Any recommendations for a luxury midsize suv/crossover that has awd and under 400/month. I’m not too picky but want to avoid kia and hyundai.
I guess it will be easy to avoid in this price range. Hard to get midsize Korean e.g. palaside or telluride in 4xx.
I was quoted at +700 for a blazer 2lt with awd so I’m a bit lost. This is with employee discount + loyalty lol.
Sounds pretty picky to me, and a blazer for 700 is very high.
Your options in the category are Lincoln, MB, BMW, Audi, Volvo, and Cadillac. I’ll tell you right now you’re very unlikely to find a gas one in this price range.
None of these mentioned are really luxury vehicles. Maybe a MB GLB?

My impression was that HersheySweet was simply listing the luxury brands (not sure what happened to Lexus) and then stating that midsized SUVs from these brands aren’t going to be < $400/mo.

It’s obviously a terrible price, but if you’re just asking for quotes that’s pretty much all you’re going to get, regardless of vehicle or brand.

Probably Q4 in one pay or eq loaner…
Oh boy, I need to do some hw on how to approach them.
This is a decent place to start reading.

Move to a strategy of making offers.
Plug the following into the LH calculator after MSRP of the vehicle you’re looking at:
Selling price based on % pre-incentive discount found by searching Shared Deals and Marketplace sections of this forum.
RV, MF and incentives (lease cash) from Rate Findr. Add any extra rebates you qualify for (college grad, etc) under incentives.
DMV fees and taxes based on your state’s official website.
Voila! Now check the box to make it $0 DAS and offer the resulting monthly payment*
- preferably rounded to a multiple of $5 or $10 to make yourself seem more like a normal person
When making offers, there are two options and two options only. You either offer a specific monthly payment/das amount or you offer an entirely broken down deal. One extreme or the other, nothing in between as it leaves ambiguity.
I want stock number xxx. I’m willing to offer $xxx/mo with $0 due at signing on a 24/7500 contingent on tier 1 credit approval. I qualify for x, y, and z incentives and live in zip code yyyyy with 7.5% tax rate. If you can meet these numbers, I can be to the dealership within an hour to take delivery.
In either case, you need to know how to structure and calculate your target deal to get those numbers.
Your offer is “I will do this price. If you can do it, I will be there immediately to take delivery”. Your only value to the dealer is to be a fast, super easy, no hassle deal.
MOST DEALERS WILL SAY NO TO YOUR OFFER
That is ok and to be expected.

Correct. Closest one can get, at least near NYC and other places with same incentives, is a QX60.
Link says ‘Page Not Found’.
Learn how to use the below to put together an informed target payment/DAS that you can ask dealer to meet.
I think I forgot how to use templates. 
I pasted the text above.
That’s what I was thinking, too, but it looks like even that won’t fall w/i OP’s budget (even if it’s prob the cheapest option now).
If the GLB isn’t too small, there are an over abundance of loaners out there. I just did 390/390 DAS on a 54k MSRP 36/10 and 430/430 DAS on a 57k MSRP.
Dealer has none remaining, but you can throw a rock and find one. Some brokers here are also putting up some deeply discounted loaners. At your experience level, might be best to go with a broker and keep learning for next time.
