MSRP, 52,053 + 650 for delivery + 695 for Tow Hitch install:
 
Flint w/black interior, Mark Levinson Audio, RSES, heated seats, rain-sensing wipers, cargo mat, and wheel locks. +$650 for delivery.
 
My additions: Lexus installed Tow-hitch.
 
Dealer offered at additional charge: 2 alternatives for extended warranty, credit insurance, gap insurance, NW Protection package (clear nose mask + Tough Guard Ext/Int Protection), Lo-Jack
 
Declined all for now, except wanted to get more info on the Lo-Jack option.
 
Have been on wait-list since Spring 2004; formal deposit made May 2005 ($1000); delivery yesterday.
 
Lexus of Portland - very pleasant to deal with. Even had ability to check on custom plates (LTL GAS), and made selection as part of the closing process. Got what I expected for a 98 Audi A4 Quattro in trade.

I got a quote from the manager of the dealer in New Jersey, $3000 off the MSRP which is $46883 with standard options. What do your guys think? My friend bought 6 or 7 Lexus cars from this guy and recommended him to me. What do your guys pay for this car recently? Can anybody share with me? Thx. I'm planning to sign the contract tomorrow evening. Any info is appreciated.

Dear Putao,
That sounds like a great price. Tonight I got a price of only $1,000 off for a RX400h at Lexus of Cherry Hill. What dealer gave you the $3,000 discount?
Regards,

I signed up with a dealer in Tacoma because their waiting list was shortest. They told me late summer and started calling me in June, to see if any of the ones coming in fit my requirements. The first week of July when i was picking mine up, a lady walked in and purchased one on the spot, someone on the list had passedit over, she was never on any list. U can go to the dealer give them a totally refundable deposit, and it would surprise me if you didnt have a car within two weeks at this point. The lists are very changeable, people dont always take a car when it is available or it is not the right color, you just have to show them you are serious at this point and they will find u a 400h

Katzjamr, I think that Tacoma (Fife) and Bellevue Lexus are under common ownership although they perhaps have separate allocations of vehicles. We have put a deposit down with Bellevue and the indication is that it could take 60 days although they hold out a bit of hope for earlier. Hope your guess at two weeks or less is correct. Sounds like you had a good experience with Tacoma.
 
I would not recommend Seattle Lexus in Lynnwood. Very un-lexus like sales service imho. Much runaround about the 400h and too many wasted trips to Lynnwood. I can't conceive of giving them a deposit.

They are the same owner. When i called Bellevue august a year ago they already had a list of over 200, Tacoma made me number 28 when i drove down with a check. Because they are more out of the way i think they try harder. The sales people took alot of time with me, let me drive the demo three times in addition to the car i finally purchased in july. One sales man who had the most knowledge on the 400h told me to buy an RX 330 if i did mostly freeway driving. I appreciated that, however when i drove the 400h i was sold. I have no financial relationship with them however i would buy a car from them again and have sent other people there. I called the Seattle dealership and was in close contact with a sales lady. She was helpful however at that time they would not even put me on a list as they were reserving cars for 'previous customers'. Oddly enough she called one day after i purchased the 400h from Tacoma and said she had a car if i wanted it. Im sure Bellevue will take care of u, its my feeling Tacoma will get u a vehicle faster.

Sorry, don't remember the salemans name but he is stationed at the repair center next to the old Bellevue Journal building. He quoted me 7 top 10 day delivery if I could accept what was available in transit. Six to 8 weeks otherwise.

Tacoma has indicated they are three months out on their orders. You were smart to be ahead of a lot of people and I am a bit late to the party.

When those cars come in they need to move them and the people on the list are not always ready or available, or they pass for some reason like color and options. Every saturday lexus takes an inventory of what is sitting on the lots and the dealers want those cars sold to keep their allocations up. I would actively call your salesperson and cultivate a relationship with one salesperson in tacoma also, you just have to be in the right place at the right time. good luck
