Default AWD Purchase

Looking at which ever one I can get my hands on first set up the way I want it. Hybrid/F-Sport or regular AWD but I just wanted to ask a fair price below MSRP. I was initially going to ask 3-4K since thats what True Value listed but I'm seeing more of around 8% on this website.

Is this a fair asking price? Below MSRP. 2013 RX AWD.

Honestly, id say start about 12% and make your way down. You really dont want to be saying 8% at first when the dealer would possibly stretch to 10% because he'll be laughing after youve done the deal.

Start low and increase. I got 9% on the release date last year!

Check this thread for what members have paid for their '13 RX350. I believe there are a few posts on prices for the F-Sport and 450h as well. Getting below MSRP is the norm, how much depends on a few things including model. You'll probably get the best deal on the RX350. First thing you should do is figure out which RX you want including options, then e-mail a few dealers with how much you're looking to pay. And shop closer to the end of the month. Good luck.

When I bought my '12 RX-350 in May(last day of the month) last year it was easy to get 10% off MSRP, I actually got 12% off. I have seen 10% deals listed in other Forums right now on the '13's.

Def good advice Anita about shopping the end of the month.

Good Luck.

The '13's were released Mid May 2012; I got a good discount on my '13 even on May 31st.......and so many at a big dealer that they had my exact model in stock already; only a couple of small things I would have deleted...Good Luck

Warning ... deals can vary by location. Some states and regions are better than others. I live in CA and the deals are good ... you live in TN and this may not be the case. Also, deals vary with time of year and what Lexus may be passing along to dealers. Your best approach is to try and find out what the situation is your local market. Read the thread referenced above and you will get an idea of what the situation is on pricing.

I would sugest posting the same question in the thread referenced above. I'm sure there has been someone from TN who has gotten a deal and posted it on there. Good luck on your purchase.

According to Google and this forum you can't install a tow hitch without first removing some sort of performance damper so the F-Sport is off the table.
