I will be looking for a new RX330 tomorrow by ny941932
Oct 31, 2005 (4:51 pm)
I built a car on lexus.com, they only have 2 options: both are with Premium Plus, one with nav system and the other without.
The configuration that is being often discussed on this site has MSRP of $45,708.
I'm interested in the one without the nav.(MSRP $43,358)
Edmunds is very confusing and doesn't have an easy way to come up with invoice for this configuration. Any idea what the invoice should be for this model?
 
I'm also curious what people think is the best possible price I can get this car for. I'm based in central NJ.
 
thanks.

The Lease Questions board has been mothballed, and there are now individual discussions for leasing each make/model..
 
Rest assured, Car_man is still here to answer all of your leasing questions..

2006 RX330 AWD Savannah Metallic from Lexus of Norwood (Mass) by hobbes4444

2006 RX330 AWD Savannah Metallic from Lexus of Norwood (Mass)
 
  Premium Plus Package
  Heated Front Seats and Rain-Sensing Wipers
  6 Disc In-Dash CD Changer
  18" Alloy Wheels
  Towing Prep Package (I think)
  
Edmunds MSRP $43,200
Edmunds Invoice $37,874
Our price $38,400 (not inlcuding 5% tax, $198 document prep fees, simonize (for all that lovely salt and sand))
 
We had a pretty good experience at Norwood after a less than satisfying experience at Watertown. The day after we signed the contract at Norwood, the other dealer followed up on our first visit. We told them we had a better experience at Norwood and had made a purchase. Watertown then said they could give us the same car for $37,500. We thought that was a little underhanded (especially since they said the best they could do on a similar 2005 was $38,800) and refused to go back on our previous deal (we're guessing they would have padded their costs elsewhere). We should take delivery shortly.

ny941932, I feel your pain, it can be confusing. But here is the Edmunds configuration to get the $43,358 stickered vehicle (I was interested in this one initially, but then decided to get the Nav).
 
National Base Price MSRP $37,770/invoice $33,425
Optional Equipment $4,938/$3,894
   PT Premium Plus Package $2,960/$2,368
   HH Heated Front Seats and Rain-Sensing Wipers $665/$532
   DC 6-Disc In-Dash CD Changer $500/$375
   FT 18" Alloy Wheels $495/$396
   TO Towing Prep Package $160/$128
   Z1 Preferred Accessory Package $158/$95
   Destination Charge $650/$650
Total with Options $43,358/$37,969
 
From this site, it seems people are dealing anywhere between $4000-$4800 off the MSRP, and I have negotiated $4300-$4500 off personally, one at a NJ dealership's NY branch.

Nice deal! And that was great to stand tall, it's not always about the bottom line price.

Well, here you go! I told you guys I'll be buying a car today, and so I did!
 
MSRP $43,358, Premium Plus and other add. features, no nav.
Here is the breakdown:
 
$38,956
+
$199 doc fee
+
$7.5 NJ Tire Tax
+
$25 transfer of old plates
+
$2,337.36 Sales Tax 6%
=
$41,524.86 Out the door! Coming home this Thursday!
 
Dealer's invoice was actually around 38,400, not 37,969.
 
Sounds like a sweet deal to me. It was the most painless and therefore the most pleasant expereince I've ever had with buying a new car. In and out within an hour, including a test drive. Initial negotiations started at around 2500 off the sticker px, fyi.

I would like to thank people on this board for being so responsive!
Thank you.
