Ohio Lexus Car Dealers

Looking to purchase my very first new car and really wanted to get a Lexus RX350. I actually went in yesterday to see one in person so that I could fugure out what options I really wanted. Decided I liked the navigation and premium packages, the MSRP is $47,642. The salesperson was really nice and offered it to me for $44,500. At the time I thought it was a pretty good deal but now after reading what eveyone else wrote I think I was mistaken. What do you all think would be a reasonable price for me to ask for? Are there any tips for me to get the best price. I've never purchased a car before and to be honest I get really nervous when I'm at the dealers. Any suggestions and hints would be appreciated!! Oh and in case it makes a difference I live in Santa Clara, CA.

Yes it includes remote starter, Mine did not come with a cross bars. This is the only thing I regret not asking the dealer to add. Oh well..

What is a good price for 2011 IS 350 RWD with the "C" package? I think the options are: Luxury Plus w/18" wheels, Navigation, Rear spoiler EDIT: oh and also the preferred accessories or something like that Thanks!

Oh, and he said he didn't know what the money factor was.
