I quit Facebook, all those folks talk about was how great the dealership is to do repairs.

I installed the OEM fog lamps and need help making them work (cornering works, each one comes on when blinker is on LOL).

I would like to install a sub and amp, but don't want my wife to be able to see it.

Sounds just like my story. Just bought a 2022 RX350 Fsport with 15k miles. Not a scratch on it looks brand new. Like you I wanted the V6 smoothness and 8 speed tranny. I needed a change, sold my 2012 Ram1500 to my son-in-law. Compared to that the RX feels like a rally car! I’m impressed by the quietness, fit and finish and smooth operation. Had the front windows tinted, added all weather floor mats and looking to install a hitch next month. Also installed a K&N air filter.

Hi everyone,

After years of being an "I don't need a nice car" guy (2007 Honda Accord I had for 14 years with 150k miles and probably could have driven it 100k more) I finally decided to upgrade and I've always loved the style of the RX. I test drove a few and ended up getting one with only 15k miles from Carmax. Paid extra for some of the features but that's what I was looking for and intend to have the car at least a few years. Apologies in advance for using the wrong terminology.

Already in love with driving and the feeling when I pull it up to a crowded restaurant or other venue, especially when the LED headlights are in use. After my ole reliable car I frequently turn back and look at it as I walk away

1. 2021 RX 350
2. Navigation
3. Eminent White Pearl Exterior, Parchment Interior
4. I believe it's the luxury package - Triple LED Headlights, LED fog lights and brake lights, 20-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels, Mark Levinson Sound System, Panoramic Moonroof, HUD, leather seats, heated steering wheel
5. FWD base trim

That's the car I would like to buy. Luxury trim, white exterior, and parchment interior.

May I ask, how many miles and what was the price (before taxes) please? Also what City/State?

Thanks

Hi there. I'm glad we have similar tastes. It's a very clean look and it's fun to play with all the gadgets, especially the LED headlights and the ML sound system. The parchment interior looks better than I thought in the light through the panoramic moonroof.

I bought through Carmax. 15k miles, 45k before taxes. It's in like new condition... a couple very small exterior defects but it was a lease before and overall looks brand new according to everyone that's seen it, including a couple carheads. I picked up from Carmax location in Seattle are but had it shipped from Vegas for ~$700. Good luck in your search.

Just upgraded from my 2008 Yaris w/270k miles to a 2021 RX350 base model in white w/white/tan interior. Looking forward to making some upgrades & customizing the car slightly to differentiate itself from all the white rx350's in our area.

I bought a used RX 350 w/ premium package yesterday from a MB dealer in ATL. Paid $37,900 including doc fee but before sales tax. I think I got a good deal: car was a single-owner local trade-in with 33k miles and regular maintenance at a local Lexus dealer. Happy to be back in a Lexus after trading a 2015 RX 350 for a Tundra then trading the truck for a Volvo XC60. I just couldn’t take the little annoyances (mainly rattles but also overall fragility of materials) in the Volvo and had to get back to a peaceful, sturdy cabin. I have to admit- the RX feels very heavy and slow compared to the XC60 but at the same time it soaks up all the major imperfections on ATL city streets. While it’s a technology and aesthetic step back/down (I loved the look of the XC60 and the interior was nice with the Inscription package) it’s a major upgrade with the quietness, quality, and just overall agreeability.

I tinted the windows on Day 2. 70% XPEL XR Plus on the windshield and 30% on the front windows.

Default I Got A New To Me RX Thanks For The Advice

A couple weeks ago I started a thread regarding replacing my 2007 RX350 with something new. I loved the advice and thoughts. I did indeed look at new Broncos and Mavericks, but that wasn't where my heart was. So this past weekend I drove down to Austin, Texas to the Lexus dealer to look around. Looking online, they had a few in the equipment and price range.

As it happened the one I kind of wanted was a 2016 Matador Red and they had just let someone borrow while their car was in the shop. It worked out well though because it was FWD and had 70k miles on it. I also tested an NX but it just felt a little cramped. The representative showed me another RX and I knew it was the one. It’s a 2017 Atomic RX350 with gray interior, AWD, and 40k miles. I'm not usually a silver car fan, but this is a darker shade and it really works for me. The car was a lease return and has nearly new Bridgestones on it and a lot more tech than my old RX. I did opt for the three year bumper to bumper coverage, but here’s hoping it isn’t needed!

I passed the 2007 on to my son who needs a dependable daily and I think it’ll do the trick for him. I do miss the driver’s side cup holder by the window but, you can’t have everything. The rep said something about the Lexus Enform app but I haven’t looked into that yet.

congrats. Always exciting to get a car you want.... When I walk into my laundry room, which is right by the door to the garage, I often open the door to look at my RX.

1. 2021 RX 350 FWD
2. navigation
3. Atomic silver black interior
4.12.3 screen, premium packaged
5. Stock 20” wheels and nasty AF Laufenn tires

Hello i was originally trying to get a 4runner i had everything ready but the salesperson never took the keys out of the lockbox and it got sold it was a 2022 silver sr5 premium 4wd for 36k i kept looking for one like that but they were all like 40k so i kind of gave up on that model.

I was looking at cars online a came to this 2021 rx 350 with 40k miles for 34k test drove it and purchased it i was honest with myself i live in south Florida there are NO trails near me and this would be way more comfortable than a 4runner.

Dealer changed the tires before putting up for sale but they put these horrible Laufenn tires they brand new but are super stiff and make noise at highway speeds will be replacing them in a year or less
So far i have added all weather liners tinted ceramic front windows and planning on getting a hitch for my bike rack
