I'm looking for a 2006 RX 300 AWD with Premium plus package with additional options premium plus package. My problem is that the two dealerships in Pittsburgh are owned by the same guy. The price I was qouted was $45,000 plus tax. What do you guys think the price should be and any suggestions about what else I can do?
Thanks
Chris
Lexus DVD Rear-Seat Entertainment System (RSES) includes 2 Wireless Headphones, 18" Aluminum Alloy Wheels with Mud and Snow Tires, Heated Front Seats with Rain-Sensing Wipers and Headlamp Washers, Transmission Cooler, Heavy Duty Alternator and Radiator, Navigation System w/Bluetooth/Voice-Activation/Compass & Rear Back-Up Camera, Mark Levinson Audio System, Power Tilt/Telescoping Steering with Memory, High-Intensity Discharge Headlamp (HID) with Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS), Leather Trim Interior, Roof Rails with Rack, One-Touch Open/Close Moonroof, Illuminated Entry System, Cargo Mat, Wheel Locks, Tow Hitch with Ball Mount (MSRP-$48,943.00)
So far I've received three quotes, with the best one at $43400. I see one person got a quote for nearly the same car (MSRP $48,573) at 42,279 from Lexus of Serramonte. I've sent them a quote request. Anybody have any input? Thanks to those who host this forum....an invaluable resource!
Chris
If you can name a dealer that would do better in So Cal I'm willing to give it a shot.
Thank goodness for this forum....based on some prices I've seen quoted here I've continued negotiations...I was all ready to settle on something far too much.
are you in the LA area?
Wow, that's a huge differnce in price. Thanks.
Chris
Any truth to dealer's claims that December is a better month to buy a Lexus because of promotional campaigns for the Holidays???
After brief negotiations, I received a Southwest Florida quote of $40,200 for front wheel drive, premium plus, navigation (without upgraded audio system), larger tires, tow prep, miscellaneous "preferred accessories", prep charges. I don't need some of the minor options, but was told that they're automatic at that particular dealership.
Any advice from any Floridians out there??? Any advice from anybody regarding a south florida dealership and price???
Thanks for the help........
I am confused between New Murano SL AWD and Lexus 2004 ,18,000 miles. from dealer fleet.Both I am getting in the same price range of 32K. What do you all think is a good pick?
Thanks
I am in So Ca LA area.
Would really appreciate clarification on the following:
I am shopping for 2006 Lexus RX 330 2WD w/ premium Plus package
Edmund & Kelly blue book quote the same invoice price
$32,880 base
$2,368 premium Plus pkg
------------------
$35,250 total
I got quotes from 2 dealers so far. Both claim that invoice is
$36,570. that’s $1300 difference. Who is wrong here? :confuse:
So the best quite I got so far is $36, 570- meaning they are selling me this for invoice.
Does anyone have any knowledge on this?
Thanks a lot
Bought my new RX 330 AWD with navigation yesterday at Kendall Lexus in Eugene. Worked out the deal in two days.
Was very happy with the experience.
I could have saved another $200 by going to Lexus of Portland, but didn't want the drive. Also, the Eugene RX was made in Japan, which was a plus for me. My RX had 11 miles on it.
MSRP $45,753
Paid $41,241 (plus $50 doc. fee and $168 for 4 year
registration. No sales tax in Oregon!)
Options:
6 CD
18" tires
Heated seats/rain sensing wipers
Navigation
Premium Plus
Trans. cooler/Heavy duty alternator and radiator
Cargo mat
Wheel locks
Thanks again. I will definitely use this site in the future.

2006 RX330 AWD MSRP $48,573
Best deal: $42,297

Best deal: $40,150
If you can get less in the Bay Area, then congratulations. I was basically told "Good luck!" by more than one dealership when I asked if they could match these quotes. They only reason I was calling them was to find the color I wanted in stock (Breakwater Blue).
I ended up choosing the RX330 with the Levinson package (MSRP $48,573), but I had two dealers with one of the options at each location in stock at those prices. The kicker that seemed to push the deal into place was I told each dealer I'd take whichever package met the price I wanted...and they both met it, so I had my choice of cars. Both dealers just minutes earlier were telling me there was no way they could match these offers.
One issue that helped.....one of the salesmen told me he'd swing the deal because the dealership hadn't met their numbers for the day.....I was calling late in the day....so you might try dealing later in the evening rather than in the morning. I hadn't realized the dealership had daily goals.....I figured they were weekly or monthly.
I'll confirm once my deal gets finalized tomorrow, but I wanted to be sure anybody in the Bay Area was negotiating with the best recent information.

I think the PREMIUM PLUS is about $1,000 more. I also am getting $600 worth of decorative wood on the interior. So, we seem to be "in line"

After going through the forum discussions, this number seems to be in the ballpark range! :confuse:
Remember that Lexus dealers get holdback of 2% of the Base MSRP. This is perhaps sacred money to them, but it's a good reason why so many are able to get prices at or near invoice.
Chris
I must comment....Lexus of Serramonte and Coliseum Lexus (Oakland) were both instrumental in my receiving this deal. Lexus of Serramonte was the dealership that gave me the lowest bids and seemed to be the easiest to work with....they simply didn't have the car that I wanted in stock. Coliseum Lexus matched the price I wanted readily....and if Lexus of Pleasanton hadn't given me the price I wanted then I would have gotten a little bit less of a car from Coliseum Lexus.
I feel comfortable recommending any of these three dealerships to anybody looking to buy in Northern California. As a matter of fact, after all my research, I'd simply concentrate on those three and you'll not waste any further legwork finding the best price.
After driving this car to it's hiding spot for the next week.....man.....my wife is going to freak on Christmas morning!

I just popped back onto the forum. I have not bought my car yet as I have to turn in my Benz. The lease is up next month. I agree that Lexus of Serramontes has been great. They gave me the lowest price right off the bat while I had a few other dealers try to haggle. I promptly deleted their messages. I am getting the same quotes you did. I will let you know once I get my car.
Your wife is one lucky lady! Merry Christmas!
I was quoted $46,232 for a 2006 RX 330 with the following:
protective trim
18" wheels
Navigation/Camera
Premium Plus Package
6 disc CD
cargo mat
heated seats & rain sensing wipers
They're offering $12,500 on my trade...2001 VolvoXC70.In reading other member's prices I am thinking I should be able to get the car for about $40,000 + Tax & License.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Kirin
It appears you are working on a vehicle with an MSRP of $45,753 based on the options indicated. You should be able to get that vehicle for $40,000 or slightly more...definitely not more than $41,000. Keep shopping. The best bet is to send quote requests to every dealer in your immediate area. This can be done via the Lexus website. Good luck!
Chris
I bought the 2006 RX 3000 last week at Lexus of Seattle with everything you stated(not the protective trim)plus Rear Seat Entertainment for $43,000.
It seems the NW dealers are not giving the prices as I see being given in Northern California.
I was told by the dealers that the Mark Levinson package is not available here in the Northwest.
What is the protective trim? Is this the 3Mm bra that they put in the front?
Chris
The protective trim is nothing more than a few strips of plastic adhesive around the wheelwells and door jambs coupled with a pin stripe down the side of the vehicle which Lexus charges $479 for.It just happens to be on the car I was looking at.
I will request price quotes from Lexus.I thank everyone for their helpful advice.
Kirin
The RSES system is Lexus factory installed. We have three Lexus dealers in Seattle/Tacoma area and all of them told me that Mark Levinson package is not coming over here and the system is Pioneer one.
My 2006 RX 330 is AWD.
It is a great SUV.
