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: 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 for hybrid is to be rescinded next year by either my state or the Feds.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 |

For the life of me I cannot fathom why anyone in their right mind is willing to pay, all-in incl. tax and license, over $50,000 for this vehicle. I love my current RX 300, but isn't it obvious that Lexus has been unable to achieve significant mileage improvements in the 400h, and now has to resort to hyping enhanced performance (acceleration, etc.) and luxury? The fact is that really improved mileage performance in hybrids is only achieved in the lighter weight hybrids, such as the Prius and the Honda hybrids. I looked long and hard at the 400h, but will be damned if I will pay over $50,000 for just a very, very small increase in MPG performance - there is simply no realistic payback. I hate to leave Toyota/Lexus, but a reasonable, lighter weight AWD SUV, with significant MPG increases, is the 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid, which I can purchase here in my Northern California county for $1,000 over the dealer's invoice - a fully loaded vehicle with all of the top options with a total purchase price, including tax and license, of about $35,000. Not quite as luxurious as the Lexus 400h, but at least $16-17,000 less costly!
