haha the window being open isn't a "good tip." as others have said, that shouldn't be the case. all cars, even from the 80s and before, have a one way flap to allow you to shut the doors with the windows up. take it to the dealer if you think there's an issue. could be a striker adjustment is needed (possibly)

Thanks for the pointer.

I notice the same with the front doors on our 2017 RX. You really have to CLOSE them or they don't latch properly.

Congrats! I am loving mine so far too!

One cool discovery I made last week:
when you activate the washer fluid for the hatch window, there’s also a little sprayer that cleans the backup camera! Stuff like that is a godsend during the winter up in Canada.

Hmm I need to take a peak at our 500H if it has that little sprayer for the backup camera!

Doors should close with a gentle push. Anything more needs to be readjusted. It’s supposed to be a luxury car, force required just for daily operation is not part of the design.

Default Picked ours up 1/7/23

I surprised my wife with a

2023 RX350 AWD
white Peal with macadamia interior
Premium Plus with
Rear ventilated/heated seats
rear view mirror LCD / cam
Cold weather
Moon roof
traffic jam assist

so far she loves it! She likes the auto breaking on the highway and the auto slowing down hills, etc.
her last car was a Gen 4 2016 so she’s also enjoying the wireless Apple car play.
mph course, hard to get the smile off her face when driving. Live the new seating and ambience lighting (which she turned purple during the dealer reveal)

After waiting since August on the NX 350h Luxury wait list, I thought about it longer, checked the budget, and swapped over to a Copper/Peppercorn 350h Luxury. Has nearly every option, minus the Pano Camera (been told it's a supply chain issue with Lexus at the moment and no cars being built now have one). But I'll be OK with that. I have a 16 RX 450h already and love it, but it's time for the new tech. Super excited, should get in Feb. Will post pics then.

How’s the green color in real life? I don't want it too outstanding among the cars in the parking lot. And, may I ask how much you paid? Here is my proposal which I have not signed yet.

Hi VanVan,

I really like Nori Green in my couple of weeks of ownership so far! And I got compliments from my friends/family specifically for the color. It is something to easy to identify in a parking lot (during the day) and at the same time, it doesn't stand out like a Copper Crest

As far as the price goes, the availability of hybrid , the best one can hope for is MSRP without markups. I am overall happy with that.

Hope this helps,
-maadfw

Is this in Oregon? I thought Oregon has no sales tax on cars.

Default Bought an RX350h Luxury On The Spot

I stopped into my dealer earlier this week. One thing led to another and there was an Iridum RX350h Luxury ($65,755) that just came off the truck. I asked about it and the sales manager said it would be sold quickly...to which I inquired about it being already sold. Nope! They gave me a fair trade for my 2020RX350 and I bought the car for sticker. There was a $422 "doc fee" that I balked at, but the dealer agreed to install body side moldings if I accepted the fee. I knew the market was hot for these cars, so I bought without even driving it and and just got home. Seems fabulous so far. I'm thinking that these won't be as hard to get as they are making it seem. Nevertheless, I wanted the car, they had the car and the deal seems on the better side of what I'm hearing out there. Thank you to everyone with the info on this car that helped me lead to actually moving the metal.



By the way, how do I edit my signature to update my current vehicle?

Congrats. I am waiting on that color or white. For that price you must have all the options? Post pics. For your signature go to upper right and click daryll40. Next page all the way to the left click userCP and scroll down to signature. This color will be much easier to keep clean. I have the 2017 RX 450h in silver lining slightly lighter and never shows dirt.
