I just left from a very disturbing VIP sales appointment at this dealership. The had a White Lexus RX300 MSRP of 43450. I did the calculation and offered a price of 38000 they said they would not sell at below invoice which was 38490. I am waiting to here if they would accept this is via cell phone now after i left the dealership. The thing that annoys me is they are now low balling me on my trade in offering me 1500 for a mazada 626 with a blue book of 3400. they said thats what the wholesaler will give to them and said they will not budge. I am now caught between buying the car for a good price. but getting next to nothing for the trade. I told them to take the trade off the table. and I am waiting to see if they stick to the invoice price of the car. Any ideas what to do with the trade? They basically don't want it. saying they make no profit on it they since they have no used car lot and just give it to the wholesaler. What to do? what to do? |

| we arrived at the dealer around 4:30 and out by 5:00. getting the price we want on the car MSRP 41188, sell for 36500 (88.3%), but they are low balling the trade. 7k for our Jeep GC that Car Max offered 10k for this morning. so do we eat the $625 tax savings? we will see if they will call tomorrow. they also begged for us to come in because they were 75 cars below quota.... | |

Alright basically settled on a price of 100 above the invoice of 38468 for a White RX330 MSRP 43450. basically 88.7% they said I could take the trade off the table and sell it myself or take the 1500. Now I just have to go thru the finance guy and I am home free. I will have my check ready for my finance portion if necessary Lexus fiance may be less so I will see |

Replying to: footwood (Dec 30, 2005 5:08 pm) Very good deal, you obviously are satisfied with this price and should be. Almost $5K off a $43459 MSRP ... not bad! A trade always confuses the deal, you usually can sell on your own for more than the dealer will offer. $1500.00 on a trade will save you another $90.00 in tax and you will be done. Your old car is always worth more to you than what a dealer will offer, they always have the upper hand on trade-ins. Now to deal with the finance guy and consider all those extra's??

Hi, I'm thinking about purchasing a "base" Rx330 w/premium pkg, 18" wheels, htd seats...MSRP is $41,188... This is going to be a "company" purchase, where we will fortunately be able to cut a check for the full amount...and we want to do it this year, Yes, it's dec 30 today.... Hoping you guys could give me an opinion on what type of pricing I might be able to leverage being the last day of the year and bring cash to the table...any help is greatly appreciated! Hopefully it will be a december to remember....we're in OK by the way...

Just talked to my Sales Rep. Lexus Financing is giving me a rate of 4.85% APR They also do no after market selling or hard press. I just gave them the amount to put down and there is no hard sell. Easternshore The pricing we are talking about is for the 06 lexus RX330. If you can go thru COSTCO.Com, if you have a membership, to get your auto quotes. They have special pricing, my starting point for negotiations was 500 over invoice price, of course you can get them down lower but its nice to get a good price to start. Ray Catena has a 3 person sales team dedicated to COSTCO members. Just a FYI. Good luck on your buying experience. and Special thanks to Highlander7, Armondo and Tazimi plus everyone else on this board it really helped me negotiate with confidence and get a good deal. I will post particulars later today after I pick up my wife's  new lexus
