Anybody already getting 'big' discounts on RX400h?

I saw some dealers having more than a few RX400h sitting on their lots from autotrader.com.

I was at my Lexus dealer here in Miami last week. Picking up a part for my 300. And every other RX in the building was a 400H.

I have seen posts on another forum from buyers in New York, New Jersey and Florida where dealers are giving $3,000 off sticker on 400h's. The post from Florida said that the dealer advertised the $3,000 discount on all 400h's in stock in the newspaper. Sounds like no haggling to me.

On July 1, $1,000 was the typical discount.

I've been quoted $1500 off sticker.

I would love to see that $3000 advertisement. That would make a Mark Lev with heated seats $47,700.

According to what I read, Florida dealer is JM Lexus in Margate, FL. Hope that helps you out.

I was offered about $1500 off both the 400 and the 330 that I ended up with when I was considering between the 330 and 400 this past Wednesday. The dealer had about 20 of the 400's on the lot. I went with the last 330 they had with navigation. In Arkansas, you have more rural interstate and rural highway driving than city, so the 330 is reported here to get better mileage than the 400 in these circumstances so people aren't snapping them up like they would be in a more urban environment I suppose.

the JM lexus ad this weekend said $3000 off RX400h, $5000 off 2006 GS430's, and $7000 off SC430's....

Anyone who's been quoted a discount off the MSRP, please make sure to mention if you're doing a trade. The dealers will slide the profits from one to the other. Your discounts might skew the results of this post.

wow ... you guys get nice discounts, or is it that I am not negotiating correctly?

The best price i've been quoted is $1000 off msrp.
Thats for a 400h with ML and Rear Seat Ent.

Rallye only gave me a few hundred off, and wont talk anymore for a 400h with ML.

and Im not trading in my car, so brand new purchase.

Anyone got more tips for me on how to get the price lower?

I am going to take delivery within ten days. The salesperson (dealer in Columbus) said there's no discount on the RX400h at all as they will just sell whatever is on the lot immediately and because mine is "special order" (heated seat only and no ML and RSES). I think that's bull because if it's a special order that means if I take delivery right the way then they don't have to worry about any inventory cost and the stupid "regional marketing cost".

I don't really need the car, and there are so many other alternatives out there. If I can get the same car for thousands less somewhere else, I am not going to let them rip me off.

Anybody get discount on RX400h in Ohio? BTW, what's the typical auto loan % through Toyota right now with good to excellent credit rating?

Go back on Monday or Tuesday. End of the month is fast approaching and the sales people and managers have to hit their quotas.

I got 4.75% in June. I would get an internet new car rate and ask them to beat it.

the JM lexus ad today says $4,000 of the RX400h...... if you're only getting a $1000, but it elsewhere and have it shipped!
