So what you're saying is they didn't want to come down on the price until you showed them what Edmunds says their real invoice is? If so, that's the kind of annoying games dealers are hated for. I can't imagine that they didn't have that price on hand. As if they're going to trust an Internet site over their own data.

they didn't want to come down even after seeing edmunds' invoice price. basically the salesman said he didn't want to go ask his manager for the 37500 because every other person he had asked for was denied. yeah right, like i believed him. i didn't feel like going through all this so i settled for the premium package but with an interior color i didn't like. when i was driving the car the final time, i was a little disappointed i wasn't getting what i really wanted. i think the salesman realized that his survey was in jeopardy (customer not completely satisfied...i wasn't going to select truly outstanding at that point) and then he went to ask his manager for the 37500. i have been car shopping since may and had decided on the lexus since july. i've been in contact with every dealership in south florida and they are all the same. pembroke pines told me that the customers get themselves in trouble by shopping around, countyline just wouldn't budge on prices and were discourteous, kendall lied to me on the phone to get me in and were rude and arrogant, west kendall gave me a good price but it was too far to see whether they were lying or not, and jm gave me a good price with a little bit of haggling. overall i'm not dissatisfied. i had thought that it being a lexus dealership i wouldn't have to put up with these annoying salepeople, but i've learned they aren't called salesmen and have that reputation for nothing. it's well earned, unfortunately. 
a little bit of luck, and lots and lots of patience. hope you get what you want. check out dealerrater.com for other reviews.
btw this is my first car purchase, and boy am i glad it's over!

I told them the price that it is reported they sold the car at and they said the car was not sold at that price. They offered 2007, RX 350, AWD, NAV, Prem +, 2 level heated seats w/ RS, 18 in alloy, towing prep, cargo mat, wheel locks for $41,724 + TTL. They said if I had take a car from inventory it may be better. I have asked for that price.
Thoughts, comments? How did you get them down to the price quoted? I figure with the December promotion they should have more room to deal.

You can do better in your area (NY, NJ CT), as in invoice price for this car. Invoice means, invoice. Only additional would be TTL.

KBB says that is invoice. I saw on here that people were paying $40,500 for this car - below invoice.

40,500 is a little below invoice, not much. At the dealership they will show you the invoice. It's not a secret. That price you have isn't invoice on the config you're looking at so ask to see it or have them fax it to you. Even when you see the dealer invoice it won't tell the whole story because there is a factory to dealer rebate on this car. This car can be had for around invoice at any dealership. It's just some dealerships will give it to you without much hassle and others are trying to keep the price higher to protect margins and will not budge. I promise, if you call around the tri state area, ready to buy, you will get the car at about the same price as everyone else is reporting.

I am in Cincinnati and very frustrated with my shopping experience for a RX350. I am getting about 38900 for the premium package car no nav, almost settling for that. anyone deal with anyone in OHIO? maybe I should get the nav? I get from this forum that people pay in the 37 for the premium package car and 41K with nav and all the extra. sound right? I would love a better buying experience...

Lexus of Knoxville. Had a good experience with them. Almost all negotiation was done by email. Had to wait until end of month before they met my price and had to choose from in stock inventory, but they had the color we wanted. Email me if you want more information.
Good luck.
