I've followed the forum for 2 months. Thanks for the great info. It's my turn to tell my buying experience. Got 2007 RX 350 AWD, prem +, 18", no Nav. for $38-K (including destination charge but not TT) on 10/31 in a local dealership. List price was $43K. It's end of month. If you want good deal, you might need to wait 4 more weeks.
Driving is great.
Can someone tell the comparison between Gx470 and Rx350? Gx is 10K more, but has the same hp.
Good Luck. -- Z
Thanks

What dealership in the Bay area? Did you first obtain an internet quote or work with the fleet manager? If so how close was the final selling price to the original quote?
Thanks

I figure I probably need to buy my car somewhere other than North Carolina, where I live in order to get a good deal.
thanks!
Be careful with sticker, there is a $44,348 car out there that is the duplicate of the $43,056 car except with an added tow hitch. This is because Lexus dropped the price mid-year, but the older stock still exists. Unscrupulous dealers will not tell you this and will pretend that this car has more in it than the $43,056 car, it doesn't.
$37k month-end (definitely year-end) will probably take the $43,056 car. This is excluding tax and title but with delivery. We paid $100 for title, using existing plate. Dealers are pretty desperate to get rid of the stock on this vehicle. Very low demand on the RX right now, not an "in" vehicle for some reason. Would have waited until end-of-year but wifey's car is off lease and needed to get her something to get her to stop shrieking about it.
Not my style on the car, but the wife likes it. Definitely a chick car.
Good luck.
Have heard that the dealer incentive on the 2006 LS is $2500. Not sure what the dealer incentive on the 2007 RX is. Suspect it is something similar. Dealer admitted they are moving "very slowly".
New Jersey. Go Giants!
model car that's approaching its third year
in this particular model, plus the competition
is heating up. Remember, I believe that the
RX300 was the benchmark that has begun the
crossover SUV interest due to gas prices and
various other advantages over a traditional
SUV. Just like Motortrend says, "may not be
the benchmark that it once was", the RX sure
has one nice cabin to sit in though!
Where did you find your rx350 pretty fully loaded for $43,050? - State, City, Dealership would be appreciated. I am close to buying and that beats any price I have seen for same vehicle.
Thanks, and enjoy your new SUV...I have a '04 rx330 (after spending 10 years in a wonderful es300) and love it. Just have a need for another.

The sales person that I worked with is outstanding. I fully trusted him and asked him for car inspection etc etc.
The transportation is good and costs only $700.
You can get one made in Japan in CA.
Let me know if you want the more information.

premium or nav in texas?
premium msrp: 40841
Nav msrp : 44146
Both normally come with HH+FT+C1+WL added.
Thanks,

The board was very helpful. I'm not sure why but the pricing in the south and southeast is not as aggressive as the rest of the country, especially southern CA. But, I was able to get under invoice with some diligence and patience. Contacted dealers in TN, AL, GA, NC and KY. Closed deal at the end of the month; got the car in TN, about 2.5 hr from where we live. The best prices in the southeast I had seen prior to this were about $1000 over invoice.
Thanks to everyone for posting about their experiences. It really helps.
What's your car's config and what wasn't included in the invoice-$1200 price (mats, delivery, etc.)? What was your OTD price?
Also, how did you get your RX transported to NY (can you provide any pointers, please)? I talked to a sales person at Mission Viejo a week ago, and he wasn't sure if they help with transportation (I live in the Seattle area).
You could reply in private (my email is specified in my profile). Thank you!
AWD $37000
FWD $35600 (destination included).
Invoice e.g for FWD kelly blue book = $36692; edmunds = $36963.
The only other fee is $45 document and around $25 other CA fee.
Cofig:
Premium plus pakcage (HID/AFS)
18" wheels with all-seanson tire/heated front seats/rain-sensor/headlamp washers/cargo mat/wheel locks.
You should check the transportation cost before buying it out of state (I guess you can get made in Japan ones from Seattle but not here in east coast - one of the reasons that I want to buy it in CA. It happened to be a very good experience dealing with the sales person Mr. R - first letter of his first name - sorry I can not give the name to you here. Please send me email if you need his name or if you can figure it our from the R I give to you mention that charles give the infor. to you).
Go to dependable auto shipper web site and figure how much it will cost you for transportation (the cheapest price that I could get). Use Pick up in CA and terminal in Seattle and your own car insruance.
Send me e-mail if you need more information
Good luck.
Thanks jb

Mr. R will handle all these for you.
More infor.? send me an email.
Here is the quote that I have from a dealer in NJ.
The MSRP: $45706
FT-18" All Season Tires
HH-Heated Seats with Rain Sensing Wipers
NV-Navigation with Back up camera and Bluetooth Technology
PT- Premium Plus Package

But that sale man told me that he will give me this one for $41,900 ( before tax, doc,etc...)
I don't know if this is a good price or not.
I'd prefer for a VN package but they said this package is not available in North east area. Is that true?
Please help.
Thank you.
I was told by another dealer in CA that they only accept cash for out of state purchase. How's your case. I contacted the dealer you mentioned and haven't get a response yet.
Yuo can email me (I put my email open)
Thanks a lot.
jjj7
Either finacing or cash is OK for them. I put $5000 in credit card to earn $250 from lexus credit card.
Go to http://www.lexusmissionviejo.com/ and click "about us".
You will see Mr. R name (first letter first name). He will help you for everything. Mention Charles, he should give the price that he gave to me. Post your experience if any.

Regarding email, carspace members can email each other by using the email link on the top right of each post. For the email addresses use the format: 'member'@carspace.com, substituting one's actual carspace name (in your case, charles12, and in mine pvsurfer) for 'member'.
$35600 + $45 DOC + $25 other ca fee - all paid to the dealer.
Tax paid in home state when registering the car.

I am looking for AWD, with navigation and premium plus pakage with a MRSP 05 45706
Thanks
Thanks.
You might be able to get one at about $39200 for the conf. you want.
Charles
The dealer sent me a CA owners certificate of the car. I used that to register the car and have the tilte in my home state.
Hope this helps
Charles
All of the prices on this site that are invoice or lower are from the west coast.
I have not located anyone willing to sell at invoice or lower on the east coast. Even Fleetrate will not sell on the east coast at invoice or even cloase to invoice.
Buyers on the east coast are at a disadvantge. :mad:
Is there any chance you come off as too eager to buy this car?
