After reading several posts on here, I emailed several Texas Lexus dealers (Houston, San Antonio, Dallas) for the best price and my trade-in. MSRP is $49883+TTL. I received 3 best offers from Dallas dealers. I end up buying from one of these dealers. He offered me $2845 off the MSRP and he gave me one with additional Mark Levinson audio system upgrade ($980 MSRP). I drove up to Dallas and bought it the same day. My trade-in price is about $300-400 difference from what I expected from bluebook. Overall, my purhcase experience is excellent. I did an one pay lease following fellow forum member's suggestion. BTW, I really enjoy this RX400h, I use bluetooth connecting to my cell phone to talk while drive. Navigation is easy to use, except you can not program it while driving. I am getting about 26.2 mpg fom three fill ups. Oh, and the dealership is Park Place Lexus . My advice is to email those dealers first and ask them to give you the best price and compare them. Austin Lexus never return my email or call me until a week later. They want me to pay MSRP and may not have one available. I hope this information will help others Derek Austin, TX |

Since the dealers in southern California are still charging MSRP, and have limited selection, we are considering "importing" from another state (thanks to a few posts on this forum about discounts available in various regions  ). Is there anyone on this forum who bought from an out-of-state dealer and had the vehicle shipped to southern California? What was your experience with doing this (expense, timeline, satisfaction, etc.)? (Even if some of you had your vehicles shipped to other states, any general information you can share would be appreciated!) Thanks!

Replying to: jazzpiano (Sep 20, 2005 5:28 pm) I called right away and made an msrp offer on one and before the salesman could get my offer in the RX sold to a buyer there in the dealership. He then investigated another one that they had and found that a buyer on their list was scheduled to come the next day to look at it but had not yet committed to buy it. It was the right color for us so I made an offer for it, secured it with a small credit card deposit and they sold it to me. We flew to Abq a few days later and drove it back to Seattle, making a family vacation out of it with stops in Santa Fe, Moab,UT and Twin Falls, Id on the way back. We love the RX-h and very much enjoyed the purchase and travel experience. What a great road trip vehicle. From SoCal, Abq should be an inexpensive flight and nice easy drive back. Try the Phoenix stores too as someone said the availability there was better but I received no responses from them other than auto ones. I called a few of the out of state dealers too and didn't rely on email only but email is actually what worked the best in finding the ones in Abq. I would be happy to share the contact information for the Abq dealer if you are interested. BTW, you may have to go further east (ie Texas as was noted) to get a "deal" on one currently. Good luck to you in the search.

Replying to: wantsrx400h (Aug 22, 2005 5:50 am) You must drive it mostly in the United States. The vehicle must meet all federal and state emissions requirements. Government agencies, tax exempt organizations, and foreign entities are not eligible. $2000.00 kap

Replying to: kaperino (Sep 26, 2005 12:54 pm) Well, mark one down in the "DUH" column for the feds again; since a tax exempt organization would not be paying taxes anyway, how could they get a credit on taxes they don't pay? |

Replying to: newmowner (Oct 06, 2005 5:47 pm) But, either way, since he posted that in July, and that was the only time he has ever logged on to our forums, I don't think he will be replying.. regards, kyfdx Host-Prices Paid Forums |

Replying to: omtradelaw (Jul 04, 2005 11:55 pm) Also, what can I expect for a good discount off of MSRP on a new RX400h with ML and navigation? where at (which dealership)? Can I use regular 87 octane in a new RX400H ? The HOV use, I read< for hybrid is to be rescinded next year by either my state or the Feds. Any info on this? Thanks.......reddog |
