Saki1 - Atlast I got the 2011 RX 350 AWD with Remote Starter on Jan 3, 2011 and the vehicle was delivered on Jan 6, 2011 from Rallye Lexus, Glen Cove, NY.
 
I left with two dealer's to decide - Rallye Lexus, Glen Cove, NY & Herb Chamber's, Sharon, MA.
 
Rallye Lexus final offer was $39,500 with 5 free complimentary services 5k, 10k, 15k, 20k, 25k. Herb Chamber's final offer was $38,250 with 1 complimentary free service.
 
I went with Rally Lexus because....
 
If i add up the moving cost to NY from MA with Herb Chamber's an additional $600 adds up to $38,850 and If i had the 5 free services say approximately $500, it adds up to $39, 350., with Herb Chamber's. The difference is $150(Rallye Lexus $39,500- Herb Chamber's $39,350)., so I went with the local dealer., Rallye Lexus, NY (Herb Chamber's offer only one free complimentary service, that too I can't use it, I can't drive 200 miles for one service.)
 
Model---------------------------------------Inovice/MSRP
2011 RX 350 AWD -----------------------35,633/39,375
Options:
Premium Package -------------------------2,028/2,400
Towing Prep Pacakge --------------------190/238
Back Up Camera ---------------------------289/350
Heated Ventilated Seats------------------512/640
Wood & Leather Trim----------------------264/330
 
Accessory Package-------------------------141/232
(Cargo Mat, Cargo Net, Wheel Locks)
LDA-(Advertisting Fees)-------------------590
Delivery Processing & Handling----------875
------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Invoice/MSRP Price-----------------40,521/44,450
Remote Start--------------------------------225/375
------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Price with Remote--------------------40,746/44,825
Negotiated Price with Remote-------------39,500
-------------------------------------------------------------------
 
I did the homework and had all the information of MSRP & Invoice but somehow the Dealer Invoice I got from 3 different dealer's matched the same number 40,521. My Invoice calculation was $39723 without the LDA & Delivery & Processing fees.
 
I got the New price car report from Consumer Reports by paying $14 and got Dealer hold back information of $796, so the actual invoice price of the car is $39723-$796 = $38477.(without the Delivery & Processing & LDA) So anybody getting this model should negotiate below this rate of $38,477.
We don't need to pay for Delivery & Processing & LDA.
  
Actual Invoice for my Model with options is $38,477
My final price is $39,500 with 5 free compliementary services, If i deduct $500 for the free services, it comes to $39,000, still I lost $500., but still I made it by.......
 
I got 3.75% APR for 60 months from Muncipal Credit Union, it comes to $3,764 interest, the dealer offered that he can meet or beat the price with his affiliations and got me for 2.64% from NEFCU(Nassau Educators Federal Credit Union) for 60 months which is $2,620 interest.
 
Dealer savings in APR (3,764-2620)= $1,144
 
My final deal with this dealer including all the savings:
Negotiated Price ---------------- 39,500
Complimentary free services ------500
APR Savings -----------------------1,144
-------------------------------------------------
Final cost with Savings---------- 37,856 + TTL
-------------------------------------------------
 
My final Invoice price--39,500 + 5 free complimentary services (5,10,15,20,25K)
NY Taxes-----------------3406.88
New Plates--------------228.50
New Car Inspection-----10
NYS Tire Tax--------------12.50
Titling & Document Fee-75
Other-----------------------5
----------------------------------------
OTD(Out the Door Price)--43,237.88
Down Payment---------------5,000.00
--------------------------------------------------
Credit Union Loan 2.64%-$38,237.88
--------------------------------------------------
 
Interest for 5 years($38237.88 2.64) ---------------2,620
 
Total cost including the interest rate = $43,237.88+2620 = $45857.88

Muimui, I'm driving my second Lexus, a 2010 RX350 that was made in Canada. My first Lexus was a 2007 RX350 that I drove for four years until my lease was up. That RX was also made in Canada. I had no problems with the '07, and so far everything is A-OK with the 2010. Good luck with your purchase!!

comfort package is a separate package, and most of the cars come with comfort pkg only when nav is ordered. all the conv like rain sensing , auto dimming etc. come with only comfort package. The cars with msrp 44,825 do not.

JJsheth -Comfort package is entirely a different package. I think you need to do more research. Check the various packages in www.lexus.com

You can get the invoice price in any Auto sites...No spoon feeding. You have to work on it.
 
To get the dealer holdback & incentive information, get a $14 report from Consumer reports., it gives the Invoice price as well.
 
In the below sites, you can get free Invoice price, not the Incentive Info. or holdback.
