My salesman says no waitlist. When an allocation list comes in, he will call me if one matches.

I just bought a hybrid Luxury off the truck with no markup over sticker. No waitlist. It appears that inventory is arriving and the car shortage is ending.

Saw one at the dealer today, 350 not fsport. Very nice inside and out, huge improvement over 22 model. The only thing that was weird is the camera system/software. What's up with that egg spinning on the screen?
Also had some seat time in 22 RX Fsport, seats in that were amazing, fit like a glove

Unfortunately, california dealers are still charging mark up for no wait.

I didn't want to start a new thread, but I have looked at a stuff on line (including a very confusing manual) because I am simply trying to determine if the 2023 RX 350 with the four cylinder engine requires (not recommends) premium fuel? ...I'm assuming it may recommend but not require Premium, is this true? Can't believe how many places I looked on the Lexus site without finding a clear answer...you guys would know!

thanks, but that appears to be the 350h...I'm looking for the generic 350, 4 cylding turbo engine...I'm finding conflicting info on line (big surprise!)

Doesn't the 350h use a different gas engine?

Sorry I misunderstood, but almost bought the base gas engine car. It REQUIRES premium fuel. As does the NX with the same engine. I calculated that the 2023 RX with the base 4 cylinder turbo gas car gets about 10% better mileage than the 2022 RX 6 cylinder. But premium gas costs about 20% more. So the new car costs more to operate even though you're going from a 6 cylinder engine to a 4 cylinder engine.

the post from FMY seems to state that 91 octane is required and not just recommended for the 350....so confusing...
