That's what I would do.
Checking with owners of newer Lexus cars, it is pretty easy to get some sort of discount off from MSRP. Generally for the first few months of a new released model they sell at MSRP, but after that it is not uncommon to get $1000-$1500 above invoice for a Lexus. At the very least a $1000-$2000 off MSRP. Lexus dealers are willing to negotiate since their profit margin between invoice and MSRP is usually around $6-$7K.
