Hello:
seems this site has gone a bit quite. can someone share recent price experiences, particularly for premium, NAV version w MSRP of 49,886. references i have seen in this site are all wrt a lease, not purchase. that make a difference in purchase price?
Also, first conversation w dealer suggests they want $795 to complete the install of XM. what experience on that.
Thanks

It shouldn't make the least bit of difference. For my lease we first discussed purchase price and then calculated monthly payments, etc.
 
The best I found was $44,549 and don't buy from any dealer who says that these things have been going very near retail price because they're so hot. Call around or submit pricing requests on this site and only ask to speak to the internet sales manager.
 
Good luck.

for a 2007 front wheel drive 400h with navigation, i paid 42,687. I had my XM radio installed with a recharging auxilliary direct ipod connection at HB Auto sound for $500. xm radio goes right through the navigation screen and works great, including live sports scores updated almost instantly on the screen. i would avoid the dealer cause you won't get the ipod hook up as far as i understand.

Thanks Ethan
I submitted bids through Checkbooks CarBargains service. They are supposed to shop the deal to 7 local dealers and come back w best price. I will post on site what they come back with to help others (assuming it is good deal). My first pass w salemen at $600 over invoice got nowhere, so appreciate your advice to work w internet sales mgr.

Hi Merick! I'm talking with Westminster, among others, for an AWD RX400h, Nav, Mark Levinson, 18" alloy, tow prep, wood trim, etc. Did you say that $42,687 was what you PAID? That means that Tax, Title and License were included in that price? I'm only getting around 46,000 offer price, and then it's another 10% roughly, for TTL. Is that any good? I'm looking at a color that is hard to find! I'm also looking in the Bay Area, since we spend time north and south.

i think Merick's price is for FWD not AWD. Closest compare is Ethan's at about 45,500 but that is without Mark Levinson, so 46,00 may not be bad? Maybe Ethan will clarify

The thing about TTL is that you can't get around having to pay for it and its included in both leases and purchases/finances. Its a forgone conclusion, so most people just refer to their purchase price + TTL. I live in NY so our sales tax was 8.0375% plus the registration of $129. Thats probably the only stuff a purchase would have in addition to the purchase price (there may be dealer prep fees but check out (http://www.carbuyingtips.com) to see if its a BS fee.
 
FWD is not as expensive as AWD by the way and they can be bought for a few thousand less. If we're talking about the car with a MSRP of $49,886 then we're probably talking about the same options, AWD, Premium Plus, 18" alloy wheels, Nav, Heated Seats/Rain Wipers, NO Mark Levinson, etc....
 
If you're getting Mark Levinson, u got to figure thats worth an additional 1-2k so I would compare your deal with the $49,886 MSRP car.
 
Good Luck,
 
Ethan
