Hi,
 
I bought from Lexus of Bridgewater. I called to see if they would sell it to me for $38k before I even set foot in the showroom. I haven't gotten the car yet but I'm hopeful it's as smooth as the purchase was.
 
You can also try Ray Catena of Freehold. They would sell for the same price but they didn't have the color I wanted and were not scheduled to get it in anytime soon.
 
I would stay away from Lexus of Edison and Lawrence Lexus in Lawrenceville. Lexus of Edison said "We don't sell at invoice" and Lawrence Lexus was not much better.
Good luck!

Eastwing,
 
Our RX350 was FWD, and the MSRP was $44,466, I think including the destination. That didn't include the doc fee of $399, so with that their starting price was $44,865. Our "price" before tax / tag / title was $39,899, or right at $5000 off of MSRP.
 
Not sure how that compares with others in the SE, but I could tell that I had gotten as much as they were willing to give. I invested a day or so in the whole thing from the test drive to negotiation and close, so I was pretty happy.
 
best,
jeff

I purchased at Sterling Mccall Lexus. It is $37,400(base) + $9521(Navigation System/Mark Levinson® Package - Luxury Value Edition with Additional Options) + tax and everything
Total is $50,492. They agree to sell me for $46,600 drive out. Is it still to much? Thanks for your answer

I have just put $500 down for a 2008 RX350 (FWD) with the Mark Levison/DVD/Navigation Package (the top package). They quote me for 46600 out of the door? Is it still high everyone? Can I cancel and take the deposit back? What is best price for a one like that before TTL? thanks for answering

2008 Lexus RX 350 from Central NJ by newrx350

Hi everyone.
 
I found your discussion very helpful and would like to share the deal I was able to get from Ray Catena in Ocean, NJ:
 
2008 RX 350 FWD
Premium plus package, navigation system with rear camera, 18 inch 7-spoke wheels, heated seats with rain sensing wipers, wheel locks, cargo mat, tow prep package.
  
MSRP - $45,816
Price Paid - $40,857 = dealer's invoice
Doc prep fee - $249
Sales Tax (NJ 7%) - $2859.99
DMV electronic filing fee - $27.50
NJ tire fee - $7.50
TOTAL OUT THE DOOR - $44,000.99
 
Unfortunately, the dealer was not willing to go below the invoice no matter how hard I tried, so I hope I got a good deal! I have to say the experience has been wonderful, they didn't pressure me into anything and I won't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. My sales guy was Mike Barone.
 
Competing offers received (rock bottom prices, would not discount further) -
Lawrence Lexus - $41,358 + tax/fees
Lexus of Bridgewater - $41,774 + tax/fees
Lexus of Edison - $41,900 + tax/fees
 
Hope this helps another buyer and good luck!

2008 RX350 AWD in CT by lexusrxsearch

I would appreciate guidance on how low I should expect to be able to negotiate for a new 2008 RX350 AWD with Navigation and Premium Plus with Moonroof packages (local dealers only seem to get loaded versions)
Initial quote from Lexus Greenwich was:
$42,100
+84 plate transfer
+ 200 conveyance fee
+2536 (6% sales tax)
_________________
$44,926 total
 
I'm having trouble coming up with a reliable "invoice" price -- different sources give different figures (Edmunds, Costco Carsource, Consumer Reports service...)-- from which to negotiate. I read earlier that one should aim for $2500 below dealer invoice -- realistic?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks to all for this very helpful forum!
