Since you're getting about $1,300(MSRP) more in options for less than my quote, I think there's definitely room to negotiate. Who's kidding, I'd love to get it at or below invoice but I'll just have to wait and see. I'm in no rush so that could help too. I'm talking with some other dealers tomorrow so hopefully I'll get it down. But much appreciated feedback and thanks for the info. One specifically mentioned they are trying to clear inventory now, so maybe they'll be willing to deal a little better.
(I believe only option I didn't get is the rear dvd thing.)
MSRP $45595, quote $40966.
Got from the dealer in Brooklyn, NY. Salesman I deal with is good, not pushy, let me take my time, not much back and forth in prices.
No extra doc fees (but of course the registration and stuffs and tax are extra). May not be the best price, but I guess its decent, right ??
Since they don't have my color combo, they're trying to locate a car for me. They said it should take a wk or less.
I put down a deposit already, keeping my fingers crossed.
6 yrs/70,000 miles $1575
7 yrs/75,000 miles $2000
6 yrs/100,000 miles $2025
7 yrs/100,000 miles $2375
Are these prices fixed or negotiable, and has anyone payed less?

MRSP is $47593, my price is $42466.
after tax, registration, and everything is $46260.
any comments ?? Is it good, decent, bad ??
thanks,
gotta question. I am able to get a 2006 rx 330 with:
Prem plus package
dvd/nav
heated seats/rain sense wipers
18'' alloy
6 cd
at invoice (per the dealer): $40466. MSRP $45,500
At such a price (given the clearance of this vehilcles for the incoming rx350)..am I better off buying or leasing since I am able to purchase at invoice, supposedly?
Thanks in advance,
linus
The cost of doing an MSD lease vs. buying with $10k down and leasing outright for 36 mos with 20k miles per yr. saved us a few thousand dollars in the long-run.
The ES330 is being completely redesigned for the 2007 model year which is due out in mid-April and it looks sharp! But, for the price, I don't think I can beat the deal we got!
Hope it helps!
Thanks.
I got an offer for a 2006 330RX AWD. I am in Boston, MA. This offer is from Lexus of Watertown.
Option:
Premium plus
Heat Seat
6-Disc CD Changer
I got an offer for 38680
Is this a good price ?
They are trying to get rid of the 2006 now because of the new change in the 2007 engine.
I just bought a 2006 RX330 FWD - premium plus with NAVIGATION system, 18 inch wheels, 6 CD changer in Southern California (MSRP $44193) from Lexus MissionViejo for $ 37582.
Called multiple other dealer internet departments that would match the price of 37582 like Oxnard and Riverside.
Bev Hills selling for 38152.
hope this helps
When did you buy it? And what was the invoice price of your vehicle?
TIA
Invoice was $39082. They are selling for $1500 below invoice. If you get it without the navigation system it is even LOWER! Call Mission Viejo is Southern California, get a qoute via email and Oxnard and Riverside will match that price if they have that car in stock. Beverly Hills will go down to $1000 below invoice.
Good Luck
Thanks!
Good luck.
If not, admins, plz modify accordingly, since I don't post too often and not sure about all the rules.
The dealer is Bay Ridge Lexus, Brooklyn, NY.
2007 should be coming very soon... (maybe already here... donno...) they don't have much 2006 model left already.
The salesman is not pushy and is pretty upfront with the prices... told me best he can do is $500 over invoice and I didn't really spend any time negoiating before getting there.... (I asked for the calculator and see its below 90% mark... which should be an ok deal.... I'm not really a bargaining person, so I never expects myself to get the best deal...)
but since they didn't have my color/equip combo, they spend 1 wk to look for my car... (I really want NAV...)
finally, I settled with the sales that I'll also get the rear dvd system (cos that will make their job easier...)
Retail for that is $1800, I think I got it for $1500... Pretty sure he's making some $$ on it... but I think I get an ok deal, so, didn't hassle too much....
it took them 1 day to locate a car for me after that, and then I need to talk to the finance guy... surprisingly, he's not too pushy either....
closing day, the lady is good at explaining the major functions... and such... the car is preped good...
overall a good experience....
so far, no problems... (only has like 270 mi) on it...
good luck !!!
Thanks,

There are very few new 2006 Lexus 330 AWD in the DC metro area with the navi system so I was pleased with the deal that I got. All of the negotiations on pricing etc were done by email with the Internet sales manager.

I'm willing to spend up to 40K. Is this not enough to get a nice SUV with few reported issues? It certainly sounds like.
Your feedback is appreciated. :confuse:

I called dealers from MD to NC and 3 would not take anything less than sticker, 1 never replied to my request (Lexus of Richmond), 1 said $2083 off MSRP and the 1 I purchased from Pohanka Lexus of Chantilly.
I think I made a Fair deal not a great deal but fair. If I wanted to wait a couple more months I might have gotten more off. Being from SoCal it was always easier to get bigger discounts.
I looked at the RX330 '06 but could not justify paying above invoice (couple 100 over) for a 1 year old car and the dealers would just laugh when I said I want it for below invoice. The RX350 Nav was what sold me.
The deal was made over the phone and drove 2 hours to Pohanka Lexus of Chantilly they were extremely helpful, polite, and never tried any funny stuff. Spent about 30 min doing paper work and about 45 min going over the RX. Crap there is a lot of stuff!!!
Total time spent 2 hours w/ 20 min just test driving the RX.
All I can say about the RX '07 is Perfection
I got an e-mail "advertisement" from a local dealer, stating $5,700 off new 06 RX330's. I called to get the details, and this applies to fairly loaded models with navigation, with an MSRP of about $45,700, so the pricing would be right at $40k.
I'm generally skeptical about any "advertised" price, figuring that they must have more room than what they "throw" out there, but this seems like such a good deal, I'm thinking I would just as soon not negotiate any further, assuming the trade-in on her RX300 is fair.
Any thoughts on that pricing?

I went with the Neptune Blue Mica w/ light gray. Exterior looks black at night and black in the shade.
I liked the Bamboo Pearl,Flint, and Silver. The blue was the one my wife wanted. She also wanted Green and they are not building the RX w/ Green until late summer (per Dealer).
As far as the interior colors go we really like the Ivory but I just hated the yellow tint wood. The Light Gray has the darker wood and looks real sharp.
39995 is what I came up on invoice.
Remember dealer has a hold back of ($727 FWD) and ($755 AWD)
As far as pricing thoughts it really depends on where you live.
There are some posts that indicate that Southern Cali is selling RX330 '06 for 1500 below invoice.
Out on the east coast I found that the dealers would not go below invoice. Being that it is a '06 year car with 20 miles on it still makes it a 1 year old car.
I looked at it this way
RX330 $5700 off
RX350 $2950 off
Diff $2750 more for the RX350
I will get half that back when I go to trade it in
So really It only cost me 1375 for a '07 RX350 with increased performance,Gen 5 NAV (upgraded), better Insulation, and to top it off 5.3% increase in MPG for the city.
If the mother-in-law wants the RX330 do everything to get below invoice.
Just My Personal opinion...
We're in Denver, so I believe the more aggressive deals seen in Cali and perhaps Texas are better than here.
So, I was pretty happy with the "invoice" deal, and I'm aware of the holdback but, frankly, I'm not too concerned about "allowing" them to keep that. More power to you if you "dip" into that.
BTW, the "5.3%" increase in MPG for the RX350 sounds better than saying 1 MPG.

Gotta say this 07 looks just like our 04. My wife is the Lexus driver. I always thought her 04 felt like a very pleasant and luxurious but rebadged Toyota. . . a little too loud, buzzy, and harsh for a Lexus. Gotta also say the 07 feels like a Lexus. The additional power is certainly quicker, but what it really does is add to the luxury feel. It's got a quiet authority her old one did not. They've nailed this car. It is quiet and smooth as "butta". God is in he details. Lexus seems to understand that.
