Need help in Charlotte, NC area by jkenley

I've been hearing of the wonderful deals people are getting on the 09 RX 350. Went to our local dealership today and they wanted $600/mo, 48 month lease on a 09 with 2ed prem. plus package. List was $43, selling it to us for around $39.5. Compared to what I've been seeing on this site, this is no deal at all and we are current Lexus owners.
 
Any advice? This dealership won't budge. I even told the sales guy that some people are getting pmts of $450/mo with more than just the prem. plus package. Thanks!

I have been negotiating for the past 7h45m with no less than 14 (!!!) dealerships in TN, KY, AL, and GA. I'm also looking for a prem. plus package, no nav. Most dealerships only have base package or nav - that's why you're getting the high quote. Also could be the color you want.
 
Call around - don't rely on just your local dealership. Be firm. When the 2010's come out in Mar/Apr, there will be leftover 09 inventory that they'll be giving away, if you can wait. Several dealers encouraged me to wait until then (and these were even dealers that had the car I wanted). Good luck!!!

Hi, Tranav,
Thank you so much for the info.
Joe Ruiz and Frank Mao at Tustin agreed to match the $7500 off non-Navi,
Try them if you want one w/o navi in the next 5 days.
  
Gil at Santa Monica offered $7500 off a Navigation RX350 in stock. (Told me the non-navis sold out. Maybe it's true.)
 
Then I tried my luck with the quote at AL and South-East states. They do $6500 off $42K only.
I'll wait several days and see. It is buyer's market for sure.
 
Any idea about buy from Tustin and pick up at other state (non-Tustin's stock)?
 
Thank u for all your input.

You're welcome bill_09,
In message #1739, I did mention that I've bought one with $7700 off since Santa Monica went out of color that I wanted. So I had another $200 off on top of $7500.
Yes it's true that Santa Monica has no more Non-nav left Since Santa Monica had only one Non-nav left on late Sun 12/28/08 when I left there. But there were a few buyers still negotiating there on Sun night.
 
In msg #1749, I gave you "Frank Mao words to match $7500 off offered I had". That's why I know he will match that's price to you.
 
It sounds like you're NOT from SoCal. I think SoCal Lexus dealers now have very few RX350 left (Santa Monica and Newport have less than 10) they will not likely do dealer trade. But you can always try to ask Tustin Lexus to deliver to your home town in your state. Good luck,

Just bought the AWD 2009 RX with Nav. MSRP $46.6. Out the door paid $39K. Color selection has gotten tighter here. Dealer claims Lexus has moved a ton of RXs in the last 4 weeks and financing deals may end on 1-5, for whatever that might be worth. happy hunting out there>

Thanks. I will definately shop other dealers. Hendrick Lexus has the attitude that if you can't afford the car, someone else can so they aren't going to bother. Very pretentious. For us, it's a matter of getting relatively the same deals others are getting. Why pay more when you don't have to. I understand deals are regional but being this far off is rediculous.

Just leased a Lexus..2009 RX 350 AWD Premium Plus with navigation, 18 inch wheels, heated seats, automatic wipers..MSRP of around $46,100. Ended up paying $2,747.00 total due at inception (includes everything...cap cost, tax, title registration etc.) and my monthly payment is $402.00/month, which includes the 5% sales tax in Massachusetts. Also got them to throw in all weather mats and a rubber mat for the cargo area. Lease is 36/12K. I think I got a pretty good deal.

I think you got a very good deal! Who was this from, just out of interest?
 
We paid $1,600 out of pocket and $450 a month on the same car in the same area, so you did about $700 better. I honestly would not have thought the extra money was there. Congrats.

Jers, what a wonderful deal! Now that's the kind of deals I've been hearing about that Hendrick Lexus down in Charlotte, NC won't even come close to. They wanted $600 a month for a lesser car, no nav. I've already put in requests at other dealerships in the state and I'm not afraid to go out of state either. I wonder if your dealer will sell and ship out of state?
 
Congrats on your deal.
