Default Picking up my '08 rx350 FEW QUICK ?s

I just got an '08 RX350 for the pops (hey, if he's happy I'm happy ). Well I put a deposit on a silver/black

every single option including ML, RSES, nav, 18 graph wheels. Hope it lasts

But I have 2 questions:

1. Since I bought it about 3 weeks after NAV 7.1 came out, I should haggle the dealer into giving it to me right?

2. you think I can squeeze all season floormats out of the stealership too?

or

Maybe you can get the 7.1 dont know

Dont worry about the Lexus all season just get the Weather Tech mats--I got them for mine back and front. They have the curved edges to hold all crap, but then you live in CA so you wont see snow like me but you do have rain.

The mats are only $65 on ebay, but I would definitely ask the dealer for the update nav.

it never hurts to ask, but what they'll tell you will depend on how good of a deal you got. If I were you, I'd get some free oil changes instead of all-weather mats....5pc mats are on ebay for like 165 shipped....each oil change is $50. Disc - you can try that, but it costs like $300, I doubt the dealer will want to change the deal once you gave him your commitment to the existing deal.

Your wants (7.1 Nav and mats) should have been negotiated when you purchased the RX. Hummm... 6.1 vs 7.1, there really is no difference (I have both). As for all weather mats, I have the floor bed liners from weather tech. Excellent fit and finish. Well worth the $$.

Well we went to pick it up today. The dealer threw in the new navigation 7.1 and the all season floor mats. So far lexus is living up to its hype. Even though I was reluctant to get the RX over the GS.
