Wow great price! I'd like the same car at the same price.I live in the Bay Area as well.Did you ask that price over the net right away? Did it include Tax and Title?
Thanx for help.

Buying advice in Northern California by sloopg

Doing my homework before making a purchase decision for a 07 RX400h, AWD, all options except Levinson Sound and laser cruise control. I currently line in Northern California. The Northern california dealers that I have talked to are unwilling to discount the RX below 1K under MSRP. Based on reading this board and some on-line homework, it seems like the best deals are in Southern California. I don't have any issue doing a weekend trip to LA to save some serious money. Questions is how much can I really save and are there any cards available.
 
Here are my questions...
 
1) Does CarsDirect really work... they are showing a $3k difference between northern and southern Ca. Are there really RXs available through them and are there any hidden fees or will I find dealers unwilling to honor their quote?
 
2) Is the CarsDirect $3K discount the best deal or are there dealerships where I can negotiate a better deal?
 
3) Do you recommend any specific dealerships in the LA area that you recommend? Is the best way to contact them through the internet?
 
4) Is it worth waiting until Dec and getting an '08. Obviously they will not be discounted as heavily as the 07s.
 
I have also come to the conclusion after talking to some local dealerships that I will not get even close to KBB trade-in value on a trade so I will have to sell it privately before proceeding.
 
regards,
SloopG

If you can get a $3k off MSRP discount in the bay area, go for it. Otherwise, you will have to shop down in LA. Who was the dealer who offered $3k off MSRP? Most of the dealers I have spoken to have been unwilling to deal.

I leased a 400h in March. I had leased several RX's (and my fiancee bought an IS) from Jim Falk Lexus in BH in the past. Their prices were on a par with everyone else on the 350 but they were $100 higher a month on the 400h. So I went with Longo Lexus (here in So Cal). David Truong.
 
I was sick with the flu, my RX300 lease was up and the bank wouldn't extend it even 1 day (US Bank - never use them), so David drove the car over here personall (which is about 30 miles) and dropped it off for me, then took back my RX300.
 
The vehicle is an AWD, Flint Mica with Gray interior, Mark Levinson with NAV, Premium Plus, heated seats, pretty much everything but the laser cruise control, DVD rear entertainment system, and for some reason no cargo net. MSRP was $51,346. I don't have the cap cost handy but I think it was about $3K off MSRP.
 
Lease was 48 months, 12K miles, $598+tax = $648 per month with $2,500 total drive-off (first, license, and cap reduction).
 
They're huge, which somewhat makes you feel like you're walking into a Wall-Mart or something, but that also means they get and can give great deals. I'd definitely recommend Longo - and call David in their Internet department.

where are you coming up with this? I have tried and tried. I have gone down the dealership and cannot get them to do any better than 48388. Any ideas?

The best bid. about $47.8k, I was able to get on the Lexus 400h was Stevens Creek. Going in an talking to them will not help, you have to negotiate with their internet sales person. Do a carsdirect.com search using a Los Angeles zipcode like 90007. The price through carsdirect in LA is $3k off MSRP. The same search with a SF zipcode yields no discount at all. Bottom line, if you want a good price on an RX400h, buy it in LA.

Curious what options and color did you get? I had been negotiating with them for a few days and never got close to your figure but not the 46,600 that people claimed to get from them here.Im going to LA soon and will negotiate with a few of the suggested dealerships from here.
