..did you read the small print?.....there must something there that gives them a way out...the old adage..."if it sounds to good to be true...it is"...come on.....do you think that after getting $400 over invoice you were going to get an additional $2500 off?....
Good luck to you....

Yes, see my earlier post. Got it in one of NJ dealerships end of september.
2010 RX350 AWD w/Navi, Comfort pkg. MSRP $47,407.
Sales price was about $42,300, i.e. ~5k below MSRP.
This is still slightly over Edmund's invoice, but that does not include advertisising fees etc. I am still not clear what the actual "dealer cost" is, but from what I can tell this was a pretty good price. Wonder if anyone did even better in this area?

Buying a 2010 350RX in S.W. Virginia-No Lexus dealerships in city by burgundy2

Hello everyone on this board. I am in Roanoke, Va. Looking for a 2010 350RX with premium package, comfort package, navigation, tow, wood & leather and running daytime lights. Roanoke has 2 dealerships but are not a LEXUS Dealership. Theses dealerships carry 2010 350 RX but they receive their Lexus Cars from Greensboro, Winston-Salem and Kennersville, North Carolina. My better half says that the Roanoke dealerships will not budge from the MSRP and that I will not obtain a car at invoice or less than 3 thousands from MSRP. Everyone on this board seems to be obtaining an awesome deal. My question is can I negotiate a better price through the internet and a phone call to North Carolina Dealerships or do I need to travel to North Carolina to negotiate a deal with a Lexus Dealership? I don't want to pay full MSRP. Looking forward to everyone's comments and suggestions. Burgundy2

Deereguy,
Hello!
Did you negotiate your deal for your 2010 350 RX at the Lexus Dealership or Did you call direct at the dealership or negotiated by the internet to the Raleigh Lexus Dealership? I guess I don't want to drive 200 miles to negotiate. Looking forward to your reply.

I've used this site's methodology to negotiate the purchase of four cars. I've gotten a few under invoice, though I haven't used the method on a Lexus.
 
http://www.carbuyingtips.com/
 
In essence, you get a throw away e-mail address from gmail/hotmail/live/etc. and use that for several of the online car buying services. Once you get the offers in hand, pit the dealers against each other and drill them down on price. It's much easier than wasting hours in the showroom.
 
The other thing that I've noticed is the best deals I've gotten were at the end of the month--I suspect that's due to salesmen having monthly quotas or something, but it could be just a coincidence.
 
Best of luck to you! I think I'll be joining in the search for a Lexus RX 350 soon.

As far as I can tell, there is no fine print that gives them an out. In fact, there are INCLUSIONS on this offer that you don't normally see:
- Can be combined with other offers
- Can be used on any new or used vehicle in stock
 
Yes, I realize that $400 over invoice PLUS an additional $2500 off would be a fantastic deal, but it's a deal that THEY offered. (By the way, it's actually $700 over invoice according to my recalculation.)
 
The coupons specifically says to negotiate your best deal. I negotiated what many others have already: $700 over invoice--in fact others have negotiated much better (up to $800 below invoice). Then the coupon says to present the coupon for an ADDITIONAL $2500 off the best offer. They refused to honor this.
 
I have sent a letter to the GM of the dealership. I'll see what he says.

Hi a5fung,
 
I am in Seattle area too. Would you tell me where did you get your RX please? Seattle or Bellevue dealer for $41,200. I believe it was before tax and license, right?
 
Thanks a million.

Please let us know what the GM says. The dealership might say a manager never accepted the terms so it was not an agreed upon price, if in fact, it was a salesman that accepted the deal.
