I am looking for the rx450h but i guess this could pertain to the 350 as well. i want a white/black combo and the dealer did a nationwide search and nobody has that combo in stock. i thought it was a new color combo for 2011 that wasn't available for 2010. he says that combo can be special ordered but it is not typically a high demand combo and made regularly by the factory. can anybody verify?

which dealership did you go to? you should just email all the dealerships in the area and ask if they have what you want in their inventory. if they don't have it, then just order it.

yeah but special ordering usually means the price will be higher than taking one in the lot right?

tkman00

not necessarily.

i know that if they try hard to sell you a vehicle on the lot they will lower the price until you decide to buy it to sell and refill. but if its on a car they dont even have, why would they bother cutting you a really good deal?

tkman00

i dunno, but i know of at least one member on here that's gotten a discount on a special order.

ziggy, doesn't hurt to ask. My special order was around the same price as the pre-packaged RXs in my area with fewer options. Add what I have in and it's way over. And if you really want that color combo (very nice BTW), it might be the only way to go.

A friend who happens to be on this forum is waiting for a special order '11 GX and paid $1500 over invoice which isn't bad to me.

It is rare for that color combo but, I did see someone in this forum get it. Once they get further along in production the different combos will appear. They go for the most popular first. If you are patient they will make a few of them, then the problem is, will it have the features you want.

Good Luck.

So that means, along the way, we will see more and more combos? BTW, why is this color combo so rare besides the fact that i just heard it from a dealer and he claims nobody in this country has one. cant always trust everything they say...

I have an 450H on special order right now. This dealer knew that if they did not come up with a very good price I would go somewhere else to order the car. MSRP 62,74949 got it for 55,286 + tt and 399 retail Delivery fee . So yes you can get a good deal if you special order one but you must let them know that you we go anywhere for a good price.

WOW!! MSRP 62K. What did you get with it? Gold plating?

Had to get the Luxury package for the Wide-view Side monitor the comfort package for the rain-sensing wipers, Heads Up Display, ML because I can here it, LED headlights because that is the only way I could order it, Parking assist, tow package, remote start, protection film, RSES, p21 package

it's looks like they threw on a few dealer add ons there.
