kbb.com didn't include hold back when I checked. Add about $1000 to what kbb says. I didn't try edmunds.

For the record, I got $500 above invoice, which for my car at 48,700 MSRP was like $4600 off.

Cheers,
John

I have to say. This number is very good. I also believe they have $4500 - $5000 difference between MSRP and Invoice.

Wow, this is what I love to have, but cannot find a single $47K RX with this feature here. Great job to find it. (I found 51K and 53K which do have this...)


Remote Start (installed) $ 701.00

This is the dealer installation. The factory Remote Engine Start is about $375.
I am looking for the FWD as we don't get any snow in Phoenix. All they have is AWD though and seem to be unwilling to order a FWD. Is this AWD as equipped a good deal at about $47k out the door?

I have an FWD on order in Tucson. It is supposed to be on a boat right now. (Ordered in February.) I special ordered it because I wanted some options that the dealers normally can't get any other way, or so it seems, like radar cruise control and parking sensors. I'd think any dealer would be willing to order anything you want.

If your MSRP is $48,329.00, $47K isn't good. I meant it's not good for this month since more and more ppl got 3K-4K discounts out of MSRP recently.

Again, you request the rare model (with HUD), it "may" be hard to get the price right. However, I'd suggest you should try to check johnpg thread, who got the GREAT deal with the rare model in LA, where is closer to AZ.

I haven't actively been looking for the HUD feature. What does it do for you exactly? I'll check that other thread out. Thanks!

Has anyone heard if Lexus will be offering any incentives on the 2010 RX 350's for Memorial Day or in June? A sales person in AZ told me today that it was pretty likely that it would be happening then. But who knows if what he was telling me was true??

Dunno if the incentives in Memorial Day would really work and make the discount further more (>$4.5K). I guess the price around Invoice is the best you can get, no matter what holidays or weekends you are doing your shopping.

The time around the end of month or Memorial Day may just helps speed up the whole process of the price negotiation. They want to sell more cars in final days... IMO.

That's funny.

That's nowhere near accurate.

What's missing? Or is KKB/Edmunds not accurate?

Edmunds / KBB is fair to moderately accurate.

That spreadsheet is not.

Back to lexus... We picked up a new RX350 last week here in the Seattle area.

Didn't get the unbelievable deals that some are you getting, but 2500 off MSRP and a great trade in on our 2008 MDX was good enough for us.

Starfire/Cashmere and lots of options. No HUD or ML though.

Default Got it, finally!

Picked up my RX350 this afternoon-

Black Sapphire with parchment interior. Comfort, Nav, Premium, Tow Prep, Remote start. All in all, extremely happy. So far so good! Except I'm averaging 6 mpg...gotta reset that gauge I think.

I love the acceleration and the quiet ride. No problems there at all.

Stereo is another issue. I turn the volume past 18-19 and I hear a very distinct warping/rattling of the passenger tweeter. Gotta get that checked out. 30 days/1000 miles is free correct? My salesman, must have been misinformed and said only the 5000 mi was included.

Ok some rambling, but you can't blame me. Once the weather clears, pics will follow...

What comes in the "Comfort Package" ? Is that part of the premium package or is it in addition to and how much is it?

I was able to find a 2010 RX 350 for $46k OTD. It is a FWD, premium pkg, navigation pkg, remote start, heated/ventilated seats, 19" alluminum alloy wheels, wood/leather trimmed steering wheel and shift, cross bars, wheel locks, cargo net, and cargo mat. Sticker is $45,121. Would you guys consider this a good deal?
