Yeah I was thinking I got ripped off on a Premium + for roughly $2,500 or so off msrp.

Took the RX350H Premium+ just couple of hour ago. Loved the drive back home. Digital rear view mirror need some getting used to. Digital rear view mirror kind of crazy, I can see people in car.

I had doubts, it may not happen today. Thanks kry226, went with no emotion, and ready to walk out. Vehicle arrived today, then, I started getting calls to show up to get the vehicle. All ended well.

Thanks all for the help. Will post pictures with day light.

Congratulations!

And I drove a view vehicles with that digital rear view mirror. It can be difficult to use at times. Since I went with the Premium and not the Premium Plus, it was not available. I don't really miss it though.

Congrats! Enjoy!

Congrats! I am sure you will enjoy your ride, my RX is my first Lexus having traded in my Acura MDX (no hybrid model so I made the switch).

It's been a few years since I owned a Lexus and am looking at an RX450h+ for my wife. This Forum was helpful years ago so hoping again.
I have two "Window Stickers" from 2 White RX 450h+ that we saw at the dealer. When he sent his quote, he sent one that had MSRP $68,730. The one I saw had a MSRP $68,230. I am trying to figure out what is the $500 difference?
Vehicle 1 - Description 2024 / 9443A 4WD PHEV LUX. Color White Pearl MSRP $68,730 VIN JTJCJMGA6R2014323
Vehicle 2 - Description 2024 / 9443C 4WD PHEV LUX Color White Pearl MSRP $69,230 VIN JTJCJMGA9R2015725
A line by line comparison shows the exact same Standard Equipment. Why $500 difference? Anyone know?

From my research, the $500 is the extra charge for some paint colors. You sure the 2nd (cheaper) VIN is also white?

As far as I know (but I'm not an expert), all the RX450h+ start out identical, except for the packages and other optional stuff that are tacked on.

I did notice that the more expensive JTJCJMGA9R2015725 had the Lexus quick charge cables, but that's only a difference of $85 to the final price. Premium paint is $500, but both are eminent pearl white

​​​​​​​It looks like both are advertised as eminent pearl white.

Looking at the factory sticker for my Matador Red Mica, starting price is $69230. I know which one I'd go with if I'm ready to purchase

Hope Pleasanton gives a better discount, I ended up picking mine up from SoCal as I got a significant discount compared to any of the Bay Area dealers.

Would you check the MSRP on the second VIN? I think it should be $69,230. The cars built and purchased in 2023 had base MSRP of $68,730. At some point in 2024, they raised the prices for all models. I bought mine in October 2023 and the base MSRP was $68,730. I did notice that it was $500 more in 2024. Your older VIN was probably built in 2023 and the newer VIN later with the higher base MSRP. Also the factory and port add ons are not part of the base MSRP, including the premium paint. They are added after the base MSRP to get the MSRP. Also, my car model number is 9443A and the new car is 9433C.

Here is the base MRSP for my early build, and below one on sale now.

You can turn off the digital mirror and use it like the old days

Wow... I didn't know the PHEV RXs were assembled in Japan.
Just grabbed my RX500h with 7K off with 7 miles. Almost chose my GX550 allocation but the RX500h is so seksy and cheaper! I will wait 2-3 years until the GX gets its kinks out.

Well, after 60ish days its ready for delivery. I chose to put my name on a 24' 350h premium (wanted a plus but with 19" wheels, but that's impossible to find), However very happy with the add ons that i could get (Cold, Convenience, Digital Key, 14" screen, kick, mud guards, and the optional window tint) with an MSRP of $59,159. In my experience i had some realities that i needed to overcome.

1. You are going to purchase at MSRP ... i have never , ever , ever done this, however on a vehicle that is in extremely high demand, this is how it goes !
2. There is no custom ordering, you get what its produced and then it gets matched to you (as close as possible) - this was an eye opener for me.
3. You are purchasing one of the top in-demand vehicles in North America ... if you don't want it after you order it, it will be sold in the next 24 hours.
4. You have no leverage on the sale ... Maybe you can argue the doc fees, but for the most part $0 discounts
Definitely not my first car purchase, but i needed to accept this to get the vehicle .... LOL, I may need therapy now !

However, If you are like me on the fence or have an order and are in waiting time ... I have read the forum almost daily and have gain lots of knowledge, especially around the different systems and expectations. I have been dealing with Lexus of Tulsa and my biggest complaint is with the dealer communications, after I was trying to communicate every 2 weeks for just a confirmation that a vehicle was actually found with my wants there was no attempt to contact me or follow up, total silence, until ... oh hey you car is here .... My impression, am not their number one customer ... but in a seller market this is how it goes (here is that therapy thing again)

In the end this are great cars and i expect a great deal of satisfaction, just put the sale part aside and enjoy to the fullest !!!

Drive on !

If you don't mind, can you please share the name of the dealer in NJ via DM. Thanks.

Not sure about that dealer but Prestige in Ramsey discounts the 350h. We purchased a Premium plus in Feb for roughly $2,500 off msrp. It was off an allocation and we took delivery about four weeks later.
