Of course price is a huge factor, but get the car you want.
Always get the car you want because when it breaks, you won't mind fixing it.

Some dealers love giving you terrible deals on 18s to make their terrible 17 prices seem like a bargain. Careful, and shop around for both 17s and 18s with a couple dealers. Once you know what the market looks likes then should you decide on pricing

That's why the 2017's are still on the lot; most people prefer the new model. I am buying a 2018, probably pay about $50K for a $55,700 MSRP. Plus tax, doc, dmv, etc. I imagine any 2017's could be had for a great price if you can find the right car. Personally, I will buy the car I want rather than the absolute lowest price. Just my 2 cents.
Are they giving off 10% easy now?

YMMV, of course.
Really? I don't want to drive a 10 year old vehicle, I just want to get a great price for a new vehicle every 3 years or so.

In my recent case, the dealer asked if I might be interested in a 2017 (rather than 2018) so I'm trying to get a handle on what discount levels others are achieving. Most of the vehicles I'm looking at are in the $61k MSRP range.

12% is the going rate on 18s, easy and you can drive off real easy. A broker buddy of mine been getting them for less, but figures when you have been in the industry since high school.

Sounds about right. I walked out with my 2018 for 57k on a 62k MSRP. 12.4% for me.

I have a few starting offers; 10% off is the best and that is from a "kinda insider" deal. A friend is a mechanic at one of their dealerships. He referred me. 12% would be great. That's all I know for now...

Which dealer? on the west coast? I am on the east coast, check inventory on the dealer's website, can't find one without 20" wheel. I am looking for the 18" wheel.

Any recommendations for dealers in Souther California? I have sent emails to Jim Falk and Thousand Oaks, but not really getting anywhere for a 2018 RX450h. I realize they don't have many in stock at this time and the one I have built out with heated seats, 20" rims, rear brake and blind spot and upgraded navigation screen comes out to about $51,300. I don't need a sunroof, never used it in the past, don't need other options either. Thanks

I reside in Southern California and all our vehicles have heated seats—we use them all the time. All future vehicles must include heated seats and heated steering wheel (my wife loves heated steering wheels). Our RX has both heated seats and steering wheel.

RX350L2018, welcome to CL. We only have one pricing thread for 2018. Just like previous years, it'll include all RX models - 350, 450h, F-Sport, and the L. If you've gotten a price on the 350L, feel free to post it here. And the reason you haven't found that much info yet is because they're just starting to hit the dealers. With time they'll be more.
