Thanks for the info.
A dealer in my area offered $41,000 for 2014 RX 350 FWD (MSRP $45,774). With the $2K rebate, it will bring down to $39,000 with 2.9% interest. December 2 remember is extended until 1/6/2014. Does it seem like a fair deal?
i plan on countering with $39K w/o the rebate so the net would be $37,000. Does this sound realistic?

So i don't think they will accept your offer. But you can always try.
I didnt see BSM ( blind spot monitoring) in your options. It's a nice, but more importantly a SAFETY feature that i would love to have on all our cars.
I'd rather have BSM than cross bars and cargo mats that Are so overpriced.
wow, that was a great deal! Well done!

was easy to find a no nav car in Chicagoland; after all, why waste 2k+ when your smart phone does nav so much better?

The dealer makes money on the financing arm as well.

yup, mats and cross bars are so overpriced, but no choice as it comes with the car that I want w/o the nav.

But you have to admit that the interior with the nav looks much better and it comes with more than navigation. Would I still spend more than $2,000? Haven't thought about it.

And LExus Financial gave me 0.9%.
I still suggest that you get a credit union car loan.
Sometimes, the finance dept won't approve you for Tier 1 plus.
It happened to us. My wife has her FICO credit scores (770,760,775) from the 3 bureaus.
We were surprised to find out that the dealer uses a different calculation ( auto FICO) which is different from the credit card FICO scores that WE are all familiar with.
Long story short, they want yo increase our monthly payment by $50.
This is where i came in and have to co sign to get the 0.9%.
PLAN B was to use the 1.49% pre approved auto loan that we got, however we won't get the financing discount.

1. Don't take $2,000 rebate and take 0.9% financing
2. Take the rebate and get special (this is what freaking dealerships say all the time) 2.9%
Did calculation and I come out ahead with rebate w/ 2.9%, but I'll see if I can get a better rate.

We just bought a 14 Rx350 2wd. MSRP was $49989. We got the car OTD for $48107. That was $6000 off including the $2000 rebate. Got 2.35% interest for five years. Also got an excellent price on our 09 ES trade. This was in the central valley. Modesto, Ca

Got it this weekend for $37.5 with the $2K rebate and three year maintenance for free. more than $8,000 discount from MSRP.
Had no choice but to finance with 2.9%apr to take the rebate. minimum $10K finance was required, but you can pay it off after 4 months. I would only be paying $100 in interest.

Because legislation for using a cell phone while driving is making it illegal to use navigation on your phone (at least holding the phone and using it). In-car navigation isn't subject to such laws.
