My friend is a realtor and he is finally going to get rid of the caravan and get a 5 seater luxury SUV instead.

he doesnt want a minivan so he doesnt have to give people a ride especially families with kids
since kids in cars dont give him a chance to talk business and tend to trash the cars...


anyways

he is looking for some good reviews on the RX350
anyone got a collection of good reviews on SUVs in this class?
thanks.

I am a Realtor and I got rid of my 4 Runner to go to the RX. I can't believe the difference it has made with my clients. Their perception is so different. They think you are more successful and they certainly enjoy riding around in the RX. I have a client with a kid and she said she would never think of having her girl ride in the car (too nice). I get nothing but compliments on the vehicle and comments regarding how well I must be doing. You have to work all the angles anymore in this business, it has paid off.

Your friend won't regret it.

I have noticed that the customer reviews on various web sites including Edmund's are getting more positive. Lexus has made changes to the RX along the way to address a few of the problem areas.

Your friend can't go wrong with choosing an RX for driving their clients. All I can say is that the most successful Realtor in my area uses an RX 350. I'm sure it's not magic, but it coes convey a sense of success and pampering of potential buyers.

A realtor in an RX wouldn't influence me into buying any house.
It's all about the house not the ride to it.

RXSF

^^ agreed. but it might convince me to list my house with them.

Not me.I'd go by more than the vehicles.
However,I may be more impressed by a LS460 or S550.

In the current real estate market, it's probably hard for a lot of real estate agents to make their lease payments on high end cars.

Well Joe, I just swapped my LS600 for an RX350; will you buy a house from me now?

Not in Vancouver Bob!

RXSF

Burnaby, I just found your thread on the LS forum. Where are the pictures?

LexBob2

That's good!!

Johnny

Coming soon, lots of rain so as soon as I get the right conditions, I will.

Johnny

Yes, but as you know even in a hot market, it's still dog-eat-dog!

Depends on the location and cost,Burnaby.

I don't think I would recommend a RX350 to anyone. For the price I payed, I should not have rattles, wind noise, a cumbersome nav system and a just too noisy car on the road. Tell your friend to get a LS460. I have friends with 460's that are nearly ten years old that are quieter than my RX.
