I wound up getting the very last black sapphire pearl color they had on the lot. So I'm stoked about that! It's premium with Nav and Ill be having the remote start and the rear dvd packages installed as well. Black interior which I think looks great with the exterior color. Wound up paying 49K so with the other stuff I added on and taxes and what not, I think that seemed good and in line with what I see alot of people posting here.

I'm so amped up I could barely sleep last night! I can officially be a part of the club here! hehehe

RXSF- It was dark when we were there last night so I didn't get a good look at the color. But from what they told me, theres hardly any difference between that and Obsidian. The stargazer just has some shiny specs to make it pop more.

Thanks for all the replies. Everyone's so nice here

If you talk too much, you reveal your weaknesses (personality) - they're trained to look for that. Just put your (reasonable) price out there and wait; wait a week, wait a month if you have to. They will cave eventually.

I was in Sales for years...
In my case I waited 3 months. I made an offer on a 2010 RX 350 at $500 under invoice 3 months ago. Then, last month my offer was $1,000 under invoice. I also said $300 over invoice on a 2011 version.

On the last day of the month (09/30) sales manager called and agreed to $300 over invoice (no doc or prep fees) on a new 2011 RX 350. I took the deal. I got the color and options desired at my price.


2011 RX 350
Tungsten/Grey
MSRP $47,700
