Thanks for the information. I managed to find two web sites that estimate amounts from $1500 to $2200. A credit is certainly better than the a tax deduction, but if it's on the low side it might not be worth the wait.

Dose any one have any experiance with lexus of Portland (Or.) We curently live in Hawaii where other than lexus the dealerships have the worst server ever because you dont have amny places to go. But we will be moving back to portland some time next year and just hope that service there is as good as the lexus dealership here.

A friend of mine in Vancouver, WA bought a RX330 from the Portland dealer last May. He went in with an Edmunds.com price sheet and bought it for the discounted price plus they paid for the Washington State sales tax. He was very satisfied with the buying experience.

Lots of cars in Houston by wantsrx400h

We are going to be picking up our RX 400h on Wednesday from Westside Lexus in Houston, TX. They have plenty of cars in stock and are great to deal with.

We're interested in a 400h at Westside Lexus too, but would like to compare notes on options, availability and price. Did you shop other Houston area dealers, and if so, how did they compare on price?

They had about 8 cars in stock. We got one with the heated seats, but no other extras. The price was $2000+ under MSRP and was the same price Sterling McCall (sp?) was willing to give us. We are doing a one payment lease which saves you money over a regular lease and since we think the technology on the hybrid may change a lot in the next few years we wanted to lease rather than buy.

random reflections after five days' ownership by humptyd

1 -- dealer offered $1500 discount without prompting. We wanted a car with all the options, and dealer had in stock the car we wanted except that it lacked a factory installed DVD. Dealer installed an 8 inch DVD player for $1625, i.e. larger screen and cheaper price than factory unit. Total cash price including DVD player was $50,488.
 
2 -- consider making initial contact with dealer on Internet -- most dealers appeared to assign one of their better salespeople to Internet inquiries.
 
3 -- not all Lexus service technicians are created equal. The technician recommended by the delivery manager -- who, we learned later, operates a strict rotation system-- was extraordinarily inept in answering questions about the initial mileage. We finally got useful answers from another technician recommended by the salesman.
 
4 -- the Lexus site contains useful material on mileage performance, including an explanation why most of us will not achieve the EPA results, and points out that optimum performance may not be achieved during first 5000 miles.
 
5 -- most surprising omission: absence of climate control for second row passengers who are served only by three little vents in the middle of the floor, adjustable as regards direction and volume of flow but not temperature.
 
6 -- and the lemon of the week award goes to..............the navigation system! Leaving aside its confusing button names and poor legibility, and a manual which explains "how" but not "why", on its initial use the system failed to recognise the address of an abused women's shelter in Indianapolis, -- though it did offer the name of a furniture company in Cleveland,. When given the shelter's phone number, the system said the number was invalid, but when, on a whim, I put in the final four digits as "2000" instead of the correct "2200", the system gave the correct address for the shelter, although under the name of another company. The system in our 2005 Acura had no difficulty with either the address or the phone number. Stay tuned.
