That's what I'd like to start with. I'm not sure if that's too low and they'd scoff at my offer. I get they won't go with it right off the bat. But I was wonder if asking for that is too ambitious.

Not at all. Iam0279 on page 9 of this thread got 13.12% off the MSRP.!!!!

I did see that! Just needed you guys for a little moral support Thank you though!

This person got 15.1% off MSRP

The thing to remember is that the RX450h is only 10-12% of RX sales, so the availability is less and in my experience, the discount is less. I was shopping on the last day of Dec to Remember, at the year-end sale and dealers weren't budging on the hybrid price. I certainly asked for 11-12%, but didn't find anyone going near there on a hybrid. I think the word the sales reps were using was "crazy" but that's just puffery, too. So I think it unlikely to get those 13-15% discounts regularly. Anecdotally, it seems more hybrid owners pay slightly above invoice and more non-hybrid owners pay slightly less than invoice. Now, I wasn't shopping for a 350 at the same time, so it's a little hard to compare. On the plus side, the F-sport has a lot of cool expensive features, so you may find more wiggle room, there are some great F-sport deals listed here.

Thank you for your insight. Would these be good numbers to work off of:

You're welcome. Two of the most common model around here are:

MSRP: 56,109
Dealer: 53,609
with 20:" wheels, accessory package and touch free rear door.
and
MSRP: 56,717
Dealer: 54,018
with 20" wheels, accessory package, touch free rear door, cross bars, all weather floor liners and cargo tray

The website numbers from Consumer Reports are pretty close. I tried to build the second one and got MSRP of 56,552 and Invoice of 54,107.

I paid 6.1% under MSRP, for a hard-to-find fully optioned 2016 RX450h F Sport in the exact colors I wanted back in April. This is under invoice. The deals exist if you make them exist. There were only 4 or so queued up for production or on the lots in my exact specification.

I did it guys... took about eight hours (started at lunch finished at closing), but I got a RX450H F-Sport. Fully loaded and even has HUD (something I had an incredibly hard time finding).

MSRP: $63259
Dealer: $58500 (~7.5%)

Thank you all sincerely for the help and guidance!

Good job, that's a great deal. Congrats on the new car and post some pics when you have a chance.

If willing to travel to Atlanta, that's the hot market. Contact Justin Balcer at Nalley Lexus (jbalcer@nalleycars.com). I just got home from my day of flying out to ATL and driving back home with my wife's new RX350. 14% off MSRP. I was about to start taking Justin's quoted price (extremely good) to Lexus of Arlington in IL since they claim they'll beat any quoted sale price by $250, combine with lower dealer fees, would be even more savings. However the wife was getting mad I was still trying to haggle, and just wanted me to close, ha!

Offered 3.7% off msrp off $54K for a rx350 awd with navigation, premium, blis, etc.
But this is very casual talk with the local dealer with no further shopping around.
Think I can do better...

Hi Everyone. Finally leaving BMW. Could I have your input on this offer?
2017 Rx 350 AWD
MSRP: $57,359
Dealer asking: $52,500
Out the door $58,620
That's only about 6.3% off MSRP. Should i try to push it down?
I'm the the Bay Area (CA)
Thank you for any input.

Negotiated a deal for my brother with December to Remember:

MSRP: $60,479
Sales Price: $52,575
36/15k lease with zero out of pocket came to $650/month

Are you financing or paying cash.. Why not buy from Justin at Nally Lexus. He will be very agressive and ship the car to you for $800 shipping charges. When I was looking he was $4000 better,
