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.

Replying to: newmowner (Nov 01, 2005 10:31 am) 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. Ray Catena in Oakhurst, NJ (near Eatontown.) I would like to thank people on this board for being so responsive! Thank you.

Replying to: losfelizca (Nov 01, 2005 6:24 pm) I agree with newmowner's comment and ask the same: how did you do that? Maybe our host can offer an explanation of how this once very popular vehicle may now be selling for almost $600.00 under invoice? Just a few ideas: > Over supply. > Americans do not want to buy Canadian. (prefer Japanese RX's) > Hidden incentive to Lexus dealers. > Automotive sales slowing down, dealers dumping inventory. > The dealer really likes you. > Everyone is reading Edmunds and asking the dealer - can you beat this price. losfelizca, please share you buying experience. How long have you been shopping, did this dealer beat another's best price, was this an easy purchase for you? Maybe other folks have been able to get deals like this, sure hope I can. thank you for your posting.

Replying to: newmowner (Nov 01, 2005 7:05 pm) Second, I targeted one dealership that I thought would most likely make an end of the month deal. (Large inventory & larger new building that will predictably need an even larger mfg allocation in the future) Then on Sunday Oct 24 I made an offer with the target dealer departing the dealership immediately instructing them to call me if and when the mgmt / owners approved (that number was $42.5k out the door). During the week I called all other area Fleet mgrs again looking for 05 models but making sure to mention that the large dealer was offering an 06 at $42.5k (two dealers said that they would better that price it and one said it would match it). When the original dealer called me on Saturday Oct 29 I told them about the other dealers offer to beat the 42.5k offer. They then called me back on Sunday offering the $42k out the door. |
