Don't hate me but I just paid 47500 for a fully loaded (had everything except the wood option and tow hitch and 12 miles on the clock)06 400h in the NE. E-mailed dealership on 27th asking for best price. E-mailed me back with 47500 on the 28th or 52and change on the 1st. Wasn't planning to buy so soon but the deal was too goodto pass up. Sat in it and test drove it for about 10mins the 1st time on the 28th came back in to the delaership and signed all the papers and paid. Picked it up today. I was not the most pleasant person to deal with as to be honest I don't like the flashy look of the car that much, nor the way it drives without a lot of torque, and think that the seats are not as comfortable as they might be but the Lexus service rep is true, they are really top notch. I was switching out of a X5 which I love (prices are all ex trade, before trade was even in the picture, but they gave me $500 more than BMW was going to give me on the trade which cut my taxes in half) mainly for environmental reasons, cost savings with the fuel economy, and because I am a pirahia in the pick up line at school with the X5. The 400 is a bit smaller than the X5 and my leg touches the center console where as it didn't on the X5 and the X5 had more comfortable seats also the X5 has better visibility (at 6'4" my eyes are at top of win screen level the drivers seat need to drop another inch or two, anyoe know if that can be done?) but drove it for a hour or so and considering that this car is about 20K less than a new X5 and easily get double the mileage than the X5 it isn't a bad car. Part of it I think is getting used to the electric acceleration vs the off the line torque punch of the X5 but I was able to pull in to traffic from a stand still in the 400 surprisingly well. The ride is very quiet compared to the X5 and the stereo impressive. I still have to figure out how all the systems work but te bottom line is that every minute that i spend in the car I like it more and miss my X5 less. The car is for the wife and is almost a foot shorter and loves it. Looks like I lucked out in spite of myself and i really have to commend the guys at the Lexus dealership, they couldn't have been more accomodating even though they made almost nothing on the car (took a peak at the invoice on the car when the finance manager wa out making copies). A class act and I will be seriously thinking about trading in my 7 series this fall when their big sedan comes out with AWD and hybrid.

Just Purchased FWD 400h in So Cal for $43.5K by kbsocal

I just bought a new FWD 400h with Nav, Mark Levinson, and heated seats from Longo Lexus in El Monte (So Cal) for $43,500 (+TTL)- less than the carsdirect price for the area. I agreed to the price over the phone with the internet department. And yes, they did put it in writing in an e-mail back to me. They e-mailed me a credit application which I faxed back. A few hours later, they sent me an interest rate quote and the financial terms of the deal.
 
When I got to the dealership a few days later, I examined the car, the printed paperwork, and I was out of there with my new car in little over an hour! As smooth a car-buying experience as you can have and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them in the area (a complete opposite experience than with Santa Monica Lexus which tried to change the price on me after I got to the dealership)!
 
I hope this information helps other prospective purchasers in the area.

Congratulations, looks like you got yours for the dealer's invoice price. My fully loaded AWD was about $400 over invoice. I guess they are heavily discounting the 400h now, surprising that they would have to as it is a phenomenal car. Can't wait to trade my 7 series for the 500+hp LS460L AWD hybrid late this year if the performance in this hybrid is anything to go by!

Can you tell me what the MSRP was on the RX400h?
 
I want to try to configure the car on the website.
 
I am located in San Pedro and Longo isn't that far away.
 
Thanks.

Kenbt,
 
I configured the car on Carsdirect and Autobytel. I believe the MSRP was around $49,350. Carsdirect will only give you a few options from which to choose (because most of items that are "options" in the 330 are included in the 400h).
 
I hope that helps.

FWD 400h for $44.4 - MSRP $49,888 by womble

just got my 400h with navigation, mark lev sound, heated seats, and wood trim, for $44.4 carsdirect.com/longo lexus. They even delivered. I love the car! Highly recommend using carsdirect. I will never use a dealer again, expecially after SM Lexus and Keyes gave me the run around. Don't even get me started on Glendale Lexus. Longo were great to deal with and that's where the car ended up coming from.

I noticed that Lexus is now offering special leases on the RX400h and there are a great supply of them in S. FL. I am looking for 12k miles a year for 3 years. Car Man do you have the money factor and residuals for this? Thanks.

Terms for Short Term Lease on 400h? by jbryson1
Apr 09, 2006 (8:49 am)
Reply
Anyone with current leasing terms for IFS on the 400h for a 24mo/24K lease? I know they hate short term, but, that's what I perfer. I am in the Chicago region, where the economy is doing just ok. What kind of payment should I expect? I am hoping that they will sell the car for about $2000 off sticker, so, the price will be around $47 before ttl. Otherwise, I may go off to Swapalease or Leasetrader - seems like a good number of both 330RX and some 400h's are available on their good sites. Any suggestions of good internet leasing companies? Thanks.

Leasing RX400 Questions by lvshane
Apr 12, 2006 (6:44 pm)
Reply
I have decided to lease the RX400 and am being offered the following deal. It sounds pretty good to me, but I am wondering what others are getting????
 
MSRP - $50,500 (Nav, Mark Levinson, etc...)
Cap cost - $45,000
15k miles
36 months
59% residual (do they normally take this from the cap sot or the MSRP)
MF = .017
Monthly payment $675 (incl. tax)
 
The only up front money is for my first payment. Everything else is wrapped into the lease.
 
Does this sound like a fair deal?
 
Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks.
