No-just tested the AWD as it was all I wanted....I take frequent trips to Tahoe in the winter so it was a necessity.

Invoice was $46,837. Most dealers I spoke with were willing to go just shy of invoice at $46,800 but I knew there was some motivation to close a deal much lower on the last day of the month.

What dealer in so.cal? When I went to Tustin last 2 days the dealer have no idea on what they have in stock or care to sell any. Also they have no idea what rx f-sport means.... i guess they are either newbies or met their quotas for the month...

ok, thanks. If that's the case then it saved me one less headache on making the decision or finding the availability of vehicle.
Don't you think with 8 gears will get better gas mileage? Seems like 25 mpg for hwy kinda low...

"The RX 350 F SPORT’s eight-speed automatic transmission has paddle shifters as standard equipment. It yields quick shifting response with help from miniature high-flow linear solenoids that allow more precise clutch operation. The torque converter uses a low-speed lockup damper to enable lock-up from first to eighth gear to help improve the fuel economy.
The RX 350 F SPORT model features an electronically controlled Active Torque Control AWD system. Active Torque Control AWD uses an electronically controlled coupling ahead of the rear differential to vary torque distribution anywhere from 100:0 to 50:50 front to rear, depending on driving dynamics and road conditions. When accelerating, or starting off on a low-grip surface, torque is quickly provided to all four wheels. At steady speeds, torque is sent only to the front wheels, enhancing fuel efficiency. The model is expected to earn EPA ratings of 19 mpg city, 25 mpg highway, 21 mpg combined."

Went to local Lexus dealer last night and they said the RX F-Sport is pending Customs/delivering to them in few days.
This particular dealer has 4 coming.... price will be 52k fully loaded.
Also, they are telling that this new RX will only need 87 gas? Not sure if I want to put 87 gas but if it's build for 87 then why not? I have them re-confirm and they said yes to me many many time.... I still can't buy it....

You can get about $1000 to $1500 under invoice on any rx that is in their garage.
Except the F-Sport which they are receiving. I wanted the F-Sport with the 8 speed but it will cost me $4,000 more OTD which I can spend on something else. Plus the car is for my wife which I know she will bang up.

500 miles a week x 52 weeks = 26000 miles
87 gas is average .20 cheaper than 91 = $5200 of saving.
So for me in one year I can get the money back....even though I'm losing values as I rack those mileages up like MF...
