JRB, thanks for the info. How much did you get your RX330 for 'out the door'? SO I have an idea.

I'm basically looking for a AWD Millenium Silver/Black Leather with Performance package and Navigation. No other options required or needed. So there is such a car in the midwest and east coast, but like you said, it is very rare in CA. I have called all the local dealerships around me and none carries what I want. They either have just NAV or just Performance.

HI...

What do you think is a price I should shoot for wth an AWD/Performance/NAV RX330?

Carsdirect.com quoted me $45,516 is that ok? Or I can get it lower at dealerships?

At the dealer's request, which we agreed to, I can't give you the exact price we paid. But from what I can tell we did get a very reasonable discount from MSRP. From other messages posted on this board, discounts vary as much by region/dealership as do the option packages, and it appears easier to get a better deal on Premium Plus packages than cars equipped with Navigation, or Performance Pkg + Navigation configurations. This could change once production begins to catch up with demand, because Lexus obviously makes more money on it's cars equipped with more options. On ours in addition to the Performance/Nav we also got Heated Seats and the Towing Pkg, and at the end the dealer threw in a Cargo Mat at no charge.

We just bought our 330 today (AWD, White/gray, perf pkg, heated seats) and I was able to get it for $3100 off MSRP using the "Fax Attack" from Fighting Chance. I even received a later offer of $3500 off. Just make sure you talk to several dealerships and you'll probably get better results than a carsdirect price.
