Extended Warranty by pschiffe

Personally, I'd pass on the extended warranty. Big money maker for the dealers, no need whatever on a Lexus IMHO.

Chicagoland? by csk2

Anyone have any information on prices in Chicagoland? I'm probably going to pick up an RX350 awd this weekend. I'm looking at getting one with the Premium Package Luxury Value Edition with additional options that seem to be equipped on models shipped to the Midwest: heated seats, rain sensing wipers, headlight washers, wheel locks, cargo mat, and towing prep. MSRP is around $41,700 and so far without very much negotiating I've received prices inbetween $37,900 to $38,500. I'm hoping to end up around $37,000.

I'm looking at the 350 FWD in south florida. Can you tell me what you paid here? I'm just looking at the premium package.
 
thanks

Yesterday I was able to get a dealer to Invoice + $1500, on any RX 350 they have. Have not closed, wondering if this is about as good as it gets.
 
This was in Seattle area.
 
Thanks.

Pete,
 
I was wondering how is your test with 87 gas?
 
I noticed that the rust protection underneath the car does not cover all area like my honda accord. Quite a lot of spaces are not covered such as the gas tank (covered with plastic only), the center, and the main metal support.
 
Is this because of FWD? how about yours?
 
The tire is goodyear not michilean in my RX350.

doctas, the MSRP on my model RX350 was $40,000
for the premium model at Lexus of Tampa Bay. The selling price was $37,000. This includes the rain-sensing wipers, 18in. wheels, the tow prep and I believe some other small items, although I can't remember off the top of my head what the other items are. This model does not have heated seats. This seems to be a regional thing for FWD premium RX350s in the southeast region or in Florida.
 
Now, my car was purchased back in August, so
I would think you could get an even better price on the premium RX350, or maybe the
"December to Remember" event will offer even
better pricing than what I paid. Good luck
shopping for your RX. It's a wonderful car!
 
P.S. I sort of wish I could have purchased my
car in December so I could request a big red
bow to put on top of it! (LOL!) Oh, well.
I couldn't wait that long since I didn't have
a vehicle due to my Maxima getting totalled in
an accident. The RX350 cabin is definitely a nice place to be!!!

07 RX350 in NJ by khu

Thank this site for helping me on my recent RX350 purchase.
I closed my deal last night. My new RX350 is AWD, Premium plus, with Nav. List price is $45706. My purchase price is $40,500, including destination.(Tax, doc, are extra). It may not THE lowest price in this site. I am very happy about it. I drove the new back home last night. It is a wonderful car. I got the car from Lexus Bridgewater on Rt 22.
Now I need to trade-in my old explorer. My question is: how to get a best trade-in value for my old? MY old is in very good condition.

I was at the exact same place last night too. I just purchased the exact same vehicle for $40,700 last night too. So, you really got a good deal.
I am also trying to decide what to do with my old car, a Volvo which I just took to find out what is wrong with it.
Turns out its the drive shaft. If you get an answer to your question would you please also let me know.
Thanks.

RX350 FWD in Southeast by rho72

Just placed a deposit in TN on a RX350 FWD SUV level 3 package with navigation/premium plus/18 in wheels/rain sensing wipers with heated seats/towing prep/wheel locks/cargo mat (MSRP $44,306; invoice $39,045). Negotiated price was just under invoice at $39,000. Will be picking up the car this weekend.
 
The board was very helpful. I'm not sure why but the pricing in the south and southeast is not as aggressive as the rest of the country, especially southern CA. But, I was able to get under invoice with some diligence and patience. Contacted dealers in TN, AL, GA, NC and KY. Closed deal at the end of the month; got the car in TN, about 2.5 hr from where we live. The best prices in the southeast I had seen prior to this were about $1000 over invoice.
 
Thanks to everyone for posting about their experiences. It really helps.

Charles,
 
  • Mileage with 87 octane is apparently 21.9 mpg whereas with 93 octane it was 19.8; I have no explanation for this.

  • I have not had an opportunity to examine the undercarriage so I can't say what areas have "rust protection".

  • My tires are Michelin® Energy LX4® 225/65R17.
