It is very likely that the New England region along with the New York region are not bringing in those vehicles. They are only coming in as premium plus w/o nav and premium plus with nav. However, if you are willing to travel to Cleveland OH area, you can get the premium package with the heated seats, and they are in stock. They also come with the regular halogen headlamps and the standard 17" wheels. They are in the Midwest region and they are configured differently for that region. Good Luck!

The more acurate way is to know the invoice price for the car with all options/packages and then compare the sale price with the invoice. The best sites for invoice are Costcoauto and kelly blue book. (was wondering if the MSRP is the same on the window of the car in different dealer's lot???)
 
E.g. RX350 FWD with /premium plus package/heated seats with Rain-sens wipers and headlamp washers/18" tire/wheel lock/cargo mat/ -- Inovice from both KBB and Costcoauto is $36,692 (destination included)and MSRP is $41496.
 
The best price so far I got for FWD is $35,550 (destination included. Extra includes $60 document fee. You have to pay, of course, tax) and $36,900 for AWD with the same options. That is more than $1100 below invoice.
 
Without knowing your final price and cars with what kind of options/packages, it is hard to judge the deal. Here are a couple of problems for your approach:
 
1. a $5000 off the MSRP for a RX350 FWD base model with the least added options/packages is a MUCH MUCH better deal than a fully loaded AWD one.
 
2. Your calculation is OK ONLY for RX350 with big PRICE gap between invoice and MRSP.
 
Then what is your final price and what options for your car?

    Most RX350s that we have here are either with Premium Plus Package and with or without Navigation system. You can special order some packages or options (preformance, Mark Levinson, etc), but it takes up to months for one. I just bought mine (AWD, Navi, with Premium Plus) about month ago here in MA.

    Greetings! I've been looking at the 350. Live in Norfolk, VA- only one Lexus dealer nearby, but can travel to Richmond, DC-area. I understand only the AWD with premium plus package (with our without nav system) is available in the east- is that what others find too? For pricing, MSRP on is $43. What would be a good price to offer? I was thinking about $37-38?
    Thanks.

    It looks like the configurations for the RX are
    a little different down here in the South, Florida, that is. Most of the RX's in stock at
    the Lexus of Tampa Bay dealer come with the
    premium package with a few little extras such
    as 18in. wheels, wood steering wheel/shifter,
    no heated seats; does have rain-sensing wipers.
     
    I bought my '07 RX in August. It has just the
    premium package with the above items added.
