Picked up an 2010 RX350 ($48.1K) for $3K below MSRP. Residual: 59% MF: .002550 $682 + Tax for 36 months/36K miles lease, with first month payment down. This is in Seattle.....best based on the area. I could have done better in CA, then the hassle of transportation.
I also have read the comparison tests on the Lexus RX350 and the Volvo XC60, which also included the Audi Q5 and the Mercedes G350. The Volvo was looking good on most everything except for gas mileage. It got the worst mileage of all the vehicles in the test. But I suspect that even the 2010 RX is not going to get less gas mileage than the 2007 thru 2009 RX models due to the weight gain.
Who did you deal with in Freehold Ray Catena? I'm in very similar situation as you. I also have trade in 2004 RX330 with 55K miles - no accidents and very good condition. they offered me $14K for it. I believe it is too low. Also I'm looking for exactly the same car as you (only lease) They offer me the selling price $44,700..
I think you get the cargo mat and wheel locks whether you order them or not, appears they are automatically included with every RX; at least around these parts. And yes, the cargo mat is carpeted.
Strapper2, on the 2010 RX, you have to get the luxury package to get the power folding mirrors on this vehicle. You can't get it with only the premium or the comfort package. I'm hoping that by the time my lease is up on my '07 RX in August of 2010 that the rain-sensing wipers will be a separate cost instead of bundled into a package like they are now for the 2010 RX. I have them on the '07 RX and I love them.
In my neck of the woods you can only get the rain-sensing wipers if you get the premium, comfort and navigation models.
I took delivery of a 2010 RX 350 last week from Valley Lexus (CA). I’ve been watching this site for a while, so I thought I’d share my buying experience:
Car: 2010 Lexus RX 350 AWD Options: NV, PM, CP, FT, WU, EK, wheel locks, cargo mat and net Color: Misty Granite Mica with black leather MSRP: $47,253 Edmunds invoice: $41,623 (est. for locks, cargo mat and net) Sales price: $41,969.89 Sales tax: $3,992.36 Registration: $582.75 Document fee: $55 Out the door: $46,600
Do not remember what the Lexus Invoice was. On paper it looks like I paid more than Edmunds invoice but there was a discrepancy between the Edmunds invoice and Lexus invoice. Something to do with TDA/Financial Reserve but I know that should be included in Edmunds invoice since this is money going back to the dealer.
I spent over a month researching and decided to go with a dealer 1.5 hours away since they had the best price and was willing to negotiate. All the other dealers in the area wanted me to come down to the dealership and I just didn't want to waste my time. I am very happy with my purchase and the service I received.
Hi Lexmass Can you let us know the options you had and the price you paid? I would like to go down to lexus of Watertown and have an idea of what to expect
What was the price before taxes, paperwork and any other fees? Did you visit other dealers in MA-any thoughts if you did?Sounds if you got a very good discount-any secrets as to how you negotiated? Was a trade in involved? Thank you.
Greetings to call. I'm considering buying an RX350 and I've found that when you price it out on Lexus' website, they have option packages constructed based on your zip code. I don't want all the options in the package they have on the Lexus site. Is there a way around this?
I am looking, unbelievably, to see what it would cost net to trade in my hunk of junk BMW X3 2009 with less than 500 miles on it for a new RX.
Has anyone done anything like this with what is essentially a brand new car?
I cannot believe I have this hunk of junk depreciating in my garage. It has the lousiest ride imaginable, it bounces, it rocks, it bucks, it undulates and now the bizarre transmission causes it to hesitate before accelerating leading to dangerous driving situations. Pound for pound the BMW X3 is the most expensive car in its class and it is the worst car I have ever driven...bar none.
The dealer says I will lose 20% of what I paid for it just a month ago.
Will I get a better deal trading it in to someone else for a new car? I do not want another BMW...who does. BMW makes junkers for idiots.
:lemon: :lemon: :lemon: :lemon: :lemon:
I am trying to see what my options are. Drive this hunk of junk for a few years and hope is has ANY resale value or swallow hard and take this enormous hit.
I am really bummed that I can't add any more lemon emotorcons to this post.
..oh man...you better take it easy, you are going to pop a vein...besides bashing your car the way you are doing is not going to get you any offers..use your brain....yes you are going to take a beating but it is up to you to decide..maybe your piece of mind and sanity it will make it worth it...good luck..
I have already popped veins. I'm looking for dealers who are interested in selling me an RX in the next few months. I KNOW it is my decision. That is not a helpful comment.
I don't know if there is a better place to post this but every time I click on My Watched Items I get a pop-up "QuickTime Failed to initialize. Error #0. Please make sure QuickTime is properly installed on this computer." When I click on [OK] my Firefox browser crashes. This happens every time and I've been on this forum for years, but this behavior is new; within the last week or so. What's up with this? Anybody else experiencing this phenomenon? I *do* have the latest QuickTime add-on for Firefox installed. Moderator: please inform your techies, I believe that the problem is on your end!
I am looking for a a good deal on the 2010 RX350 FWD with Premium package in Dallas/Fort Worth Metro Plex. Please share your prices paid and buying experiences to help me purchase the dream car. Thanks in advance.
I am looking to buy in south Florida. Anyone had any dealings with Treasure Coast, JM, Palm Beach, or Miami. How close should I be able to get to invoice? Would love some help.
I stopped by my local Lexus dealer (Putnam) here in Redwood City, CA. The dealer was not giving me much discount (only $2000 off MSRP). I'm reading on this fourm that people are getting $500 above invoice.
Anybody from the SF Bay Area that got a good deal and if so, which dealer?
Just picked up a 2010 RX350 AWD w/Navi, Comfort pkg. $43,478. MSRP $48,669. According to the dealer, ths is the invoice. Although it's different on Edmund.
Maha, which dealer in the Bay Area? Please PM me for the dealer contact person's name. Invoice is around $5K below MSRP so you are right there. Any haggling room or was it a quick deal with little negotiations?
I am curious. Did you take a test drive. I like the X3 but bought an Audi Q5 from a lady who said everything you say about the BMW. The Audi has less than 2k miles and I paid her $37k with the Audi Care which apparently goes with the car.
Bottom line she paid $43k so i would expect you need to find someone to buy the car. Dealer will rob you blind.
thanks--ps is your car a sport or M. I like the ride myself.
Leased at the end of September 2010 RX350 with Nav+Prem+Comf MSRP: 47,404 (they adding some crap here such as all-weather mats, so slightly different from Edmunds or KBB) Agreed price: 42,370
Most other dealerships would not nudge below 43K. Anyone had similar buying/leasing experience in this region?
I am helping my friend lease a new 2010 RX350. I have never leased a vehicle, so I a novice. She wants to lease for 3 years and ideally needs her payments to come as close to $500/month as possible. She would like Nav, but I guess it is not feasible given her budget. We are in Pensacola, FL. We visited the closest dealer in Mobile, AL. I asked what the invoice cost of the vehicle was and he wouldn't tell me. He told me it doesn't matter. The Nav version MSRP is $47,030 and they priced it at $45,500. They told me the version without Nav lists for $43,495 and they would price it for lease at $41,495. Should we look for dealers in Atlanta or South Florida? How much below MSRP or above invoice should we expect? Is the residual and money factor the same at every dealer, that is, only the purchase price should be different. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all.
I'd suggest that you carefully read the last few pages of this forum for a better idea of what people are paying. You can look up the invoice right here on Edmunds. I would definitely talk to dealers in Atlanta and have a price set before I walked in the door. If you have no trade, you can complete the deal before you even hit the road to pick it up.
msyman, you can read my post just before yours. You should be able to pay 4-5K below MSRP which should get you close to the invoice. So in your case, I would target 42K - for that price it would be a great deal. 45,500 - no way.
Hi, I am thinking about buying an RX350 from a remote dealership. But not sure is it safe since the car has to be shipped from one state to another. In craiglist, it is advised not to buy a car that involves shipping as it is 100% fraudulent.
I'm in Toronto, Canada. Try to lease a new 2010 Lexus RX350 AWD Premier Package 2. It's MSRP + Freight etc is CAD$53,495-. Dealer only offer a discount of CAD$2,440- (4.6%). For 48 months, @ rate of 2.1%, my monthly payment will be CAD$753- (all taxes included). From this forum, everyone talking about discount on this vehicle is up to $4000- (though it's in USA).
Any one in Toronto, ON Canada has recently leased or purchased a new 2010 Lexus RX350, I am very eager to hear from you to see how much discount we can get.
Tell you, Base model price is only a bait. Options are the most most profitable add-on. Thought they claimed 2010 model is cheaper than 2008, in fact after adding one option package it become more expensive than 2008. This is the way Lexus cheats on consumers.
I am thinking about buying a AWD 2010 RX350 with premium package. I was wondering if anyone has bought one recently in the area(Tri-state) and for how much? I dont care how far the dealer is from me, I just care about getting a good deal. Thank you in advance
I bought a 2010 RX350 AWD w/Navi Premium Pkg. last week at dealer invoice. I could have gone lower.. probably $500 below inovoice, but I felt "sorry" for them...
Hi maha, It looks like a good deal. One thing I am quite sure is what do you guys need to buy navigation from Lexus? With just less than 300 bucks, you can buy a decent Garmin NUVI navigation system. Why do you need to spend 2000 dollars to get it from Lexus? Perhaps I am not seeing the point yet.
