05/06/11 After gathering quotes from over 27 Lexus dealerships, the best price I got for a new 2011 RX 350 AWD with prem/com/nav, 19" wheels, tow prep and accessory package was $43,158 ($49,804 MSRP) without tax and license. I was told that the prices have jumped ever since the tsunami devastated Japan's suppliers. If you have been purchased the RX350 AWD w/prem/nav/com, please let me know what you paid for it and specifiy whether or not tax & license was included. Thank you so much!

I got mine at Watertown MA. AWD NAV/COMP/PREM 18" wheels, Remote start, tow package. MSRP was $48,750. My trade in was worth $3,500 per KBB. They gave the final price including trade in exactly 37K. Not including tax, title. I bought it Mid March.

Take a look at Truecar <http://www.truecar.com>. Pick the model and options and then look at the Price Trend tab.

It does seem to show an upward trend in prices.

There is no point in Canadian members even answering this question. Even though RX350s are made here in Canada and our dollar is worth $1.04USD we are robbed by Toyota/Lexus by at least $10,000 on every sale. US members should check out the www.lexus.ca website and try building a car on it just to see how bad it is. Since there are only 35 Lexus dealers in the entire country they don't have to compete for our business. Lexus also charges us $1995 for freight/dealer prep even if we buy one just 5km from the plant. You are so lucky in the US!!!!

Your quote seems like a great deal to me. My 2011 RX350 MSRP at $50454.00
with comfort/premium/navi/tow hitch/19" wheels. We paid $46000.00 + tax/lic
Starfire Pearl/Parchment. We bought it in mid Feb.

All prices are location specific, in some dense areas like CA there is a lot of competition and lower prices but in many parts of the country there aren't that many Lexus dealers. In the San Antonio/Austin TX region the population is well over 3 million yet there are only TWO Lexus dealers, this does not make for great pricing. $6,500 off MSRP is a great price as long as there aren't any hidden charges in there.

Larrs, thank you for referring me to truecar.com!

Since Lexus is not taking any special orders at this time, I have to wait and see what comes in from their factories. There are a lot of unnecessary items that I don't want on the vehicle - ie nav and comfort, but I do want the bi-xenon HID headlamps. Can I just change the base lightbulbs out with aftermarket bi-xenon HID headlamps?
