It must be something in the air... The Lexus dealership I visited last month contacted me today ~ something about inventory is building up and they expect to have some great specials for April ~ yahda, yahda, yahda! I told him he must have not been there when I came in February. Whatever...I'm not bending on my price!
 
FYI, the Audi dealership I visited over the weekend is open on Sundays!!! There aren't too many dealers open on Sunday...but for those who are, I say sell, sell, sell!

It's funny because I think the interior looks better in person than in pictures, whereas, the exterior looks better in pictures than in person. While I'm not sure if the interior looks as good as the previous gen. RX, I don't have a problem with it.
 
By the way, on the Q5, the ones I saw on the lot only had the 18 inch wheels on them, so they probably didn't have the Prestige
package, but possibly were Premium Plus. But I still didn't see where the ignition was located. I certainly didn't see it on the stalk by the steering wheel.

When the dealer contacted me on Sunday and told me the same thing-I asked what are the specials and was told about $4000 off list.
 
A lot of dealers are open on Sunday with minimal staff.At oen point some were even doing service, but no longer.

Looking forward to the update. As I mentioned earlier, dealers do not want any negative comments to Lexus Corporate.
 
Thanks for keeping us ins the loop.

Hi Maximafan,
 
I'm actually ending my lease with my 06 maxima to get the RX350.
 
Ok, the Q5 did not have push button start. They had this neat key-fob that fits into the side (not like a regular key though). I'm not sure if the Prestige S offers it, but the Premium and Premium Plus that I've seen did (or does not). The dealership in VA is willing to get a red one up here for me to see, but I'm very partial to the RX350.
 
As far as the RX350, I like the 2010 best. I prefer the layout of the Q5's interior to the RX350, but the RX350 has the nav, push button start, heatiing and cooling seats and remote engine starter that I like. Small details, but they make a difference. The Q5 has the all glass roof (panoramic, that is) that's just amazing!
 
Looked up the Venza (liked it at the autoshow), however, with all my options I was at $39K, come on ~ that's not gonna happen. I'll take my chances haggling down the Lexus folks before I spend that on a Toyota (RX350 wannabe). I too like the memory seats.

Hi,
I can appreciate the honesty of a salesperson. I'm famous for writing in letters, so if someone didn't disclose that information... I would have written a letter to the dealer.
 
I'm known for doing my research on everything I want to buy. I used my credit union's services, United Buying Service, stopping by different dealers and word of mouth. I reasearched the BMW for 2 years, until I feel in like with the Lexus. I've been doing my research with Lexus for 2 months and with the help of this forum, am well equipped to get what I want from a dealer. I can haggle with the best of them! I come with my financing in hand, so there isn't much I'm willing to give up out of my own pocket (i.e., $1,000 is my max, but it has to be the last resort).
 
BTW ~ yes, I'm a mom with three girls! This will be my first Lex.

I own an older RX and really like it, but want to trade as the newer vehicle has many options that appeal to me, and my present vehicle has about 100,000 miles on it.
 
Keep in mind when you talk about pricing many dealers add over $200 documentation fee.

Purchased a 2009 RX 350 from Sewell Lexus last month after shopping all four Lexus dealers in the Metroplex. Paid $33,500 +ttl. Options include premium package, power rear door, heated seats, pinstripe & tint.
 
Wife loves the car. thought this was a pretty good price. Inventory on these models is getting tight, I think we may have gotten the last Brandywine in DFW.

LOL! As you can see from my screename, My3grlz, I also had
a 2002 Nissan Maxima which was totalled in an accident on the last year of my lease. Thus, I ended up getting an '07 RX350.
 
I loved the power of the Maxima, but I really have enjoyed the RX
also. It has a beautful interior and all the little goodies that I like,
although I didn't get the navigation model. Although I've got my
eye on the Q5(scared of Audi reliability issues) and also am eyeing the 2010 RX, I haven't ruled out buying my '07 RX after my lease ends. I'm a bit attached to this car.

I know bmw reliability is bad, but also Audi? I haven't read much about Audi, but since you mentioned, I guess it is a risky buy.
 
Have you tested the Q5? It is nice looking, with great interior.
