Default CA dealers with the best deals

Hi guys,
I'm looking to buy a '13 RX 350 FWD. Which Bay area or internet dealers offer the best pricing and not stick me with the MSRP?
I'm posting the same question here in case some of you might not visit the norcal forum.

Thanks,
James

Give Putnam Lexus a try. Contact Jennifer Bliss. I found the deal of my RX350 AWD is decent, almost 11% off MSRP and Jennifer is easy to deal with. I heard some other members got 12%-15% off too from other places.

I've heard good things about Fremont. We had a good experience at Stevens Creek buying our CPO. Mario was super easy to deal with. No pressure and no annoying visit from the Sales Manager like we got in Marin. Marin made me feel like we were getting the hard sell at a Hyundai dealer.

I live in Pleasanton and have negotiated excellent deals with Fremont Lexus (Magnessun) and Pleasanton Lexus. Fremont Lexus is easier to just walk in and get a very good price. I would start there and give other dealers the chance to counter offer, but be fair and give Fremont the final shot. My best deal of all time was at Steven's Creek, but that was years ago. Deals vary over time as promotions and discounts come and go. Sometimes it takes a little time to get a great deal. I have never been able to walk into a dealership and get a really low quote immediately.

We have bought three Lexus vehicles from Lexus of Fremont (Magnussun) over the past five or so years. Live in the Sacramento area .. but have driven to Fremont for our cars. I have zero affiliation with them, but have been a very happy customer. They dont play games when negotiating a deal, and have treated us like family.. so I heartily recommend them to friends and family..

Tustin Lexus in Orange County - about $6K off F Sport and about $5200 off a regular RX 350.

Cheers,

Agreed! Great deals off the f-sport. Orange country seems a bit far from here but I'll get on the phone to see how good of a deal I can get. Cost of a flat bed truck to get the car here is probably $1K. Will see.
Thanks for all the contact info guys.

Plenty of competition in the Bay Area. You should be able to replicate any internet deal with a So Cal dealer locally.

If I were to buy from an Orange County dealer, I'd make a mini-adventure out of it. Plane ticket, cab, hotel, meals & gas would be half what that flatbed would cost.

+1 ... both of the dealerships I mentioned above quoted me $6,500 off my 450h when I purchased it ... may not mean much right now (don't know what incentives are in effect today).

Why pay for tow and let go the experience of driving your new RX on PCH/along the beach on a nice sunny afternoon with your girlfriend/wife or lover if the car is for her.
$1k goes a long way now days. Just saying!
Good luck
