To the people in the midwest area, we just pulled our trigger on a Black on Black Rx350 F-Sport at $60,380 which includes almost all options (Triple Beam as well) besides Mark Levinson, Panoramic Sunroof, and Handling package. The vehicle with this exact spec is pretty rare. The more common ones are always sitting at $58,xxx without the triple beam. Therefore, we first started negotiating off the regular ones. One dealer in Chicago agrees to get close to 7% dealer discount that I asked for before the $2500 rebate. After going through a few dealers in Illinois and Michigan, we saw the only vehicle black on black that has the triple beam which is the one we bought. Since it is a bit rare, here is our breakdown:
So when the Chicago dealer agreed to the deal, their car was sold. So I just used 7% on this dealer who had the car I wanted. At first, they said they can only do 5.5%. But when I told them another dealer agrees to 7% and we could drop a little to 6.4%, they just agreed. Therefore I know for sure that the dealer can definitely go over 7% if you really want to negotiate. However, these f-sports are selling so well, every car I saw at the beginning of March was sold within a week, so we couldn't just let my perfect car slide. In conclusion, these F-sports do not stay on the dealer lot. If you want one, and the specs & discounts are what you can deal with, take it. Otherwise, if you are patient, for an f-sport, you should aim for at least an 8%-9% discount since dealers can easily match 7% sometimes. For a base regular model, try shooting for 9-10% especially when you see that other dealers have the same vehicles on their lot via common specs. I was helped greatly by some folks in here and I hope this will help others along the way. Good luck on purchasing your Rx!

Thanks for posting your details. That's a good looking RX! I never noticed, until looking at your photo, that the F-Sport grill pattern is carried over to the brake cooling intakes. Nice touch.

Reason: Numbers correction
After a couple of rounds back and forth, this was the lowest they would go. Last ditch effort on my part to sweeten the deal was tint, which they agreed to throw in for free. However, they balked at my hard push to include paint protection film and mud guards (go figure). Overall, seamless buying experience.
How do you think I did?
I think you did great. Would you mind sharing name of the dealer?
Hello all,
I too am looking at a new RX 350 AWD, with the following specs options...
Premium package, moonroof, heated and ventilated front seats, power rear door with kick sensor, intuitive parking assist, heated leather steering wheel.
Total MSRP after optiosn and delivery is $51,130. I am in NJ, and wondering what would be considered a reasonable discount off MSRP (on top of the current $2500 rebate) to shoot for.
