Thank you all for your great help and valuable information, that were extremely useful when negotiating with dealers.
I purchased a certified 2010 Lexus RX 350 w/comfort pkg with 15K miles for 38K before tax and fees.
The taxes and fees came up to 5K.
With better negotiation, how much could I have saved?
Steve.
Take care,

MSRP for the car is about 49K, final price is about 41K and 45.5K OTD thanks to the high tax here in Northern California.
I was actually looking for the FWD w/ premium, navigation & 19" wheels version w/ MSRP of 45K but couldn't find any..seems the 45K models are all out here in bay area..they do have some 47K version of FWD left, but I thought might as well go for AWD.
Is this true? What happens if you do not take the car into a lexus dealer under their schedule is the wqarranty actually voided?? Does anuone know if that is somewhere in the fine print??
Thanks for your help for all of us

Comfort package
Luxury package
19" Wheels
Nav
Tow
Heads up display (shows $1200)
MSRP $50,504 is and an invoice $45,204.
hard ads
+250
Price dealer wants over invoice with few 2011's at this moment (pushed this down from a higher figure)
+447.50
half cost of the tow hitch install at the dealer. I could do this for 200 myself, but not worth the hassles to install a hitch
+1,399 dual DVD after market install. 7" with plenty of extras factory system does not have on # of inputs and programming for video games etc.
Total cost $46,900.50
I bought a 2010 w/o Nav but with backup camera. The backup diaplay is basically embedded in the rear view mirror. The total display is approximately 2 inches by 2 inches.
also, $8k off msrp is within range for 2010 rx350 w/ more options..but you can't expect same $8k off msrp for a base fwd or awd..basically, the more expensive the msrp is, the more discount you can get..

19" ALLOY WHEELS listed for $660 which is more than the $259 listed price for the ROOF RACK
So if I were you, I would take the deal and just have ROOF RACK installed at later time
2010 Lexus RX350 AWD
Premium - Nav - Comfort
It has roughly 7,000 miles on there, so it's used, but practically brand new. I've seen incentives of $7,000 - $8,000 off MSRP for 2010s, but I'm wondering what price I should be expecting for this slightly used model.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
If you or anyone here knows the answer it woudl be nice if they would let everyone know
The MSRP is $48874, Paid $40550 (includes dealer fees) + Tax. No trade-in.
Had a hard time finding 2010 with my preferred color as the inventory is very low at most dealers.
Thanks to everyone that contributed to this forum. This helped me a lot in negotiating.
I was looking for a 2010 2WD RX 350 with Premium package and Navigation. (Red exterior and Black interior). None of the dealers in Southern California could find the car. I think I am late in the game for 2010 model. Anyway, I was offered below $1,000 on a 2011 2WD RX350 with all my choices plus lot of extra’s. Here are the codes for the options (CP, EK, FT, NV, PA, PM, TO, WU, 3T,C6, Z1, V4, V2).
The MSRP for the car is $48,633.
Invoice: $43,673
I was offered $42,673 plus TTL.
What you all think? Should I go for it? Please someone answer as I have to let them know tomorrow.

The diff between the invoice & MSRP is around 5K.

I see that a dealer in Texas (where I live) has the 2010 RX350 in the color that I want with the following packages: Comfort, Premium, Nav and Towing Prep. The MSRP is $47,385. What's the price I need to ask for? ( I'd rather not go into the dealership and haggle..). Also, anyone know if there is any good financing on the 2010's?
Any help from the group would be greatly aprpeciated!

The MSRP: - $48,633
Invoice: -$43,673 (I verified with Truecar, Costco, and Edmond – It’s comparable)
Price paid:$ 42,473 (it was cash purchase), so it is about $6,161 off of MRSP.
Tax $3,721 $ title $587 = Total out the door was $46,863
Friends, how did I do?
Based on my experience, a good price for that vehicle is in $39k-$40k. While purchasing my 2010 RX 350, I initially consider a vehicle with configuration similar to yours (MSRP was ~47700) and the dealer was willing to sell it for 39800.
While negotiating for price, I found that lot of dealers that are not willing to come ~8K below MSRP. I ended up buying from J&M Lexus is South Florida, who is 250miles away from where I live.
BTW., I also got financing from Lexus for 2.84% APR, 60 months.
What u say folks, good deal or could do better?. May be could have gotten a aggressive deal but feared would loose what we have.
2) Anybody needs 2010 Rx 450H AWD, zero miles, fully loaded with MSRP of $55k is available for $45K at eskridge lexus at oklahoma. contact josh debolt. it is obsidian black with parchment interior, had a minor hail damage, fixed by dentless paint repair. Folks, forget about the hail, it is all fixed and will be a good deal. We choose to buy 2011 RX 350 since we live in a small city where we have no use for 450H. good luck
talk to alex grant at dave mungenast, he should be able to do that deal.
pls see my original post.Basically if you get $5k off msrp, you did very well for 2011 which is what we got. Eskridge lexus has very good for 2010 RX 450H fully loaded.
good luck
David
Thank you
