I got a 2010 RX 350 with Premium pkg. No Nav. Final price (with $395 dealer tint) was $40,500  Westside Lexus. Houston's economy hasn't been hit hard like most of the country so I guess demand is still up as well as prices compared to some of the other posts I have read. |

I think there are a couple reasons they did not accept your offer : one, if you do special order, then it is much more work and hassels for the dealer, so they are less likely to sell. My suggestion to you is to be patient and wait a couple more months. I have been told that Lexus is about to have more new RX's with more options. Once these options are available, they will be more willing to negotiate and I think you can get it for less than 50k. Second, i think you have ONE bad lexus dealer. I suggest you go to another dealer and go directly to the Internet Dept. I also want certain options on my RX and I was told they are not making that combination yet (at least not in my region), but they are coming soon. So I am waiting. while Acura TL is a good and reliable car, I think the Lexus drive much smoother. good luck.

I am from Orange county of CA. and I am looking for a new RX with Nav, comfort, premium, park assist and wood trim. Can anyone tell me which dealer you recommend for this area ? what kind of prices can i expect for this combination? also if someone can tell me what benefits do 19" wheels offer compared to 18" ?? I just dont want to pay extra for 19" wheel and it will cost me more later to replace the tires ... thanks '

Replying to: si2009 (Jun 27, 2009 6:59 pm) I agree with you with walking away on that deal, you can do better as can be seen on this site by other consumers. I am going to take a trip out to Oakhurst with my friend this month to see how well they will negotiate if you want to join in for a group deal of 3 truck sales I will be happy to let you know when we plan to go ? Did you mention Joe's deal when you went ? If so what response did they give you ? I brought sideways3 deal with me to Freehold and they said no way possible and since they could not confirm the deal they would not come close to that number of 41.2K also you can always wait out until August when they are looking to bring in the 2011 and sitting on these trucks

I am on the verge of wiring funds for a new Lexus to an out of state dealer, when he tries to pull out of the deal we've agreed to. He cites Lexus corporate policy to not sell to clients from other states. He says the reason is that Lexus wants clients to have the "Lexus Experience" and pick up new cars from the dealer, rather than buying and shipping. If this is true, then the "Lexus Experience" stinks. I can only get the configuration I want from out of state. I can’t believe that Lexus’s focus on customer service would mean that a customer couldn’t get the car he wants. The “Lexus Experience” has got to be better than Ford’s old “you’ll get what you want as long as its black.” Have you experienced this? Is Lexus corporate forcing their dealers to not serve distant clients? Or maybe my dealer got cold feet? Thanks. |

Replying to: lw914 (Jun 26, 2009 5:20 am) I showed him carsdirect.com and told him I could get the car for $43.500. He went back and forth a few times and settled at $43,000 even. That's around $1,200 over invoice but had to relent because this is a new year model and this package was hard to come by apparently. I called a few dealers in the area and no one had the color/.package combo I wanted. So I think $42,282 is a good deal. Maybe you should tell him you would settle for $42,500 and that's your final offer. Oftentimes I would tell them that and walk away, only to have them call me back the next day. You should try that since the month is almost over. I am a paitent man and number conscious (being a CPA). I would have waited till December if it wasn't the baby that's coming. $41k is an impossible price for that pacakge. That's around invoice and Lexus will not sell a brand new model around that price. Despite the economy brand new models are still expensive and RX is one of their best selling models. You could ask for $500 over invoice for an IS, since those cars are EVERYWHERE and the newness factor is gone. I still recall Lexus asking near MSRP when the IS first came out. In short your deal is fine. Dealer now know people do online research and they appear to have some type of collusion going where they all quote the exact same price. This happened with BMW. They all offered me a "final" price that was exactly the same. Sorry to ramble but I hoped I helped. Love the Lexus. Hate the buying experience.
