| I am interested in buying a 2005 awd Lexus RX330. I live in Connecticut. Can anyone tell me what their buying experience has been with the dealers in CT and how much over invoice I should expect to pay? I usually only pay $100-$200 over invoice when I buy cars but this will be my first "luxury" suv so I am not sure if this amount is unrealistic or not. Also, has anyone specifically dealt with Hoffman Lexus in East Hartford. That is the closest dealer to me. Thanks a bunch. | |
 I swear I read somewhere that Lexus was planning a complete re-do of the RX for 2006, but I can't find the information anywhere! My in-laws are looking to buy one and I'm trying to help them avoid the dreaded depreciation that goes with a body change. Lexus is tight-lipped, saying that there is no change for next year. Anyone else hear this or was I dreaming??

Replying to: microbrwr (Apr 30, 2005 9:19 am) You may see some slight changes next year, such as front and rear nip & tucks, some feature upgrades, and maybe a new engine. The RX330 may become the RX350 for 2006. |

Replying to: awjenni (Jun 24, 2003 6:30 pm) My question for the groups is this: After I negotiated what I thought was a killer deal, the finance guy convinced me to purchase additional wear & tear insurance. It cost me about 19 / month, which translates to roughly $720 over the 36 month lease. His rationale was that Lexus Financial will hit me up for every scratch, ding and stain possible and that the insurance will cover me up to $5000. Has anyone else come across this? If so, did you buy the insurance? The only other lease I had was through Chase and they gave me an allowance built into the payment. I appreciate all feedback. Jeremy

Replying to: jstempel (Jun 24, 2003 2:31 pm) 18"Wheels,HID lights,6-CD,Acc. Pkg.). I am getting a quote for 40,100. Is this a good deal? The whole invoice price is very confusing as different dealers are showing different invoice price for similarly equipped vehicle.Anyone with a better deal recently. |

Hi Officej Can you please tell us what was the MSRP of your Rx? Thankyou Krystal |

I have been reading these boards and other forums and noticing that most of the action is with the RX400H (main concern appears to be with the lower MPG than anticipated for those still in the break-in period, though most seem very happy with the performance). I have to admit feeling twinges of regret that I did not buy the RX400h, but the technology is still too new for my comfort. I will stay focused on the luxury of driving the RX330. I finally went with the Thundercloud Limited Edition 2005 AWD RX330. It is scheduled to arrive by this Friday (probably). It took so long that I suppose the prices might have fallen. But I got the deal I quoted in a previous message. Purchase price: $41,800 (including $400 for transport from CA. to NY). It comes with the Premium (Plus?) package, NAV with rear view camera, Mark Lev sound system, heated front seats, HID, Towing Prep. A Long Island person said he could match the price, but I had dealt with the Ca. dealership (Lexus of Glendale) Internet Sales Manager for a period of time and he had been consistently fair and professional in his services. (I even got a cargo net installed (free) in this deal). By the way, I was referred to this dealership by Fleetrates and the owner there also set up a good deal. He really seemed interested in working out a good deal for the customer as much as he could. I recommend both services highly. I just hope th SUV will get here in good condition. I will find out soon. Can't wait! I will post back on the results (esp. with the cross-country trek).

| I am living in Houston, and want to buy a RX 330 or Acura MDX w/Nav. I have gotten a quota of RX 330 from internet salesman for $40,000. Could I get it down a little more? Thanks for anybody's comments about it. The sales person also said the Nav system and premium plus package are manufacture installed, and cannot be separated? Is it possible to buy a car with Nav, but no premium plus? I also want to get recommendations for dealers or sales persons. Thanks in advance. | |
