No, I don't play soccer!
Agree with jskennedy. The discount should be around $3-4K.
Re financing, Chase has always given me the best rates. And they give an additional .25% off for direct payment. I'll get another .25% off for having an account with them which will put me around 4.06%. Your parents can also check rates here http://www.bankrate.com/auto.aspx

It's not too late. My parents did the same thing recently - bought on a Saturday, cancelled the following Monday. Considering the dealer is familiar with them, there shouldn't be a problem.

+1 kitlz, the stealership is taking advantage of them. The only way to buy a car is with the invoice in hand, you negociate up from there, not down from MSRP and never pay a processing fee!!

Best Way, IMO
dont let them pin you to a specific car. they are trained to do that. have your parents go visist 2 dealers and ask what "Percent Off List" they will honor if they buy the car there. i got 9%. THEN pick the car. if they have to trade to get the car in they may add a couple of hundred (no more!) but if you use the % you dont have to guess if it is a good deal.

On the topic of price, I'm getting ready to get an RX450h w/ Nav. I wanted to get it with the RSES but they are making very very few of them in my color choice. Well the Mrs' color choice At first, a dealer said that they preferenced the vehicle. After about a month, he calls back and says no can do and that they were told by Lexus that I would have to wait about 3 months. I found another dealer who has the color choice w/ Nav and said that they will install an after market Dual screen RSES. The screen will be in the head rest. I've agreed to the price of 51K. The previous dealer was charging me 51.5K but was willing to sell me a car with Nav & RSES he had in stock for 50.7K.
I live in the CT. Do you folks thinks this is an OK deal for this car with these options / packages ? I believe that it has just about everything else with the exception of the Heads-up Display, Auto Speed adjusting Cruise & the Mark Levinson sound system.
Thank you in advance for your responses.

Thx, Storm. While I agree with what you are saying, I have been unable to locate a car in Red with the Nav & RSES. I have contacted numerous dealers and all have told me that Lexus is not building that many cars with RSES and even less in that color. As per the dealer, the RSES they are installing is a Lexus Factory version. Although I doubt that but I don't have proof. However, they are warranting it for the same period as the car - 4 yr. / 40K miles. The other benefit is that we will be able to listen to the music via CD while the kids watch their movie. The RSES units will also feature wireless headphones like the OEM. We've been stuck with just one car, a Honda Civic, after I crashed the '99 GS400 back in August. Thus, it's starting to become a royal pain in getting this car. I'm at the point of forgoing the exterior color and almost did. But the Mrs did not want the Pearl White exterior and the current version was the only viable alternative that gets us the car in a couple of weeks. I just wish I had the luxury of being able to wait 3 months or so for the perfect car.

I doubt that it is the lexus factory version though. I went to 2 dealers here in Mass and both offer 2 different versions (non-factory): 1 is the replacement of the headrest and the other they said they will actually cut up the headrest and install the unit there. The good thing is they said the units are under warranty as if they are factory units but the price is quite high though (3K). I ended up ordering the car but the wait is killing me....
