How to request quotes by sw_wash

Hello,
 
I'm planning to purchase an RX350 AWD w/o NAV (the exact configuration is at the bottom of the message) The quoted MSRP is $43216 incl. destination charge; invoice (w/dest.) is $38197, according to Edmunds.com. I test drove the car last weekend and pretty much made up my mind to buy it. I did not discuss pricing with the salesperson, but he did tell me that with their 'December to Remember' discount the price for the model would be about $41400. I thought that there was little room for negotiation and was planning to offer $40500.
 
There is only one Lexus dealer where I live (SW Washington/Portland OR area), and I thought that I was pretty much stuck with those guys. However, upon reading the forum, I've decided to request quotes from the 3 Seattle-Tacoma area Lexus dealers. My question is, what is the best way to make the price inquiry from multiple dealers? Should I simply ask for the "best price quote" from each dealer, or also disclose my initial offer (which will be considerably lower than what I initially thought) during the inquiry? I don't wish to show my hand right off the bat, but I doubt that their initial offers will come close to the prices that are being quoted in the forum (i.e., very close to or at invoice). I'd be very interested to hear others' suggestions/strategies.
 
Thanks, and best regards.
 
Configuration:
===========
RX350 AWD w/Luxury Value Edition (which includes Premium Plus Package), 7-Spoke wheels, heated seatsw/rain-sensing wipers, Towing Prep Package, cargo mat and wheel locks (no NAV unit or bluetooth).

I am also in the same area and looking for exactly the same car. I have also requested the quote from others and so far no success. Let's be in touch and my email is technocratlive.com. If we say that we have to buy two cars, may be we can negotiate better. My target is $39K. Pls advice if any one has got this price or better or this is too low to ask.

08 RX 350 AWD WITH NAV by lexus2suxel

Hi,
 
I am very serious in purchasing the 2008 Lexus RX 350 AWD this weekend. This includes the premium plus package, heated seats, rain sensors, Nav+bluetooth+voice.
 
I have phoned around a few dealers in my area (outside of Philadelphia), and the best offer was $41,500 + tax. I have tried to play a few dealers off each other but it seems this is as good as it gets. Is this a good deal?
 
Thanks,
A

lexus2suxel,
 
You may try to contact a few NJ Lexus dealers. Many NJ dealers I contacted were willing to sell it for $40,500 for the specs you wanted. I called about 6-7 dealers and only one refused.
 
Good luck, I love my new car!

Got a great deal from Tustin Lexus in Tustin, CA. Premium plus package with navigation for $41,900 out the door. I didn't care about the added fees, delivery, or anything of that nature. I told them I got a quote for $42,000 out the door from another dealer and they beat the quote by $100.

john91498 - sounds like a great deal - if it is front wheel drive that may be around $800 over invoice (depending on the tax in your county).

The dealer cost on that vehicle is just under $41K.
 
Another dealer might give you another hundred bucks or so to steal the deal from a competitor but what you have is a pretty good deal.
 
The annual "December to Remember" Sales Event is all about dealers selling the maximum amount of vehicles possible.
