Good idea. I'll do just that!
Many thanks,

I just bought a 2008 RX400h in Nov 2007 from Lexus in Syracuse (Burdick). Black, tan interior, nav $45,900 where msrp was $49,600 or $49,900.
Definitely shop around...I special ordered my '08 RX400h and after getting online quotes from about 12 different dealers within a 100 mile radius, I was able to get mine for $47000; my sticker is $51600 with my extra options. I told each dealer what my lowest quoted price was, and asked if they could do better for me. Some did, some couldn't or wouldn't.
Try some dealers in CT or MA too, if it's not too far for you to go. I never ended up traveling to my dealer, and never even met my salesman (it's overrated anyway! ;) ). My built-just-for-me RX400h arrived in NJ by ship from Japan on Monday, and my dealership is delivering it to my home either this Friday or next Monday! You may be able to do better with current inventory vehicles too.
Good Luck!!
