2010 RX350 New to Toyota/Lexus
Honda royalist since 1989, finally purchased a Toyota/Lexus for the first time.
Almost bought a 2010 Toyota Highlander two years ago, but local dealers could deliver the model we wanted at the price they promised and ended up getting a Pilot EX-L. I was not very happy with that experience from Toyota dealers.
After casually looking at some CPO RX350 in Starfire Pearl, wife wanted Lexus, so pulled the trigger and traded in the Pilot, losing few thou, but wife is happy, so I guess it's worth it
After reading many posts here, I have added following so far:
1) Body side moulding and mudguard purchased from Sewell. Both were super easy to install and the price was right.
2) Lamin-X foglight protector film in Optic Blue. Again, super easy to install and I like the way my foglights look.
Will be adding Curt hitch and the additional lighter socket, referencing videos and pictures posted by LIlly and XRUNNER next couple of weeks. Thanks to both!
Had to take the car back to the dealer twice already for minor issues:
1) Bumper clips - The area where the bumper/headlight/fender meets, the bumper cover was pulling apart, opening up 1/8 inch gap on both sides. Dealer replaced existing clips with "upgraded" clips under warranty. Still not a perfect fit, but at least it's not coming apart anymore.
2) Squeak from the steering wheel - Steering wheel was "crying" with every turn (sounds like rubber rubbing together), and the dealer "fixed" it by greasing it with special grease which took a day to get, but after couple of days, the squeak is back. Will be taking the car back to the dealer.
Overall, very satisfied with the car. Rides super smooth and quiet, and love all the technical features. Hope to keep this one years to come.
BTW, can anyone tell me how to upload pictures from my c-drive? Thank you!

In the Advanced reply window there's a little icon that looks like a paper clip. Hover your mouse over it and it should say "Attachments". Click and you will get a dialog box in which you can choose files to upload. You are limited to 2 MB per file.
