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

Ray Catena Lexus by footwood
Dec 31, 2005 (7:18 am)
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!

I agree with tazimi. I started to sell my cars myself about 20 years ago. ( We only buy Toyota and/or Honda cars.)
 
I get the care detailed, add some extra polish, and then set my price for 3/4 of the high blue book. And I will not accept any link titlelink title

You are very welcome footwood, very pleased that I and others were of some help to you.
 
In the past 4 years I have used Edmund's forums to purchase two Toyota 4Runners (02 & 04), a 03 Toyota Avalon, a 05 Toyota Solara convertible and last week a 06 RX. The opinions and information by buyers and owners presented here is priceless.
 
My wife really likes or in her words, loves her RX. She had her Avalon a little over 3 years and liked it but said it did not have the versatility and extra ammenities of the RX330. Not a bad Christmas gift, not sure how to top it next year??
 
So to footwood, newmowner and all the others on this forum ...... have a very Happy New Year and enjoy your new RX 330's.

What is "A December to Remember"? by jjun1971
Dec 31, 2005 (8:39 pm)
Can anyone explain if this is a quantifiable promotion? Does it only go through December, which the last day would be today, or 1/3/06? I ask because I was given a quote from a dealer in L.A. for a 2WD, premium package + nav for $39,082 (MSRP $44,193), but would be $2000 more the next day! Is this because of the sales promotion or a sales tactic?

I have a story to tell. I had an appt with Ray Catena. I had called again not saying who I was and found out they did not have the blk on blk with leather, nav, tow pckge in stock. Having to go to Leslie's Pool in Long Island to go buy some stuff I saw that there was a Lexus Dealership 2 miles ahead ( which I had emailed via edmunds to inquire on a price quote last night ) They replied saying they had one in stock in another location. I canceled my appt with Ray and decided to stop by to talk...25 minutes later I shook on a deal for 40250 + tax. They took my trade in for 12k I put another 8K down and I'm financing 23K. I'm glad with the purchase,and sales team. The internet Sales Manager was straight forward and gave me the best price I heard within the first 15 min. Maybe I could have bargained somewhere else for a few hundred less but didn't want to wait 'till the end of Jan to receive the RX. On tuesday I pick up my RX. Good luck to all and Happy Riding.

That was a great story.
Can you let us know whether your RX was a AWD or not and it cam with what all options.
HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR
