I can't see why you have to pay almost $6,000 up front. That's very high. Its almost 12% extra.

Park Place Lexus in Plano, TX quoted me $56,489 drive out price for 2018 RX450H F Sport. It appears they will not go any lower. I'm about to bite. What do you all think of this offer? Thanks.

you need to provide more info if you want people to help you. What’s the MSRP? What’s the sale price before Lexus cash taxes and fees?

Default Looking to buy ‘18 RX350 F-Sport


Great stuff on sharing prices folks. Current ISF owner here, looking to get an RX350 F-Sport for the lady.

Went to dealer today and received a $54,283 Offer after $1500 rebate for a $58,783 sticker price 2018 RX350 AWD F-Sport. Comes out to about 5.1% off MSRP/sticker before the $1,500 rebate they have going on.

Accordig to a few inputs above 10% to 14% and even 15% off MSRP plus the $1500 rebate are realistic?

My plan was to hold off until August 1 or whenever 2019 models show up and then come back to negotiate? Or better July 31/end of month?

Now, the wife should also be able to qualify for the $750 recent grad discount, spoke to Lexus USA last weekend and they confirmed. I was thinking to throw that at end of negotiation, what you guys think? The fine print on Recent Grad reads the following, “College Graduate Finance Program (which is not a rebate/reward and instead offers competitive APRs and lease terms) is valid on the lease or finance of new, untitled Lexus or L/Certified vehicles. Subject to the foregoing limits and requirements below, the The College Graduate Reward Program and College Graduate Finance Program are available upon credit approval from and execution of a finance or lease contract through a participating Lexus dealer and Lexus Financial Services (LFS). Not all applicants will qualify...

I’m a little confused on the Recent Grad program to be honest, and if dealer agrees to 10-12% off MSRP on top of the $1,500 rebate, maybe I’d be asking for too much at that point. I’d feel bad for beating them up like that. Perhaps someone can shine a light on the Recent Grad discount.

Thsnks in advance.

Default In market for 2018 RX350 F-sport

Hi all, posted under one of the stickies but haven’t gotten much response. I’m a current ISF owner, looking to get an RX350 F-Sport for the lady. Looking for advice on price and how much off MSRP is reasonable to ask.

Went to dealer yesterday and received a $54,283 Offer after $1500 rebate for a $58,783 sticker price 2018 RX350 AWD F-Sport. Comes out to about 5.1% off MSRP/sticker before the $1,500 rebate Lexus has going on currently.

Accordig to a few inputs from the RX best price thread, 10% to 14% and even 15% off MSRP plus the $1500 rebate are realistic? Where do I even start? Go to dealer first, or negotiate via phone?

My plan was to hold off until August 1 or whenever 2019 models show up and then come back to negotiate? Or wait for July or August 31, end of month? When do the 2019 RX350 come out, BTW? Any changes for 2019? Is it a facelift year?

Anecdotal evidence at best, but if you want to replicate deals in IL, be prepared to travel out of state. Dealers love to stay close to sticker, and love throwing in add-ons like paint protection or modded wheel trim etc.

Default Good prices for dealers located in South Florida?

There are many dealers located in South Florida. I have checked a few via True Car, and Costco, and the responded prices are very little under MSRP. Nothing anywhere the prices communicated in this tread. Anyone out there have better success with a dealer in South Florida?

I just received a call back from my local dealer and they are offering $55,040 (6.3% off MSRP) before $1500 rebate on a $58,700 F-Sport RX350. Bottom line at $53,540. The offer from yesterday was lower. Tempting

don't feel bad for the dealer. They will never get into a deal that doesn’t work in some way for them. If the new grad cash comes from Lexus then the dealer should be indifferent even if they are already losing money on the deal.

SFL member here but I am waiting until the 2019 debuts before deciding. If I can't get a good deal in the tri-county area, I am willing to buy elsewhere, even out of state if necessary. Have you tried Tampa?
A few months ago I emailed them and they were willing to deal via emails. Miami dealers don't seem to want to do that. They refused to give quotes via email and instead email back, insisting you call.

5 years ago the lowest price I could get via email was a dealer in Clearwater, FL. I took that email to JM Lexus, which previously had quoted me a higher price, and they matched it.

I'd bite if it was around 12-13% discount off MSRP like a lot of people here are getting. I asked for 15% and I'm hoping he'll meet me half way. Not too worried about color and options at this point. I still see a lot of them available within a 500 mile radius. What did you end up getting?
