My wife's car was totaled recently and we were looking for a new car for her. She was pretty sure she wanted a Lexus sedan, but after driving the RX, she was in love. We did some looking and found a '14 with 68k miles. It was the right price at the right time, so we pulled the trigger. She loves it. I haven't gotten to drive it yet, but I'm sure it's great.

2014 RX 350
AWD
White? with Saddle Leather interior
Navigation with the package for blind spot monitoring.




This is my 4runner in the lot of the dealership while we were looking.

Default hello

what's up, just purchased a 2011 RX350. it's in great shape and i enjoy driving it so far. i was shopping for a 4runner limited... but for the same yr, options and mileage, the RX was about 8k cheaper, so went for it.

i have a couple questions... has anyone installed a chip in their rx350? or any other mods to boost the power?

has anyone upgraded the audio? we have a sequoia w/ the JBL system and it sounds awesome. the RX also has a nice system and sub... just wondering if anyone has swapped out the sub, and if so, did you need to install an amp?

thanks!!
s-

Default New 2011 RX owner

Hello,

Picked up a 2011 with 119,000 miles for $12,800 on Saturday. From my month long search, I believe it to be a good price. It was a one owner trade in at an Audi dealer with all maintenance done regularly at a Lexus dealer. It did have a "minor" rear damage report on Carfax, and I can see some cracked paint on the rear bumper corner if I look closely. The rest of the car I would consider to be as near to perfect as possible for a 7-8 year old car.

1. RX350
2. No navigation
3. Tungsten Pearl (?)
4. Option Packages: ???
5. Sport model? 18s or 19s ???

I still have a month left on a Ford Escape lease and am under mileage so will continue to drive that for the near term.

I do have a couple of questions:

1. The audio system has a button that says Aux/USB - where is the USB input in this vehicle? I had my son looking while driving it home and he couldn't find it.
2. The cluster has a info section that can toggle between range, ave mileage, etc... Is there the ability to put a digital readout of actual speed up there?
3. Is there a Lexus website that I can type my VIN number into to see what my actual build configuration is for the vehicle?

I do participate in other forums and understand that the search function can be my friend, but since I'm doing an intro, I thought I'd ask the questions above.

(Doesn't appear that I can get a photo to load from my computer.)

Thanks,
MichBadger

You can do a search online for "drivers.lexus.com" and register -- enter your VIN number and you will see the build config of your vehicle.

Default First Lexus purchase

Just bought a RX 350 AWD cashmere pearl 2015 certified 31K with parchment leather .. rest of warranty until April 2019 and then two years bumper to bumper afterwards .
I have three Toyota’s as well ,2016 AWD Rav 4 ,2008 AWD Ltd 4 runner and 2005 4WD Tundra .
We were looking at another highlander as a family car but decided to try a Lexus this time so traded our highlander for it !
After buying from the same Toyota guys for a long while I had to deal with the Lexus dealer BS and lies so it was a tough time but I got through it .LOL
We are happy with the car so far but I have a question about the Michelin Latitude tires that came with it ....I am a fan generally of Michelin but have any members of experience of these on the RX350 upgraded to a Michelin Defender or a Bridgestone dueler or put a wider 245 tire on the 18 inch wheels that are standard on their vehicle ?
thank you

Default New to Me: 2015 RX 350, 6000 miles, $33k, former lease

I assume a little old lady drove this thing to and from church/grocery shopping and kept it in her garage. Driven 2000 miles a year. Classic case of "you bought it and it lost value after it was driven off the lot". Feel like I got a 45k car @ 12k off.

Not CPO, bought from a Toyota dealer.
My wife loves it. Took the kids to a birthday party and all her little mom-friends were like, ohh so pretty, take a picture! And so now my wife, who formerly never cared about cars, now loves her car and is taking car pr0n pics - for you!
