You make some valid points, I think that you could get luxury, but Lexus seems to increase the price of its vehicles, yes reliability is excellent, but less expensive manufacturer's are making a vehicle that fully loaded will run you several thousand less than a lexus. I presume you are looking at the rx model considering the fact thaty you don't want a bulky suv, yet you want something that will haul two children. Clearly. the Explorer, is the least expensive of all three and would give you the most options later on. However, I think that although quality has improved in American made car's the Explorer is built on a truck chassis which means that road isolation and quetness as well as comfort is going to be minimized. secondly, there are too many cost cutting materials in that car for my liking. Howver, price is a positive. The Nissan Murano has been out for several years, and has sold fairly well, Considering the Infiniti FX a more expensive Murano is going to be redesigned, within the next year or so I wiould expect the same for the Murano. Reliability shhould be well above average, and you could get a pretty good deal on this car. I think the Acura MDX and Acura RDX are just plain ugly, and the RDX is going to be slightly smaller than what you are looking for, this is just my hunch. Unless you want a used X5 I would say it is better to wait on this, a used M-Class can be purchased at a reasonable price, beware of the old body style (more boxy) as there have been major quality problems. I think a year old Infinit FX might be a better way to go than a new Murano, and depreciation will hav hit the car so it would be a good leverage point for you. The only other The two suv's that you have not mentioned are the Hyundai and the Mazda. The Hyundai Santa fe, is a less expensive verion of the RX, if fake wood pieces don't bother you, you might find the similariteis eerily similar This is the only detraction I could find, leather is nice, fit and finish are top notch, and price is an added bounus. The dollar value suggests the Hyundai, and its reliability is now close to that of top manufacturers. The Mazda cx-7 might surprise you with its energetic driving and you could load it up and still have change in your pocket. If you want something slightly larger, the CX-9 is another alternative. I think I have covered most of the bases, I have not addressed purhcasing or leasing, obviously because I need to know more information before I make a reccomendation.
you can contact me at peregrinator cox.net if you have any more questions.

sam112233 - I'm in the Atlanta area and trying to get quotes from other areas to compare - Alabama, Tennessee, SC. Did you get quotes from Atlanta? Did you deal with the internet manager in Bham or go to the dealership? Do you mind providing your salesperson's name? Thanks!

Has anyone recently purchased a vehicle with these options? I'm negotiating now and it looks like it will be a special order since we don't want the ML stereo system. Curious on what others are paying for similar vehicles and where you're located. Finding there are not a lot of AWD vehicles in the Southeast. Thanks.

Lexus RX 350 in Northern VA

Hi,
We are planning to shop for a '08 RX 350 AWD (Premium Package plus, wheel lock, all weather mats) in Northern VA.
What price should we aim for paying for the RX around northern VA (Vienna/Fairfax) area?
In this forums some people have posted that they were able to buy the RX '08 less than the invoice. Is it reasonable to ask for $1500 or $2000 less than the invoice?
Do share if you know of a good dealership where I can get a good deal.
Thanks,
CB

2008 RX 350 (Northern NJ)

Prestige Lexus - Northern NJ delivered a competitive price for a 2008 RX 350 (premium package, with navigation). Initial sales experience was positive (albeit, time consuming), and the "pick-up" experience was okay. Remain disciplined, and recognize that the ancillary offers are just that. The 'extras' - insurance offers, service contracts (LoJack, Window Etchinging, etc...) can be purchased elsewhere for a "fraction of the cost."

Bought my brand new 2006 Acura for 4K under invoice on last shopping day of 2006, and want to see if could match that with 2007 Lexus RX350, willing to wait til' end of December. Has anyone had any experience with buying a brand new Lexus for under invoice? How much under invoice is the best realistic scenario for something thats brand new or a demo? Thanks!

it makes no sense to go by MSRP, which is always thousands more than the true dealer cost. I always go by invoice. Is it possible to get a loaded 07 for 3-4 grand under invoice?

If I could make a suggestion, you would be able to lower the price of the car somewhat if you chose to get the standard wheels. Larger wheels do nothing except look good.
I think that a good ballpark price to offer for an 07-08 year model would be 38500, if you email me at peregrinatorcox.net, I might be able to locate something for you. However, I will need 72 hours to get back to you. If this is acceptable I look forward to
