I have been searching for a 2007 RX350 used or new w/ Nav, Prem+, black exterior preferred. I am not getting convincing offers in Columbia, SC and I am willing to travel for the right deal. Anyone had much luck with dealerships in SC, GA, or NC?
Quotes I have received so far in North & South Carolina (can I do much better?):
New 2007 FWD - (black), no nav - $37,988+
New 2008 FWD - (black), nav - $42,111+
Used 2007 FWD - (bamboo), nav, 26k mi - $38,879+
Used 2007 FWD - (white), nav, 6k mi - $40,605+ (demo)
Used 2007 AWD - (flint), nav, 7k mi - $41,800+

you're getting ripped off. I got a brand new 2007 AWD white/nav/premium--2 miles on it for around 38, $40,300 with tax tags about a month ago.

Where did you get this vehicle w/ options for 38k? Please send contact info if within driving distance to South Carolina. The local dealership in Columbia, SC is only selling 2008's for MSRP and 2007's 2K under MSRP. I know they are inflating and that my patience will pay off in the end when the right deal is negotiated. I wonder if it will take a couple more months of the 2008 being out for 2007's to drop significantly?

Bought it from len stoler lexus in maryland right outside of baltimore. Did everything on the phone with the internet sales manager. Just picked up the car for delivery. He gave me a good deal b/c I called the last day of February. Easy experience. Highly recommend them. See post 515--that's me but I forgot my login name to edmunds so I used a different email account and I never know which one I'm using when I write. Good luck

will start my hunt soon for a 400h - since I live in Charleston I'll start with the local dealer - I assume that you must have shopped your car with the Charleston dealer -
can you share any thoughts on that experience?

We got an RX330 last year, but couldn't get the options we wanted. We wanted the HID biXenon headlights, dealer told us they come only in 2 packages - with and without navi. No HID's on RX330, to get those we'd have to move up to some $65k vehicle. 2 weeks after the purchase we noticed other RX330's on the road with those lights. Then researched and the Sylvania website says Lexus does offer those. Not sure if the dealer was BS-ing us. My bad, didn't do enough research up front. Now they want $6,000 to put in those headlights. My next purchase definitely wont be a Lexus, and certainly not from the dealership - Park Place Lexus in Plano, TX.

I ordered the Premium Plus Package on my '07 RX330 which includes:
Leather-trimmed interior
Power tilt-and-telescopic steering column
Lexus Memory System to control power driver's seat (except lumbar), outside mirrors and steering wheel
Illuminated entry system
Power tilt-and-slide moonroof with one-touch open/close and sliding sunshade
Roof rack with rails
High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps with auto leveling
Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS)
The MSRP for the package was $2,960 (INV $2,368) but I received it after "The Lexus Golden Opportunity Sales Event" option price drops were announced on 7-26-06 at which time it became $2,060 (INV $1,648). Unfortunately some Lexus sales departments have a very bad cavalier attitude, including my local one; you need to find one that doesn't.

Did I get a good deal or not???

Hi All,
First time here and would like to know if I got a good deal or not as I never owned a new car before and dealing with car salespersons isn't the first thing on my list of things to experence before I die. That said I just purchased an 08 RX350 AWD white/pearl leather wood WITHOUT the NAV systems for $38400. Sticker was $43K . I am in N.Calif. So did I get screwed, a fair deal or a great deal. I used to have a 850t5 Volvo, old and it was paid for but my mech. was getting rich so I decided to buy a Lexus for the first time. Your feedback is welcomed.
Thanks

I would have thought being in California, you would have gotten much better than that ... I bought at the same price as yours (Premium Plus, No Nav) in Seattle, where some users have drove down from Seattle to Bay Area and bought theres coz of cheaper price. I would say it is fair.
But, its an awesome car ... enjoy it.
