Default 2015 RX 450h Best Price So Far?

I live in Northeast region(NJ). There are many Lexus dealers (approx. 40) in our area within couple of hours drive. I am looking to buy Rx 450h with all available packages. How can I get the best price? What is the current on-going price for 2015 RX 450h? I will appreciate if someone can provide feedback

We purchased a 2015 RX450h AWD at the end of 2014 during the year end sales event. We didn't get all of the packages (namely the Luxury package) but was able to find one with HUD that we really wanted. MSRP was $59500, and we negotiated $55000 before TTL. This was in SoCal.

What does it mean by "HUD"? You got for $4000 below Msrp which is a good deal

HUD is heads up display, not a commonly found option on the 450h. They're also not as discounted as the 350 which averages around 10%. Here is a thread for more information. And for many of us the only way to get what we wanted was to special order. It's probably not something you can do at this point with the the 2016 RX coming out later this year. So it might be a matter of settling for what's left.

HUD = "Head Up Display", aka a "hologram" that displays in the driver's windshield with speed, Nav turn info if you have Nav, and Infotainment channel info when you make a change to it.

If you want the best price, you need to deal with internet salesmen. E-mail all of dealership with exact specifications of the RX450h that you want. Pick the lowest price and go there.
I drove to Philly to pick mine up because local dealers wouldn't budge as much on the price.
I also wanted one with the least number of packages - too much fluff for me to spend money on.
The least-configured RX450h (on a lot) has more than enough bells and whistles. Just to go make sure it has HIDs nowadays.

Thanks for the input folks. I have one more question. Does 450h has the option to lock unlock doors remotely using smartphone?

It will be very helpful for the new buyers of 450 h if we can post the MSRP and the actual prices paid.

We special ordered a 450h in August with Sport package and every option except heads up, trailer hitch, and Levinson sound. MSRP was $60,198 and we received $6,000 off. Original order was accepted by Lexus and then lost, so had to be ordered again. Finally received in mid January 2015, vehicle was built in Japan.

Original offer was $3500 off MSRP but due to the continuing screw-ups discount eventually was raised to $6K.
