Default RX330 in NJ Please Help!

Hey, I currently have an RX300 which I got from Difeo Lexus on route 22 in NJ. My lease runs up in a couple months, so I need to order an RX330 now. I went to Difeo about ordering one and after tough negociation, the best price I got was $1200 off MSRP (500 repeat customer plus 700). The RX330 I configured had the premium plus package, 18" wheels, heated front seats, wheel locks,navigation and cargo mat making the MSRP $43, 988. I was wondering how this compares to the deals others are getting in NJ, since I have read people getting a couple thousand off MSRP, and being a 3rd time customer at Difeo, I do not feel like I am getting the best deal. My leasing came out to $590 a month after taxes, with a Residual of 60%, money factor of .00205 and 0 down, but $1789 due at inception (tax, license and 1st month payment). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi-

I bought from Difeo Lexus. I got my RX330 for $43k. MSRP was $45,600. It's a performance package with nav/rearview camera. This is my 5th Lexus with Difeo.

soft, which dealer did you go to, and what exactly do you mean by "loaded"? Thanks, b/c your lease deal sounds great!

Lex - my 330 is equipped just like yours (see my sig - I also have the cargo mat & wheel locks) and MSRP is $42,428. Why is yours $43,988? Did the dealer add something else not on the factory sticker?

I have FWD - so duh I didn't think of the AWD option.

Have you been able to get a better deal than $1200 off? Hopefully you can get them to come off the price a little more. If you are doing another lease there is a 1.25% tax special thru 9/2. I financed mine -but the lease will save you quite a bit on taxes.

TexRB, havent been able to check out other dealers yet. I hope some of the other guys from Jersey will read this, including the guy who posted in this thread...since I need to order right away to make sure I get my 330 by the time my 300's lease runs up.
