This is weird. I dont think there is any such policy. I bought mine in March. I have a lexus dealership approx 3-4 miles from my house. However I drove up about 40 miles because the other dealership was giving me a better price. When I was making a deal the dealer told me that they knew where I live (based on my driving license) and they wanted to sell me a car. Because if I had left from thr without buying they knew I would buy from the dealership closer to my home. They wanted to compete with the other dealership.

I have emailed couple of out of state dealerships asking for a quote and none of them replied back. I figured they must have a policy about not selling to out of state customers. I wonder if they will sell it to you if you go to the dealership directly or put a different zip when you request the quote so they won't think you are out of state.

Bad Experience with Lexus by joe767

I've been dreaming about owning an RX10 for 5 months and finally ready to make a deal at my local dealership( Lexus of Lehigh Valley) Allentown PA. I was very surprise to find out that the model I want is nowhere to be found. I wanted it all, the Heads up display, dynamic cruise control and park assist. The only way I found out to get this car was to order from the manufacture. After building the car with the sales man the MSRP was 54K I offered 50K and they basically through me out of the dealership. I called back the next day to ask if they will take the park assist off and 50K. Now I understand the unwillingness to help me because demand is strong for the RX. I've dreamt for months about the day I can pickup my SUV. After 2 days of my calls not being returned from the salesman I've given up on my RX10 dream and we and test drove the 2009 Acura TL and well I'm about to be an Acura owner. I even went as far as calling Lexus headquarters in CA and was told well the dealerships are independently owned so we can't help you. I'm very disappointed with my experience with Lexus and wish you all the best, I've read this forum for months about the RX but it's over. Thanks

For what it's worth I purchased a 2010 with nav, etc., etc., taking the msrp to just under $47K. Requested quote over the internet. Got a call the next day and negotiated the deal to just under $42K. Told salesman I wanted no back and forth. Told him I was willing to pay $41K and we agreed to just over that. They also gave me a little off finanacing I had already been approved for. Emailed me the sales agreement, held it for me until Saturday with a deposit. I picked it up and was gone in around an hour. There were no unexpected costs at pick up and they don't have a finance department you have to escape from that tries to sell you extra warranties, etc. Easiest transaction ever. I had already gotten poor treatment and no negotiations from Lehigh Valley and Thompson in PA. It was well worth the 90 minute drive.

sideways3 I mentioned your deal to Freehold Catena and they said no way possible they could sell the car for under their invoice of $42,639
 
I emailed you previously to ask if you can advise who you dealt with at Oakhurst Catena because it looks lIke I am going to go back to that Catena dealer Freehold is not under $44 for the car you bought
 
thanks

chrisny, I live in Staten Island too. We went to Ray Catena this afternoon. With base and premium package, the dealer only agreed for $39,100. I have not taken the deal.

Purchased RX350 from Lexus of Smithtown last week and the experience was fantastic. The price I know is what everyone wants to know...my RX had the Premium Pkg, Comfort Pkg, Nav, upgraded speakers, remote start and tow hitch and ball installed, MSRP $49,750 Price Paid $44,250. The dealership was friendly and professional. Received 1st class treatment from salesperson to finance person.
