Has anyone had experience with Lexus of Tucson? Since they are the only Lexus dealer here I wonder how they treat you service wise. Any help is appreciated.

Can you provide me more details on the dealer and salesperson you dealt with. I leave in austin and so far i received price of 38300 for rx330 with premium package which i think is too much. Looks like you got a great price and would be happy to get rx in that price.

Can I get a "stripped down" one?

Sorry guys, my budget barely allows for a Lexus, but I really want this one. I am selling my 2000 dodge grand caravan sport and want to feel a little more luxury. Can I get a 2005 or 2006 RX330 without a premium package? If it is a "package", then it should be available without a package, otherwise it is really just an inflation to the MSRP disguised as optional. I am willing to order it if I have to. Would it still have leather seats if I don't get the package? I believe the brochure they mailed me indicated the leather seats were standard. I notice on the website when I try to "build" one it always adds a package. While I would love more goodies, I don't really need them and like I said, my budget is really topped out around 30,000, though I know I'd need a little more to get one without a package.  ANy advice??

You can order the RX stripped from the factory. THat is you can order it without the Premium Package from the factory. But there are a few problems with this. 1) it will take 3-04 months to get it. 2) Alot of dealers don't like special ordering cars. Therefore they may not discount it much. In which case it may make sense to get the RX with the Premium package since you may only pay a bit more for it.
Also, instead of stretching your budget, have you thought about getting a Toyota Highlander? It's basically the same vehicle but will cost you less and you can probably buy one for close to Invoice and Toyota probably has a factory to customer rebate also.

Basic "stripped down" Lexus

Yes, you can but only for the 2006 model. You will have to special order it and no extra charge but it will likely take couple of months to get to you. Leather is an option and is not standard. You can get cloth seats if you want. Leather is in a package. I would suggest getting the package if you want good resale on the car as when you sell it, people will expect a Lexus to have basic luxury features. But, if you will keep it forever, then i guess you could go for the basic. Get the FWD and not the AWD as that is cheaper. You will likely have to pay more than 30K.

Thank you very much for the information. $36700 final price right no other dealer charges like advertisement fee etc etc right? I know license fee, sales tax and other things will be extra but want to confirm the dealer price, so that i don't get last minute surprise from the dealer saying no this doesn't include this and that. Appreciate your response. If everything works out i am going to houston next week to close the deal.

Yes that was the price. no surprises. yes the tax and tags were extra, there were some miscellaneuos fees but they were less than 300. since they threw in the all weather matts with the deal and a three day cruise we were happy. The reason we really chose lexus of clearwater was that they were the only ones who admitted there was an issue with the drive by wire transmission, the corporate lexus office denied it, the lexus of tampa deal, the lexus of sarasota denied it. lexus of clearwater quickly admitted it and did the software update. they threw in the cruise for two as well. Lexus can advertise how good there service is, but what is important is that they are honest and anything made by toyota is quality and relibable. That way you should not need to use the service department except for what your "owners manual " states.
We have had the rx for about 6 weeks and have no regrets. we were looking at a 2003 mercedes 320e. mercedes just cannot compare to the reliability of lexus. most of my mercedes owner friends agree with me. yes mercedes owners agree that lexus is more reliable. buy the lexus you cannot go wrong.
