sorry my answer is late cause i was waxing my car outside. still i love it
Thanks!
Negotiate hard. These are NOT "rare" vehicles if you are content with the standard $53k MSRP spec vehicle that is shipping to most dealerships (that package has nav, luxury package, etc, but not rear seat entertainment, variable suspension, or radar speed control, which was a huge loss for me, but not worth $4500).
As long as you note that it's the RX450h, then Car_man will give you the correct numbers..

There are also conditions that the driver has no control over as the ambient temperature. As the temperatures drops below 50 degrees, the engine and battery use more energy to allow thinks like the heaters to keep you warm and toasty.
I found in my new 450h as well as my previous 400h that when the temperature drops below 50 degrees I lost between 2 and 2 1/2 mpg. In the late summer and fall in Seattle I was averging 27 1/2 in combined city /freeway driving. My 2 round trips to Portland I averaged 31 and 32 mpg on my 450h. My 400h averaged about 2 1/2 mpg less respectively. My overall average mpg for 3,500 miles is 27.5 mpg.
If you live in LA where the temperature stays warmer you should get better mpg than someone who lives in Seattle.
Some other things you might try is combining short trips into longer ones and watch the pressure in your tires.

You do not have to work down from MSRP. You can actually work up from the actual dealer invoice, minus the hidden LDA cost.
The actual cost of the RX 450h is really around $47,500 - $48,500 (including the destination charge of $875) depending on the options. Then they'll tack on this LDA fee (which you do not have to pay). Thus bringing the total to a little over $49,000. So if the MSRP is between $53, 500 - $54,500, they will still rob you of thousands when they offer to come down about $2000 or $3000.
Meaning they just made 2% of the selling price, plus a free LDA fee, plus recouped their destination charge of $875 back from you and still got an extra $3000 on top of all of this out of you. Plus they have a clause that they reserve the right to keep all customer rebates. So this $750 customer rebate that they have can only be used if you finance through Lexus. They may not tell you about this rebate and if you finance through them, they can keep your $750.
You'll find all of this information and more on edmunds.com.
thanks for replying.. i am reading more about the buy i had mentioned, thanks for sharing the info regarding TDA and other hidden costs. How is your search coming along and in which area are you looking to buy the car.
Also, what do you think, how much are you willing to pay for the specs I had mentioned, thanks again in advance !
customer rebate for finance where did you find that from, did not find it on lexus website or other places.
Destination charge usually is a part of Invoice.
what do you think is a reasonable percentage profit (you are willing to pay) for this car on sale, as i understand dealer receive 2 % of sale per your message.
I am in Greenville, NC. Any suggestions on a dealership?
Excellent dealership.
Tradeins have probably taken a hit since I got mine, however, I got $22,500. With the tax savings, it came to about $24,500 net, which was in my ballpark. Mine had 48K and was in excellent shape.
I also recommend that anyone getting the new one get the body side moldings-they don't come on the car any more, and ours got dinged the other night-better that than the door itself.
Good luck!
When taxtime came around after buying the 400h in 2006 we found that the tax savings mostly evaporated due to AMT.
JUST TODAY, Wife and I walked in Longo Lexus, just wanting to test drive the 450h on this memorial weekend. Ended up w/ with a pretty decent deal (I think).
2010 Matador red, premium package, 2wd (no need for 4wd as we dun do off road or anything). MSRP 51890. First time buying a new car, but couple things I think I've learned on the way:
- At first my wife wants the Pearl white, but I cannot stand Tan or Gray interior, and black interior need custom order, out of question. The matador red stands out beautifully on black. If you want black interior, check the website first, and forget pearl.
- All 450h in west coast have premium pkg, no exception, u want highend hybrid, thats the only way to roll.
- All new cars on the floors are financed under dealership's name until its sold, the longer it's on the floor, the more dealers are paying for it, keep this in mind when make your selections. Can even ask the agent how many days it's been on the lot.
- The final price will always be packaged along with the financing, higher interest/longer term, you can get the car lower price, cuz dealer can justify the profit in this way. So after talked with sales, and manager to get the lowest price, talk w/ finance dept, tell them the rate is too high and you'll get the financing somewhere and swap it in (its your right to do so within a given time period), and they'll try harder to work w/ you on the rate. I'd say do not ever say yes to the first rate they give you.
- After getting the financing deal down, make sure it has no early payment penalty, so you pay it off earlier, save some interest (which might be higher then what u'd like as u get a lower out the door price).
- Finally, I think the best time to get a lexus is always the end of the 1st yr a new model comes out, you get the new model, but unlike getting it beginning of yr, which probably have no discount off MSRP. I was waiting on the 2011 GS (big refresh rumored), but thinking it'd be right on MSRP, and I can't wait another year for a car.
We ended up getting it for 46000, ~6000 off MSRP. Which I feel a good deal. Got the luxcare pkg, and the 100000/7yr bumper 2 bumper as well. for an expensive hybrid, believe it'd pay for itself.
One last thing, if u in LA area, goto Longo (the largest in LA/westcoast), ask for Felix Giles, what a legend (former navy, racer, engineer, professor), and a truly great person to deal with, helpful, honest and made the deal way more easier for us. I wouldn't do this deal without him.
May I ask how much did the dealer charge you for the luxcare pkg and the 100.000/7yr ?
Carmax appraised at $22,000, second lexus dealer said value was 22-24. Looks like CPO versions of this car with similar mileage are being offered by dealers in the 31-35k range depending on which region it is being sold.
was $54,9xx.
Options: AWD; Premium package; Comfort package; Nav. system; Head up display; assist. parking; 19'' wheels; wood steering wheel; ...
I believe the invoice is around $49,5xxx.
Hope the info would helps someone when buying a similar car.
I'm new here.
Just seeking for 450H AWD, golden color with Mark Levinson, Navigator, Luxury Package and CP too, but not avaiable in CA.
Can you show me where I can find one?
Thanks

Thanks again
