I've heard this from a few dealerships already. When these dealerships confirmed they could allocate one for me, it was either a huge markup on MSRP or a bunch of dealer add-ons that were non-negotiable. I told them GTFOH.

Most, if not all, dealerships are looking for the highest bidder at this point. Some have even said, "Well, it's not going to sell for MSRP. So give us your highest and best offer," then we can submit it to the sales manager for approval.

Overall, there might be a few dealerships out there that will sell them at MSRP, but I highly doubt it.

 

I suspect you are correct. I have not purchased the items ahead of times as I normally would have when I've ordered a vehicle...phone mount etc, because I have the feeling that I'm going to get the weenie. If I do, so be it. I will never purchase another item from that dealership nor will that ever see my 4R again for service. I'm sure they don't care but I can assure them that nor do I.

 

My salesman called and said my car is on the train. Should be here in just a few days. Supposed to be MSRP.

 

Good luck!

Are you still trading in your RX350? If so, I suspect this is where they'll get you. There is an abundance of RX350s out there with finance and lease incentives currently. Dealers are slashing prices on new 2025 RX350s still on the lots. There are not too many 350h currently. So if yours is a hybrid, it may work in your favor.

 

Excellent! Pics soon I hope!!

 

Mine has arrived...

 

Going to trade my 23 IS 350. Congrats Wthrman2! Good looking pics!

 

My bad, I thought for some reason you mentioned trading an RX350. Best of luck!

 

I haven't pulled the trigger yet, I need ro go.see it in person first. These are pics the dealer sent me

 

Are you going to purchase it? I know that you wanted to see it in person to make the decision. Or did I miss where you made the decision to go forward?

Edit: I see where we were posting at the same time...

 

Really nice, in my eyes, at least. I like the paint and trim contrast and that of the two tone seats. The steering wheel...not so much

 

@wthrman2 Those are awesome photos! You should definitely get it! Mine has arrived too, but is not due for delivery until mid November. And in case you don’t like the wheels, I’ll buy them from you. 😆

 

@wthrman2 nice exterior color. It looks like a light icey gray. Idk why in some photos online it appears like incognito

 

^^ it is indeed much lighter than incognito. I haven't seen in the flesh but I know I will like the exterior color.

I really like the new 2026 interior design so debating if it's worth spending the extra cash to get this one, keep the one I have or get the 2026. I may keep the one I have and either buy the UE also or the 2026...so I would 2 IS but we'll see

 

I guess it depends on whether you want the V8. The V6 is a solid engine, but if I'm getting an IS it's with the V8. The interior is much less important to me than the power plant.
