1. Being right on capacity is never a good idea.
2. Did you include the trailer weight in your calculation?
Seriously, if that's what you need, buy a truck.
So I will keep shopping Lexus and other brands until I find a good deal.
On the other hand the $41000 you offered on the $45842 vehicle, I believe, is just about at cost. Maybe offer $42K.
Please keep us all updated.
Carsdirect.com, using your configuration, puts MSRP at $44807 and invoice $40590 . Wheel locks should be $81 you list $330?
That's a lot of profit: $3,742.77, on top of $525 advertising fee and $389 dealer prep.
Exclude those 2, you paid $1,405 above invoice.
Selling price = $41,170.44 +$825 shipping +$525 advertising +$389 dealer prep = $42,909.46.
2010 RX 350 FWD$31,832/$36,800
Comfort Package (CP) $1,600/$2,000
19" Wheels (FT) $528/$660
Navigation (NV) $2,052/$2,440
12 speaker audio (EK) $88/$110
Premium Package (PM) $2,028/$2.400
Cargo mat (C1) $55/$92
Cargo net (GN) $35/$59
Wood Trimmed Steering Wheel and Shift Knob (WU) $264/$330
Wheel Locks(WL) $51/$81
Destination (not added for dealer at this point/$825
Basically , you got about a $2900 discount.
Thanks
Does anybody know for sure if the financing rate Lexus gives through Lexus Financial Services is negotiable?
I'm looking to buy a certified pre-Owned 2007 RX 350 and they tell me the rate for 60 months is 5.9%. I know I can make it a short-term loan to receive the 2.9%, but I would rather keep the loan for 60 month.
I also know I could check out a couple of banks, which I did, to get a better rate. Bank of America's rate is 0.09% less, but has a $200 application fee and a slew of other hoops to jump through. AAA rates are good too, but again there are a bunch of hoops.
Also, for what it's worth, I have great credit.
Thanks in advance!!!

I wonder if they made their money on your trade in. What was your trade in and how much did they give you for it.
Thanks
Also, not sure I understand how they are doing pricing these days. If the MSRP is $46825 and includes the $825 transportion charge, how is it any kind of deal to say it's $1000 off and then tell you the new price is plus Taxes, tags, transportaion and doc fees?? Seems like it's only $175 off.
Thanks.
I don't qualify for PenFed's membership since I'm not in the geographic area. However, I did find that a local credit union has a rate of 4.49%, much better than Lexus’s 5.9% for 60 mo.
I still wonder if Lexus's rates are adjustable.

I doubt the dealership can change the rates dictated by Lexus/Toyota Financial Services. However, many dealers also have connections with a variety of financing sources. If they think they could lose your deal because Lexus' rate is too high, they would usually be glad to help you find financing elsewhere (even though they get some benefit by pushing you towards Lexus own finance arm).
You can do it right on PenFed's website..

Congrats on you new ride.
This is my first lexus so am really looking forward to enjoy the car.
How much was the doc fee?
Did you have a trade and how did you negotiate 800 below cost??
I have not heard of below cost on this forum, best price so far on the forum for a 2010.
It would be great if you would elaborate on the negotiation process-I am looking at a car at about the same MSRP, but being offered a much much higher net price. Did you offer them well below invoice to start or did they just offer you a great price right off, one you could not turn down? I assume there were no other fees other than the doc fee, taxes, title, etc. Lexus must offer bonuses to dealers if they sell a certain amount of cars each month and, maybe , your car put them over the top??
Thank you.
2010 RX350 FWD + NAV + Premium Plus package
Through LFS, 48months/40K Miles
$5000 down (cap cost is $3K+ first month+title+etc)
$499/month INCLUDING taxes.
It was important for me to keep the monthly to $499, so I put down $5K. Also note these numbers include taxes for LOS ANGELES County.
What do you think? Thanks.
Lexus Announces Pricing for All-New 2010 RX 450h and 2010 IS Convertible
TORRANCE, Calif. (April 23, 2009) – Lexus today announced the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the all-new 2010 RX 450h hybrid luxury utility vehicle and the 2010 IS250C and IS350C retractable hardtop convertibles. The original RX400h was the world’s first luxury hybrid vehicle when it debuted in 2005, and the all-new second-generation RX 450h once again raises the bar for design, engineering and luxury innovation in the segment. The 2010 RX 450h carries a base MSRP of $41,660 for the front-wheel drive (FWD) model and $43,250 for the all-wheel drive (AWD) version.
Continuing the performance and styling trends set by the IS luxury sport sedans, the ISconvertible provides the expressiveness of a convertible and the sporty styling of a coupe while expanding Lexus’ strong presence in the entry luxury segment. The 2010 IS250C will have a MSRP of $38,490 when equipped with a six-speed manual transmission; the IS250C with a six-speed automatic transmission will be $39,660. The IS350C will have a MSRP of $43,940.
RX450h
The 2010 RX 450h introduces an updated version of Lexus Hybrid Drive, featuring a 3.5-liter V6 Atkinson-cycle engine, lighter electric motors, a smaller and lighter power-control unit and other fuel-saving innovations. It offers up performance similar to V8s with better combined fuel economy than the average four-cylinder mid-size sedan. With an EPA-estimated 32 mpg city and 28 mpg highway (30 mpg combined) –30 mpg city, 28 mpg highway (29 mpg combined) for the AWD – it earns 16-20 percent better fuel economy than its acclaimed predecessor. While achieving improved fuel economy, the new RX450h produces 295 total system horsepower, 27 more than the current generation RX400h. It will achieve Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) certification in California (Tier 2-Bin 3 in other states), producing nearly 70 percent fewer smog-forming emissions than conventionally powered vehicles.
Active safety features include the available Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM), which governs all of the vehicle’s standard dynamic handling systems – the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Brake Assist, Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and Traction Control (TRAC) – employing them collectively and seamlessly to make corrections while allowing higher dynamic capability. The new RX adopts Hill-start Assist Control, which uses brake pressure to help prevent the vehicle from moving backward when starting out on an incline. The RX450h also has the available new Intelligent Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS), and the Pre-Collision System (PCS) with Dynamic Radar Cruise Control.
The 2010 RX450h is equipped with a segment-leading 10 standard airbags, including side curtain airbags, front seat-mounted side airbags, rear side airbags (for the outboard seating positions) and knee airbags for the driver and the front passenger.
It features new wider standard 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, which were designed to appear as if carved from a single block, and 235/60R18 tires. Optional unique 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheels with 235/55R19 tires are available.
Lexus’ available next-generation Hard Disc Drive (HDD) navigation system eliminates the need for DVD map discs and offers a unique voice recognition system, which can work using casual-language inputs on certain functions. A distinctive Remote Touch controller allows the user to operate the navigation system, climate, audio, phone controls and more. The screen menus are selected with the controller, eliminating the need to reach out or avert eyes from the road. The attribute that most distinguishes Lexus’ navigation controller from other devices in other luxury models is its “haptic”-feedback technology, which provides a tactile response to the hand.
The new RX450h accommodates a variety of music sources, providing auxiliary and available USB inputs, Bluetooth® Audio wireless connectivity and standard XM® satellite radio capability (requires subscription), which is also joined by XM NavTraffic® and XM NavWeather®.
An optional rear-seat entertainment system includes two high-definition seven-inch screens, one on each of the front seatbacks. The available wide-view side monitor and backup monitor each help provide the driver with a wider range of visibility.
The all-new RX450h is now available with a Heads-Up Display (HUD) that offers displays for speed, navigation, and audio. High-intensity LEDs project high-contrast white figures onto the windshield, which are easier to read – and easier on the eyes – than the typical green-colored readouts.

Premium package with Nav + heated/ventilated seats + wood trim + parking assist ?
it appears the HTC will be available in May but the release is saying mid summer for the hybrid RX (when we started this the RX was coming out in Jan and Hybrid in April--now we are looking at 3-4 months later-prob late July. I wonder if something is wrong with the Hybrid)
I am thinking that if I can get a decent discount on the regular 2010 RX I will just do that and not wait. Our old car is literally falling apart so I may not have a choice.
