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?

imo, on a brand new rx 350 with low miles, rule of thumb discounts:
good deal ~6%
great deal ~9%
awesome deal ~11%
 
your quote is about a 9% discount off MSRP. for a brand new vehicle with no miles on it, i would say thats a great deal, not the best, but great nonetheless. but given that it has 4,000 miles on it though i would say you should probably get them down maybe another $750 to make it a great deal. but at this price, adjusted for the mileage, id say its just a good deal.
 
from what i can tell, awesome deals are rare and may involve timing, luck and also perhaps a trade-in where the dealer is making money on it.

Hi all, it was the funniest thing i went to edmunds and requested quotes from 4 lexus dealers.
1st one came in w/in 1/2 hour and he asked how cam i earn your business, i told him i was looking for invoice on a lease. he told me msrp was 43056 fro the AWD premium plus which is build with a few other options dont even remember what they were and thats the way they are shipped to NY which other dealer confirmed.
anyway within 2 min he went to his manager and approved it all over the phone( no bargining at all).
it gets funnier, later that day another dealer called me and offer me below invoice 11% off MSRP. so i inturn call a dealer near me and gave him that offer and he accepted it. I went to lease it and while was there another dealer called me and offered me another $722 off but i really didnt care i found the color i wanted (white ) which is a litter bit difficult , i'd have to wait 3 weeks elsewhere.
paid $38319 net cap cost ,w/ 51%residual ,.00139 money factor on a lease for 36 mo. at Ray Catrina in NJ.
im very happy.
the moral of the story is be, patient, educated,and tell them what you want and they accept it with a smile and coffee.
good luck everyone

I would recommend Stevens Creek Lexus in San Jose to every one. Howard Chen at the dealership is a great person, good salesman and a pleasant professional. I bought my RX350 from there a couple of days ago and what a wonderful experience it has been. No pressure, no psychological games and you come out as a satisfied customer. I used edmunds site for electronic quote, called Howard a couple of times and the prices paid was below invoice.

There is no "add" in the book for a thundercloud edition. clean book on your RX is 30750. (april 1 edition, florida) there are regional adjustments for value but not alot. for instance, here in florida 2wd and awd suv's are basically worth the same because the general public does not add as much value down here. i personally like the added traction in the rain but it does affect gas mileage. hope this info helps!!

the dealer was Prestige in NJ cant mention names, but go to edmunds or another site and request a few internet quote , again if they ask how do i earn your business just be straight you want invoice, they will be very pleasant.
when you talk to the dealer you want to do business with let them know you already have another deal with dealer X , garrenteed they will beet it . Prestige was willing to do better by $20 a month except i stayed w/ Ray Catina cause they had my color on the ground.
Hope this helps
Good Luck
