Replying to: MrChicago (Jan 20, 2009 2:21 pm) I think this is the best time for you to buy since I never seen Lexus offers 5K to dealers. I bought mine 09 RX350 FWD without Nav in SoCal (LA and OC counties) back in late Dec 08 with only $2.5 cash back to dealers and I got about $3K under the invoice but I had 0.9 % financing. and I thought I had a very good deal since there are 14 Lexus Dealers in SoCal area and the inventory running low when I bought on 12/28/08 (about more than 20 Rx350 left in my dealer). In Mar, with 2010 RX350, Lexus will sell it close to sticker price, since Toyota Venza right now they are selling at full price here in SoCal. Any way this is just my opinion. Good luck |

5K below Invoice?? Do you think they will ship to New York? I've been trying to get quotes on this car from various NY dealers but I am not getting anywhere near the same prices I'm seeing online. If I could get it even 3K below invoice I would buy asap. The supply in the North East is just more limited from what I understand. Which totally sucks. I was wondering if anyone had experiences of buying a car in New Jersey when living in New York. Pros and Cons? I've heard some service horror stories when bringing a car in for service at a dealer you did not buy the car from. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Replying to: mpw215 (Jan 21, 2009 9:13 pm) You should ask the dealer about the certificate to see if they will accept it. |

Replying to: jkenley (Jan 20, 2009 8:07 pm) Thanks to all who responded to my question and apologies for the slow response. I am probably going to make a trip to the dealership this weekend to see if I can nail down that 5K below invoice price. I've been doing some more research and interestingly, I've gotten varying invoice prices from several websites. With the same set of option, Edmunds has an invoice price of around 37,200, while other websites show $38,100. It's a noticeable difference and both invoice prices include an $825 destination charge. I think the higher $38,100 invoice price might include some fees that are specific to the Chicago area (like advertising fees), but if anyone could help speculate as to why there's a $900 difference, that would be helpful. Honestly, I'm still a little skeptical about this deal because it does seem to be the best price I've seen so far - once I get closer to finalizing things and actually getting those keys in my hand, I'd be happy to report back and email you guys dealership info/salesperson info, etc. Thanks

Doing some research and was able to figure out the following: Most car companies include their holdback in their invoice price of the car. For some reason (money!) all of the Lexus dealers I spoke with add the 2% holdback to the invoice price. They don't/can't give that money up. Also, there are specifically equipped vehicles in certain regions so I found add-ins for wheel locks. cargo mat, etc. More $$ for them but standard for the area. I probably wouldn't order that way but I'm fine with those things in there. So I would first make sure you know the exact MSRP and make sure it matches the Edmund's MSRP. Then I would get the exact invoice with those options on Edmunds and try adding in 2% for the holdback and see if you get close to their number. I don't like it but that appears to be the way it is. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Hope that helps! Jay |
