Got an rx350 premium one dealer wouldn’t even come close to the discount I got from another but 10k off and didn’t even have to go back and forth with them saveed me a lot of time
Not only downsizing the engine but also downsizing the entire vehicle’s dimensions while taking the cheapened materials route was the perfect recipe for falling off of a sales cliff. The formula wasn’t broken, yet Lexus decided to fix it.
This lease incentive difference is crazy. $4000 vs. zero. Both have almost identical MSRP. The Gas only model is a turbo. Runs only on premium fuel. It’s required. The hybrid runs just fine on regular ( it’s the same engine as the Camry and the other Hybrid Toyotas). The gas turbo will get low 20’ s mpg. The hybrid mid to upper 30’s. The lease monthly payment is about $100 less per month of the gas only model. That buys a lot of gas. Have to agree with Ari here definitely. The deal to pull off is to buy the hybrid. Finance rates not great at Toyota/Lexus. Hopefully the loan rates with drop with December to Remember deals that start around Black Friday. Mazda doing zero percent on CX-70/90’s. That used 450h is highly sought after due to the fact that it had the 6 cylinder not the 4. Previous generation. Problem is that they are supposedly easy to steal 🙈. I think the $4k incentive expires October 1st. Only reason I’m looking is that my perfect 2019 NX goes in for the 60k mile service on the 2nd. Expensive service, but I think I’ll keep it until the wheels fall off. Thanks Ari, I’ll bring you along to negotiate for me. 👍
We traded our perfect 2018 NX300 with 58k miles for the RX350h.. we needed the extra room .. loved the smooth ride and tech on the new RX. Having regrets about trading the NX .. it’s a great nimble car the NX and never disappoint drives from LA to Vegas.
New subscriber here! Just leased 2024 RX 350h premium.. Couple days ago.. 60,250 MSRP, agreed price $54,170. 5k down drive off .. $360mo tax included, 36 months, 10k miles. .. I don’t get why residual is at $37,300… lease added the rent/lease fee of $8,425… we love the car but the residual is high to think about purchase end of lease.. is this a good deal? Great video!
Yes, California … it’s a stupid deal… I converted it to a purchase… basically got $7k off MSRP and financed with 4.5% … it was $58k out the door with tax and registration.. 9.5% tax Rx350 hybrid premium black on black
You get a lot of car for the money with lexus rx. I want a gle but with the options I want, it’s over 70k. For the rx I want, it’s around 60k. I’m not paying 10k extra for the Mercedes paint and nicer interior.
@@TheIcecoldorange mercedes Doesn’t have that great reliability. Consumer reports rates bmw’s and lexus’s. The first top 13 cars are 7 BMW and 6 Lexus and no 14 is the RDX.
@@stea2494 have you owned one? I have been driving a 2014 Mercedes suv for 8 years now. Absolutely nothing costly so far other than a yearly maintenance that runs about $300. The only things I replaced were tires and headlight bulbs and I’ve put over 100k miles on it.

Congrats you just downgraded yourself to a money pit car full of gizomos like a chinese knockoff car. Its full of gizmis but would barely survive waranty without issues😂
@@badongtagalog5737 well its rated no1 on consumer reports, X5 btw. It’s my first BMW and so far absolutely enjoy the ride, comfort, luxury, tech, power and insane torque. If it turns unreliable then i’ll be able to say that i drove a phenomenal vehicle. I looked seriously at the new RX and was disappointed at the engine, the steering touch pad, lack of drive mode selector, ridiculous digital/analog console and basic toyota like technology, yeah probably reliable but boring on every level AF.
everything is phenomenal until you experienced camping the night because it breaks in the middle of nowhere or maybe you need a simple battery replacement but you need computer and specialized software to replace it and it costs a lot. After that time youll be thinking twice which one you prioritized. I would choose a "boring" and relaxing drive with lexus than an adventurous experience non relaxing experience with bmw everytime.

I know why it sells. Because the shoppers of an RX don’t know anything.😆 The RX doesn’t deserve to be the best seller. The gv80 or x5 deserve that title because they actually know how to compete and properly execute. Lexus just doesn’t know how to compete.

people want the hybrid and are not wanting the turbo!
BS

How did they downsize the RX's dimensions?
The RX has always outsold the Germans. Huh
My local Lexus dealer has been 30+ RX Hybrids for a few months now...
where do you live? Every Hybrid in the Dallas-Ft Worth area is selling before it hits the dealer!
I’m waiting for end of November rx or Acura Rdx
My local dealers in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area will not put in factory orders for RXs. They get what they get they tell me!
My lexus dealer let me customize my RX350h; only stipulation is finding the exterior/interior color combo they are getting.

do you provide negotiation services? something like you negotiate with a dealer on behalf of a customer and get a % off the price you negotiated down?
It’s called broker service
BMW…in-line turbo 6… Lexus turbo 4… I had an X5 rental and it was fun to drive.

How can you quote a monthly lease price without mentioning its length and the amount you are putting down?
Are the payments you shared with a 0 downpayment?

Price wise the Lexus RX is far cheaper than the GLE or the X5. You should be comparing sales of the RX to the X3 or the GLA.
Would that matter? Rx trumps either model
I agree but it’s the GLC actually.
