I have been to 4 Lexus Dealers now, including one that discounted my last 2 RX, and none are offering dicounts. They all say sales are buoyant and that there is no need, and Lexus are not supporting discounts. I had my RX400SEL valued, and I have to say that I walked out in disgust. They quoted Glasses Guide to me, and at £17,000 is £3,000 less than I got for my RX 300 3 years ago. If you look at the residual value that represents about 37%, not much higher than a Mondeo. What happened to the famed 60% (I got that last time). I read somewhere that manufacturers were offering low PX against new models and storing them with a view to creating a shortage of used cars, thus pushing up the price and getting a benefit from that - wonder if Lexus are doing that?
I don't think Lexus will reduce the price of the cars - they may bring in a Special Edition, but I think will be priced beween SEL and the SEL Super.
