Replying to: eeng168 (Oct 21, 2006 9:17 pm) I hope this information can help you. My wife and I recently purchased a millenium silver Lexus RX350 (grey interior) with navigation, premium plus package, 18" alloy wheels, heated seats/rain sensor wipers, towing option, cargo mat, wheel locks and all weather floor mats for $40,749 (including destination charge, $715). Add to this 7% NJ state sales tax, NJ tire tax (7.50), documentary fees (199.00) and title fee/4-year registration fee (331.00). Grand total approximately $44,139. The MSRP was $45,706, so we were happy to have negotiated for a price ($40,749)almost 5K below MSRP. The deal was done over phone on Friday, October 13, and the car was ready as promised the following week; we picked it up on Saturday, Oct 21st. The dealership is Ray Catena Lexus in Oakhurst, NJ. They are a non-nonsense dealer and highly professional. I recommend them for getting a very good deal. Good luck with your car shopping.

Hi, I negotiated a price on a 2007 RX350 with NAV etc for $40250. MSRP is $45705. I then had the salesman figure out the lease cost based on 36 months, 12,000 miles, no $ down (aside from taxes, 1st month, motor vehicle fees etc). He based this on a factor of .00163 and 57% residual. The number he came up with was $551.18 a month. I tried myself with the numbers a few times and I could not figure out how he came up with this. Any help would be appreciated as I am ready to make this deal. Thanks so much Another option is wait until end of Nov for December to Remember lease deals? Thanks for your help

Questions for those of you who bought RX350 in So. Cal (in particular, at Longo Lexus and Mission Viejo): 1. The price quoted to you by the dealer (and that you mentioned in this forum) - does it include the destination charge or does the dealer add it later, when calculating the OTD price? 2. The documentation fee of $199 seems rather high for simple paperwork. Did you just accept it or negotiate too? Did they add the Lexus Advertising Fee as well? 3. Were the all-season mats, cargo mat always included in the quoted config or did the dealer add those later, for a separate fee? 4. Has anyone here gotten a delivery of RX350 to a different state from So.Cal? How much did you pay for that? I bought an RX300 from Longo Lexus in 1999 for $1200 over invoice and paid extra ~$400 for the delivery to my door (in WA). Thanks.

Replying to: sender1 (Oct 26, 2006 6:35 am) Based on the numbers you gave me, I came up with a payment of $502.46. However, that does not include TTL or acquisition fees. Assuming a 6% tax rate the payment bumps up to $532.61. Not sure what the acquisition fee is on this car, but if I assume $600, I come up with a payment of $551.31/mo. If you have the other numbers (tax rate, license fee, title fee, acquisition fee), I can more accurately tell you if the dealer is above board. |

I found a 04 RX330 that is CPO w/16,871 miles on it. Nav, rear dvd and basically everything that I would want in a new one but don't wanna spend what they want right now. The dealership is asking $34,900. Edmunds says the trade in on it was about $28. I understand that making it CPO adds over a 1K. My question is do you think it's a good deal for a 04 with that low of mileage? It's a one owner that was traded in back to the dealership they bought it from. Also besides little tweaks is there that much difference in an 04 and 06 or 07. Such as can't the nav be updated for maps??? If it sounds like a good car, I'm hoping to get them down to high 31 or 32. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Sorry, it's in the Dallas area. Here's some of the particulars ** 3 YEAR / 100,000 MILE LEXUS WARRANTY ** ONE OWNER ** NAVIGATION SYSTEM ** REAR DVD ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM ** NON SMOKER ** SUPER CLEAN ** SUPER LOW MILES ** SHOWS LIKE NEW ** Loaded With Rear DVD Entertainment System, Navigation System, Back Up Camera, 18 Inch Upgrade Wheels, Rain Sensor Wipers, Leather, Sun Roof, Lexus Premium Sound System With 6 Disc CD Changer, Wood Steering Wheel Upgrade. ** Other Equipment Includes Memory Seats, Home Link, Dual Auto-Climate Control, Auto Headlights, Power Steering, Power Windows, Power Door Locks, Tilt Wheel, Cruise Control, Dual Front Air Bags, Front Side Air Bags, ABS (4-Wheel), Dual Power Seats, Alloy Wheels and More. ** Excellent Condition as you would expect from a Dealer interested in your Total Satisfaction! ** Certified Lexus Cars Feature a 3YEAR/100,000 Total Mile Factory Warranty

Replying to: motorjock (Oct 27, 2006 5:53 pm) I just bought that car as an '07 RX350. It has a great rear seat DVD with wireless headsets and a Mark Levinson stereo plus the Gen 5 Nav, power tilt/telescoping steering wheel, HID lights with adaptive front lighting system. There might be a few safety differences. I do know that the 350 has about 50 more horsepower and gets slightly better gas mileage. The MSRP is $48,243 and my capitalized cost was $42,450 + $600 acquisition. I plan to buy the vehicle, so the capitalized cost and residual were important. So: '07 RX350 $43,050 vs '04 RX330 $34,900 a difference of $8,150. Best case sounds like a price of $31K for a difference of $12K. So that's how I would weigh it. Can you get $10K more for an '07 versus an '04 a few years from now? Close, maybe. That would make the difference price-wise between the two negligible.

Learned a lot from this forum, guess it's time for me to contribute. Just bought Rx350 with Nav, MSRP 45706. Got it at 40700 + 198 doc fee + tax + registration + title etc at Lexus of Norwood. It's an OK deal for me. Not the lowest price I saw on this forum, but feels like the best I can do now. |
