does anyone know for sure if the tax credit is still available for 2006 RXs? I had heard there was a vehicle limit for toyota/lexus such that only the first 60,000 vehicles sold in 2006 (RX+ Prius+ Highlander etc) would be eligible.

Hi - can you tell me what your car included and what the MSRP was? I am looking to negotiate a deal soon and want to know what some people are getting. Is it true you can only get these cars fully loaded (i.e. with nav, rear parking camera, etc.)?

I'm picking up my RX 400 H AWD today. It has heated seats and rain sensors. NO DVD or NAV. MSRP 47958-discount 3458 = 44,500 out of pocket. Hopes this helps. I'm in NJ

Thanks for the info. When did you order the car? Were they in stock? I've been told I had to order and they only came with NAV.

They had a bunch of cars in stock. It's a 2006 not a 2007. I think they had 6 left and not one of them had a nav system. I bought the car on Saturday and am picking it up today.

my notes so far... by daloosh

I've been in the thick of it for a couple weeks on this car, so I have some answers...
 
As to the tax credit, they are graduated, so once Toyota hits 60,000, the credit decreases over four quarters. They already hit 60,000, so this is the last quarter you can get 100% of the credit, so in October, you only get half, I think, and then in spring it drops to a quarter of the full credit.
 
As for 2007 changes, I've been told no body changes. Changes I've been informed of are 1) new Nav system, but not too different and 2) wood will be standard, instead of an upgrade (with higher cost, of course).
 
As to availability, I have seen only two kinds, without Nav and with Nav and heated seats. People seem to shy away from without Nav, so those are on the lots, and with Nav and heated seats are the ones still coming from Lexus.
 
Finally, I'm in the NY metro region and while I haven't negotiated yet, dealers are opening their offers with about $2250+ off the sticker (sticker with nav being either $49,750 or $49900 (with cargo mat and some other little thing).
 
cheers!

Thanks for the info. In my area, dealers are ordering and none are on the lot. (Massachusetts) So that is probably why I can't get a RX400h without nav. any idea if 2007 will have satellite radio? I heard a rumor the engine might be upgrade (just like 330 to 350). somewhere on this message board someone referred to a RX440. Seems like this info is top secret. Please let me know how you make out and what kind of breaks you get-

I researched the IRS website and it stated that for RX400H, the tax credit is $2200 if purchased prior to Sep. 30, 2006. Purchases in the 4th quarter qualify for an $1100 tax credit.

That sounds right, and the next decrease is in another two quarters, so it will be only $550 credit, but the law could be changed before then.
 
Another dealer told me that Lexus is not shipping non-Nav cars right now, and he was unsure if the 2007s would be offered in nav and non-nav. None of the dealers have mentioned an upgrade in the engine, but a few said the 400h may still just edge out the 350 on the road, tho they are similar, and the 400 remains more powerful than the 330.
 
I had read that there will be different grades for 2007, with fabric in standard and then two premium levels with leather.

Hello- I'm in the mid-Atlantic region and looking for purchase a 400h in by end of September.
 
Looking at an AWD, and a NAV & ML system would be ideal. MSRP is approx. $50,100
 
a few questions:
-when does the 2007 model comes out?
-any deals similar to what I read from CA? Willing to deal w/i 500 miles if I hv to.
 
Thanks
