#96 of 551 I paid sticker price by chops57 Oct 27, 2005 (11:03 am)
I got mine last weekend from Fremont, CA. I paid sticker price and it's fully loaded. I had been on a waiting list at multiple dealerships, so bargaining wasn't really an option. They took my 2000 Jeep cherokee for about 1k under blue book for the trade in. Replies to this message: bvend (Nov 03, 2005 10:16 am)

#98 of 551 new RX400 - questions by adp33 Nov 16, 2005 (9:55 pm)
What is the latest on pricing? Is now a good time to buy this vehicle, or should I wait until next year. I'm ready to pull the trigger. My car has over 80,000 miles on it, and I've been looking for a new one for over a year. I may keep the old car so my daughter can drive it when it's her time. My old car is a 2000 Sebring convert. It gets about 22. I know I am not saving the world by buying the 400H, but if it's more luxurious and more fun to drive than my Sebring, it doesn't hurt that it gets better mpg and will have much lower emissions. And if I want a convertible, I'll just back the Sebring out of the garage, which will be perhaps once a month or so. (and in a couple years, maybe I'llupgrade it with a "plug in" patch, and I'll be getting 60 mpg - yee-ha)   How do you folks think it will perform in snow? Have any of you tried different tires on it?   I also like the Mariner, but I'm thinking the 400H will be more fun to drive and better/safer in the snow. AND I really like the idea of rear reclining seats. (it's the one downside to our Volvo XC90, as compared to its predecessor, a Grand Caravan)   I'm pretty sure the 400H is the perfect car for me. I wish I could get one for 40K!

Replying to: andy3 (Oct 27, 2005 10:51 am) You can't just compare MPG. The RX 300 (and 330), while a fine vehicle relatively speaking, is a granny car compared to the 400h when it comes to power and performance.   Plus, many people misstate the price differences among the Lexus models, forgetting that even the base version of the 400h basically is fully loaded (options that would add many thousands to the price of a 300 or 330).   To each his own.

Replying to: stevedebi (Oct 20, 2005 12:07 pm) I don't have a link at my fingertips (shouldn't be that hard to find on google or yahoo) but yes, it is well known that the Ford hybrid vehicle uses basically a FIRST generation Toyota hybrid system (ala the original Prius; the newer Prius is 2nd generation, the 400h third generation). And yes, I heard from several sources that there was a patent dispute and Toyota (being the leader in this area and holding basically all relevant patents) licensed some of its hybrid patents to Ford.

It is in court.   A Toyota spokesperson confirmed the lawsuit, but said that company policy prevented comment about pending litigation.   Solomon alleges that the hybrid transmission drive in the Toyota Prius and Highlander infringes a number of claims contained in its U.S. Patent No. 5,067,932.   hybrid lawsuit

#104 of 551 Lexus RX 400H Leasing by life98_98 Nov 29, 2005 (9:14 pm)
I received a price quote in NJ for a 400H with all options except rear entertainment for monthly lease of $558 and out of pocket (1st month, bank fee, MV/doc, tire tax, cap cost) of $6000, and MSRP quoted was 49,930. This is my first time leasing and not sure if this is a good deal I am getting… Any info would be appreciated. Replies to this message: mobym (Dec 12, 2005 6:46 pm) life98_98 (Jan 24, 2006 7:32 pm)

Replying to: cohenfive (Nov 21, 2005 8:19 pm) Just bought (yesterday) a RX400h in Oxnard for nearly $2000 below sticker. We just walked in, test drove one of the five they had sitting around and bought it. All we did was ask them to match an email offer extended by Lexus of Thousand Oaks. There is no reason to wait and pay sticker, they are available below if you go to the right spot. Replies to this message: cessna2 (Dec 04, 2005 9:34 pm) navguy1 (Dec 16, 2005 2:26 pm)
