I live in San Diego now and will be purchasing the FWD model. I used to live in Ithaca, NY and four wheel drive saved my life.
The equipment includes, NAV package, PPlus package, 18" wheels, Heated seat package, cargo net and wheel locks.
Is anybody getting below invoice or below the above price with sam equip? What is the current money factor and residual for a 36 month, 15000 mile lease with tier one credit?

I guess the bottom line would be if you looked closely and were happy with the paint job, forget about it, keep the car and tell the dealer you want a couple hundred dollars back for there oversight. Or have them take the car back. Depends on your state laws. Good Luck.
2007 AWD Rx350
Flint Mica & Gray Interior
Premium Plus Package
Navigation system
Towing Prep
Cargo Mat & Wheel Locks
$40,649 before Tax & License
I shopped around and got $40,749 from Magnussen Lexus in Fremont, contacted Putnam Lexus and asked if they could beat the price. They did, and I went in. The car won't be delivered until 9/19, but I believe I good a very good deal.
Putnam offered 4-year Service/Maintenance for $3995, which includes a free Extended Warranty of 7-years/100K mile. I did a quick calculation and believe it was a good option, so I took the offer, too.
Good luck, guys and gals.

If I were you, I'd also check out Stevens Creek Lexus. I worked with Putnam and Fremont and Serramonte and Stevens Creek blew them all out of the water in terms of the RX they were offering (we bought an '05 with 12k miles) and the price. No one else could touch them. Do yourself a favor and check them out. They were really easy to work with. Also, I think the price you got quoted for maintenance and extended warranty are a bit high.
Best of luck!

I actually did agree to a number with the Fleet Mgr at Stevens Creek. The quote was $41200 for a similarly-equipped Rx350. The problem with Stevens Creek was they have been selling the Rx like hot cup cakes and were not under any pressure to quote low. I have no ideas why the Rx has been moving so well lately.
Thanks for the advice. I will do some checking around for the price on the service/maintenance.

What dealer do you get for this deal? I am in Boston too and looking for a 2007 Lexus AWD with the same options as you mentioned: Premium Plus Package with 18'' wheel and Navigation system. If you know the sales person name, that would be great.
Anyone in Boston area getting this Lexus for the 41k or close to that deal?
Thanks
Hi lok888,

Anyone purchased a FWD with this option. It does NOT have NAV. If so what price in California?
is pretty much the same thing as the Premium
Package. This is the exact same options as
the '07 RX350 that I purchased back in August. The MSRP on my vehicle was approx. $40,000 and I believe the selling price was approx. $37,000. I'm also leasing my vehicle.
So as far as the packages go, I believe it starts with the Premium package, Premium Plus package, the Navigation package and the Navigation/Mark Levinson package with some others such as the Performance Package and
add-ons such as the laser cruise control(not sure of the actual name of it) and possibly some other options that I can't remember right offhand.
What price do you think I can offer on a demo with 500 miles taking into consideration that I will be buying it by Sep 30, end of the quarter.
thanks guys !
Thanks
I got my Rx last week. After driving it for almost a week now, I must admit it's a much better car than the old MDX I was looking at initially. There are a lot of thoughtful designs in this car than I realized.
Anyway, just keep shopping around, submitting request for quote through edmunds.com, through cars.com, through cardirect.com every week. When certain fleet/internet manager has a bad week, he/she will give you a lower quote out of desperation. Then negotiate on the lowest quote. That was what I did.
I am sure you will see some special offers for maintenance in their F&I office. BTW, my dealer would charge from $100 to $200 for the recommended maintenance service and expect more at 60000 miles.
Reply would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Not contacting you for a while. I was just wondering how is your new RX350 doing during the past big snow storm?
I am now trying to get one from CA (made in Japan). The AWD ones in a few dealer there have no color combine I like. So I also get one with FWD. I use this car only for city travels (Between Clearance and Downtown buffalo). So I think FWD should be good enough since it has VSC and traction control.

nice to hear from you.
I also get my gas at BJ's. Did you notice any milage/gal difference between 87 and 93? 93 is supposed to have 6% more carbon than 83 and therefore more energy (7% more compared to 87) based on chemsitry.
Charles
Too soon to tell, still on my first tank of 87. 19.8 mpg avg with 93 octane. I want to clock another 1,000 miles or so on the 87 to make a proper comparison.
Pete
Cleveland, as far east as Boston, as far south as NJ...downstate NY.....eastern PA....and even to the DC area. Please advise. The dealers here are killing me with their very professional, but very smug attitude. A deep discount, not a shallow discount with window dressing on it. Oh yes...it will be for a leased RX, 3 years, 12k miles/year.
Thanks to all in this forum that can provide help.
You may want to try dealers in LA region in CA. You can get price as low as $35600 for FWD AND $37000 for AWD (no NAV. + $2200 for nav.). Find a car transportion company on ebay (cost $800 - 1000). You can get a car made in japan there and maybe the same or even lower price after adding the transporation cost. Most importantly, you will not feel you are treated as an idiot.
Good luck.
I would really appreciate your help.
BTW, All, is it true that you can buy the base RX350 AWD with just NAV?? I thought they always made you buy other packages since the equiped options were "cookie cut" in that manner. For ex, Yes NV is a $2650 option but you will have to take in a premium plus if you needed NV unless you special ordered it.. That's how it used to be.. Have things changed??
Cheers!!

You don't have to worry about all the tricks that car sale people use to spin your head . The simple rule is to negotiate for a price that is between $4500-$5000 below the MSRP, then all you have to pay in addition to that is the Tax & License fee.
Jeff
I am looking for a 2007 350RX base in Boston. Only thing I want is just the premium package and heat seat. Nothing else.
ANyone recently purchase on in the boston area could help please ?
Also was wondering do you guys get the same discount if it's a special order with just the package you wanted ?
THanks
E.g. RX350 FWD with /premium plus package/heated seats with Rain-sens wipers and headlamp washers/18" tire/wheel lock/cargo mat/ -- Inovice from both KBB and Costcoauto is $36,692 (destination included)and MSRP is $41496.
The best price so far I got for FWD is $35,550 (destination included. Extra includes $60 document fee. You have to pay, of course, tax) and $36,900 for AWD with the same options. That is more than $1100 below invoice.
Without knowing your final price and cars with what kind of options/packages, it is hard to judge the deal. Here are a couple of problems for your approach:
1. a $5000 off the MSRP for a RX350 FWD base model with the least added options/packages is a MUCH MUCH better deal than a fully loaded AWD one.
2. Your calculation is OK ONLY for RX350 with big PRICE gap between invoice and MRSP.
Then what is your final price and what options for your car?
33,099 Invoice
1,932 Prem. Plus Pkg.
695 Freight
485 Advertising
1,350 Profit
$37,561 Net
Plus tax & title etc., go to Msg #193 of Sept. 6th for more information; eMail me for the name of salesman if interested.
