2008/2009 RX350 AWD by mjtaysdad

I have been reading all the posts for the past day or so in this forum, but I must admit I am still a bit confused. I am looking to buy on 08 or 09 RX350 AWD with the premium package + heated seats in the next day or so. However, I am still unclear what type of incentives are out there for dealers and how much over/under invoice I should be trying to negotiate for either an 08 or an 09. If anyone could help me out, I would truly appreciate it. Also, if anyone has found a good dealer in the OH/KY/IN/PA area, I would also be very appreciative of any recos. Many thanks.

Hi,
 
I just purchased a new 2008 rx350 2wd. I negotiated down to $1028 under invoice. I purchased my car in S. Florida. The dealership had 3 2008's left with about the same options, including mine. I was at the dealership for 3 hours negotiating, but finally got a number that was good for me. I got the following options - Nav w/ Mark Levinson luxury value package, Rear entertainment(I didn't want this, but the car already had it and I used it as a bargaining tool), Graphite Finish Wheels, Heated seats w/ rain sensing wipers, Towing prep, cargo mat, and wheel locks. I basically let them know that I would take an 08 for the right price. I stated that the 09's have been out for a while and the new redesign was coming next year, so I would take an 08 for the right price. After being patient and saying no to several prices they gave me, I worked with the Finance Manager to get the monthly payment to where I was comfortable with it. And now I am a happy new owner of an rx350. Good luck in your search. I wanted to contribute after reading the posts on here which helped me make my purchase.

Many thanks -- I am currently using this as my negotiation benchmark. Not quite there yet, but I am getting close.

RX350 2009 PEBBLE BEACH EDITION-Truffle Mica by bebegirl

Just closed the deal on my RX350 AWD in Truffle Mica with Navigation System, they added front window tinting and paid both destination charges from one dealership to the other. Lexus in Austin had to swap one of their vehicles with the OH location in order to get me the color and options I wanted.
 
Paid cash $41,000-hope I did not pay too much. They originally wanted 45,199

I am deciding between Acura MDX or Lexus RX350. I will be happy with either car, but want to buy one that is a better deal.
 
I currently have a quote for $40,300.00 + Tag/Tax/Title. And $43,400.00 for Nav package. Does this seem low?
 
Thank you in advance,

Grejay, Would it possible for you to email me or post the dealership who offered you $37,700? I'm in the New York/New Jersey area and am looking to purchase the 2009 RX350 with the Navigation package. The best price I'm getting here is $41k. Much obliged. Thank you.

Hi Mikey777,
 
You should contact Prestige Lexus in Ramsey NJ. I bought an '08 Rx350 with Navigation at Prestige for $38k + tax, title, etc. That was back in March when they had dealer incentives to sell '08 RX's as the '09's were arriving. (But I'm sure you can get a great deal on a 2009).
 
Please email me at greatwickedcomcast.net and I can provide you the salesman's name. He was extremely nice, not pushy, and had an excellent demeanor. Prestige has an enormous inventory, just check out their website, they are one of the only dealers that shows their inventory online.
 
Good Luck!

Sure. The dealership is located in New Jersey and the name is
Ray Catena Lexus. They told me they are one of three largest inventories
in US and the largest in the east or something.
However, as I mentioned in the prev. posting,
I am not sure you can get a same deal now. A couple of days
before I got that e-mail offer, I asked them for a $40,000 deal
but, they turned it down. Maybe, you can try it near (very close to)
the end of July, I guess? You can e-mail me at grandportagehotmail.com
for further question. Good luck!

Trying to sell Lexus RX 330, What am i doing wrong? by swotavator

Hi all. I have a 2005 Lexus RX 330 that i bought certified pre-owned in 2006. It isn't a Nav. It has 46,600 miles, is in good condition and has had no accidents. Looking around on the car valuation sights i see values of :
 
Edmunds: 25,946 Private Party
KBB: 23,605 Private Party
Nada: 29,875 retail. 26,350 private party
 
I live in the NYC metro/NJ shore area and put it in:
Craigslist
Large Newspaper,
Autoshopper magazine
My company's buy sell rent sight
I am currently asking $25,500
 
I haven't had a single bite. What am i doing wrong? How do i unload this car? Shoudl i bother with carmax? are there other services?
I thought about trading in, but one dealer gave $22,000 and another gave $18,000 (2k less than KBB trade in. I was definitely insulted)
 
What gives? What should i do?

RX350 in Seattle, WA areas by liukevin

Hi,
 
Can anyone post their Lexus buying experiences in WA areas? I have seen lots of amazing deals in the East coast but not in the West. I live in Seattle and most quotes getting so far are not so good. Thanks for replying!
