Help with pricing asap!!!
I just got off the phone with my parents and they are signing papers for a 2010 RX350 FWD for $49,600. This is what iit will be coming with.
Comfort package $1950
Cargo mat $92
12 speaker premium with sound levelizer $110
19 alloy $660
Navi hdd 1 year subscription and XM satellite with 90 day free trial $2465
Intuitive park assist $500
Premium with leather $2400
Tow prep package $238
Wheel locks $81
Wood and leather trim steering/shift **** $330
Cross bar $259
**UPDATED PRICING**
Total: $9085 + $875 (delivery) = $47210 + $2495 (chrome wheels)
= $49705 - $750 (loyalty program for buying cars from them before)
= $48955 - $660 (for replacing regular alloy wheels with chrome ones)
= $48295 * 6.25 (sales tax)
= $51313
After talking to them, my parents got the final price of $49600 TOTAL. Some lady got the exact same car but without the chrome rims and paid $47100. What do you guys think about this price now?

Prices vary from regions but this is a quote from one of the dealers in Mass "The RX350 without Nav has an MSRP of approx. $44306 with the last few selling in a price range from $40,502 to $40,752"
Another quote "The RX350 with Nav & the comfort package (bi-xenon headlamps) has an MSRP of approx. $47,841 with the last few selling in a price range from $43,643 to $43,893"
Again this is the quote I copy from one of the emails I got.

I can see where the dealers got their revenue from... 
When we push hard to get the good discount price, the dealers can always get some breaks from others who are willing to pay more.
LexusK, I think you should encourge your parents to check another dealer if possible, or talk again to get more discount.

From my own personal experience and from what I've read here and there, most people are getting roughly $4k off of sticker. Looks like your parents need to do some serious dickering or go elsewhere. For being past customers, they aren't being treated very well.

not to point out the obvious, but if they were about to sign papers, then it's too late to be asking if the price was right 
I did the same thing with the first car I purchased, but was able to back out and get my deposit back once the responses came back telling me I was paying too much!

Well when they went to the financing department, they decided to hold off because interest was too much or something. I heard something about 6.5%.
Thanks guys, I will tell my parents to go elsewhere. What price do you think they should be paying for this RX with all the options?
