I've been dealing with the same Lexus dealership since I traded in my ES300 for the 2000 RX300. Since then I traded in my 2000 for a 2003 RX300 and then traded it for the 2005 Rx300. Now I'm ready to trade my 2005 for the 2010 RX350 for delivery in June. One thing I've noticed is the "discount" to me is not as good as I been able to get in the past deals. Of course I always have bought at the end of the product year rather then at the begining of the year. I've also noticed my trade-in is not as good as in the past even though the mileage at trade for my RXs has been under 40,000 miles and the cars have been still under warranty. Of course the price of the car has gone up with each year. Now for what I'm getting. RX350 FWD Base Price $36,800 Total Accessories $ 8,672 Comfort Package 19" Alum Wheels 12 - Speaker Audio Navigation Sys Intuitive Parking Assist Premium Package Wood & Leather Trim Cargo Mat Wheel Lock Cargo Net TOTAL Destination $875 Total $46,347 Trade in allowance $19,000 Cost $27,347 There doesn't seem to be any deals here.

Replying to: wrahn (May 27, 2009 8:50 am) Obviously, new RX is highly discounted now. Would leasing have cost you more or less based on your trade in experience? I once hated leasing but if MF is reasonable and residual is high --it protects against a bad market. For instance my 2007 BMW 328i was a 36k mile/3 yr lease. MSRP was $40k, sale price $38k and residual value is $26k--in one more year. I see 2007 BMW's like mine going for $27k now with 20,000 miles. Obviously I will not buy it for residual nor will BMW sell it for that much. Their loss in this case. RX 350 residual is 59% (compare to MDX 51% now)-- |

Hi everyone, I was told by a dealership that the luxury package is only with the navigation package. Is this true? I didn't see it on Edmunds or the Lexus build your vehicle site. I also told the dealer I am not sure if I want heated/cooled seats and his response was "all 2010 rx 350 are equipped with them." True or false? Anyone in the pa/de/md/nj area interested in doing a multi purchase. I did see some posts last fall where a few people did that. I inquired about it and the dealership kept upping the amount by a few hundred dollars. He stated the contact person for the group was confused on the figures. I am ready to purchase. I just would stay away from that dealership(Lexus of Chester Springs)

can anyone answer this for me.? I saw on one of the RX review that when you "remote start" this vehicle, the engine will turn off when you open the door. is this true? my second question if if anyone has seen the the intuitive park assist comes as a "stand alone" feature or it only comes in a package. On Edmunds I see it comes as a "stand alone" feature, but then I went to the dealer, they said currently it only comes in with a package. I have been watching the prices on this veh and dont see the prices go down much. I am not in a rush to buy one, but I like to get it by the end of the month. any suggestion when the best time to buy this veh ? thanks

Replying to: tyler70 (Jun 05, 2009 12:29 am) About the park assist, I think you should be able to get it as a standalone feature, but dont quote me on it. I had spoken to a dealer and he had told me that with the 2010 RX you can pretty much buy any feature individually unlike the older versions. And I think buying towards the end of teh month always helps. Because the dealers are eager to meet their targets and generally will honor a decent offer. |

What is the reason to have a remote start? Why would I want the car to start if I'm not in it? Anyone have RX sales figures for for April and May?
