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

The 2007 model is a wellkept secret. Lexus traditionally gives next to no notice for new model year cars so that they can sell off the old year's models. I am in MA and I have heard a couple of thousand off at most over here. They are dealing much more aggressively for the 2007 RX350 because the demand is down.

bbydad's right about the 350, the dealers are pushing them pretty hard.
 
I think your estimate of MSRP is a little low, since I've been looking at AWD with nav and heated seats (pretty much if they have nav they have heated seats, as well as cargo mat). The sticker has been $49,928. Mark Levinson adds close to a grand to that, and then there will certainly be a price increase for 2007s, so I would guess you'd be looking at closer to $51,500.

I think you're right about the price. However, I heard here that Mark Levinson was not an option any more for 2006 400H's. Does anyone know if the 2007 will finally have a satellite radio or MP3 jack? Does the 350?

Here's an update. We did buy 400H FWD with heat seats, rain sensing wipers, 18' wheels, adaptive lights, etc for $43K + TTL.
 
With the first tank, it averaged 24.6 MPG, about 5 MPG better than what we were getting with RX300. So far, it's a very nice car and extremely satisfied.
 
Good luck!

AMG123-
 
Could you shed some info on who/what/where is your Lexus dealer in NJ?
 
3k-4k off the MSRP seem good to me.
 
Thanks

Buying/Leasing a '06 vs. ''07 RX 400H and Tax Credit Issues by annasf

Hi all, based on this article poasted on the IRS website (http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=157632,00.html) that was updated just on 8/9/06, I am concluding the following:
 
- you can't qualify for the tax credit if you buy a '07 RX400h
- you can't qualify for the tax credit if you lease the vehicle
 
So, it seems that if you can still find an '06 model, not only will you get a discount (I talked to a salesperson on the phone and he thought he could do at least $2K off what I would otherwise have to pay for buying an '06 model now), you'll also be able to take advantage of the tax credit...
 
So here are my questions:
- has anyone actually seen the '07 model yet? how is it different vs. the '06? (the dealer said new nav system is the only difference)
- has anyone learned anything different about getting a tax credit for the '07 model?
 
Thanks!
