I'm new to the boards here, and have found so much helpful information!

I too am on the waiting list for the 330. I was wondering if anyone here was going to try to negotiate a deal on the car, or if it's just MSRP all the way. I got on the waiting list in January, I was able to get a $500 discount off MSRP, which is practically nothing, but it's something! Just wondering if any of you were able to negotiate anything better, or if you were going to try to negotiate at all! Any help would be great!

You did better than me -- MSRP is what I've been told.

If you live in northern california, I am pretty sure you can get $1000 off MSRP, they have cars in the lot ready to go.

i paid MSRP for a fully loaded (Nav/Lev/RSES) RX330 AWD. i got about $500 above kelly blue book for a trade-in though. and i got chrome wheels at dealer fleet prices.

i've seen some discounts in southern california for FWD models w/ prem pkg only - up to $2,000 off MSRP. not bad!

but it definitely depends on what option package you are looking for. the Nav/Lev pkg and the perf/Nav pkg are not as common as others, so you probably won't get a break on those. in the end, it all depends on the supply and demand in your area - pure economics in action!

We have a Performance Pkg with NAV on order, since they do not come bundled together here in the Midwest. After placing the order at MSRP I was subsequently able to negotiate a $1,500 discount but only after my wife's boss intervened - he happens to know an owner of a dealership and helped us get a better deal.

I have a Perf Pkg with Nav that just arrived at port on thursday and I got $500 off and Blue book value for my trade. Not great but better than nothing since this combo is rare right now.

Online dealer offers 330 for 1k below MSRP, has anyone gotten their dealer to 2k below?

i keep getting email offers from Lexus of Westminster (Orange County) for $2000 off. but this applies only to a select few they have on the lot, and always FWD w/ premium plus package. they say that they have other specials, but i doubt the performance packages (VP) or the Nav/Lev package (VN) is discounted. just too limited at this point.

time4lexus - PM me know if you are interested and near orange county. i can forward you the information. i bought my RX330 on mar 25th from a san diego dealer.

westminster also started offering a lease special on the above mentioned RX config, 3 1/2 yrs, 12k miles/yr, $2000 down, and $414 monthly pymt.

It's at the dealer ready for me, but I going on vacation and I'll be damned if I'm leaving a brand new RX 330 at the airport parking lot. Full MSRP with Premium Plus/NAV/18" wheels and wheel locks. Wish I hadn't planned the vacation!

Just negotiated a deal for a AWD Breakwater Blue with Nav for $1800 off MSRP. No other dealer would do any less than MSRP but this dealer was hungry (must be end of month - need to hit my numbers deal). Expecting delivery in 2 weeks.

Key thing is that he clearly saw that I was a buyer, but that time was on my side so wanted to close the deal. Helped to know alot about the car and deals that were being found elsewhere.

Got mine from Crown Lexus in Ontario, CA. I have yet to see a better deal than mine on the forums. My salesperson, Chad, made an agreement with me not to disclose my deal. If your looking to buy and do not want the snooty attitudes like from the other dealers, this is the place to shop.
