Looks like we got our first Lexus,a RX330. We test drove one last Sunday,loved it of course (so much better fit finish and ride than the EB Explorer,Envoy and Mountianneer we drove.Local dealer,very nice but could only go 1900 off list.Came home read posts here and posted ourselves.Tonight,Thursday,gave deposit over phone with dealer in MA (will be happy to post name after we pick up next week or email),a few calls a number of emails and we ended up at 37500 (4338 off list of 41838)for AWD RX330,premium plus,r/s wipers,ms seats,18inch wheels,tow pkg,mats. Thank you all for emails and imput,this works! Why pay more with a little knowledge and research anyone can do this.Great site ! |

| Congratulations on your purchase. I agree -- it is amazing the impact consumer knowledge and healthy competition has on the car buying experience. | |
| I did not get a cargonet with my RX330 which I picked up a month ago. | |

Thanks for the information. Do you now if the RX330 can be suited with a cargonet? The dealer said the RX 330 does not come with the "hooks" to string up the cargonet. So it looks like I might have to look into an after-market solution. The reason I am interested is because we occasionally travel with our dog and I was considering placing him the back of the RX330. I was thinking of using the cargonet to block him from climbing on the rear seats. Thanks |

I'm still waiting for my RX so I'm not sure if it comes with one but... ...I've had many cars with a cargo net. The cargo net runs width-wise at the opening of the liftgate/trunk. It is useful for putting shopping bags in so they don't move around and is about 18" high. I can't imagine how it would help with dogs unless you were going to put them IN the net, which would not be nice. |

No I would not put my dog in the cargonet. I have also had trunk cargonets. However, the RX 330 is a truck so the trunk is the space behind the back seats. I planned on using the cargo net to extend above the back seat headrest to the roof. This would create a cargonet wall that would prevent the dog from jumping over the back seats (from the cargo area of the truck) |

Purchased RX330 AWD Black exterior & interior premium plus package Heated seats/Rain Sens Wipers 18" wheels Towing Pkg Cargo Mat/Wheel locks $38,000 before tax, license & fees All dealers said invoice was $37,200 and MSRP was $41,698 I would have been able to do $500 better if I settled for black and ivory interior but I wanted black. Dealership I purchased from was Ray Catena Lexus in Oakwood NJ. Got better offers in NYC and Long Island but as I said they did not have the black interior. Don't pay more. It appears the larger the drealership the more room they have to negotiate. Also financing. Apparently the financing rates ARE negotiable as long as you have a written quote. Lexus offered 5.15% apr on 72 month lease but I received 4.59% from Capital One on-line. After going back and forth a couple of times between the 2, I ended up paying 3.85% from Capital One. Everything is negotiable. |

| Wanted to know what price has a recent buyer paid for a 2004 RX 330 AWD with Navigation and DVD and Mark Levison Sound (Premium) in Michigan. | |
|
What I was saying was that SUV cargo nets work the same as the trunk ones. There would be no way to attach it to the roof or the tops of the seats to make it a cargo gate. I've actually found the cargo nets in my SUVs to be much less useful than the ones in the trunks of my cars. With the SUV, I have to dettach the net every time I want to haul anything or even put a suitcase in. |

| Lexus Financial (in fact no company I know of) does not offer a 72 month lease. The highest they go is 60 months. Of course any lease over 48 months on a vehicle with a 48 month warranty would be ill advised. | |
