I have dealt with several dealers and car finding services in the process of purchasing my RX this month and nearly all of them referred to the black book value. This represents the cost to dealers would pay at auction for the same vehicle you are trading them. It may be a scam to get a lower value than Blue Book or Edmunds, I don't know. But I do know that it was tough to get them to budge off it. Here is the address if you want to appraise yours:

I always plugged in bogus info for the car I was searching for as to avoid spam. I hope this helps and good luck!

I'm also looking in CT for an 08 AWD RX 350. What dealership did you buy from? How much were the inception fees? Did you put any money down? 36 months 12k per year? thanks in advance for the info.

Hi Vanlam,
It only make sense if they made the diffence on the Trade. or it was a lease and they made the diffrence in the rate.
or your trying to adv for cerritos and your blowing smoke!
That Deal doesnt make sense at this time.

Hi Ohioman,
Unfortunatley you never get an Excellent trade value for your Rx. most dealers will use karpower. a kbb dealer software. when they appriase the vehicle it would be around fair condition or less. if the car is really in good shape no dings no scratches good tires they might give you bettween fair and good.
Kbb is just an estimator not the real thing, if it was real they would have a Sell button on there.
i dont mean to discourage you. thats the reality of it!
If your not in a hurry. sell your Rx to a private party.
Thanks and good luck!

It was Toyota Mall of Georgia - I think I got their only RX350 but I'm sure inventory changes constantly. I would suggest expanding your search outside of Atlanta and dealing with the internet departments of various dealers and negotiating with them for the best price/value. That is how I got my deal and I just happened to be 3 hours away instead of 30 min. Websites such as autotrader make it easy to expand your search from 25 to 300+ miles away. Happy hunting and let me know if I can give you any other specific advice. One last thing - before you travel get a deal via e-mail signed off by the desk. It helped me immesely when they tried to play games when I arrived after a 3 hour drive.

Hoffman in East Hartford. I leased it and paid the first months payment, $900 in acquisition and doc fees + registration fees. I bought up from $15k to $18k in miles. Lease payment is $678 including taxes. You could save about $40/month with just $15k miles. Good buying experience.

a 2008 AWD w/NAV has MSRP around $45,700. $43,000 is a discount of only $2,700. is that really that good a deal? based on what i've seen on this board it would seem a great deal would be around $41,000-$42,000. i was offered over the phone around $3,000 off MSRP just for starters.
not wanting to make you feel bad but am i missing something?
