You are correct. The price, options, packages, invoice and color cost does vary from state to state as well as dealer to dealer. My cost of $500 above the invoice price included the Prem Plus package with Cargo Mat and wheel locks. I can see from this forum the best deals seem to be out west.
I just sent you an email about my experience and recent purchase in Tampa.
Premium plus, Navi with Rear camera, 18in alloy wheel, Heated seat and rain sensing wiper, cargo mat, wheel lock.
Dealer was Magnussen's Lexus, Fremont, CA.
My wife loves it.

I purchased a FWD with premplus+navi from them recently and was told it will take 3 to 4 weeks to get the car; same color.
Thanks.
Thanks for responding. For some reason I don't have an e-mail from you but would like to hear what you have to say. Please resend e-mail to worthygirl@aol.com. Thanks.

Can you tell me which dealer you went to in VA to get your $900 over invoice deal? Was it an "internet deal" or "face-to-face" deal?
I am in the market for a RX 330 as well. Could you please forward your Dealer contact information my way, so I may reap some of your success?
Thank you
I really like the black!

Offered me $38,877 on an invoice of $36,759 with MSRP of $41,938.
I can do better than this can't I? It's one of only 2 Lexus dealers in the state though. Said the deal only holds until Saturday, but I know they have 3 exactly like this car on the lot. Said they had been running a Prem Plus Pkg special for June for the price and would apply it to the car I'm wanting ... that was the $38,877 offer.
I have a trade-in as well, but didn't mention it yet b/c I wanted to get a feel for what they were giving me off of the MSRP. I can wait ... I'm in no hurry.
Yes CA is in the business of selling vehicles to those of us who reside in other states. Lexus of Glendale will be your best Bet ($35,475). email me off-Line for further information. My number is public
Thanks

A couple notes: I got the first 35k quote near the end of last month from salesman that was 2 cars away from making his monthly quota. It may be difficult to get that price at the beginning of the month.
Secondly, I did not get these quotes from the internet staff. As a matter a fact, the worst quotes I've gotten have been over the internet, as a result of filing out of those email price request forms. Just my experience. My best quotes have come from calling on the phone and asking to speak directly to the sales manager, or by paying a visit to the dealership.
In case you're wondering why we haven't made our purchase yet, it's because my husband is holding out for the local Lexus dealer to bring his price down. He feels if we purchase locally this will help to insure a better dealer service. The good thing is our local dealer's price has come down considerably, since he knows he has competition a couple hours away. So we are pretty close to making a purchase. Hope this is helpful.
To whitfield & nort- Check your email.
And you'll get the same level of service.
Mind you, I haven't had my first service yet, but I will be in this situation. I'll be going to my "local" dealer in the next couple of weeks, so I'll let you know.
Thanks for the email. I am still in pursuit of an RX 330 as well. My color of choice is Breakwater Blue. I bet if all of us found a dealer who would be willing to give us all a great deal we would be set. Please let me know what you find. I want to purchase by this weekend.
Thanks

Finally our local dealer came through within a few hundred of the lowest quote we had, and we made our purchase at 35,300 plus tax and tag (no dealer fee). So with new tag (not a transfer), 7% tax and a $17 recording fee, the total out the door cost came to $37,633. We had no trade in, so this is a real price. Also, were it not for having to purchase a new tag (our previous vehicle was a lease, so the tag we had was not ours to keep) it would have been a $100 less.
The delivery experience was unbelievable, unlike any other that we have ever had before! We were first presented with the keys (4 sets) and gifts which included 2 beautiful Lexus key chains and a large detailed Lexus US road map. Next, we were given a complete tour of the dealership with customer lounge areas that looked liked the lobby of a luxurious hotel, and explained some of their dealer perks: free hand washes for your vehicle any time you want; free food and beverage throughout the day: "breakfast at 7 am and lunch is at 12 noon"; computers for internet access.
They had our RX 330 right inside the dealer show room where it was facing the two front doors. Inside we were able to comfortably go over every single detail on our RX. Our sales person set up our seat memory, homelink, all our radio settings, and most of our other personal preferences.
In parting, he made sure we had his cell phone number, and said we could call him if we ever needed anything pertaining to our RX service, and that he would personally make sure we got special care from that dealership. I have to say, the whole experience was incredible, and we felt like we had just joined a prestigious country club in addition to purchasing a great vehicle!
Thank you. I will be picking up my NEW RX 330 Breakwater Blue RX 330 from Countyline Lexus, Florida (fwd with the premium pack, power rear door, 18" wheels, wood steering wheel and knobs, rain sensing wipers, tow pack). The deal cost me $34,999. You definitely receive the Tip of the Month Award from me!
Whit!
I am starting my research on a new RX330 in the DC area.
I would appreciate if people had any recent experience with the Lexus dealers in this area especially Lexus of Rockville or Lexus of Silverspring.
Thanks

I am also from the DC area (work in DC live in Fredericksburg). I have tried without success to neg a deal below the $37,000 mark. The dealers in the Virginia, D.C. and Maryland area do not want to neg on price. I even went through COSTCO which resulted in $2,000 off MSRP (for the M/D/W area). I finally had to go out of town (Florida) to purchase my vehicle (Pick up is this weekend).

Thanks for the information. I had a similar experience with the DC dealers with respect to an Acura MDX also. No body wants to negotiate since the demand is so high.
I guess as Sylvajones pointed out it is still the beginning of the month.
I would appreciate if you provided me withthe details of the person/s to contact. Also details of the vehicle too.
Thanks
