Did I get a good deal?

Just picked up a 2010 RX 350 FWD
Smoky Granite Mica / Black
Msrp of $47,693

Bought it for $40647
$43548 OTD (including TAX, TITLE, LIC.)

Was this a good deal?

I think so, just wondering though...

Back in June I picked up a 2010 Mercedes Benz E63 AMG with a
MSRP of $102,425 for $89,000 + TTL

I thought that was a great deal, considering they brought the vehicle in from 2 states over.

You beat my deal by about $200 and I thought I got a super deal. I know they could have gone lower but I was happy and got the RX that I wanted exactly.

You got a good deal OTD price is hard to compare with other people in Mobile County if I get a car from out of state the tax rate is 3% but if I get one in the city of Mobile it is 4.5%. Now the people in New Orleans have to pay 9.5% and do not know what the rate is in Florida. What you pay before all the junk is the only way to do it. I you think you got a good deal then you got a good deal enjoy your new RX.

I did, just checking in to see what others got, want to make sure my research is working. Maybe help someone else at the same time...after doing some research i ended up getting my E63 with a MSRP of 102,425 for 89,000

I bought it right before the 2011's were coming out. Mercedes was also offering trunk money for dealers selling 2 E63's in a month. Did a bunch of shopping around (4 dealers within 3 hours from where I live). Got the best price from each and played them against each other. Did lots of research on edmunds.com, etc. and checked on the forums for what others paid.
