SUVs Lexus RX 300/330/350 2010 Lexus RX 350

You are in the Lexus RX 300/330/350 Forum. Your Hosts are steve_ & tidester
I am negotiating a 2010 rx 350 MSRP 43,156. I have received offers of $39,945. The dealer told me that is $500.00 over invoice. Compared to Edmunds it is about $2,700 over invoice. He offered to show me their invoice. I feel they can print up an invoice depicting anything they want. Where do you think the difference in price is? Also do you think the cash for clunkers will increase the cost of vehicles artificially since the dealers know the buyers will be getting poss incentives of $1000-4,500 gratis uncle sam?

Replying to: carbuyer_2009 (Jun 19, 2009 12:07 am) Degirl, assuming you're comparing similar invoices (same options, etc.) then there's no good reason that I can think of to explain that big of a difference. Did you ask them? Speculation about the affect Cash for Clunkers will have on pricing is all over the place. Edmunds issued a press release yesterday that suggested that the legislation would directly result in fewer than 250,000 sales. If so, that would mean that fewer people will be buying than the dealers hope. There are lots of shuttered car factories right now, and most of them build SUVs and trucks. The factories that aren't closed have shut down shifts or lowered production. So the numbers of SUVs available has decreased, causing prices to rise. Or so I've heard.

Replying to: steve_ (Jun 19, 2009 8:34 am) I bulit vehicle on Edmunds and NADA site exacte same car total were the same. I was advised by dealership that edmunds base price on an 2110 Rx 350 is incorrect. Edmunds site list invoice at 33,998 dealer states actual invoice is 34,571. Nada list same invoice as Edmunds. Dealer also advised me there is a $ 669.00 advertising fee per vehicle (how ridiculous) The destination charge also recently went up by $50.00. I think the manufacterers/dealers are inflating prices knowing the cash for clunkers is on the table. Thay make me sick. GREEDY B's

Replying to: steve_ (Jun 19, 2009 6:06 pm) I have received several internet quotes. I am not sure how the C4C plays into the price of the vehicle. I know the details have not been finalized re: the program but, I have a 96 blazer with 16 mpg combined and intend to buy a 2010 rx350 with 20 mpg combined (figures obtained from fuel economy .gov website) and msrp of less than $44,000 so I think I qualify for a $3,500 voucher but, I don't know where that plays in to the negotiated sales price. Thanks for your help.

Replying to: degirl (Jun 21, 2009 9:06 am) So ... the $3,500 is going to be nice, but hang on to your wallet. But the dealers may be assuming that the rush to buy new cars is going to be stronger than it may actually be. (How's that for covering the bases? Your guess is as good as mine - better really, since you're out there actively kicking tires). |
