Current XM installs??? by 10scoachrick
Jan 20, 2006 (8:50 pm)
Well, we pulled the trigger on a whiteRX, Premium with 18" wheels, rain sensor, towing prep,cargo mat and wheel locks for $36,700+taxes. New Nalley dealership in Atlanta looks like you could eat off the floor!
 
Question is...do we go with the dealer install for XM? Most of the info I've found pertains to other-than-dealer installed or even DIY setups. Dealer installs a tuner inside the sunglass holder or low on console with a remote changer thingy. Is this the way to go for $695 or can a non-techy person find a better set-up? Thanks for any tips!

Mark Levinson Sound System by mbgolden

Local dealer in Va. Beach, Va says RX 330's with the Mark Levinson sound system are hard to come by, none in stock and none expected. Anyone have locations that have them?

You need to talk with your dealer about trying to locate one. Yes they are very hard to find and unless a dealer specs a Levenson out for their inventory, the other option is to factory order. With the soon to be released RX350 this spring, it may not be possible to order a 330 with this option, just a guess.
 
My wife factory ordered with the Navigation/Levinson package in early November, car was deliverd to the port early December and had some electrical problems and was declared a 'Dead Car' by Lexus. My dealer did a search and found our exact package at a VA. dealership, had it trucked up for a Dec. 23rd delivery.
 
Mark Levinson is an outstanding sound system, worth the extra cost.
 
good luck......

Hi,
I live in Chandler, AZ. I just bought a 2006 Lexus RX330 with Nav/rear view camera, 18" chrome wheels for $40,397 + TTL. I got it for $44.5k out the door. I worked with the internet sales guy from Chandler Lexus. This is a new dealership, been open for about 3 months now. Im just wondering if you think I got a good deal. I'm probably gonna buy a GS or IS in Dec. 2006.
I hope my price is helpful to others viewing.

RX330 purchase in July/Aug; cheaper than now? by forthill
Jan 24, 2006 (6:53 pm)
I have an ES330 that I'm leasing and very happy with. I also have a 1999 Mercedes ML320 (SUV) that I want to sell (maybe even trade in) and purchase a new 2006 RX330.
I want to wait until July/August this year (for no particular reason).
I want to wait to the very end of the month as I am hoping the dealer might want to move remaining cars off his lot before the close of the month. He might be more willing to 'deal' with me if I go in a day or two before the end of the month and tell him I'll buy right then and there.
 
I have no intentions of getting a specific package or color, I'm very flexible and basically could be easily convinced to take any RX330 on the lot.
 
Actually the only thing I want is leather and a CD player...that's it. Don't care about interior or exterior color.
 
Question:
I can look now in Edmunds and see what the general prices are in my zip code area of 10523. I am hoping that as I'll look to buy in August that the price I might be able to get might be a bit lower as a half year would have gone by.
Now my logic might be flawed and I'm looking for people's opinions but if I walked into a dealer on December 31st I would hope that the cost of the 2006 card would be less than if I walked in on January 1st of this year (even though the MSRP from Lexus is fixed on the window sticker).
 
AM I wrong, or hoping beyond hope, in thinking this way? I know, I would need to convince the salesman that a half a year has gone by and I should be getting a lower priced car.
 
Any thoughts on this and ultimate suggestions for me are greatly appreciated. I hate to have to try and sell my old ML320 by myself too and am willing to see what the dealer would give me as far as a trade-in (I'm sure it will not be much though).
 
Thanks!

Is this a good price? by chikoo
Jan 24, 2006 (9:24 pm)
for a 1999 RX-300, 50,000 miles, single owner. Has sunroof, rack, cd-changer, leather seats.
  
Dealer has given a take-it or leave it price of $16,900.
  
Couple of paint chips near the front grill. few paint chips on the front and rear bumper which the dealer will take care of. and of course the 'D' light bulb has blown (that he is not gong to replace)
  
Interior is exceptionally clean. It feels like no-one has sat in the car. Dealer says an old man owned the car, who brought and serviced it meticulously at the same dealer and now traded it in for a new lexus. Dealer even showed me the complete serice history from the Lexus service database.
  
I drove the car around the dealers lot in the dead of the night at 9:30pm and could not find one single unusual noise coming from anywhere in the vehicle.
  
Is this OK? Should I go for it?
 
I somewhow like the dealer and trust him because he refused to sell 2 other RX-300s on his lot since they were not without some "mechanical" issues. He indicated that he will sell them to local "ace imports and the like" but not to an individual person because he does not want a disgruntled customer. and by the way, this dealer is the worlds #1 Lexus dealer.

Good Price? by ncaldriver
Jan 25, 2006 (2:49 pm)
I'm about to purchase a 2004 RX330 with:
 
Navigation
Rear DVD Entertainment System
AWD
Heated Seats
Premium Plus package
 
It has 32,000 miles on it. I have gotten them to lower the price down to $32k. This is not from a Lexus dealer, so the warranty is only to the manufacturer's.
 
Is this a good deal?

CAN ANYONE RECOMMEND A SOCAL DEALER THAT SELLS $1000-$1800 BELOW INVOICE? by sabiob
Jan 26, 2006 (1:29 am)
I am in the market to buy a fully loaded '06 RX330 2WD in the coming week. I wanted to know if anyone is using a Southern California Lexus Dealer that has before or is currently selling you an RX for $1,000 to $1,800 below invoice pricing? I have been reading on other blogs that the SoCal dealers may be more flexible because the new RX350 (larger engine) is debuting in April '06. Let me know who you used and with what dealers. Thanks for everyones great advice.

I just read the rules for this blog and realized we cannot use salesperson names. Also I read in several places that the very competitive dealers have been selling the RX's for $1,000 or more below invoice and that it is not so uncommon to be able to get such a deal.
