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 |

Hi everyone. Just wanted to thank you all for the help. I bought my FWD RX 350 last night with FV, wheel locks, Premium pckge and Cargo mat. MRSP is 40,551. Invoice is 36,885. I negotiated 31,500. The internet sales person was nice, made it a easy process. For those insterested, email me privately and I'll give you the dealer and the name of the person who helped me (Fleet). Thanks.
