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.

I think I did ok by ssooman

So, after visiting 3 dealers in new york( queens, rockville center, and Massapequa) and in that order, I finally was able to get 4000 + off MSRP. MSRP was 52700. I think this happened because I had them trying to beat the previous dealer. My experience at Massapequa was great. Sales guy really thorough. Explained all the features of the car to me before negotiating. He even took me for another test drive even though I told him I had already had one. My advise is to shop around to at least 3 dealers, They will try to beat the one before. I was told that There would not be plenty room for negotiating but I think overall because I shopped around, I was able to do ok. RX 450h with navigation package.

the deal was after trade and no navigation and no rear entertainment so I guess not a good deal. It was at Little Falls, NJ Lexus dealer. I am still looking as I really want the 450h. Keep posting final prices.
