Lexus RX350 2021
So here is an actual purchase made today
Lexus RX 350 2021 Base Model
MSRP 46670
Dealer discount 2886.03
Private tag fee 60
No dealer fee (Florida purchase- this and one other dealer charge no dealer fee but also do not discount as aggressively as other dealers that add 900-1300 in fees
State tax 2656
Battery and lemon law fee 8.50
Registration 81.85 (transfer of tag- would have been around $400 for new vehicle)
Rebate 2000
OTD price 44590.35
A few tidbits- the vehicle was one of only 3 vehicles in the entire state of Florida with the same MSRP and moonbeam beige metallic color, which my wife loved. The 4th vehicle was sold at the same dealership earlier yesterday AM. I was going to try to hold out until the end of the month, but there was no new similar inventory coming in at any dealer in the state, and there was actually someone else who had contacted the dealership about the vehicle I bought (I also got the OTD price a little lower as the sales manager did not calculate the tax correctly- something I had to point out to her.). This supply chain issue with the microchips is a real mess, leaving many dealerships with no idea when their next allotment of new vehicles will arrive.
I think I could have gotten a lower price by Memorial Day, but I am pretty certain the vehicle I bought (and the dealership is only 7 miles from home) would have sold.

Thanks for noting that dealer fees must be included in calculating the actual discount. Too many on this forum report big discounts, then show paying huge fees or, worse yet, neglecting to mention the fees paid. In order to be useful to future buyers, discounts must be reported net of dealer fees.

Inventory of new RX350's
Considering trading in my 2018 RX for a 2021 RX. I am in south Florida and have looked at 4 dealers via the Internet near me. There is next to no available inventory around - maybe 1-3 RX's at each. Why is there such a low inventory around?

That's also going on here up in the NE. Almost no F Sports to be found and when you do find one, it's gone within days. I've been look around for F Sports and emailing dealerships for quotes, and they flat-out refuse to negotiate. I finally turned to the Costco program to get a 4.5% discount on an inbound F Sport. I'm worried that the incentives will be poor next month when it arrives, but right now if you want an F Sport you have to pay up and pay up fast. I wish my lease wasn't ending now and I could wait for better conditions.

Inventory of new RX350
From what every dealer has told me, it is due to the shortage of micro chips that are part of each new vehicle. This is affecting almost every manufacturer, and I don’t think anyone really has a good guess as to when this will end.

Im in the northern NJ market and it's difficult. I am about to settle on a base model but I just had a question, is it possible to upgrade the 8 inch screen to the 12 inch one later on? It's the only thing that bothers me on the base model I'm looking at, it even has a sun roof which I thought was extra.
