Default Lexus Loaners. How about a RX 400h for one?

So my mothers RX needed new front brakes, I pm VVTi and he squeezes her in to get it serviced since its a potential accident maintenance. (Thanks again mahn).

So Hennessy Lexus of Gwinnett (best dealership in GA, I've been and used everyone in ATL) has RX 400h loaners for VIP customers. And MY MOTHER gets one. My sister is with her, they call me at work and they are so excited, superlative after superlative.

I thought that was pretty cool they had RX 400h loaners!!

Given how much potential sales you've been bringing in for Lexus, you and your mom certainly deserve a VIP treatment.

I bet your mom will want to upgrade when she gets her RX back. Good strategy, Hennessy Lexus.

How many RX 400h loaners do they have? Wouldn't they rather sell those hotcakes? Although as a loaner it's way cool.

But an ES is my idea of a great loaner car.

I'm bringing my car in on Monday for a power steering check-up. The idea of an RX 400h loaner sounds tempting. Gonna see if Lexus of Greenwich would be willing

They have 2. I think they had a brand new ES 330 last time.

Yes, a 1SICKREVIEW is coming soon.

Well, I just dropped off my GS for Timing belt service and i got a regular RX330 in return. Brand spainking new... 500 miles on it when i got it. I dont like the FWD feeling anymore. Plus now it turns out that they broke something and are going to need my car until monday... This damn timing belt is getting to be a pain in my patootie!

Hennessy is the best dealer in GA for sure... We get cars 05 loaners. The one with the most mileage was like 2000 miles. And now their GIVING RX400h's WOW... I was wanting that to come.... Just when i thought RX330's were a treat

Haha good question. Since our connections aren't there anymore...don't count on it.

On the other hand the last 2 loaners I got, 30k and just this past Monday 60k, I've gotten new RX330's. The 30k one was a new 04 at the time w/25 miles had it over the weekend and left it with 520 miles. This recent loaner RX330 I had was an 05 w/only 10 miles on the ODO. I returned it back to them this past Wednesday 310 miles later.

Wonder what 14 years would get me??????

Parker here in Little Rock usually has 330s (RX or ES) which they turn over after 2-3k miles. Couple of times I've had an LS (CPO car; they don't keep these as loaners). Also have IS3s; hope they use 350s instead of 250s when the 2nd gen comes out!!
