I heard this from other dealers on other brands. Other than nominal mileage, makes some difference for the leasing companies/deal (dealer probably has to eat the mileage cost).

Those sound like pretty reasonable prices. The RX350 is definitely the better deal.
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).

If you look at pure money aspect then LEXUS Hybrid does not really makes sense. The fuel economy advantage is not significant to offset initial higher cost.
 
Tax credit is another thing that you might hear from illinformed salesman. Be careful with this one...you might be in for a surprise

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

Could you please share which dealership and city where you got your deal. It has been more than 2 months since your post, they may not have those deals anymore.
 
thanks,

I have a feeling the original poster purchased his vehicle from Prestige Lexus in Ramsey, NJ.
 
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

My purchase was from Prestige Lexus in Ramsey, NJ. I had put in a post on Edmunds.com after the purchase. As a matter of fact, I was recommending the salesman who sold me my car. I provided my home email for anyone interested in the salesman's name or had any questions. I had purchased a 2008 RX 350 AWD with Navigation, 5 spoke wheels. The MSRP was $45,771. I had paid a little over $38k. I got such a good deal because the 2009 RX's were arriving at dealerships, and Lexus Corporate was providing $3k incentives to dealerships to unload 2008 RX's. I would think, given the economic conditions, you should be able to get a fairly good deal on an 2009 RX. Best of luck.

I have been shopping this week for a 2009 RX350 with premium package and Nav in SF Bay Area.
 
Internet pricing (and costco) started at $41,107 consistently across dealerships.
 
With a couple phone calls we have gotten it to $38,500-$38,900 and expect to maybe be able to crack $38k when done.
 
Hope this helps someone as I found these forums valuable in our search.

Folks I am planning on buying a RX 350 Premium Package. What kind of price should I expect? I have been quoted out-the-door price of $38,100, but it seems high to me.
 
I am from Cary, NC.

In DFW, the Premium pkg and a few add-ons (MSRP of $41,116) is available generally in the $37,300-$37,600 range on quotes we obtained. Don't know how much you can bargain down from there, if any.
