually get to your price. Good Luck

Lexus of Towson in Baltimore. Saleswoman's name is L.I.

smarty666

Just wanted to add my two cents here because I was interested in leasing a 2010 RX350 or a 2009 ES350. I've read other people on this discussion running into the same problem with Lexus dealers in central New Jersey. Thompson Lexus , Lawrence Lexus and Lexus of Bridgewater were unwilling to negotiate at all on both the RX or ES. In fact, these dealers gave a worse residual on the ES sedan than the RX which I couldn't believe because the RX was newer, a 2010 compared to a 2009 that is almost at the end of its model year, and the RX was more money on its MSRP obviously. When I told them their residual was worse on the sedan than the RX they didn't no what to say. Suffice it to say I walked out and didn't get anything because I was completely turned off. I was trying to get them to come down only 1% and they wouldn't even do that. You would think with all these car makers having loss sales in June would do what they could to get the cars off their lots. What makes no sense is the ES sedan will be coming out in just a couple months with a mid-life cycled model for 2010 so you would think these Lexus dealers would want to start getting rid of their 2009 models. I've heard on this forum that Ray Catena in Oakhurst and Lexus of Edison are the only ones in central NJ willing to try and negotiate a better deal on both their financing and leasing. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up and try to help steer people to dealers willing to not waste your time and tell you they'll work with you, string you along, and then won't come down anything on their offer.

tennis_lexus

Thank you for your valuable information. I got AWD RX350 in MD with the price $500 over the invoice. As some one did mention in this site, you get all the invoice option prices from Edmund, find the car you love and test drive. Request to print out the option sheet for that car and list the entire invoice price for every single option you have plus delivery charge. Start to negotiate as the invoice price or below and move up by couple hundred. It may depends on the time table for the car on the lot and depend on how good you are. Good luck and thanks to all on this site.

rparis

What was the MSRP and price before taxes, fees etc?

Thank you.

lexuscarguy

$5k discount on an RX? I don't think so. There isn't that much $ in one unless it was a 2009 with factory cash. In that case, it was not a very good deal.

The 2010 is selling very well. I have only 2 on the ground to sell with 13 sold orders inbound.

degirl

Thanks. How are you enjoying your car?

tennis_lexus

No!! MSPR is the dealer list price. The invoice price is less than 4k or 5K (get this from edmund site). Base on the invoice price + delivery + tax + license.

robalao

Which dealership did you get your car at? Please advise as I am looking for a FWD and no one seems to have one.

Thanks!
