Default 2021 RX prices

I have decided I’d like to buy a 2021 RX350 as this model year now has black carpet and dashboard (rather than brown).
I originally negotiated $4000 off on a similar 2020 ($54,160 MSRP) plus $3000 rebate.

The 2021 RX350 (MSRP $51,185) I decided I did not need Navigation.
mom being offered a $1000 discount, plus the $1500 Rebate.
(it’s going to cost me $4500 more for the 2021- GULP!)
I’m in SW Florida.
Has anyone been able to negotiate better pricing on the 2021 RX 350? How big a discount?
thank you

No Navi? I am not sure that helps with resale demand. Does it still have Carplay/Andriod Auto?
Regarding price, you are the buyer, you have power. Shop around.
Buying early in the year generally costs more.
Good luck.

Default Can anyone help with discount $$ on 2021 RX 350?

Anyone purchased a 2021 RX 350? What discount did you get? I’m looking at a $51k vehicle.

The impact navigation these days is nothing much since Carplay and Android Auto having been made standard since MY20 and offering a better upto date experience then the standard nav. I do agree that buying early is going to be $$ then buying late.

Agree, Waze is the best GPS out there. What I don't know is, do you get Carplay/Android Auto if you do not get Navi?
Further, I find it terrible that earlier Lexi, like our loaded 2018 RX450h, does not have Carplay/Android Auto.

Default Navigation

There are more and more cars being manufactured without Navi now that Apple car play is standard. Those cars a still fitted with 20” wheels and other premium features.

I settled on a $1750 discount and $1500 rebate on my RX350. I know I paid too much but the value of my trade is about to drop with the new model year so I bit the bullet and took the deal.
we keep our cars 7 years so that softens the blow.

Market forces.

The RX is the leading the crossover sales even with deficits in many areas, the only time you see a change is when customers decide that "hey how are we paying 50-60K for a vehicle that has less features then a bog standard $15k Corolla?".

Presenting the refreshed MY20 RX, with standard Lexus Safety suite 2.0, Carplay android auto (nav is optional)

Its standard on the website. Dont worry the rebates basically never expire till mid march or some kind of market downturn or uptrend.

Default Thanks!

Thank you for that encouragement. I want to buy a car I LOVE. My 2013 RX 350 has a saddle brown interior. I have been holding out for the return of that color. Instead they decided to use the Toyota Carmel color. To me it looks like pumpkin pie. Who chooses the interior colors? Orange leatherette doesn’t not live up to the beautiful saddle brown I have now.
