I am also looking for 2010 AWD w/o navi.
I assume you car has more than premium pkg, right? Could you elaborate more please?
Could you tell me which dealer you had used?
Most Lexus dealers in NJ I've dealt were very cocky.
Thanks in advance.

Nobody wants to buy a Lexus anymore. Overpirce & under quality.
Their quality & design suck.
I own a GS which has too many recalls. They can't even fix the brake squealing noise.
AM I BEING HAD? I feel like I am, but I'd prefer to think that I'm not.... (female in my early 30s, walking into the dealership by myself) My coworker got the similar vehicle (the same color, same option) from this dealership with 10k miles more than the one that I want for about $25k. 2008 RX350 AWD w/ Navi. So I'm hoping for around the ballpark...
btw, this is the lexus dealership around the North NJ area. I was so pissed, I walked out and told them that if it weren't this RX350 there would be another one given that this is such a popular car. It's just a basic supply and demand... and for now, the supply for used car seems to exceed the demands. Nobody will buy a used RX350 if the new 2011 or 2010 is being given away, am I right?
The ones that I'm looking at is the 2008 w/ Navi. Carfax doesn't show any records on the car passed the time when the car was delivered to the buyer. I've been asking for the service records and they've been holding back.... :mad: Does anybody know why carfax doesn't show anything?
Any advises will be appreciated. If you guys can give me the "going rate" for the 2008 RX350 AWD w/ Navi. Does color drive prices up/down too?
TIA
thx
There are 3 competing dealerships in the area: Prestige Lexus, Tri-county Lexus, Lexus of Englewood. I walked in 2 dealerships out of 3 by myself. One of them had the audacity to tell me "politely" to come back with my husband. I wish I could slap them silly right there and then....
What bothers me most is that carfax doesn't show any records beyond the 25th mile (which is probably the time when the car was sold) and asking for a service record is like pulling teeth with them. If the car has been into accidents, there is no way for me to find out about it then?
Thanks again for your help.
Which dealers that you went to? Given by your nickname, it sounds like you live in the Totowa area which means that the first dealer that you went was probably Tri-county Lexus. I went there and the Prestige Lexus. I didn't go to Lexus of Englewood but went to Warnock Lexus (by Parsippany area). It seems that Warnock had the best prices for brand new lexus. And their sales people are more motivated than Prestige and Tri-county. Last I checked (few weeks back), their leftovers were 2010 w/o Navi.
I have since changed my mind and decided to buy a used one....
* Navigation System
* Comfort Package
* Premium Package
* 19" Aluminum Alloy Wheels w/All Season Tires
* 12-Speaker Premium Audio System
* Intuitive Parking Assist
* Towing Prep Package
* Wood and Leather-trimmed Steering Wheel and Shift Knob
* Cross Bars
* Accessory Package
MSRP $48,004
Selling Price $43,289 (a bit above invoice; however a little below our calculated Edmunds $44,849 TMV)
36mth/12k miles yr lease
Lease fees $700 (I knew it would be there so negotiated it out with lower selling price)
59% Res, .0017 M/F
$0.00 out the door
Monthly Payment (with FL 7% tx) $597.19 ($13.10 more than our 2008 RX350 lease that was turned in with only 25k miles on it) .
Not the best deal I've ever done; however we wanted a white RX350, and they were moving them fast.
The dealers Finance Director showed me Lexus Dec Lease rates when I said to everyone that I've read DTR (Dec 2 remember) rate of .00155 was being quoted on the web. I guess the .00155 M/F was a special in some areas.
Check out BOA website before negotiating with Lexus.
They also matched my bank's financing rate.
it is not odd at all.. Car price are driven by supply and demand.. In some area a particular option may be very popular (e.g. AWD in NE) and dealer can charge a much higher price that the car without the same option.. Hence the price difference...
The only Lexus dealership in North Jersey that has been descent to us (compares to the others in the area) is Warnock Lexus in Parsippany/Whippany area. Straight to the point, no haggling type of BS. Avoid Prestige Lexus unless you can speak directly to the Sales Manager who was more descent than those reporting to him, and certainly avoid Tricounty Lexus at all cost. Aside from the fact of their jerking around, a friend of mine purchased 2 CPOs from tricounty lexus and it was a nightmare. The sales people put down that they would fix all the dents/scratches on the car upon delivery in the purchase contract. When my friend picked up the car, not only it wasn't preped .... The sales manager screamed the heck out of the sales person in front of my friend to the point that it was embarassing for all parties to be around. Why would an employer put their employees' dignity at a cross line in public, especially during a professional business transaction is certainly beyond me. This just goes to show the type of PROFESSIONALISM that this dealership shows.
I hope that I've saved whomever reading this post some time and set his/her expectation over these North NJ Lexus dealerships.
If you want us to call Eric, at least give us a sense of what the deal looks like? It almost sound like a mid-night TV commercial.. buy, buy, buy.. but no discussion of buying what?
You might want to check at edmunds and KBB (Kelleys blue book) websites on dealers inventory to check if they have the type of vehicle they want.
One thing I found very frustating when buying Lexus in that there is no convenient way to find dealer inventory. However edmunds and KBB can help some. Try taking to multipl dealers, and do no go by information from just one dealer.
The dealer I brought my Lexus from was JM lexus in Florida. They claim to be the largest Lexus dealer in world and they do have a huge selection. They also have separate website that lists their inventory ... http://www.jmnewcars.com/
I had a very positive experience with this dealer and even if you are out side Florida you could check their website to see want type of vehicles are available and hopefull find the vehicle u like at a dealership near you.
All the best.
Thanks for the head up.. I will try Coliseum...

I appreciate it.
Did you get that price through Edmunds? Would you share your contact points we can get similar deals? My biggest question is did you get your vehicle delivered? How much?
Thanks in advance.
I spoke to a Sales person, she says they can give better deal if we are there in person to the store.
Thanks!.
Any info will be appreciated about the transport. Thanks.
pleas reply imme if possible
She insisted me that they can do better pricing if we walk into the store.
I don't know how far is this true?.
I just tested drive a 2011 RX350 AWD today. Found out the VIN number starts with a "2", which means it is made in Canada. Anyone has any comment between the Canadian made and Japanese made RX350? I'm in SF Bay Area, do the dealers here not import RX from Japan anymore?
Thanks.
The revised offer they gave me today was $38,790 for MSRP $44,825.
For transport I checked in a Transportation company for Sharon, MA to NY it costs $350 for open Truck and $650 for closed container.
