$712 over Invoice post 2088; 18's, Nav, Prem.+,AFS, HID, etc... MSRP 45083 from McDermott Lexus. I don't know how we came up with that figure but Hoffman in Hartford offered for less but didn't have the color combo in stock... Black Onyx / Grey Leather. UPS says my Thunder Cloud Grille (the best part of the package to me) will be in on July 14th all the way from Japan, I'll post a link to some pics once it's installed, it'll probably be on one of the Lexus owners sites... TC Grille / Black Onyx = Awesome :) OEM Green footwell lights and rear airplane style seat back drop down trays may be next.

I purchased my Brand New Black/Gray RX330 Premium Plus, Nav, 18's, etc... on June 8th. Many folks here helped me out, as in the post above. I got the best information by reading previous post. I noticed that some people are asking for a best price in a specific region, and on the previous page someone just explained the good deal they just received from a dealer in that same locality. Definitely go back at least 10 pages or so reading up to recent post and you'll start to see trends not only in your area but across the country. The information isn't that old and is very helpful. Also, if some dealers aren't familiar with Edmunds (I tend to believe most internet sales people know edmunds very well) you can cut and paste various post into your email negotiations to them,.... or for walk-ins, you can print out the pages and post that closest resemble the deal that you are looking for and bring them to the dealership. ;) Just trying to help new members out as best I can... the more deals you read about, the easier it'll be for you to sniff out a bad deal, which hopefully will save you some money.

Now is the time to research pricing on Edmunds and Consumer Reports. Edmunds.com s' DealSmart will give you Invoice prices and TMV prices... or what people are paying for the RX in your area. Get your finances in order first i.e. Savings, pre-approvals, E-Loans, whatever you're going to use.... HAVE YOUR MONEY READY AND BE A CASH BUYER, plan on being an Invoice up buyer and not an MSRP down negotiator and monthly payment buyer. Send your request for quotes out to local dealers through Edmunds, you can include dealers from bordering states. If it's a week-day you will be flooded with email offers within a couple of hours (some dealers will be quicker to respond than others and some may not respond at all) The dealers will try and coax you into the Dealership (via email without committing to a price) for a test drive and to build excitement, Excitement sells... as a buyer you don't want to be excited until you get the Keys to your RX at the price YOU want to pay. In your emails be shrewd and exacting, but not so tough that you turn the salesman off... I highly recommend reading "Confessions of a Car Salesman" at the edmunds site, it really gives you a sense for what's going on at dealerships these days. Once you break the email ice, start talking numbers and when you want to buy, the internet sales manager will start quoting you numbers. If you know the Invoice price for the RX with the options you want, the numbers will look familiar or close to what you want to pay. Email the other dealers and tell them "The guy at "This Lexus Dealer" quoted me i.e. "39388" for the model I want etc... Go round and round til one of them hits your magic number, compare that number to what we're paying here on the forum. Get them to commit to that magic number in email including taxes, destination, conveyance, and THEN go to the dealership with an "almost" done deal before you walk into the dealership. If they try any funny business with the bait and switch, or hidden charges... Walk. Of course, know the vehicle you want to purchase well before you start the process. Also know the vehicles competition i.e. Infiniti FX, Acura MDX, BMW X3, Volvo XC90, and so on. Get all your test driving out of the way before hand. Hope this helps some.

The "We don't deal, or discuss, Invoice pricing" is one of the strongest sales stances a dealer can take. BUT it's usually only used on potential buyers they feel they can get away with it. DON'T fall for it... if you show them some green / prove you're a real buyer with a good FICO score they should change their tune, if not, walk. Use Edmunds TMV and the site to request dealer quotes from near and far. Balise Lexus in Mass. http://www.baliseauto.com/en_US/ click on search new Lexus... advertises Invoice and Msrp on their site. Plus read back a couple of pages on this thread and you'll see some Boston Dealers that deal. BTW :) I love my New '05 Black on Gray Premium Plus w/Nav RX330... The whole family just took a short 2 hr trip to Wrentham Mass for a wedding... it was so smooth on the road and the Navigation was spot on, I'm so use to using Mapquest it was hard not to go to the PC and print out directions but the Nav gave the best route and was fun to use. My kids had plenty of room... my 12 year old is 5'11" and had plenty of room to spare. I was able to lean the front passenger seat back (I'm 6'2") and it didn't bother my little 7 year old. My wife drove and I read the owners manual :D we're up to 450 miles. I'm going to put on a Lexus OEM Thundercloud grill just because I like the chrome horizontal lines, a Lexus OEM hitch for my kids bikes on a Thule bike carrier, and maybe a Thule roof cargo box for the OEM rack. Thule has a nice aerodynamic High gloss black box that's a good size but short enough that the auto rear door will still open all the way(Evolution 1600 672B). That will be it for adds... Maybe a rear DVD, I think I can get the Lexus one? This is a very, very nice vehicle. Those of you out there who are like me that research the heck out of everything will be happy with this SUV.

Hello austinite, When you send your "Request for Quotes" out via Edmunds website, all (If you select all) your local dealers will be notified that you would like a quote on a new RX330. They will also know that you're requesting through Edmunds and most of the internet sales managers will respond with invoice up pricing, some won't want to play our game, but for the most part you'll find a few local dealers willing to bargain. I thought I was going to have to drive an hour or two to a larger Lexus dealer to get my vehicle at TMV (or xxx above invoice), but I was able to purchase at a small margin above invoice (see my previous post) from my local dealer. Good luck (I'm very happy with the car... smooth, quite, and solid... The dealer gave my wife a dozen roses at delivery) :shades:
Research Process and My average deal
by rastafori on Wed Jun 08 02:17:51 PDT 2005
I actually enjoy the research process for anything I purchase, I've always been the type who will read Car & Driver and Consumer reports. To me finding the "best" product (for me) regardless of price and then getting the best deal on that product is fun... call me weird. I'll sit in my office and spend a few minutes poking around various sites, and on Sunday morning surfing the web (about the same amount of time someone would spend reading the Sunday Times). It's not a wholesale sell-out of my life to save $2, I make sure I get exactly what I want. Yesterday I purchased my RX330 Black Onyx, Gray Leather, Nav, Tow, 18s, HID AFS, etc... for $712 over Invoice. Maybe not the best deal as many members here are doing better, but I only wanted Gray interior, and everyone seemed to have Tan leather with Black Onyx. I know for a fact that if I took any color combination (same options) I would have saved substantially more. The upside to the deal is the dealer is only 25 minutes away with pick up from the home or office, valet service, Lexus loaners, and very nice people (McDermott in CT) I was really expecting to have to leave the state to get an invoice up deal. I only went to one dealer, gave him a check, and walked out 1 hour later... I take delivery at 3pm today. Ultimately my internet negotiations saved me $4,483.00... AND I got the exact model, color combination, and options I wanted. Now I have to slave away researching and negotiating the best price for the Family Disney Vacation at the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa.
