It is now time for the new Lexus RX330....
I can not hold off any longer. The new RX330 looks great and I want one!
I am located in central NJ, so help me my CL friends with the following (I apologize in advance if any of these inquiries are repeated from other threads):
1. Are Dealers Discounting off MSRP at this time? Usually by how much?
2. What is the current wait time for an RX330? (4WD) - Black Exterior / Ivory Interior
3. Can we now get the NAVIGATION / ML AUDIO Package in addition / along with the Performance Package Option? I want both. Apparently on Kelly Blue Book.com you can pick both options, but the Lexus Website, still says you can't get it with ML AUDIO.
OR do I sacrifice the Performance Package and go for the NAV/ML AUDIO package (still with the 18s). Do I really need the Performance Package?
4. Are the Adaptive Headlights standard equipment, I don't see mention of it in the packages?
Your help is most appreciated. Let the shopping begin!
Thanks again for all your help.

Your best bet
Is to go to www.lexus.com and get a list of all the dealers in NJ. Either fax them or call them with the config you want. You'll find out soon enough if they are dealing up there. If I were you I'd check NY and PA, too.
It is one sweet automobile and I haven't had "car fever" since I bought a Honda Prelude in 1980!

Not really tired of the GS430 yet, but time for a change, since family priorities are on the way and the RX330 would be a great vehicle for a new addition. Also the new RX330 looks sweet in person with those 18s. Of course it's totally different than a GS430, but maybe it's also my attention span, I always love new cars and can only keep cars for 3 years at a time.

Thanks! I hear you on the appeal of this new RX330. There is something so sweet looking about this vehicel on those 18" rims that makes me want one now. I will just have to figure out how. Thanks again for the advice.

UPDATE - I visited my local Lexus Dealer today and have decided so far on the following:
1. No need for the Performance Package - Considered Special Order
2. Now thinking I may not need the Mark Levinson Audio, since that is considered a speical order and can take 90-120 days for delivery.
3. Definitely need the NAV - 6 week delivery time.
4. 18" Rims are so fine, I don't think they even offer them in the standard 17" size off the lot.
I actually drove the RX330 today and I like it. It's got some power to it and handles well. I want one.
UPDATE - Now thinking I need the ML audio once again. Can't decide working on it!
