Locate an Auto Repair Shop in Glendale, Arizona

Bruuster, thanks for the reply. I think I made the $700 figure up. If you don't mind me asking, where in SoCal are you? Which dealer are you using? How much paying? Sport limited/not sport? Glendale is closest dealership for me, but salesmen are sleezy. Sherman Oaks seems to have a much better rep. But I don't mind going further afield for the right deal.

Reporting back in : Thanks to all you folks with your deals and dealer info, I flew to San Francisco and LA, to visit my son up north, and to find my deal on the new RX 350. I ended up buying at Lexus of Glendale, and took delivery about 2 hours after the sale, when the car was finished with detailing. Drove it back to my home in Scottsdale, AZ. My car had a MSRP of $46, 800.It has nav package, 19 inch wheels, luxury package, heated and ventilated seats, much more, etc. I explained to a manager, I was ready to buy, right then, for the deal I wanted, after I had found on the lot the car I wanted, and to forget the back and forth stuff if you want to sell me one for my offer. I told him no trade, big cash down, and very good credit. I took a straight 11% off bottom factory sticker, for a selling price of $41650.00, plus tax and license, out the door. No trade. He accepted and threw in a few dealer items as well. I was fine with that. No buyer's remorse here for me. We'll never know what the REAL dealer cost is on these cars, and as most of you know, they are very eager to show a invoice these days. You can bet invoice is not really what these dealers pay for these cars. The dealers and manufactures have gotten together a few years ago, and built invoices they know the customer will see. That's ok. That's what they need to do to sell cars these days, as so many of us want good deals, and are armed with pretty good numbers when we walk in. Nice drive back through the desert for me , as I'm happy with the car so far. It is not my first Lexus RX, but the new body and changes in the dash layout with NAV is very nice, with the screen being recessed deep in it's own alcove, which is a BIG improvement in viewing over early RX's. Nice smooth quiet ride at high speeds also. Thanks again to all here, for the ammunition I got on this forum , to help educate me, and arm me for the buy,with comparison deals, you all received on your purchase. Great forum, this. Cheers

cb6: Thx for the info. So if I read that right you ended up buying the car you wanted with X lights and Comfort at Serramonte Lexus at $1000 under ? I'll be in Napa tonight, so may go there, and if unable there, head south to Glendale Lexus, as another recommended here. Thx again .

Thx, Sir200 . I plan on being in one by the end of this weekend. Waiting on a call back from Glendale Lexus, right now. Good to hear your' Boss', is now happy . THX

By all means go for 1k under invoice Nazz. It may depend on the particular car and package you are looking at but sounds like in your situation in AZ it would be worth your while to buy one in CA. I settled at invoice as I had a difficult time locating one with the exact package + color scheme I wanted. I pretty much had every dealer in So Cal looking for it. The sheer amount of emails and calls with 'alternative offers' I got in the last week and a half was pretty funny. The road block for me was the Parking Assist. Most of them with Parking Assist have the Comfort or Luxury Package which I didn't want. Plus I sort of sold my wifes SUV out from under her last week ha ha. (Hey I got an offer I couldnt refuse) She was giving me the stink eye and asking me how I would like walking to work as I didn't quite have a replacement for her up until Lexus of Glendale finally came through for me. For what its worth, most of the dealer add-ons I saw were the Preferred Accessories Package, Cross Bars and/or Door Guards. Good Luck!
