Any insights would be much appreciated.
I am completely new to this forum and went through few threads/discussions about RX 350 as I was in the market for the same. I just pulled the trigger on RX 350 (Pre owned and certified) that has 14k miles. It has all belts and whistles (premium pkg, cold weather, navi etc..). I paid around 38k+tax+title and fees. OTD price was 41K. I am in MA.
Is this a good deal..?
Any response would be appreciated,

As most experienced car buyers always say, when determining your price, you need to factor in invoice price, holdbacks, all current dealer incentives, etc.
Then you tell the dealer your price.
And most of all, be in control of the process and don't believe anything the sales rep says.
Most of the info you need can be found on edmunds.com.
End of month is always to the buyers advantage.

His posting title :
'#5729 of 5734 RX 350 2013 (Fully Loaded)........'
But, he didn't specify AWD or not, or,the original MSRP when new, which of course the dealer has in his file, or can obtain for him to look at. Also, be good to know what the dealer is "showing" as the DOC fees?
What is someone trying to gain by saying otherwise.
Dealers don't want you to know the truth and they hate educated buyers.
Doc fees are another tactic by dealers to pad profits.
Being agressive and you can push back on Doc fees.
If someone tells you that you must pay a doc fee, they must be a dealer or paid by dealers to confuse the buyer.

The one that I got is 2013 model.
11% off your sticker price = $5775
Not a bad deal.... but you left some money on the table.
Enjoy your new SUV

Am buying two cars for my family. FYI I did get a RX 350 2013 one year ago fully loaded - minus blind spot - for 44k and it was TOTALED. Damage was substantial but I was okay, which shows you these are great via safety. So now I can get a 2013 AWD RX for 43.5k (fully loaded) this time around and a new 2014 AWD IS 250 (fully loaded) for 42.5k. Thoughts? BTW these prices are before tax and any extra warranty add-ons.
I am kind of thinking they should go lower on the 2013 RX since the new 2014s will be coming out, but wanted to see your opinions on this...Don't know too much about the IS as it has just been updated but the test drive went well.
Your Lexus truck is a great Riding well made truck if you dont mind dropping 46k on it. And you are correct if you negotiate at the end of the month you should come close to 15% off sticker. Always negotiate those high doc fee charges or add them onto your asking price to buy if dealership wont remove..

What is 10% off a MSRP of 52,500? = $ 5,250
I'll let you figure the rest out?

He said that he paid 89.52% of the MSRP, thereby getting a 10.48% discount. His math is correct to the hundredths.
Perhaps he should comment on how well you did in English at school?
"I see you weren't to good in math at school"
I'll let you figure that one out.
Stick to giving people purchasing advice please. No need to be uncivil on these great forums.

My apologies to that poster. I Misread. I could not figure out how he was getting that number... I took the Of for Off MSRP plus he reversed his wording instead of saying i got 10.48 % off the msrp..........

The 2013 IS which is very pricey.. the reviews outside of quiet interior and complaint ride are not to good for a car with this kind of price tag.
The 2014 reviews seem better but the IS, v-6 has lack luster power and bad fuel economy, terrible head room.
Edmunds has a full review on the Redesigned 2014 IS Model. You can make your own judgments on it.
If i was spending 42k it certainly would not be on this car. There are so many better choices for less.

Residual: 66%
Total Money Down: $2,000 (includes first month, transfer tag, etc)
Lexus Incentive: $1,750
27 Months, 10k Miles: $435 month tax incl.
Thank you.
Great deal.
How much should I expect as depreciation if we have to sell this car in a year if I get to buy at the above price instead of leasing assuming I wont put more than 8k miles in a year.
I am not sure how to calculate a 1yr depreciation other than looking at kbb and other sources for a one year old, similar car, average miles... same thing i do when thinking about the residual value.. i look for 3 year old cars,
MSRP=46921, Sale Price=40166 (41916-1750), Res=66%, MF=0.00070, 27 months, 10k miles, $2000 drive-off
14.39% off MSRP, Lease= $435/month (390+45tax)
Are these numbers correct?
Invoice should be around $43800. You got it around 2k below Invoice and then got 1750 on top. Wow! Congrats again.
pm me your info.
Are you able to pm me?
Thanks
How much should one pay for that?
There is also something called "Pre-Collision System with Pre-Collision Braking and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control".
Model year 2013 - new RX-350 from unsold 2013 inventory
Premium package with Blind Spot $2760 per Lexus website
Navigation package $2775 per Lexus website
Heated/ventilated front seats $640
Park Assist $500
Total offered by dealer to me $41,975 (includes all rebates) - Does not include TTL and registration fees. Not sure whether this includes destination fees.
The total offered by dealer to me was $41,975 (includes all rebates) - Does not include TTL and registration fees. I do not think this includes destination fees. I think California limits doc fees to $80 from what I see on the web. Is there anything else that I should watch out for?
Thanks for asking the question as it has got me thinking and will make me more careful.
The following are selling prices.
With Nav *Selling Price*: $44,549 MSRP: $49,930
Without Nav *Selling Price*: $42,134 MSRP: $46,815
I see some cashback if I finance with Lexus. I assume that isn't included in the pricing.
Is there some other line item the dealer can tack on to make up for the discounted price? What are the legitimate fees the dealer can add and how much should they total up to? Sales tax is 8.75% in my county.
RX350 + Display Audio package+Premium Package+heated/ventilated seats + other installed options MSRP 47300 + Lojack 795 = Total 48095
Sale price = 41000 (after 1750 rebate) + Drive off taxes etc + 700 bank fee
My deal is $476 including taxes in SoCal for 27 months, 66% residual and 10k miles. I paid total ~$980 including everything. $980 I paid went towards the $1000 security deposit (refundable at lease end) and it almost halved my MF from the Top tier@Lexus which was 0.00035
Rex Urasaki @ Tustin Lexus is the man. Very honest & straightforward. Highly recommended.
