I am still not certain what I should pay for a 2009 RX350 with nav + prem pkg. I have been offered 2 different prices for MSRP of $45981: One dealer gave $2500 off MSRP for total of $43491. Another dealer gave 5% off MSRP - $250 gas card for total of $43432. I live near Pittsburgh and am not sure if these are good prices??? I would appreciate any input. |

I negotiated a lease for an 2009 RX 350, $2500 down +TTT. Payments of $558 a month. This car was without navigation. I asked the dealer if he would give me the demo that we test drove which, with the exception of rear entertainment system, was fully loaded. After some back and forth, he agreed, but said they would write the lease as zero miles and the 4,000 miles on the lease would count against my 30,000 for the lease term. Anyone ever heard of a dealer doing this?

I am wondering whether or not I am getting a good deal on the RX I am about to purchase. I am torn between getting the 350 and the 400h, and so I set out the pricing for both (identical packages for each). I am purchasing in Northern NJ. Does anyone have any thoughts? It seems like a good deal, but I wanted a reality check. - Premium Plus Package (leather, sunroof, heated seats, etc.) - Navigation/DVD/Bluetooth - RX 350 = $41,200 (excluding TTL) - RX 400h = $45,700 (excluding TTL) For the 350, this represents about $4000 under MSRP and a little over $1000 over invoice. On the 400, it's not quite as good of a deal. In any event, any thoughts on these prices, and/or whether or not getting the 400 is even worth it, would be greatly appreciated.

Replying to: lscott8 (May 12, 2008 3:01 pm) The hybrid will give you approx 5 - 7 mpg more than the RX 350. If you plan on keeping the vehicle for more than 6 yrs or so, the hybrid can be a compelling choice. You should do the math to see how many yrs you need to keep the hybrid to make up for the extra $4,500 + tax. Keep in mind, you can use regular gas in the hybrid, and there is a tax writeoff if you purchase the hybrid. I had purchased an '08 RX350 in January. It would have taken me 8 yrs to make up the price difference with the hybrid. (I only drive about 8k miles per yr). Of course, if you are "green" and care about the environment, the hybrid is the way to go at any cost. Good luck, and please let us know what you decide to do. By the way, I purchased my RX at Prestige Lexus (I assume thats the dealer your speaking of). |

Be careful with this one...you might be in for a surprise link title link title I believe Toyota/Lexus is already phased out (Am not sure on this one) So you buy Hybrid because you feel good doing something for enviornment...that too is debatable |

Replying to: xu100 (May 19, 2008 11:26 am) Last month, my husband and I purchased an '08 RX 350 for $38,900+++. Our car's MSRP was $45,700 with the following: Prem Plus Pkg Nav Heated Seats w/ Rain Sensing Wipers Trunk Mat Wheel locks 18" 5-spoke wheels Prestige was absolutely awesome and, believe me, we won't buy a car from anywhere else! I am certain they will have similar deals on the '09s, but probably not as sweet. Hope this helps - I felt bad you've been waiting so long for an answer
