2010 Lexus 350 AWD with options: C1, CP, EK, NV, PA, PM, TO V3, WL and WU.
This brings up an MSRP of $48441. The invoice comes to $43245 (using this tool). Truecar.com lists the dealer cost as $43528. The dealer is claiming $43722 and is willing to show me their invoice. What I don't know, is what is included in their invoice to account for that $500 difference, and is it something I should go after?
It's hard to say what a good price is reading the reports on the board. Many people, myself included, have paid around invoice price. Thats about what your offer looks like.
Then several people have reported some incredible deals, 2k plus under invoice, mostly in the NJ NY area.
I believe when I bought my car, about a month ago in VA, I got the best price that could be negotiated. I paid about 43,500 on an MSRP of 48,400. The dealers (5) I was working with were selling them as fast as they could get them in.
I noticed one guy on the board was going to drive from Ohio (I think) to NJ to get one of the great deals. To be honest I was questioning some of the deals reported, based on my personal experience. I guess the prices can vary that much from one area to another. Some of the "great deal" reports read like BS, but some seem legit.
Test you dealer out, make a lower offer and walk for a couple of days. E mail some of the dealers offering the super discounts. Maybe it would be worth the drive for you.
I found a deal out of my area (state) for about 1k less than my local dealer. I finally decided it wasn't worth the inconvienience for 1k. For 3k, I would have used a weekend to go get the car.
My wife loves the car
Good luck 94 ... let us know what happens
Cheers,

Anyone else think my deal is a good one or can I do better?
PLEASE?
I'm hoping Seattle area dealers will come close to this price to save me the hassle of shipping a car across country.
I bought an RX350 ---- (premium package - no nav) w/ vented seats, cross bars,tow prep,reverse camera in mirror, wooden trip on steering and shift ---- in Bay Area,California this past weekend. Two dealers quoted the same price - $38K , I went into one and told him that the other dealer was quoting a lower price... they dint budge.... so I walked out ... I dint get a call till the next day... I went to the other dealer and bought the car for $38K
Couple of other dealers quoted 1K more. So unless you can wait longer and find out - I would say 38K is a fair deal
I would like to buy a RX 350 this week. Can you please advise which dealership I can get the price ($38K, with the options) you have mentioned here?
Thank you for your help!

Who is the dealer?
So I've gone back to Infiniti. This will be my 4th Infiniti. I'm getting an FX35, which retails for considerably more than the RX350, but I was able to negotiate a deal for only $1000 more than the best offer I could get on a Lexus here. I had concerns initially going back to one particular dealer here, but luckily a new owner bought the competition dealership and they are great. I also got a fair deal on my trade, a 2008 EX35 with 67500 miles. Additionally, the FX35 does not have the mechanical issues with the vehicle that I've read about with the RX350 here on this forum. And the Inifiniti salesmen (yes - I only dealt with men at Infiniti) were impressed that I had done research and knew what I was talking about. There was give and take in the negotiations and at the end of the day, we both feel good about the final deal.
So, if you don't have to deal with a trade, it sounds like the best deals for the RX350's can be made in MA, NY, NJ and IL. Many thanks to this forum for all of the information you provided. Even though I ended up not buying the car I thought I wanted, I was a much more educated buyer in the long run.
Best way, negotiate by email... Mention all the details you want ( color, awd or fwd other options). Many dealers are willing to email the quote as well as the car details . If you have at least one official quote from a dealer others are definitely willing to negotiate. Also read yelp reviews for dealerships many have written the sales agent names who are extremely polite and helpful
If you're interested in joining me and my friends to get a better deal on the 2010 RX350, please reply to this post. We also want to close the deal by 09/01.
Only during signing of paperwork, I noticed two $500 Lexus certificates good until 08/31 which I pretty much signed over to the dealership. I decided not raise an issue with it as the salesman was nice enough for me to have a car with the options I wanted and it had 3 extra options that I thought about getting but didn't think it would fit into the monthly payment.
Purchased at Rockville MD, MSRP about 47600, negotiated to $40k+tax (6%)+tags+registration
options incl premium, backup camera, 19 inch wheels, tow prep.
was quoted 41,475 + tax/tag.
thinking its too much, any opinions?

I too have bought a 2010 Lexus 350 AWD for 14% off MSRP which was the number offered by phone in answer to my email inquiry. They didn't have one in stock with the colors and features I wanted but one had been built three days previously and not yet delivered so I ordered it. I asked about the Lexus certificates but was told they had only received a limited number of these and they all had been used. I didn't attempt to negotiate the price further because this vehicle had features I wanted that aren't available on cars destined for the southern US market.
I had sent requests to over 10 dealerships from the east coast to Texas and none were interested in competing if they even bothered to answer. One was the local dealer who said this price was over $4K better than the best deal his customers had been able to negotiate, and who had previously offered me a used one with 12K miles for >$3K more.
The only additional cost I am incurring (besides local taxes, insurance and DMV charges) is the transport cost from MA to SC. I got the same quote as T. Bartman from the Boston transport company, but am thinking of using the company I had worked with previously who quoted $650.00.
The excellent process description written by Tbartman is being followed very professionally by everyone I have spoken with at the dealership and they even mentioned I would need to get them a shipping invoice so I wouldn't have the hassle of paying then trying to reclaim MA sales taxes.
Within the next few weeks, I'd like to purchase the 2010 RX350 AWD (without nav). Preferably around the Seattle to Portland vicinity, but open to transports from CA.
I would appreciate hearing any fellow West Coasters' recent buying experiences - dealerships, prices, etc.
Many thanks in advance!
Tomorrow we're picking up a new 2010 RX350 RWD in South Florida with Comfort Gp, Premium Package, NAV Package, parking assist, ventilated/heated seats, towing package, 19" alloy wheels, 12 spkr premium audio, wood/leather steering wheel, and accessory package. MSRP is $47,644. Selling price is $43,365. Lexus Financial lease for 36 months with 36K miles, at $539/month gross including 7% sales tax, after $2,700 cash cap cost reduction, + 1st month at $539, and $100 for tag transfer from last RX350 being returned at lease end.
Will identify dealer if requested. We are repeat customers and get what are supposed to be very good deals.
Would be interested if any comments on the merits of our deal, although I was told by another dealer that it was a winner.

Is anyone here from NC, south VA ? I have not been able to get a decent price here..despite contacting 4-5 dealers within 200 miles.
I am trying to get the same deal at Rockville. Would you mind giving more info about the sales person etc. When I mentioned the deal, they want to find out who got it and don't believe me. They want the customer name. If you are not comfortable sharing your name can you at least let me know who the sales person was.
Thanks.
This is the final offer from my dealer. What do you feel about this deal?
2010 Rx350 AWD with Premium, Comfort, Nav, Tow Prep, Wood Steering. MSRP 47400.
Lease terms: 3k out the door, 535/month, 36/10k miles.
Just curious..how does the MSRP on this come to only 47,644? When I do that through truecar , it comes in at $48,785 or so ..
Can you please list the final price you paid, or at least what AWD package you got, such as with or without navigation.
Thanks!
Did you ever do your group purchase? I know Im months late but would def do if not too late. If you did already purchase, can you share deal from Prestige Lexus? I live near the dealership and am looking for fully loaded RX 350
Thx, dennis
Optional equipment was CP, EK, NV, PM, TO, V3, WU, and 3T on an AWD 350 with 18 inch wheels ( MSRP $48,259) for $41,025 plus $369 Doc fees. The car is being released for the transport company Monday evening and will be picked up on their normal swing through the MA area on Tuesday with an expected delivery time in SC of Friday Sept 3rd. The Watertown folks went out of their way to get me the doc's overnight so I didn't have any delays with the SC tax office or DMV. A delay would have meant the transport co. wouldn't pick it up until the following week so the doc fees were certainly justified.

I am also talking to Prestige and have received a couple of quotes. Let me know if u want to discuss more.
The rep @ the dealer told me that anything done outside of the dealership will void the warranty, such as installing remote start. This doesn't sound right to me, but I could be wrong. Does anybody know if this is true?
Also, they didn't have much information about what roadside assistance really entails, and I'd also like to know how long the stock tires are rated for. Thanks for any assistance!
The best out of door price, I will pay cash. Who has the best price???
Should I get a 2010 or 2011? I live in FLORIDA lots of dealerships to dirve to in a 2 hour drive time. Who has the best price? Let me know what dealer and salesperson. Thank, Susan
Would you please send me the dealer information?
