Have you looked into any "used" Lexus RX400h and if so what kind of deals have you found on them (i would like a 2007 model). Not many out there but they are coming off lease now... seem like a more reasonable way to go with the new designs coming out soon. Anyone have some prices on used hybrids?

did you buy it ? If so, what is name of dealer and did you deal with a salesman or internet mgr or did you go in person and talk to a manager ? Name?
 
I am looking to lease for 36 months with nothing down BUT a "one payment lease"
that reflects an MSRP for a 2008 Hybrid of $51,064 with a lease price of $44,200 plus $349 doc fee which results in a residual of .48 at a rate of .00090...giving total payment (lump sum at front of lease) of $27,400 ($713.05/month).
 
Is this a decent deal ? Can I get a better deal ? Which numbers should be trimmed to result in a lower one payment lump sum ?
 
Any help will be appreciated.

Bad experience in advantagecar.com in Houston by jgaoauto

Yesterday, I searched the internet and fund a RX 400h in Advantagecar.com in Houston. I called the sale Rep and I was told that the car is in good shape and they also accept the Aircheck voucher. After 2~3 hrs drive, I went to the dealer and test driving. I found the matainence check light is sometime on and sometimes is off. the engin is also very noisy when I speed up to 70~75 miles. I felt that the car is little bumping in highway. after test driving, I tried to talked to Car Rep about those problem. They said it is jsut forget to rest light. when I started to inquiring the engin problem, the guy who claim as sale manager said that they don't accept Aircheck voucher for this car. They showed their impolite and they don't want sell it any more. Then I have drove another 2~3 hr back to home. From my shopping experience, some car dealers are very dishonest. the customer has to be very careful.

Help me figure this out by larryj42

This is probably simple, but I have talked to so many dealers with so many numbers I am woozy. I am working with a dealer on an 09 RX 350. The sticker is $44665, the invoice is $39413. I have got the dealer down to $39100 + TTL This includes a $1000 manufacturer to dealer rebate and a $1000 "closing certificate" from Lexus. The dealer says this is his rock bottom price.
If the $1000 rebate and the $1000 closing certificate come from Lexus to the dealer, doesn't it reduce his cost to $37413? The holdback is 2%, or $896, which reduces his cost to $36517. This would give him a profit of $2583.
If I am correct, I would think he could still lower that price quite a bit. Are my calculations wrong? Thanks for your help!

I bought a 2008 AWD 400h w/ Navigation, Premium Plus, Wood trim, Cargo mat/net, heated seats, Tow prep and 18 inch wheels this weekend in the SF Bay Area. Offered $42,600 + TTL, dealer countered with $42,806, we settled on $42,650. I was building in the 1,000 rebate and 1,000 close certificate, plus some of the dealer holdback, into our bid. The dealer claimed that the Consumer Reports invoice price was wrong, and that the "true" invoice price was higher. The sales manager gave me a printout of the invoice, which was different, but which included flooring fees, advertising fees, etc. Manager claimed they only made $150 at $42,806, which was not very believable.
 
Final price (n/i TTL) was about $2500 under invoice based on Consumer Reports' invoice price, about $2650 under invoice based on the sales manager's invoice. Took the .9% financing.
 
Our new car had actually been at the dealer for several months, so that may have been why they were willing to go so low. But I also did a lot of email footwork before actually going to the dealership, playing area dealers against each other. Figure we're still taking a risk, b/c Lexus dealers, and Toyota, may get desperate to move 400h stock at year's end and early next year, but we needed the car sooner rather than later.

We live in the SF Bay Area and are also planning to buy a 2008 AWD 400h with similar options to yours. It seems like you struck a pretty good deal. I wonder if you could tell us the name of the dealership you purchased from. I would also be interested in knowing what the dealer said his base invoice price was. After we purchase I'll let everyone know what kind of a deal we were able to make . The fact that the car market is in the tank and that a 2008 model is at the end of its run should mean that there is an opportunity to save some significant $s. As I understand it Lexus will be offering the same car in early part of 2009 and then do an early release of the 2010 model which it seems will have a restyled and larger body. Is that what others are hearing? We don't want a larger car, so the 2008 will be best size-wise for us.
