Trade value is not bad in this market. Of course take $5,000 off the trade to see the actual cash value of your trade. I found that walking into a dealer who has never laid eyes on you before can yield a better deal. I think you could sell it for way more if you had time.
 
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)--

Have you taken possession so you can share the name of the dealership, etc? Also, what was the difference between the high and low offers.
 
Thank you in advance.

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)

remote start on 2010 rx. by tyler70

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

Yes that is true for the remote starter. Once you touch the door handle the car engine will turn off. That is a safety feature built in. I have another car that has a remote starter and that turns off as soon as you touch either the brake or the gas pedal.
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?

In cold weather areas, people like to start the car before getting into it so the vehicle will not be ice cold when first starting out on a trip.
