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??? by dpob

    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.

    I waited till I was ready to pull the trigger, then told the internet guy (Doug) what I was willing to pay (invoice price) on an 08 and, because Sarasota FL would do it, he matched their offer.
     
    Got my wife an 08, Performance plus package w/ XM, HID, heated seats, rain sensing wipers for $38000, OTD price of $41000 even. We saved exactly $4k off sticker.
     
    I cannot say enough about the education I received on this site, and I saved a bundle.

    Congratulations! You have a very good vehicle at a very good price. You saved $4,600 off MSRP. My closest Lexus dealer is 65 miles and won't budge off sticker. My next closest Lexus dealer is 150 miles and won't drop more than $2,000 off sticker. If I decide to go with Lexus, I may end up flying out of state to get one. I'm envious of your vehicle and your deal. Be happy with your great deal and enjoy your great vehicle! Life is good!

    Brand New 2007 RX 350 by robtson

    I just purchased on March 31, 2007, a brand new 2007 Lexus RX 350 with Black exterior, the Premium Plus package, and heated front seats. The local dealer added tinting to the front windows and the dealer price selling price before tax and fees was $34,800.
     
    Things I learned:
     
    1. Dealing at the end of the month really makes a difference
    2. The internet manager at the dealerships quickly quoted very good prices and did so rapidly because....
    3. I shopped BOTH of the dealerships in town and the two seem to be fairly competitive.
     
    I live in Dallas and we have both Sewell Lexus and Park Place Lexus in town and they both have two dealerships in the area so they have lots of inventory to draw from.
     
    By the way, the document fee was only $50.00 (I have heard some Lexus dealers use this to make extra money at no cost)

    I purchased an 08 AWD with NAV Bamboo Pearle yesterday for $43,000 out the door at Lexus of Cerritos at S. Cal. The deal I got, no body can match around here, not even different people at the same dealer. Not even Longo can match it.
