I got my 05 Sportx for 19,500 with only 28k miles on it. So I wasn't complaining! At that time I wasn't even looking at Lexus, I was interested in the Audi A3. Then I came across the Sportx and it was love at first sight. =) Bought it the following day....

Good luck on your search and be patient......I came close to buying an Audi and for some reason I kept searching and I'm glad I did.

For example
