It's hard to believe they're going to knock $5000 off MSRP before the model even hits the showroom floor. Is that really the deal, or is it $500 over some higher number that the dealer claims is invoice price?

b1gredek

that is really the deal,,, my dealer doesnt try to make every penny off me,,, just because the car is revised a little,,,,

who is your dealer? my husband's birthday is next weekend and i'm getting ready to buy rx330 w/ nav fwd, best price i'm getting from my dealer here in no. cal. is $38.5 plus taxes and fees. my salesguy is still looking for black w/tan interior which is waht hubby wants and that's holding it up. now i'm thinking i can probably do better with the price, or should i wait for the 350 now? curious...what is invoice for the 350? thanks!

Wait for the 350, your husband will thank you for it. I know I would.

Someone posted at one point that the 350 will cost list for about $700 more than the 330. The RX has always been pretty consistent around a $5,500 difference between MSRP and invoice.

Since the dealers have to be looking to get rid of 330's, you're going to pay less for a 330 than you would for a 350. The question is how much less, and that's going to be up to the dealer. I would think the difference would be in the neighborhood of $2500 or more, as people are talking about 330's selling over $1000 below invoice, and b1gredek is $500 over invoice on a 350. Most dealers are going to want a lot more than $500 over invoice on the 350, and invoice on the 350 is presumably $700 higher than the 330.

So, you'll have to decide if the features of the 350 and the fact that it's a 2007 model are worth the price difference to you.

The base MSRP for an AWD 2007 RX 350 is $1,030 more than the AWD 2006.

I got that off the build your RX 350 feature on the Lexus website.

Why no power folding mirrors? How about the backup parking guidance? I know the latter has something to do with too many lawyers in this country, but no folding mirrors for a luxury SUV this size?

on the RX because the car is rather narrow and short in length and easy to park. The rear back up camera is easy to use and the mirrors tilt down in reverse if you want to look at the curb. The GX470 could really use the auto fold in mirrors, though. The LX has them already. It's hard to argue with the RX features as it is the reason Lexus is number one in the Luxury market. The RX series outsells the whole Infiniti product line all by itself. The new RX350 is the best sport ute I've ever driven and you might like it too once you drive it...

My real question is, if the folding mirror is available in Japan for the RX/ Toyota Harrier, why not in the states?

Even the A4 and the 3 series, which are narrower than the RX, have folding mirrors.

getting through a tight squeeze...On sedans they protect the mirrors when parked from getting knocked around. We have them on the LS and GS and not the IS or ES. The GX could really use them but the feature is not a top priority on the remaining models. The exterior mirror has gotten to be expensive with heating elements, auto dimming, tilt down motor and now auto retraction. Underneath you have the puddle lamps on the LS, GS, and IS. The Harrier has a cool turn signal built in that I also like. These are all nice ideas along with the built in mirror memory. To replace a mirror housing now with original parts can be over $500. I can see why the auto fold back would help protect your investment. It's just that a lot of people never use all the features that the engineers can cook up.

How about replacing rear view mirrors with cameras and LCD displays, the LF-C has it. No chance to damage any mirror. Better aero dynamic and mpg, lower wind noise. Before anyone says it is crazy, don't we have something similiar called backup camera?
