Request an email quote from the Internet Dept. at Len Stoler Lexus of Owings Mills, MD. The Internet guy there has always given me the best pricing in the area. Good luck and let us know how you do. Thanks.

What is a processing fee-I have never heard of that?
 
I think the discount you received is mediocre. I doubt, however, on a new model you will be able to approach invoice at this timem but you might be able to get a better discount than you indicated.
 
Please let us know.

BMW reliability has improved lately. my 2007 328 has never had a problem in three years. I do hear not the first 3 years that are the problem!
 
Knock on wood....Either I am the only lucky one or other guys are so unlucky, my 2002 330Ci still runs like the first day I got it. Only a few minor problems like window regulator, a bad oxygen sensor, and oil level sensor I have had with my Bimmer for 7 years and the dealer took care of them under warranty.

Looks good to me. Club Lexus has price forum as well. Of course I went looking at the 3010 in FEB and drove the first one in town. When it came to price--maybe $500 off on a demo in a few weeks! That after 2 prior RX's. When a new car comes out the dealer gets all greedy as the new car fairy's go looking to buy the newest thing now. That said, I was not willing to pay MSRP. Now I see on some forums people getting 3-4k off easily. What one month in this economy will do. Wonder what these will cost late 2009? I bought a Venza instead as $27k vs $43 k for the same engine was hard to do. yes the Lexus is nicer of course. I will drive for a year then get a nice discounted front drive RX for less than $40k.
 
Keep posting these price offers. Plenty of people took the $500 discount early on but they do not post once someone brags about $3k off. That is a lot of money. Family cruise. Year of gas etc etc..

the caution is that this is just a blog and you never know who got what.
 
My dealer explained it simply. If no inventory we are crazy to give it away--if you see inventory on the lot you can deal. The law of supply and demand wins out every time.
 
Another way to save on the car--you could have shorted TM stock--shorting 1000 shares in sept last year would have resulted in a 25k gain.
 
the stock market works the same as cars on a lot--supply and demand. You should buy when everybody is selling and vice versa.

Pricing from San Diego by smr36

I made preliminary inquiry w/ N. San Diego dealer asking for more than a $3k discount from MSRP. I was told to wait a few months. No such discounts available now. I'll check back in July.

If no one was willing to buy at list (many dealers sold the RX before they were even available at MSRP) then the price would go down. In Feb there was 0 discount, now a few thousand dollars off. What is considrred a reasonable price to pay over invoice? I think from invoice to MSRP there is about $5000.
 
I also doubt Lexus will provide any type of rebate or marketing support.
 
I hope others who purchased will let the rest of us know the discount obtained.

Hello all,
Here's the update. After the dealer principal called, and the general manager followed up... I got a lot of fake apology and the deal for $42,700 before taxes and fees (the MSRP was $47,091). The ports are only opened every other week, so the car I was supposed to get on Saturday arrived today, they called me, cleaned it up and I got home about around 10. While I paid $700 more than I argued for, I got the car that I wanted... I guess I'm not so tough after all! Well, yes I am...my brothers told me I was getting a good deal and to not press my luck! So there you have it, the power of the pen does work.
 
Thanks to the reader who suggested I contact corporate. I think that struck a nerve!
 
Good luck everyone on your next vehicle endeavor. Take care, 2010 RX350 owner.

Hi Md_outback;
 
I took your advice and reached out to Len Stoler after my deal didn't go through on Saturday. You know I requested a price inquiry from these folks on Monday.... it's been almost a week, and no one contacted me. I was not liking that at all.

I like the new Maxima, but the RX stole my heart!!!! I cannot complain much about my '06 Max except I put the wrong type of gas in it in the beginning and it has stunk to high-heaven every since. I've been waiting to throw this car back to the dealer and let them figure out how to fix the smell when you excelerate up a hill or on the straight away. It smells like really-rotten eggs or sulfur. Well, tomorrow, it goest back and I don't have to worry no more!
