Yes, not nav or DVD. Someone in FL quoted me $37,350 for a 2006 with premium package.

Sounds like the sticker on that vehicle is 41,540, is that right? If so, Edmunds has the invoice at 36,571. So I think 37,350 sounds like a good deal.

So I went into the dealership this weekend to price the vehicle. It seems Edmunds's invoice pricing and the dealer's invoice pricing is slightly off. I did not see the actual dealer invoice pricing, partly because I already had specific dollar offers from other dealers, and when my sales person came back with less than a couple hundred dollars above my best offer, I was content with that, since this sales person and dealership did all the work. So I am not sure whether higher dealer invoice price is because of the advertising fee, and I don't know for sure how much the advertising fee actually is, but like I said, after it was all said and done, I was not going to bicker about the extra couple hundred. But I still feel as though I did not "pay" the advertising fee. Silly, I know. Hahhahaa!

So what did you pay? What was the msrp and actual price you paid? If you bought in Texas what was your total drive out price including tt&l.

I am paying $43K for the $47,548 vehicle (2006 RX330 AWD, Nav and RSES packages included). I think it is similar to the deal (although not quite as good) the member above who paid $43,300 for this equipment, but plus the Mark Levinson option. I think the main difference is that my vehicle is not on the dealer's lot, and instead will have to be located and brought into inventory, while that member's vehicle was on the dealer's lot (but I commend his/her nice negotiating as well). So that accounts for the extra couple hundred in my rough estimation. I am on the Northeast, so I apologize I cannot give you more assistance.

69shelby1, it seems you did well. $4K off the sticker is good. Although it seems some people are getting the same deal for the 2006 model a month later. But who cares, in the end, you got what you wanted at a good price, so don't feel bad and enjoy your new vehicle!

advertising and other costs passed on to the customer

Last week I began shopping for an RX for my wife. She will take her time and decide what options are best for her. If she does not go for the NAV/Levinson package then she will accept the Premium Plus with a usual package found in our area that MSRP’s for $43256.00. From Edmunds pricing this vehicle cost the dealer $38041.00. Without me saying I will buy this car today for $______, the best this dealer is offering is $1500.00 over invoice. Then they add $590.00 for advertising, $299.00 for processing papers, a $90.00 messenger fee, and another $20.00 for miscellaneous paperwork???????? That is an additional $999.00 for what? The Lexus advertising cost may not be avoided, been there with 3 new Toyota’s the past 2 years. If this extra ($409.00) over the advertising costs is usual for a Lexus dealer, I now will be looking for a RX at invoice, and no more than $500.00 over.

I hope this helps. I am in Texas and purchased my wife a 2006 Rx330 with premium package last Friday, MSRP $41,143. I settled on a price of $39500 over the internet. When I bought the car they itemized the invoice at $36950 for the car, $2310 for tax(6.25), and $240 for other items such as doc fees, title, and license. The Edmunds invoice is $36100, so I figure Edmunds plus $440 for advertising(Texas), and about $400 above invoice is what I paid. I maybe wrong but I think I got a good deal on the 2006 model plus it is a Japan made car.
