rfcbuf Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 Just purchased 04 RX330 in December in upstate NY for $38,600 w/awd, 18" wheels. No navigation but just about everything else you could need in a great car.
SW03ES Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 Problem is the price is really dependent on the area you're shopping in. Especially in the winter with an AWD vehicle... Check out www.edmunds.com they have a true market value feature, take 1-2k off of that and you'll have what they sell for HERE, but we have 6 dealerships within 20 miles so they really compete for customers. Great for the Lexus customer. Where are you located?

SDGuy Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 Jerry - Your car sounds nice. Can you post a pic or link? I haven't seen the Waag or tube steps on an RX330. BTW, is the cellport phone a Lexus option? How does it work? Thanks, SDGuy

SDGuy Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 Thanks for posting the pics and the cellport link. Jerry, your car is very sharp indeed. Now I want a pic of your IC756Pro mounted in your dash! What kind of antenna is that on your back lid? 73, SDGuy
jerryray Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 OK, dash picture here, Icom 2720 and Icom 707MkII http://www.icomrepair.com/picts/rx330dash.JPG No Holes... The mounts are thin material that slips between the molding, works well leaves NO damage. As they said, "you will never know we were here"
SDGuy Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 Jerry, very cool. Is that is a full wood kit you have there? Sorry to others for being so far off topic. I've got a IC746 and Cushcraft R8 at the house, but nothing in the car. You must know your stuff if you can work on the current Icoms - quite an exercise in miniaturization. The last radios I could repair were Heathkits :) SDGuy.
SW03ES Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 Not too into the wood kit, but thats an impressive amout of technology there!
jerryray Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 Yes full woodkit plus some extra's the dealer does not install. The kit is from Sherwood. My only real complaint is the gas mileage, moving 4,000 lbs around with a 6 costs gas. On the raod it'a accetable, around town, drivomg like granny it hurts... But that's the price to pay for a SUV. I really enjoyed my 02 ES300 though

SDGuy Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 Sounds like up to 10% off MSRP is actually possible then. Can anyone PM me with a S. Calif dealer/salesperson to contact? Thanks! SDGuy
300gone330 Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 JUST ordered my 330 today. My 2000 RX 300 was totaled by an 80+ year old granny who ran a red at 60mph. It did what it was supposed to do (fold), but boy do I miss it, it really was super smooth. Anyway, as I wipe a tear, ordered a Neptune Blue Mica, with Ivory leather, "C" package LESS the Mark Levinson sound system that is (has Navigation, wood trim, etc)....dont panic, doing Tweeter for sound and entertainment system v. Lexus. Hey, has anyone here used Tweeter? Fellow shoppers, did we all duly notice that these puppies cannot be found anywhere to buy right off the lot? What the heck is up with that ? And, I noticed that they were only being made in Canada as well (I SURE hope and pray this is as sound as my old 2000 RX300 which hailed from assembly in Japan.) :( Got a price of $41,491, which hopefully isnt too bad (my own credit union couldn't beat the price I got on my own, but did beat the Lexus financing, so not a total loss.) Went to three states to price out, and apparently, this is the best I could do in the NJ/PA/DE areas. All you 330'ers, please let me know how you like your utes. Regards!
MugenRD1 Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 I just bought a 04 RX330 last Saturday. 04 RX330 FWD with P-Plus Package/Navigation w/backup camera/18" wheels/HID's/wood package/sunroof. Got it for $37400+tax and license.
300gone330 Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 Why are northeasters being screwed by Lexus dealers in v. Cali prices? Arent emission standards more restrictive there/thus more equipment to control same? Frankly its f'ed up that we all pay 4-6k more for the same car as our west coast counter parts. Any one? 300gone330
SW03ES Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 California cars are always less. I think it has to do with the amount of competition in California vs in the Northeast. Unfortunately thats how pricing works, supply and demand.

300gone330 Posted January 17, 2004 Posted January 17, 2004 Sure wish that they had offered the lovely garnet color of Steve's car on the RX 330...was admiring it in the showroom (guess they wont offer it til 2006 or so, in an attempt to get us to trade in/upgrade.) 300gone330
SW03ES Posted January 17, 2004 Posted January 17, 2004 For some reason the Black Garnet ONLY comes on the ES, I dont know why. The LS and GS have a color called "Black Cherry" which isn't as attractive (its too purple). I don't get it, its a beautiful color and I get LOTS of compliments on it... Have you seen the Black Forest Pearl on the RX? That would be my choice.
300gone330 Posted January 17, 2004 Posted January 17, 2004 Navigation with back up camera, premium plus package, Wood trim (incl steering wheel and shift knob), power rear hatch, roof rack/rails, 18 inch wheels, AWD, HID head lamps, leather, in Neptune Blue Mica/Ivory interior. Believe thats it. :D
coleRX Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 Bought my FWD Silver/Gray RX330 back in early November. Sticker was $46,198 with the following: Mark Levinson Stereo/Navigation Package/Rear Camera DVD Rear Seat Entertainment system Heated Seats/Rain Sensing Wipers 18" Wheels HID Headlamps Wood Steering Wheel/Shift Knob Wheel Locks/Cargo Mat Moonroof Black Pearl Emblems (way overpriced, not one of my personal choices in options but they do look good and got them at dealer cost) Final price was $42,740. Probably could have negotiated a better deal if I waited until December but needed the car. I'm in SOCAL so could have gone either AWD or FWD, not that big a deal and dealer had FWD in stock. Also in Cali, paid about $3000 in sales tax and $900 in license/registration. So add about $4000 for my out the door price. I think that's where CA residents payback----tax and registration fees!
