Hey guys,
I'm looking to buy a '13 RX 350 FWD. Which local dealers are willing to negotiate and not stick me with the MSRP?
Thanks,
James

I know the orange county Lexus dealers are pretty negotiating and will haggle with you (quite a ways from you) but if its worth it then the drive wouldn't be that bad!

The NorCal community has members working at 3 Key Bay Area Dealers of which most of the active members know them personally. Several veteran members personally know the Presidents of Stevens Creek , Magnussen, Pleasanton and Coliseum Lexus. We also have a tight relationship with Longo Lexus in SoCal of which I did fly down to purchase our IS and then drive it home.

Many of the active members of this community have bought their cars with virtually no haggle.

We're pretty hooked up. ;-)

Have you tried to purchase a car through costco? If you have a membership you log on to the website. Specifiy which car you want to purchase in color option etc. They will direct you to a particular dealership...to the fleet/internet manager. You'll get a Costco no haggle price on the car. They'll have a manifest of what's coming in over the next couple of months or they'll show you what's on the lot. My dad did that for his ES. He actually wanted a gold with tan interior. Wasn't coming for 1 or 2 months but they had a silver with black interior and he jumped on that. Like I said no haggle price. Always below MSRP but obviously slightly higher than invoice because they have to make a little change in the transaction.

Hi RMMGS4, you mention that NorCal Club Lexus has good relations with several dealers / sales consultants - could you let me / us know which ones would be best to approach for excellent pricing / no hassles? Am actively in the market for our next Lexus (new ES 300h). You can PM me if that is better. Thanks!

^ I would also be interested in this information. I am in the market for a new 2015 is350 which will probably have to be special ordered. I am located in sj if that helps narrow down local dealers. Feel free to pm me as well. Thanks

I should have gotten this info before I bought mine last week from Coliseum Lexus! But I still think I got a pretty good price on mine.

Got a great deal from Stevens Creek Lexus. My sales rep was easy to work with and reliable.

I had decent experience with Steven Creek Lexus. If you dont care about good customer service, Lexus of Serramonte might have the best price. However, their customer services are the worst. I went there earlier this year to trade up my IS350. We agreed on the price of their car and was working on the value of my trade-in. Re-scheduled to have the sale manager looks at my car for a more accurate estimate value. They called me and told me they sold the car as i was about 5 minutes away. They won't ever get my business anytime in the foreseeable future.

Judging from your location, I see you are located in Washington. I assume since you are posting in a California region thread you are okay with purchasing out of state?
