Replying to: highlander7 (Nov 01, 2005 7:38 pm) -This RX330 is a Japanese make (is that good?) -I always assumed that the dealer was getting a mfg rebates and now with the price that I was given I am convinced that this is true. -Yes the dealers and I did get along very well. -This was an easy purchase but it required effort, timing, and luck. One question to those in the know... Did I screw up in not getting the Mark Levinson sound? The FM sound quality is not up to my other car. I have not played a CD yet... |

Replying to: losfelizca (Nov 01, 2005 10:14 pm) Great plan and excellent execution. But is there any way to confirm for the rest of us that there is or is not a mfg rebate on the 2006 RX, maybe with your sales person? I am sure s/he is more than willing to tell you now. By the way, there seems to be very few Japanese make RXs out there for 2006, and I think it is great if you got one. The ones I have been shopping are all Canadian make.

Replying to: losfelizca (Nov 01, 2005 10:14 pm) Both dealerships that I have visited have been very easy to work with, they just want to sell me a car. You really did your homework and it has paid off, and like you said, timing and luck may have played a part. I do have plenty of time so if offered a price anywhere near yours, they will get my deposit. The Mark Levinson sound system is outstanding just not sure of availability in the RX. My dealer also advised that the Naviation System / Mark Levinson package is not available at this time, I have no other data (from other dealerships) to confirm this. They probably want to sell what they have in inventory rather then special order. I would prefer the Levinson if available but my wife said she is satisfied with the stock Pioneer system. The sound does improve with a CD but it is not up to the standards of even the JBL upgrades system offered in the Toyota Highlander.(again just my opinion). Why do they do this???? People are spending mid-40's for a vehicle, and like you, may want the choice of a better sound system. Appreciate your reply, good luck with your RX.

Replying to: highlander7 (Nov 02, 2005 8:35 am) Thanks for all of your feedback! My RX330 is a FWD Not sure about how many Japan made vehicles ended up on Los Angeles area lots but I did locate a large supply of RX330's with the Navigation System / Mark Levinson package.

Replying to: losfelizca (Nov 01, 2005 6:24 pm) That was really the best deal I have ever heard, fantastic job!! Coincidently I'm also living in LA area and shopping around for the exact same configuration as yours. So would you mind telling us the dealer and city you worked with? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!!

Replying to: losfelizca (Nov 02, 2005 9:53 pm) You are very welcome. I too would like to hear some feedback on this forum from others on the quality of the standard Pioneer sound system vs. the Levinson. I have listened to both and given a choice would prefer the Levinson. My sales consultant said that in 7 years he has not seen, other than in a RX400H from Japan, a RX330 with the Mark Levinson system at this dealership. Perhaps they are being sent from Japan or the SoCal dealers are preferencing them because of a demand. My wife and I visited our local Lexus dealership to make her final decision on color and interior trim. She chose Crystal White with Ivory Leather in AWD. MSRP's for $45708., includes the navigation package. We will be purchasing end of this month so I have plenty of time to e-mail and fax requests to four dealers and wait for best offers. If I am offered a price like yours, I will buy immediately. Anyone hear about hidden incentives to the dealers? |
