Purchased a 2007 RX350 AWD Black/Brown w/ 3000 mi, Nav, Prem +, heated seats/rain sensing wipers, XM, 18in alloys, etc last night for $38,000 +doc fee ($579) and +South Carolina Tx and Transfer ($325) from a Toyota dealership in Georgia. I dealt with someone in their internet department and had to finally talk to the desk before they would accept the deal for the car and trade. I think it is beneficial to wait toward the end of the month (2Apr was the last day of "March" because the actual last day occurred on a weekend) and work through the internet department. The only downside to the deal was the 3 hour drive there and back, but it was worth it to me. If anyone else is hunting in the Carolina area shoot me an e-mail or reply to this and I'll be happy to share my experiences.

Nackerma,
 
email me at rinasauncehotmail.com and I will give you the name of my contacts. I ended up purchasing the car at Park Place Lexus in Plano as they had a 2007 in stock but Sewell made me a fantastic offer on a 2008.
 
I picked up the car yesterday and I could NOT be happier. Its fantastic, looks beautiful and the black exterior with the black interior is sharper than I would have ever imagined (this is the first black car I have ever owned). I am incredibly pleased so far.

New to this ... I'm trying to understand any special lease offers from Lexus on the RX 350. We saw an ad last nite for ~$3925 down, $429 /month for an '07. When I went to the local dealer today they said that "National" offer expired 4/2/07 ... also last nite ... but they would give me the same lease terms on an '08.
 
The dealer promised the best money factor, either from the expiring special offer or from the next special offer.
 
My questions are: Was this a bait & switch? Why advertise at 11:30 pm for a deal that ends at midnight? Does Lexus Financial change their lease offers frequently? What should I expect to see in their next "special offer"?

Actually, the $429 wasn't available & it was for a 2WD car. They came back at $532 (w/tax) and $4,100 down. So I still don't know it's such a great deal.

jerseyjack......how much of that $4,100 is a "down payment" and how much is for DMV fees, etc.? Let's say $3,000 is the down payment. Divide that by 36 months and you've just added $83.33 per month to your payment. Always calculate a payment using $0 down. Then you can compare apples to apples, and adjust for variable sized down payments.
 
Any dealer can get your monthly payment down to $100 a month if you give them a big enough down payment. Think about the math. If you give them enough money, you've just bought the car for cash.
 
Bottom, I'd say it's a bad deal, off the top of my head, but you need to give us more information.

I actually did the calculation at the dealer. $2500 cap cost reduction. If you subtract 1 month rent ($4,100-$532) and divide by 36 it added $100 per month (your calculation was good!). So all in it came to ~$632. All in, didn't seem like a good deal to me.
 
We talked about MSDs (multiple security deposits) but that's not the answer.
 
My question is whether there are any good Lexus lease deals out there for RXs?

Just leased a 08' AWD RX 350 in CT with Premium Plus and Navigation. MSRP was $45,707 and got it for $41,200. Lease factor was .00259.
 
Couldn't find an 07' nearby.
