#5461 of 5521 19" Wheels by nimimi

Feb 06, 2013 (1:16 pm)

In reviewing the 2013 RX350 on the Lexus site, the premium/luxury packages all come with the 19" wheel option. They include a footnote that says the low profile tires get less than 15,000 miles on a set. Is that right? If I choose the options that include these 19" wheels and tires will I be locked into replacing the tires every year?
 
Does anyone have first-hand experience with this?

If they offered $44,500, I certainly would not offer $44,000. I would go for $43,000. You can certainly do better than $44,000 on this specific package.
 
Also, refuse to pay any documentation fees. Insist !!
 
Good luck.

I offered $43000 but they said that they have never seen RX sell that low. Maximum lexus incentives they have seen is $2000 which happens in summer and by that time prices will be $500 up. There has been a price increase on RX this year.
 
They only have one RX in their lot with the "old price" in the color combination I want. I hope it doesn't get sold !
 
Other dealers in the area are not going lower than $46500.
 
Will $43500 be a good deal?

Yes, I would take $43,500. That's part of the reason to offer $43,000.
 
Another thing I have always said is to never believe anything a sales rep says. I mean nothing.
 
Depending on option packages it it certainly possible to get an RX350 for $43,000.
 
I always shop around but usually on the phone. I almost never walk into the dealership until we agree on a price over the phone.
 
Having said that, if you are in an area with one (or few) Lexus dealers, it makes negotiating difficult.
 
In my case, I shopped with 5 Lexus dealers.

Dealers are not an issue.. there are atleast 10 within 2 hr drive. I have talked to 4 so far.. and 3 of them quoted $46500-$47000. Only 1 quoted $44500. Also this includes destination and delivery charge.
 
Will try for $43000-43500. If it doesn't work, will try in July when 0.9% will be offered.
 
Thanks again for your advice !

Hello all....New to this forum, but looking to see if i can get some advice. I'm looking into purchasing a 2013 RX350 AWD with the following:
 
* CP Comfort Pkg: Xenon HID Headlamps, Rain-sensing Wipers, Driver/Passenger Heated & Ventilated Seats
* EK 12-spkr Premium Audio Pkg: Single DVD/CD Player, HD Radio w/iTunes tagging & 12-spkr Audio Sys
* FT 19" Aluminum Alloy Wheels with All-Season Tires
* NV Navigation System w/Voice Command, Backup Camera, Lexus Enform screen multimedia display & Lexus Enform with Destination Assist and eDestination, App Suite, SiriusXM NavTraffic, NavWeather, Stocks Sports & Fuel prices (1-year trial subscription included)
* PA Intuitive Parking Assist
* PD Premium Package w/Blind Spot Monitor System: Leather Trim Interior, Blind Spot Monitor System, One-Touch Open/Close Moonroof, Power-folding Electrochromic Heated Outside Mirrors, Driver's Seat/Steering/Mirror Memory-3 settings, Roof Rails
* TO Towing Prep Pkg: Transmission Cooler, Heavy Duty Alternator/Radiator (does not include ball mount)
* WU Wood & Leather Trimmed Steering Wheel & Shift Knob
* Z1 Cargo Mat, Cargo Net, Wheel Locks & Key Gloves
 
Price as quoted was $45,600 + tax and license, and they said there's a $1k rebate currently being offered through LFS that brings it to $44,600.
 
It seems like a good price, but I just wanted to double check.
 
Btw, I'm located in Northern California.
 
Thanks!

That looks like a good price, though the LFS rates are not the best in market now. I am working on a similar deal too with my dealer and looking around $6500 off MSRP. Will settle close to $6000 off MSRP if the dealer agrees. That seems like a good deal according to the advice I got from this forum.
