Which dealer did you go through? I personally wouldn't have (and didn't) pay anything other than MSRP. Market adjustments just don't make sense. My '22 Premium purchased 9/21 was $65k OTD after taxes.

I went through Oxnard Lexus Dealer (Los Angeles/So Calif region)

Anyone, should I look into an extended warranty for Lexus GX460 for peace of mind?, though I never in my life bought extended warranty on any new car and really no issues. Also my lexus IS200t from 2017 has no issues to date. I know all the reviews mostly say these 460's are workhorses based on a 10-yr truck on body frame etc and wont break down until maybe after 200k miles.

I went through Longo Lexus in El Monte, as many of the other Socal people here have. Not sure what their inventory situation was like but they managed to track down one of the first 2022's for me last year and they're MSRP only.

I made this post in May and have been looking on and off since. I've probably contacted 15 dealers from California to Wisconsin to South Carolina. Every dealer either wants over MSRP or is not willing to sell out of state. I am not willing to pay over MSRP or for dealer add-ons but am willing to wait however many months it takes to find the right vehicle through the allocation process. I'm all ears if anyone has new dealer/salesperson recommendations.

Mazderati,

when you say you're not willing to pay over MSRP , is that tax and fees included out the door OR MSRP max plus taxes and fees atop of the MSRP (assuming bringing your own funds and no dealer financing)? I think if i went with dealer financing they wouldve lowered it a bit since they get paid also on the back end with dealer financing

Mazderati

The second situation. I'm considering taxes a separate cost and prepared to pay for them on top of MSRP. I'm open to dealer financing (depending on rate) if it gets the deal done.

Oh ok, so if you're assuming taxes atop of MSRP then if MSRP is like ~$61K for example, and assuming LA-area taxes of about 9.5% you're looking at ~ $67-68k OTD.
I offered $65k initially OTD with taxes included but I didnt get the sense they would bite/budge. Inventory been tight around here for the trim and color we wanted. I just did the $71k, which is like extra $3k. plus I didnt want to spend hours negotiating for $65-69k range, just spent 2 hours total in and out. i was thinking of waiting for '23 models, but unknown if it'll be redesigned somehow too (i want the v8 and the current truck on 4/runner/prado frame design). i just bit the bullet and paid $3k more basically.

i suppose you can get dealer financing and pay it off in your own fund right away assuming no pre payment penalty and still pay "cash" but you got a lower overall cost because you used their financing which they get a cut of on the back end which makes the deal work for them. inventory is another matter, so you may not get the color / trim you wanted. the sales guy told me beg sept they plan to see the new '23 models roll in. i wanted to lock in the 2022 model.

My dealership in OKC, OK, Eskridge Lexus charged me MSRP for my 22 Luxury. Not sure if they are selling to out of state customers or how far you're willing to travel.

Anyone place an order for a 2023 GX460? Looks like no major changes for the 23, the 2024 will probably be the redesign. We're in the market and inventory of the 2022 models seems a bit scarce and you'll never find the color/seating/options combo you want. Too bad they got rid of the red for 23, even though you would never find a red 22 anyway =/

This link appears to be broken--does anyone know another way to get the monroney info?

jlficken

As far as I know there is no longer a way to find the Monroney.

Mazderati

Called and they are not shipping. Thanks for the lead.

I couldn't find a red one

George2269

I cant find the link which will allow me to track the shipment of my GX. Anyone have that link/info to share?

jlficken

It appears that the API's that drove that process have been killed off for anonymous access as you now get an "Unauthorized" HTTP response so it's no longer possible.
