2013 and earlier Lexus RX 350 Prices Paid and Buying Experience

I think you could get a better deal than 10%. If you are willing to go to Dallas. I Got $ 5600 off of MSRP. Dealership - Sewell of Dallas. I called Houston and they were not willing to go below 43500 for Nav package. Austin was better than Houston (I was not expecting that). Dallas had the best deal for me. Hope that helps. I got mine in late Dec. Sales lady was excellent.

Mefromfl, I live in Tampa and would like to get the name of the salesperson that you dealt with. I would refer you to my profile,
but it's saying that my e-mail is private and I tried changing it, but
it won't reflect the change. Maybe Tidester or one of the other
moderators can give me some guidance on giving out my
e-mail address. I'm not sure that I'm allowed to post it on the message boards. Thanks

kyfdx

At the top right of the page, click on Community Profile.. There is a button to display your e-mail address.. Click the appropriate choice, then click Save, down below..

Let me know if that doesn't work..

mefromfl

can you look up my email? i would be glad to give you the sales person name or ask a mod to give u my email or vice versa. I don't know what the rule is here either.

but my aim is ps2mefl or yahoo messenger is mefromfl04

We are looking at a RX-350 2010 with 12K miles.
Sticker was 43,076.00
They are willing to let it go for 37,076.00
It has just about everything but NAV and Bi xenons.
Excellent condition. There are also throwing in $500 off extended warranty if desired.
Are we getting hosed ??

Thanks Peter

BTW we are in Chatt, TN

Hi, Kyfdx. I changed it under community profile but would others see my email under community profile? If you click on my
"Maximafan" name on the boards, it will still say that my e-mail is private. So that's what I'm unsure about, if others can see it under Community Profile or by clicking on "Maximafan" on the boards.

kyfdx

Nope.. still shows private.. Let me look into it..

kyfdx

It does seem messed up... When I check my preferences, mine shows as private, even though it's public..

If you used Community Profile before, try using Forum Preferences... then scroll down to e-mail settings... After you choose to make your e-mail public, go back and click on your member name from a post, and see if your e-mail is displayed as public.

I'll notify tech support about the anomalies..

Thanks!
kyfdx

maximafan

Kyfdx, thanks for looking into this for me. I tried going through
forum preferences and into e-mail settings. It comes up with the same community profile menu, and I tried changing it again, but
it wouldn't change to show my e-mail address. Hopefully, we can
get it sorted out. Again, thanks!

mefromfl

Maximafan,

if you look at my above post, you should be able to see what my email is

dinh_henry

oncogene03, would you mind sharing the name of the Sales Lady you purchased your Lexus from Sewell of Dallas? I live in Allen, TX and I am in the market for a non-navigation RX350. Thanks for your help.

funguy123

Are you serious?
You are going to pay 37k for used car? That is one of the worst deal I have heard of. If you read other threads, most people are getting 10% + on a NEW CAR. Yours is considered used and it's only 6k below the sticker. DON'T DO IT.

I am willing to bet you when 2011 comes out, you will be able to buy NEW one (2010) for more discount then this.

marabunta

You are getting fire hosed. That is way too much money for a used vehicle.

omfs44

Where did you get that deal? nor or south cal? can you provide the location of the dealer? Did you roll your acquisition into the lease? what was your final price of the vehicle? thanks in advance

chimpi99

Bayview,
could you share the dealership name is dallas. i got a 39.9 + ttl quote for similar specs and would like to work with the dealer you purchased from if i can get same price. Also what color did you choose?

thanks,
chimpi99

bayview

The dealership is Sewell Lexus in Dallas. It was a purchase, as opposed to a lease. Exterior color is Obsidian. Interior color is Parchment.

zcxs20

The dealer is refusing to honor the price... Who did you talk to ?

rotti92201

Is $44,500 unrealistic to pay for a new RX 350 with Nav,dvd, CP, 19in wheel with an MSRP $51,584??? :confuse:

mefromfl

If that's the actual msrp then that's a good deal

rotti92201

Anyone know how a trade in works after you get them to agree to the purchasing price?

funguy123

That is not a bad price at all at this point. Are you getting this offer from dealer?

This is one of the lower price I have seen. I wonder if 2011 will be in soon!!!!

avestor

After some shopping at 6 extended area dealers and research on this site, we purchased a new RX 350 AWD with NV, CP, PM, EK, WU, TO, Z1 in smokey granite mica ($47,625 MSRP) from Lexus of Rockville for $42,000 ($43,340 OTD)(they claimed to have applied a $1000 Lexus CSI rebate certificate to make that price). They also beat some very low (under 4%) financing rates we had obtained from area credit unions.

My research showed that dealers in Wilmington and Towson would have done the same or better and were very nice to deal with, but Rockville was closer. Lexus of Alexandria came in a little higher and because Pohanka Lexus did not want to give us a price over the phone they were not considered. While our deal does not appear as good as the guy who just reported having gotten a $51,000 car for $44,000, our $5,625 off MSRP was consistent with the $5,000 + discounts people have been reporting nationwide since November 09 on 2010 RX 350.

marabunta

I would say that you did well. Like you, I would not deal with dealers who would not quote me a price without requiring me to come to the shark tank where they could attempt to feed on me. Once I had my internet prices I went to the one that gave me the best price and bought. I continued to receive e-mails from the dealers that lost my business due to their failure to give me a price over the internet. Their e-mails go to spam and then are deleted. I made it clear in my inquiry that I wanted to conduct my business over the internet, but some dealers called anyway. Wonder when the 2011 RX350's will be out? I have heard that they may not come out until 10 or 11/2010.

avestor

While comments by dealers on the subject should be taken with a grain of salt, as they are no doubt trying to sell their 2010 inventory, several dealers that I spoke with told me that build cars showing on their future deliverables were showing into May as 2010 cars. Several opined that it therefore could not be before late May, early June at the very earliest that they would see the arrival of 2011 RX cars. None actually said they had 2011 cars showing up on their order sheets yet.

avestor

With regard to internet and phone shopping, I think its the best way to go. If you have a price from several dealers before you sit down, it takes a good deal of the stress out of the buying experience. I have bought several cars this way and have never had a dealer refuse to honor the price given. If they did, I'd surely be out the door before they could finish that sentence.

Thanks to everyone on this forum. I have been watching this since last August. I can finally say I purchased my AWD 2010 RX350

Purchased at Chambers in Sharon, MA
New 2010 RX 350, AWD Premium Package,Heated and Ventilated Front Seats,Backup Monitor (Rearview Mirror),Wood & Leather-trimmed Steering Wheel & Shift Knob,Cargo Mat,Cargo Net,Wheel Locks ; Tow Prep package, remote start, Glass Breakage Sensors

MSRP $44670
Sale price $37250+ TTR

I also have a trade in, but the outcome was the above. of course when they are telling you the deal the trade is one thing and when they do the paperwork it is thousands more but this was the deal I worked out.

They were able to come in with a great finance rate, as noted by others 2.99% for 63 months. And the Lexus certificate allowance came into play. I couldn't get this price a month ago.

Love the car - handles great.
Thanks so much again...truly loving this vehicle, wanted one for so many years.

svofan2

...great price!!!!!! ...I hope I can get something similar in October when I will be ready for it (crrent Toyota lease ends in October)...what is theLexus certificate allowance...enjoy in the best of health...

andocpa

Have been looking at 2010 AWD, Premium and Comfort packages. No navigation. MSRP in the $44,400 range

Been trying to get some internet prices but no luck.

Based on the above, I would think I would be able to get it around $39,000 + TTL or I am off base?

Any recent experiences in New Jersey?

Thanks in advance

svofan2

is it that Lexus dealers do not show what vehicles they have in inventory?...I was able to find only one dealer in MA that showed all the RX 350 in stock and their prices....not obe dealer in NY,NJ,MD or Pa do this...I guess is because the want to project a better image....anyone with any good pricing in NJ fopr RX 350 no nav,I am open to any other items, the reason for no navigation is because that will increase the price very high (for me) and I do not have a good use for it...thanks for any possible leads...

lka

What's the invoice on the car? The dealer I leased from was willing to go $1,500 below invoice on an RX 350 MSRP $47,644.

Lexus provides its dealers with $1000 vouchers that they can use too sweeten a deal. If they are not using one on your on your deal find a dealer who will.

Good luck.

cubrain

Bayview - Can you please email me the salesperson name you worked with at Sewell. I'm working with the internet manager and he gave me $39.9 + TTL for the same car you got. I would definitely get it if I got the same deal. Look to hear from you. My email is ttran214@yahoo.com.

Thanks.

maximafan

Hi, Andocpa. I was wondering if you could tell me what state that the RX350 with comfort and premium package with no nav is available? I live in Florida, and the premium and comfort only come with the navigation package.

emaan1

Hi. I have been reading this forum for several months now and finally feel comfortable in shopping for a new RX350.

I am in Greenville, NC. Any suggestions on a dealership?

sparky57

If you are an enterprising person you can earn a Rx350 for free through Fortune

andocpa

Maximafan,

I live in New Jersey. I have gotten mixed messages on that as well. Some dealers state what you say. I test drove the car last Saturday and I am 99% sure it had premium and comfort. I know it did not have nav. I have been test driving several models, (Audit Q5, BMW X5) so I was more focused on the fit and ride than the actual package. Like I said, I did hear back from another dealer that said to get those packages it comes with nav. When I circle back I will ensure it has those packages and repost.

accvb

svofan2 there is supposedly $1000 or so lexus certificate allowance that is allowing dealers to reduce the lowest price quoted by another 1K. Someone else referred to it on the previous page in this edmunds forum. That's what made the deal work for me.

I have had the car for almost a week now and truly love it. You definitely won't regret the purchase. At least ...at this point I can say that..hopefully that won't change.

Good Luck!

sfaus1517

Can you tell me the sales person's name? I have been looking at it in weeks and couldn't get as low as yours, I live in austin. thanks in advance.

missibm

Hi,

I just got a quote from a dealer with specs that are not even worth sharing they are so pathetic! I'd love to work with your dealer directly to try to achieve these exact terms if they're willing to offer them.

BTW, this is my first time posting anything so please forgive if I'm out of line asking for this request.

Does anyone else have a deal and dealer that is comparable to this one below?

Thanks a million!!!!!

Just wanted to post the deal I finally closed on for a 2010 RX 350 Lease.
MSRP: $47,644
36 mos/12000 Miles
$480 per month before taxes. $527.88 with California Taxes.
Out the door $1,133.75

misscue

Does anyone know when the 2011 comes out? My husband and I are saving and hope to buy at the end of July or August. Should we wait until the new models come out, wondering if I can get a better deal on a 2010 then?

jdyszel

I'm in NY. Got quoted $614 today for a similar deal on an RX350. Not sure of the sticker but the salesman gave me a line about how they are sold before they even get them in.

Anyone getting deals in the low $500's on this truck?

jdyszel

To clarify on my last post. I was quoted $614 for:

36 month lease
12K per year
Prem Pack Only
$0 down

svofan2

...and you think those are good prices?...$2k on the average over invoice?....you must be a salesoerson, you are entitled to your prices but a bargain THOSE prices are NOT!!..good luck I hope you sell a lot of them..

jerryd310

Svo, No I'm not a salesman. I am actually retired from an entirely different industry. I joined a large buying group that happens to have a contract with a lexus dealer. Perhaps I'm confused on the price, or the particular sheet, but I do know that people have been driving in from as far as 400 miles to purchase a new Lexus under the terms of the contract price. One person last week told a group of us in the group that she saved $6000 over the best price she could find anywhere else. And she had driven about 200 miles to pick it up. Like I said, perhaps I have my dealer sheets confused, but you wouldn't think people would drive that far if it is as bad a deal as you say it is.

jdyszel

So i just left another lexus dealer and here's the price I left with:

36 month lease
12K per year
Premium Package (no nav)

List Price: $44349
Selling Price: $40359
$598.69 per month with
$696.16 at signing (includes first month) plus plates

Thoughts on this? Good or bad?

maximafan

jdyszel, Is this price for an AWD RX350? My stepdad purchased a 2010 RX with just the premium pack, no nav. It's FWD. He told me they sold it to him at around 38,000. He also traded in a 2007 Toyota Camry, which they gave him $11,000 trade-in. But I noticed the MSRP, when I build a FWD RX350 with premium only,
comes out to 43,005.00.

jdyszel

Thanks for replying maxamafan. This is indeed the All Wheel Drive model. There are also a few other features on the car as they quote based on what's in stock. Feature are

Prem Package
Roof Rack Crossbars
Heated/Vented Front Seats
Leather Wrapped Wheal
Backup Monitor
Tow Prep Package
Pref Acc Pkcghe

The document they print out from the computer says $44349 (I'm assuming this is invoice). I asked what the selling price was and they told me 40359 which is almost 4K below that. Just trying to make sure I'm not getting wrapped off. Although I've been checking the local papers here in NY and this seems a bit lower than what is being advertised so I think it a good deal...??

svofan2

Dear friend, from one retiree to another, I do understand the purchasing power of "group buying" but this what I objected to and I hope that you got your facts mixed up because otherwise you and your group are NOT getting such a great deal (of course it dependes on what part of the country we are talking about, here in NY,NJ,CT area there are plenty of dealers competing for sales).
This is my reasoning,RX 350 (Nav,prem,conv,wood leather wheel and shifter, towing,etc) msrp is $47260 approx (according to Edmunds and I might be off a few dollars),invoice $42406 (again approx) and tmv $43159.
Now if you say 5% above invoice that will be $2120 plus $42406 equals $44526 which as you can see it is way above the average being paid.
That is the reason why I thought you might have been a salesperson trying to attract prospective buyers.
Please no harm intended on my part but I am considering buying an RX 350 and I am looking at all the possible angles for a fair price (I got time to shop around). What part of the country are you from?..mind you that if it is a good deal I wont mind traveling to your dealer for a fair deal, unless is more than a 400 miles radius from NJ.
Good luck to you and your buying group.
