2009 Lexus models see price increase

Lexus has announced price increase for four 2009 models including the 2009 SC 430, LX 570, GX 470 and the RX400h hybrid SUV. The 2009 LX 570 large-SUV sees the largest bump in price with an increase of 1.3 percent or $1,005 to $75,705.

The 2009 SC 430 gets a price increase of $450 dollars or 0.7 percent to $66,805. Let’s not forget – Lexus’ parent company Toyota has canceled plans to build a next-generation SC due to sluggish sales.

The mid-size GX 470 SUV remains unchanged for 2009 but will see a price increase of 0.6 percent or $300 to $47,615. The 2008 RX 400h SUV front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive will see an increase of $500 each to $42,080 and $43,480 respectively.
