2k down (includes first month etc.) $465 per month including taxes. 3 years 36k Miles.
I'm on Swapalease. I own a Lexus IS 250 which I love, however, I just purchased a tear drop trailer and I'm looking for a tow vehicle. I'm a true-blue Lexus enthusiast. I've got my eye on the RX350 but prices in LA make me sad!

In summary - I now have the car I wanted at the price I wanted (~7000 below MSRP) from Lexus of Watertown and they were great through the whole process.

I don't want to face additional tax in Illinois to get it registered and Ill. plates. Anyone?
I wanted the same model with yours and used your price ($38k+tax for OTD) to negotiate with the dealers. One of them asked for a copy of the final Bill Of Sale and retail finance contract of yours so they would believe me and match the deal. I am wondering if you guys could give any suggestions? Thank you very much!
Where are you located? If you are going to buy from one of the MA dealers (Watertown or IRA), you don't need to jump through these hoops. As you can see from a bunch of posts, they seem to be offering these deals to everyone. The dealer is not going to match (or not match) just because you show him a contract for a sale to someone else from another dealership. They will match it if they believe it is in their interest to do so (they make money on it in some way, and they believe that they would lose the sale if they don't match the price). Showing the bill of sale from another dealership doesn't change the first thing. As for the second, the best bargaining chip you have is a quote from another dealership for yourself, and you can get that easily from one of those two dealerships, among others.
Hope that helps. Feel free to email me at s g b o n l i n e 2 0 0 3 at y a h o o . c o m, if you need more help.
I think you have thirty days on dealer plates--it's insurance you need to worry about! I just purchased a travel trailer from Minnesota and had it shipped to California. As soon as your vehicle arrives in your state?, you have about 10-20 days to register it and pay the tax--you don't need to pay MA tax.
Thank you very much! I have learned a lot from your posts.
I am in westchester, NY and just now a Lexus dealer in Manhattan agreed to match the deal with $38K + tax. But we are required to buy it before the end of tomorrow.
I am wondering if there is something I need to be careful with at the dealer. I don't want to be fooled by their tricks.
Thank you very much for all your help.
Once they agree to the price, I don't think they will fool you. Ask them to fax or email you a written offer. They might want to sell by tomorrow because of the end-of-the-month thing, and if you are comfortable with buying by tomorrow, go for it. 38K is a good price. However, I do think that the price will be around for a while, if not at that dealership then at some other one. I am still getting calls from dealers that I had contacted before, asking me if I am still looking for a car. MA is not that far from Westchester, so you might want to call a couple of dealerships there and get quotes from them as well, just to be sure. For all you know, one of them might come out even lower, although there IS a benefit to buying locally. If nothing else, you can use those quotes as leverage. Those guys are open pretty late (8 or 9pm) and they are pretty responsive, so you still can do that before tomorrow, in case you want to buy from lexus of manhattan.
Yesterday, I called Syracuse (Burdick) Lexus and said if they'll give it to me cheaper than invoice, and they said (after talking to their manager, of course!) that they have a $500 discount coupon if I'd pick up the car before 8/2/10. So I got all the paperwork ready, went today to pick up the obsidian RX350 for about $500 below MSRP + DMV fees. Very good experience with the sales rep, she spent several hrs with me on the phone and in person although it was her day off today. I'm happy with the ride, although a little nervous driving it (it being so spanking new and all).
ps-although Toyota/Lexus banking was offering 4.6% financing, they got a cheaper rate from outside bank for 3.25%.
This forum has been invaluable to me, so if any of you have any questions, you can post here and I'll try to answer as best as I can. Thanks!
Thank you

Here are the few reasons for that:
(1) Lexus is falling behind very quickly in % market share
(2) 2011 RX is around the corner, they have to get rid of 2010
(3) I see dealers are pushing all they can before August 2.
(4) Most new buyer are not going to buy older model (2010), even though it's same because your car is worth less when it says it's 2010 vs 2011. Buying 2010 is only worth if you are going to keep your car for 10 years or more.
(5) Lexus needs to get their new models (2011 with break override) out to cool down all the issues with their recall issues.
(6) Car sales in general will go down in coming months, Consumer confidence is down.
With that said, if you are still in the market for new RX350 You are probably going to score a good deal in coming weeks. Good Luck everyone!!
Best deal I've found is on a msrp of $47,147.00 now adv for $42,075.
Anyone had any dealings with FLEETRATES.COM? They have offices in Florida and California, and seem to have some good deals.
Cheers!
From what I've gathered on this board and a few other discussions, seems like I could get a brand new 2010 with this build for $41k - $42k, if this is the case I think I should be getting more of discount for one with 12k miles.
Anyone have thoughts on how much I should be able to get this used 2010 for, and/or what I realistically can get the brand new one for?
>> Those numbers indicate the invoice should be about $40.3K.
Funguy,
Can you simply share the price that you paid instead of the riddles :-)
thanks,
nah

I have not purchased this car yet. I am still looking. mpd04 said he paid 2.5 k below invoice so I was trying to put his price for everyone so I took edmund's invoice ((~40k) and -2.5k so I thought mpd04 paid 37.5k but instead it looks like he paid 38.xk.
Also the quotes I got so far are about $4k off MSRP, I suppose I could do better?
TIA.
Just wondering if you think this is a fair deal:
(I live in NY)
2010 RX 350 AWD ---no additional options
3700 total down includes taxes, title, fee's etc.
499 per mo
42 month lease
42,000 mile allowance
Thanks in advance --Matt
Dealer is willing to sell the vehicle at $43,830.
Is this a great deal for me? PLEASE ADVISE ASAP as I plan on making a move quickly.
Curious what people's opinion is ...
PLEASE?
Cheers,
JB
It has between 11,000 and 12,000 miles on it, and has everything except Navigation and the Mouse Remote control. For right now, I'm assuming it is stock + Option A on the Lexus site because I know it does have backup camera. It hasn't been in any accidents and it is being detailed right now. I should see it later this week and be ready to make a decision. Before I do that, I would like to know from my fellow forum members if this is a good deal for this type of vehicle.
Thanks for any input!
Good luck
JB
Good luck!
Are there concerns about the Lexus all wheel drive (AWD)?
Anyone has any idea what is RX 350's dealer cash for this month (I know there some cash, otherwise what's the point of Golden Opportunity)? I think Lexus is getting smarter, I bet there is a dealer cash but they must have rolled some way so that sites like Edmunds can't see them.
