lol that's an accurate estimate. I emailed the dealer asking if 36000 drive out price would work, he said the best he could do is 36000 without tax and other fees . I will look around for sure, and at the meantime try to knock several more hundreds on this one at the mean time. Thanks for your help, much appreciated.
If you insist on buying a CPO, try to work on an out of state deal and have them ship it to you. You'd still save money after shipping.

I am also from Houston TX. The used Lexus market in this area is highly inflated because people are willing to pay for them. Even a local dealership here has a non-haggle policy on their CPOs. I'd try to work on a really good deal for a new 2020. The difference would be about 6-7K or less vs a 2017 CPO but you'll get a new RX with 10 miles and full warranty. I see most of the time, a used 2019 is priced about the same, if not more expensive, vs. a 2020 after incentives.

But yeah, thanks for raising the idea of get one out of state and ask them to ship. Never thought about this option before.

Probably I went to the wrong dealer. The one I checked with insisting that since RX350 is super popular the best he would offer is 0 APR financing option, but nothing else. I did tell him I wouldn't consider it at this price (~55, 500 for one equipped with navigation and premium package) and walked away, telling him let me know if there's a special going on or a futher discount is possible. He never called back so I guess he does not have too much problem selling them at MSRP here.
