3 weeks ago my 2006 400h was totaled. A Ford compact traveling at a high speed ran the red light and hit my right side back tire then spun around and hit the right front tire. My 400 was moved over 1 lane and the estimate was $20,000 plus to repair. I knew the car would never be the same.
Neither my passenger or I suffered any injuries which says a lot for the 400h,
The other good news is that I took delivery of my new 2110 RX 450h last Thursday. The insurance settlement was more than fair. I wanted the GPS package, but the car came with several extras. Paid $1,000 under MSRP plus the all weather floor mats were thrown in.
As much as I loved my 400h, the 2010 is a much better car. I have mastered about 25% of the bells and whistles and adding to my knowledge bank each day.

Hi, We bought a new 2010 AWD 450H yesterday. Very happy with it so far.
got 2.5k < MSRP in South Bay area (CA) I had quick question about card key. The manual says there should be a card key along with 2 electronic keys, but dealer tells me there are no card keys for 450Hs. Anyone knows what;s the deal here? Thanks

Was not offered a card key, nor did I ask. Did not know about it until I read my owners manual. I have to keep slapping my right hand when I reach for the key to turn off the car.

Fees - real or way to charge more than invoice by srjacobs

I am considering special ordering a RX450h. When I proposed a price that I would be willing to pay - the dealer's response was that the invoice wasn't really what they paid for the vehicle and that between the add expense and the floor planning interest expense - their cost was actually about 1000 more than invoice. To me - for a special order car - the floor planning cost to the dealer should be nil because they are not carrying the car in their inventory for sale. Perhaps they do get charged it up front - but I would expect that to be kicked back to the dealer after the sale is done.
 
Are either one of these fees real? Is the dealer justified in asking for these over and above the invoice price?

hi,
what's the name of the dealership? I talked to Lexus of Edison, and the sale person said he will not go lower than MSRP for the 450h, since it's high in demand

Ready to negotiate by ssooman

Hi. I am now trying to negotiate the price on my ordered cerellian blue 450h. Seems there is not much room for negotiations but I hope to get about 4000 off a Msrp of 53000. Is this realistic? I am still planning on shopping around however. I am going to the dealer who is ordering for me to conduct my negotiations today. I will let you know how it goes. I live in the New york area.

Looking for a decent price on 450H in North Jersey. I also want to trade in my Jeep 2005 Grand Cherokee Limited which they are giving me about 13,600 for. Best price has been 36,000 out the door. I was hoping for better - anybody with good experiences in NJ? If I can't get it down I am going to get the 2010 Highlander Hybird when it comes out.

hi Jimnj,
is the 36k is before or after the trade also what are the options do you have (nav,RES,etc) pkg?
I'm assuming it's after the trade in (which means the 450h is ~ 49K). if it have the RES (rear entertainment system) pkg then it's a good deal. Let me know the dealer name (if you don't mind

Please do tell the dealership name or location. I know you spent a lot of time and effort to research, but I would like to know which dealer gave you the best deal. Obviously I am quoting all the metro NY dealers like brooklyn, queens, ny, but if you got the deal from one of the long island dealers or one upstate or wherever, please let me know. I can even let the dealership know you recommended them. I may even custom-order one, but want to give the business to a dealer that someone else has had a good experience with.
 
Thank you very much.
