Replying to: emmdeejay (Jul 03, 2009 12:56 pm) How do you compare your previous RX vehicles with the redesigned 2010? I am driving a 2001, works great, and I am debating if I want to purchase a 2010.   Also, what was the MSRP and final price, excluding taxes, fees etc of your new vehicke.?   Thank you.

Replying to: degirl (Jul 03, 2009 6:06 am) Hi, degirl and chrisny   I have wood steering. Mine is black. I love it. The salesman/dealership were very nice and helpful. I worked with SS. He even helped me setup my phone-pairing function. I love that feature. He also helped me get better loan rates. Great experience with them! I called other dealers. Freehold's offer is the best one I could get. I sold my old car on last Saturday. Actually I was in a rush to get a new car. So I end up delivering my old car and getting my new car in NJ at the same day! Replies to this message: chrisny (Jul 08, 2009 7:48 am)

Replying to: rparis (Jul 03, 2009 3:02 pm) My first RX was an '04 and I found the car to be reliable, comfortable, predictable and not very exciting. I was coming out of a BMW X-5 which is much more truck-like. I really never considered any thing else to replace the '04 but the new iteration of the RX. I liked the look, the nav system was upgraded and, again, the car proved to be highly reliable, excellent on gas mileage (for such a large vehicle), comforatlbe, predictable...and not very exciting. Coming to the end of my lease I looked seriously at the M-B 350GLK, the Volvo XC60 and the Audi Q-5. I loved the Q-5, liked the Volvo and was not very excited about the M-B. I drove the 2010 RX and noticed that it was larger (higher ,longer, wider), offered a firmer yet still comfortable ride, was a great deal more responsive in handling, and generally more exciting. I got in on the RX lease retention program and pulled the trigger. I'm glad I did. The new interface with nav, audio, climate, etc. is nothing short of brilliant. The interior is well laid out and I find it attractive. Gas mileage has improved slightly and so has accelleration. I like the 55/80 cubes of available cargo, highest in class, and the new more masculine look. I have no reason to expect anything less than the mechanically reliable Lexus experience. As to the finances, MSRP was $47,100 with Comfort, Premium, Premium Audio,Nav, Tow Prep, Wood steering/shift knob, cargo net, remote start and wheel locks. Final agreed upon cap cost was $44,052. 36/12,000 lease at $614. Replies to this message: rparis (Jul 04, 2009 6:46 pm)

Replying to: si2009 (Jul 02, 2009 3:40 pm) Hi si 2009   When I built your car on Edmunds site the MSRP was 44,393 and that does not include the cargo mat,cargo net and wheel locks. Those would increas the MSRP to 44,618. Any idea why the difference ? Also where there any dealer fees in addition to taxes,tags, and registration?   Thanks again

#2633 of 3020 Bought RX 350 in Pittsburgh by fcube Jul 06, 2009 (12:22 pm)
Got $2750 off of vehicle with MSRP of $47,266. Could have done better in a larger market but no one else had Park Assist and wouldn't have had "Lexus Experience". Vehicle had comfort, premium, nav. Also, was in a hurry. Nice vehicle so far, but lots of gizmos! Thanks to all that posted...big help. Know I didn't get the best price possible but feel I acted with more understanding of what was possible than otherwise would have been possible without this forum. One lingering question I have is just what dealer cost really is. Various sites cite different amounts including a $14 report I ordered from Consumer reports which shows over $6k including $700 holdback. Lowest shown was about $4k. Many showed about $5500. Happy shopping and good luck.

Replying to: kermitfrog (Jul 01, 2009 3:00 pm) Hi, I'm in WA state too and I've been looking to purchase a 2010 RX 350 and was considering purchasing it in CA and driving it back. Please send me your contact info or if you could send the dealer's info I'd appreciate it very much! Thank you!
#2635 of 3020 Finally got a decent deal by czar8878 Jul 06, 2009 (7:30 pm)
Thanks to people who contributed their experience. Greatly helped me with negotiating my new purchase. Bought the 2010 RX350 last Saturday with AWD, Nav, Premium Pkg, Comfort Pkg, Wood & Leather, 12 speaker premium audio for Nav, Tow Prep Pkg, cargo, wood knob, remote starter for $42,350. MSRP was $47.2K (minus the remote starter was $46,825), I had offered $42K (minus the remote starter) to three different dealers in central NJ and no one came back with an offer except Ray Catena in Oakhurst. Great guys to work with, had the selection to chose the colors (got black and black). Everything was done over tthe internet/phone so by the time I got there, car was ready to be picked up. Highly recommend this dealership. Replies to this message: fireman19 (Jul 08, 2009 6:38 pm) czar8878 (Jul 17, 2009 6:18 pm)
