Just bought a 2008 RX 350, but...

I agree, most of these "options" are not really worth the price. In other words, if you damage the tire, the new one costs ~$150. The warranty you're buying runs about the same, so you're paying for the tire even before you damage it.
Not sure if you know, but 70% of profits from selling the car come from selling the warranty coverage.

I guess I was a little vague in my description, but I signed for the car (2008 RX350 with prem plus/navigation/heated seats/rain sensing wipers/tow prep package). The options that the finance guy offered me while we were trying to figure out rates were:
1) mechanical breakdown coverage (also known as the extended warranty)
2) road hazard protection (protection for wheels/tires in case you bump into things a lot)
3) simoniz system
4) GAP loss prevention
5) autobahnd protection (protective film to protect against flying debris to the front of the car)
6) vehicle recovery (lojack)
7) XM radio
I think I'm going to opt out of all of them!

XM Cost
Hi folks,
I am new here and about to close on an RX. How much can I get the dealer to come down on the XM? Of course the quote is $795 - and they say that it is 'thier cost'. Yeah right. But I don't want to push too hard, they are giving me a good deal on the RX. In fact, kind of bending over backwards because of a slight communication.
