Here is another 2024 NX
https://youtu.be/3qaEpUZpjAQ
Can someone tell me what kind of speedometer this one is? It looks different than the F Sport one.
Also look at all the logo’s on the steering wheel buttons to help you know what is what, this looks better than blank buttons that are so confusing.
Is this how all the 2024 will look?

Has anyone ever purchased a vehicle before driving it or inspecting it?
Because my NX arrived much earlier than expected, the SA has been calling and asking when I will be coming in to complete the deal. I made it clear prior to reserving the vehicle that it would be end of May. I asked specifically if that would be okay since in the back of my mind I know dealers want to move cars when they come in to the lot. I didn’t want to waste anyone’s time, especially mine by giving over $1000 that could have made more interest. I was told that it would be fine. Now apparently his Sales Manager wants to sell the car if I don’t come in to finalize the deal or at least do it over the phone. Admittedly I’ve never done an out of state deal so there is hesitancy on my side to get into a stuck situation. I’m already dealer adverse and won’t be forced to do anything I’m uncomfortable with. I’m going to speak with them on Monday, but I may be back to square one.

Yup. There's one reason not to trade in, it pretty much always makes more financial sense to sell privately. But there's tons of reasons to trade it, major convenience, less tax, and safety being top ones. Money isn't everything. I suppose a few people in our area still remember that serial killer back a few years ago that decided to take out that guy selling his pickup truck privately when he took them on a test drive. The guy was quite wealthy and could easily afford it, he just thought why not just take the truck and burn the body, sounded like fun.
I thought about selling my RX privately, but I've already got enough on my plate. The dealer met my minimum (barely) so fine, take it, my time has huge value to me too.

Yep, especially in the current market where NX Hybrids are still in short supply. I seriously doubt the dealer will be willing to HOLD the car for you for a month.

Thanks for the input everyone! Totally understand the dealer’s perspective in wanting to sell the vehicle ASAP. It’s disappointing that terms weren’t made clear earlier when I asked about this very scenario and was upfront on my timeframe. The vehicle arriving early wasn’t going to change that. I’m fine as long as I receive a refund of my deposit.

In today’s environment, you would be lucky if a dealer agreed to hold a car for an hour let alone a month. There are too many buyers out there and they have the advantage.

yeah. The dealer I bought from has a 48 hours pickup policy which was written on the deposit form. They gave me one extra day because I couldn’t make it on that particular weekend and I had to show them my Monday flight ticket. Yeah the dealers have the upper hands now for sure.

Exactly. The 2 SF Bay Area dealers I had put $1k deposit on didn’t even ask why I cancelled. They gotta have buyers lining up for these hybrids here and they can probably get more money from the next buyer.

Quick note: This isn’t a hybrid NX. I know hybrids have the majority here, but the non-hybrids do exist too, lol.
As for dealers having the upper the hand, that only holds true if I was in a desperate situation. I’m not. Many Lexus dealers exist and if necessary, other brands exist as well. Matter of fact, I test drove a BMW X4 M40i on Friday. I can now take a closer look at the X3 version.

Prior to the pandemic these were all standard features included for both driver and passenger seats. Parts shortage was understandable however today BMW is still removing seat features most likely to cut costs on their end.
They use to give you a credit for the missing seat feature on the window sticker in 2022 it would says credit for missing lumbar or credit for missing width adjustment, however today they no longer give a credit and the seat features are still missing.
