What do you think I should pay on this? I currently have a 2003 Lexus RX300. It currently has 160k miles and it is in fair shape(driven by a woman). It was fully loaded at the time. What should I expect for trade in value? Thanks for all the help!

I don't think you missed an option offered for the RX. This is truly a "Loaded" set of wheels.

As you know, there is no magic number a dealer will accept for your trade in or against the MSRP of the new one. These values also differ by region and zip cod, also by how hungry the dealer is that particular month to fill his used car lot and to sell an RX out of inventory versus ordering one.

My experiance in trying to get a starting point from wich to evaluate bargining points, has been to use either Kelleys Blue Book or Edmunds car values. Both are on line. You input your data for the new car and you will get the dealers invoice, MSRP, and fair market value. The same process is used for your trade-in. I reccomend you use both services and compare the information for an average to bargain with. Also, their are online auctions for new and used car from which you can get an idea of what 2013 RX's are going for at wholesale prices.
