Can people post their 'out the door' prices on their RX330 and the specs? I'm hoping to get the absolute lowest prices since dealerships around here won't budge a penny.

Also, please include which part of the US you bought your RX from, I need as much help as I can get on this. Thanks in advance.

Please email me at storm_ace@hotmail.com if you feel more comfortable discussing your out the door price.

I got mine for $45000 out of the door. Silver/black leather performance package, awd, tow prep, heated seats, cargo matt. No a bad price in my area, Fresno, CA. Hope this help.

Is it really a valid to compare "out the door" prices? Doesn't a MSRP v purchase price make more sense? This comparison eliminates differences in "out the door prices" that might be influenced by trade in's, accessories, tax rates, registration fees, etc...

By the way, I just took delivery of a 330, MSRP of $46,808, purchase price of $43,000. AWD with Nav, ML, 18's, heated seats, wood, DVD, etc.

Local NJ taxes and registration amounted to another $2,700.

$40k out of the door?? no way unless you don't have to pay sales tax. If you really get it out of the door for $40k (ie purchase price is around $37k or $6000 off MSRP) I want another RX330 in my garage (different color this time )

Agree purchase price make more sense. My purchase price is about $41500 (about $2000 off MSRP)

I didn't include sales tax and registration because it varies from state to state. The price I listed was $3100 off MSRP including the destination charge (same everywhere in the US $575). I did some shopping around using the fax attack from fightingchance.com. I even had a salesman call later and offer $3500 off MSRP but I ended up buying from McGrath in Westmont because they had the color/options my wife wanted.

Just some thoughts from my buying experience:

I sent bid sheets to 18 dealers and 10 responded. Most were offering $1500 to $2000 off MSRP on the initial offers. One dealer called me and said they don't usually discount off MSRP and said I would not be able to find anyone that would really come down on the price. When I told him I already had $2100 off MSRP he shut up and said he did not have any available at the time anyways.

Another dealership said they could only come down $1500 because they were selling so well at MSRP. That dealership just happened to be owned by the same person I bought mine from in the suburbs Go figure.

Good luck!

Central Florida prices are in the $1500 to $2000 of MSRP. All dealers inthe State are in this range.

I got $2800 off of MSRP from my Atlanta area dealer.

Sounds like the same vehicle I got except I opted for FWD. My MSRP was 45,248. The dealer knocked off 1000.00. But it was only funny money since I had a trade in anyway. And Tennessee sales tax at another 7% was another 7%.

From what I see here, it all depends on the area, competition, and demand. They don't stay on the lot longer than two days here, so you pay for them. And I don't blame a dealer at all for that.

Although I don't know the 330 pricing I know that Beverly Hills CA dealer has huge discounts. Example: I got $6000 off MRPR of a new IS300. I'm sending my step-dad there to pick up a new GS300, and while they haven't settled on the price just yet, we are expecting to get about $4000 off.

Contact Fritz there, I give this guy full credit, if you vizit their website he's got an e-mail link. All negotiations/agreements can and most likely will bre arranged over the e-mail. Buying cars from these guys is like taking a candy from a baby well... almost, lol!

I'm not sure, but I think dealers may be getting special factory rebates/incentives now for that promotion that's been advertised lately (the Lexus Golden Opportunity event?), hence the deep discount on the IS and other non RX models. I just received another ad for it in the mail today. It's also the end of the 2003 model year and the dealers are proabbaly trying to get rid of their inventory to make room for 2004 models.
