tonite's experience by five0_4tluv
Dec 30, 2005 (4:37 pm)
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

Sell the car yourself...they will not give you what the car is worth. Auto trader or any of the auto publications you have in your region will get you more money. Don't even bother with the trade-in. You're almost home!!!

footwood,
 
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??

wallybird...I think $485 for doc fee is quite high...I believe my doc fee was $55 and and additional $25 for filing online (which I think is crap, but oh well). I thought there were laws that capped doc fees...I might have misread, but I'll search for it...

PLEASE! Need pricing help on a RX330 in OK by eyecansee
Dec 30, 2005 (9:03 pm)
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...

footwood, good job on sticking to your guns. one thing to consider is the hassle that you may go through trying to sell the car privately. also, when you trade in you are reducing the total cost of the new car therefor paying less tax. I'm in the same situation with trading in my 02 toyota rav 4 with 42k miles and grill gaurds all around. i'm being offered 12k for it bbv is around 14k. i'm going to new rochelle today for a test drive so wish me luck.

Reading current thread on RX 330. Are your pricing discussions for a 2006 or a year-end 2005? Does cash make any difference anymore?

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

Footwood...Congrats man...that's the same way I felt during my purchase...confidence. When you do the hard work of researching it all pays off in the end. Great job on the financing also. You and your wife will enjoy the car...I find myself just wanting to drive everyday...lol...already put 150 miles on it in 2 days...
 
Just making sure....they gave you 4.85% over 60 months like the Costco financing right...they didn't try and milk you for extra months?
 
Have a Happy and Safe New Year everyone!
