    It's ok deal. I have seen people getting 5K off MSRP and those had lower MSRP then yours. Considering 2011 should be here soon, It's not good deal. If you really have to buy it then go ahead.
  • jtlajtla Member Posts: 388
    I think you should try to negotiation another $1,500 off. With dealer fee, your quote is discounted by less than $3,500. As funnyguy pointed out, people are getting $5k+ off on a lesser car. The invoice on that car is about $45,000. At $5,000 off the dealer is still making $800 plus dealer holdbacks.

    I got an AWD RX350, MSRP $52,600 for $47,000. Plus they took my 2007 RX350 which had a $26,000 balance on the lease, and gave me $30,000. However, it only had 18,500 miles.

    I'm in the process of buying rx 350. The dealer ship in new orleans wants to sell the suv for 47,500.00 That price is to high. I would purchase for 39,000.00.

    Hi
    I am getting a deal
    $47250 @ $550 pm/12K miles lease for a RX 350 - 2010 AWD + Nav. I asked him to include the DVD but he said it would be $1500 more for the flip one.

    Let me know if this is a good deal?

    Thanks

  • marqevansmarqevans Member Posts: 29
    Do you have sales tax to pay or is that rolled into the lease?

    This is an amazing deal. We went to a NJ Lexus dealer today, for a RX350 AWD with PM, HS, EC, TO, & WU packages plus some little things (like cargo net, wheel lock), without NV, they wanted $40,900. I wish I could get similar discount for the RX configured as I want.

    One question, the dealer said all RX came with previously mentioned packages, however I only want PM and EC, do not care about HS, TO & WU packages. But they said those kind of configuration needs to be specially ordered. Is that true? Thanks!
  • henry_gearhenry_gear Member Posts: 2
    Hi Rxowner,
    Would you give me the dealer's name that you bought the car from? Is your car a FWD or AWD?
  • rustlerskirustlerski Member Posts: 2
    Was just quoted $43,919 + t&l for 2010 RX 350 AWD with PM, NV, CP, EK, FT, PA, PM, TO, WU packages. Is this a good price or should I be more aggressive with it? I'm in Socal.

    Also, my request to the dealer was with only the PM, NV, HS, EK and WU packages. The dealer tells me that I cannot just get these but have to get all the ones listed above (such as CP instead of just HS). Does anyone know if Lexus takes custom orders so I'm not paying for options I don't want/need?
  • jabberjawsjabberjaws Member Posts: 9
    Dealer offered me $40,900 on RX350 with every option but Nav. MSRP is $43,800. Is this a good deal? What is best deal some of you might have received for this same configuration?

    It was in the LA area. A few of the dealerships in the LA area will sell it for $40,500. You have to really work them to get to $40,000. I bought the fwd.
  • adam2009adam2009 Member Posts: 13
    Hey Dong99... could it be possible to give me the contact info of the dealer in NJ.. I am also shopping around for an RX350 with CP ,NAV & RE(Rear entertainment)

    Thanks for you help
  • rar2rar2 Member Posts: 13
    Hi, Jabberjaws, I have been quoted $39200 for RX350 AWD with Premium pkg, heated ventilated/seats,wood/leather steering,towing prep package;backup monitor in rearview, plus remote starter (believe I included everythin) with an MSRP of $44090. I'm in Mass. It was in December but they have called me as recent as end of February with same pricing.
  • jabberjawsjabberjaws Member Posts: 9
    Thanks for your info rar2. I went again yesterday and tested one with nav., premium and comfort package that was about MSRP $47,300 -- they will sell at $500 over invoice which is around $43,000. Is this a good deal?
  • adam2009adam2009 Member Posts: 13
    Hey jabberjaws, I am in NY and I was quoted 46,500 for the same configuration... you seem to be having a good quote... would you mind giving me the info for the dealer and contact... Mas is 2 hr drive for me... i am thinking of getting it from Mas if the they can give me for the same price...it may be worth the drive... Also how much would it be for the rear entertainment package...

    Thanks and appreciate your help
  • mefromflmefromfl Member Posts: 32
    Is it normal for my dealer to ask me for 1k deposit to special order my car? Is there any trick with this?

    they say they don't have a prem with nav, comfort and luxury and those needs to be special ordered.

    Please let me know what I should say when they want deposit.
  • marabuntamarabunta Member Posts: 24
    I don't believe that it is unusual for a dealer to request a deposit when specially ordering a vehicle. Just make sure that you get locked into a good price. Your deposit will probably not be given back if you change your mind so you want everything spelled out in your agreement.
  • jabberjawsjabberjaws Member Posts: 9
    What -- you were quoted $46,500 for a vehicle with $47,300 MSRP? That is definitely not a good deal. All dealers in the Atlanta area are around the $42 - 43,000 range on $47,300 MSRP config so contact any of them in the area and they can get you much, much better deal. Try Nalley Lexus -- they are great. I am not getting the rear entertainment package so don't have price on that option.
  • funguy123funguy123 Member Posts: 94
    that is a worst price I have seen here... Anything below $4k - $5k discount is NOT a good deal.

    Actually, since this almost end of 2010 RX, I would say wait a little while, you could get $8k - $10k off when 2011 comes out.
  • rustlerskirustlerski Member Posts: 2
    Updating my post from before (2010 RX 350 AWD with PM, NV, CP, EK, FT, PA, PM, TO, WU), I have a dealer offering $43,684 on a sticker of $49,044.
    This seems like a pretty good deal to me. Is it?
  • cruiserroncruiserron Member Posts: 12
    I got one with everything including the luxury package, heads up, and Mark Levinson sound system. The dealer checked with other dealers and I got it the next day.

    I saw an earlier post asking about McGrath Lexus of Westmont. I had a horrible buying experience with them. You should avoid McGrath. There are plenty of other Lexus dealerships in the Chicago area that are more reputable and will treat you better.

    I currently live in Portland and sadly there is only one dealer in Oregon. They quoted me a sad ~$1500 off a MSRP $49000 Rx. Thinking about getting the car from CA or WA then flatbed ship the car to OR. Anyone had experience in doing so? What are the things that I should take caution about?

    Thanks!

    Dealers do this all the time and there are a number of companies that transport vehicles. Why not make arrangements to pick up the vehicle on a Saturday morning and drive it home? US 1 North along the coast is a great drive and you can break the car in. The savings will easily pay for your effort and a night, with a great meal in Carmel, CA. I have purchased a number of new cars from "out of state" over the years and I always pick them up at the dealerships and drive them home. If you ship it make sure that you use a bonded company.

    If the car is delivered to you, out of state... you won't owe California tax...

    However, all California dealers are required to collect sales tax for any car they sell in California...

    In the past, some dealers would drive the car across the Nevada state line to deliver to out-of-state customers...

    (of course, if you are a Calfornia resident, you'll pay the tax, no matter where the car is delivered)

    I was able to come to terms with a dealer through email

    they didn't ask me for deposit, is this normal? Can they scam me in anyway and I don't get the car I wanted in 2 weeks?

    What are the scam involve when i'm waiting on a car for delivery. Or should I just make a small deposit?
  • marabuntamarabunta Member Posts: 24
    If you like the deal and do not feel you can do better, then give then give them $1,000 on the car. I try to use my cashback credit card for the deposit, but the dealer will only let me charge $3,000 so that is usually my deposit. I just like to have the dealer "locked in" on good deals.
  • bburton222bburton222 Member Posts: 3
    Could you please let me know what the two PMs options were? Also what dealer did you select in the end and were you satisfied?

    Thanks

    Mr cruiserron - Can I ask how much you paid? I was given a price of $50985.00 for an MSRP of $53,254.00. They don't have the vehicle I want in the lot and had to order it with the luxury package, heads up and Mark Levinson. I'm from Oregon and wondering if this amount is too high?
  • cruiserroncruiserron Member Posts: 12
    My MSRP was $52,600 and I paid $47,000. I think you should not have to pay more than $47,582. That is taking the same percentage off MSRP that I got.
  • cruiserroncruiserron Member Posts: 12
    You know they may be charging you more for the special order. Have them check with other dealers for a vehicle equipped as you would like, even as far as Washington or Northern California. The cost for them to transport to Oregon would still be worth it.

    New 2010 RX 350 FWD, has everything (including chrome wheels) except the heads-up display: sticker was 52,018, and when done, the price was down to 46,500. Bought it two days ago in Valencia CA. Love it!
  • jabberjawsjabberjaws Member Posts: 9
    After months of pondering which SUV to buy -- the RX350 or the Audi Q5 -- I quickly decided on the RX350 after going back to the Audi dealership this weekend to try out their Navigation on the Q5. The nav on the RX350 was far superior than the Q5, so this sealed my decision. I got a white RX350 with nav, premium package, park assist, etc. for $41,900 -- MSRP was $47,300. I feel I got a great deal and the salesman was teriffic. I am happy thus far with my purchase!
  • marabuntamarabunta Member Posts: 24
    Another possibility would be for you to order the vehicle from your California dealer and have it "drop shipped" to another dealer in your state, Have you discussed this with your dealer to see what options the dealer can offer?
  • maximafanmaximafan Member Posts: 592
    Mark, did the MSRP on the car include the Chrome Wheels or did they charge for the wheels??

    Just started looking at 2010 SUV's and have it narrowed down to the Lexus RX350 and Nissan Murano. We are located in Houston, Texas. The sales person at the Lexus dealership quoted $44,109 w/o NV and $47,644 with NV stating they would come down around $2,300. From reading the posts, it seems like 10% or more is the norm for discounting off the MSRP. Should 10% off be our starting point?
    Thank you for any help.
  • cruiserroncruiserron Member Posts: 12
    Yes, 10% should be the starting point.
  • mefromflmefromfl Member Posts: 32
    I got a pretty good deal from a Tampa dealer - $5,500 off msrp and discount on the rear dvd entertainment.
