Just talked to the salesperson. He said he would come down to $37,200. I wanted $34,445 which would put me OTD for $39,000 even. He said that was about $200 below his cost. (for what that's worth) I may just do it as I would prefer to make my wife happy - at this point a couple of hundred dollars isn't going to make me or break me and it seems to be a pretty decent deal. I told him I wanted to wait until we were approved for the VISA to earn $500 Lexus credit. Will keep you posted. I'll probably commit to the price this afternoon. Thanks to all users for your valuable input!

Oops! I meant to say that my target was $36,445 which would give me $39,000 OTD. (note to self - proof read numbers before posting, duh)

Whether you go w/ Park Place or Sewell, they are both good places and you can't go wrong. I'm surprised that PP told you that they don't give you a loaner for oil change though. They do. You might not get a Lexus loaner, but they do. But, when it comes to changing fluid, I do them myself. That's just me. When we started out, we looked at both a demo '07 (250 miles) and a '06 with less than 1000 miles. We ended up picking a new '07 for the very same reason, more bang for the bucks.

I should say is there any limit on the bonus points that you can earn. Other credit companies would set a limit like $500 bonus cash or 50,000 bonus miles.

When I spoke to Lexus rep, she said that there is no limit on bonus points that you can earn. There is a cap that will be applied if you want to use it to purchase a new car. And the points are only good up to 6 years. However, I'm sure there is limit on the bonus points hidden somewhere. I don't think the average user would ever reach it.

37.2 is not bad, considering the fact that the $900 deduction just went away. Keep in mind that you will get a $500 bonus and a potential $250 more if you use your card towards your payment. I probably bounce that number back to the other dealer to see what happen. We don't usually pay much attention to "below cost". They make money with hidden incentives and hold backs that we consumers don't know.

I think I'm going to tell him that I'll commit for $37,000 even. I like that number better. I know about holdback, floor plan fees, etc., but I didn't push the issue since the guy has been real straight up with me from the beginning. My sister-in-law and cousin are considering a Lexus and I'll highly recommend my salesperson.

Pete,
I also live in buffalo area and looking for a RX350 or a used RX330. Do you think the FWD is OK for the winter?

Yes Charles, I do. My previous one was a 1999 RX300 with FWD and Trac so I had no hesitation at all about ordering a second one the same way. Previous to that I drove various 4x4s for about 25 years. E-mail me if you would like the name of my salesperson at Dorschel in Rochester, Northtown has let me "walk" twice now!

DO NOT GET FWD IF YOU LIVE IN THE BUFFALO AREA! If you're going to BUY the car, you'll also get a better resale value when you go to sell the vehicle with AWD.
I live in San Diego now and will be purchasing the FWD model. I used to live in Ithaca, NY and four wheel drive saved my life.
