TORRANCE, California — Lexus announced that it will raise prices on several of its 2009 models, including the 2009 GX 470 , LX 570 and SC 430. It will also increase the price of its 2008 Lexus RX 400h hybrid.
This appears to be the last year for the Lexus SC coupe/convertible. In mid-July, Inside Line reported that Toyota canceled the next-generation Lexus SC coupe/convertible. The 2009 SC 430 starts at $67,630, including an $825 destination charge — a $450 increase over the outgoing model. The SC 430 gets new side mirrors with incorporated turn signals for the '09 model year.
The 2009 Lexus LX 570 starts at $76,530, including shipping, a price increase of $1,005. Changes for '09 include a new Costa Azul Mica exterior color choice.
The carryover 2009 Lexus GX 470 starts at $48,440, including shipping, reflecting a $300 price increase.
Lexus said its 2008 RX 400h hybrid get a price increase of $500. The front-wheel-drive version starts at $42,905, including shipping, while the all-wheel-drive version starts at $44,505. Lexus said pricing on its 2009 RX 350 remains unchanged. The front-wheel-drive version starts at $38,525, including shipping, while the all-wheel-drive version starts at $39,925.
What this means to you: Don't look for price breaks from Lexus, even as the competition is struggling to unload its big SUVs. — Anita Lienert, Correspondent
