congrats on the new RX! Bold move for you not even driving the car first and just bought it! haha Theres alot of talk about previous RX owner being disappointed and hanging on to their V6s and you my friend are not one of them! Hope you enjoy your new RX! Lets see some photos!
Thanks for helping me update my signature. I'll post photos next week. As to buying the car like that...hey, it's a Lexus. I watched most of the 2023 RX videos on YouTube. I've been a Lexus owner for 33 years now...I had the second 1990 LS400 ever sold in Pittsburgh, (fall 1989). And have been driving Lexus ever since. So I'm confident that this will be fine. And although the ride home wasn't long, the car seemed fabulous.

Congrats!
I haven't driven one either and will likely get my first drive on the way home. But, I own a 16 RX 450h and I did drive the 2023 NX so like you I anticipate no surprises. Congrats on the find - I was just as surprised I could attach my name to one arriving in Feb. My salesman texted me that it was available and I looked at it and replied "not anymore".
I don't need the ML because I only listen to talk/sports/news/audiobooks. I am hoping one comes in without it, that otherwise has all my other options.
Looks good, please give a few impressions of the stock sound, I’m coming from the els 16 speaker sound in a mdx aspec so that has been my biggest fear about not having the ML. Thanks

I think you’d be surprised of the sound quality from this 350. From what I remember from my 19 MDX, the difference is negligible. The 350 stock sound is quite rich. I will work on various adjustments and report back.
Is this in Oregon? I thought Oregon has no sales tax on cars.
Here is what the Lexus sales told me - “And the Oregon privilege tax is less than 1% of the total purchase price of your vehicle, that was passed a few years ago, and goes towards the city/ schools where the business is located.”
After I received her response about the tax, I researched our DMV website, and it says - “Vehicle dealers in Oregon are responsible for paying the Vehicle Privilege Tax on the sale price of each taxable vehicle sold. Dealers may collect the amount of the tax from the buyer in the same manner and at the same time as the collection of document processing fees.”
As I understand, the Privilege Tax is the dealer's responsibility. Unfortunately, I visited two Lexus stores, and they both put this on the buyer's side, which made me feel bad about it. I’m sure BMW will pay for it on their end.
Two weeks back I got a 2023 RX 350h Luxury trim fully loaded (inclusive all packages). It is a pearl white exterior with peppercorn/open wood pore interior.
I was driving a 2015 Toyota Camry SE which sadly got totaled in a deer accident. Luckily no injuries to us and probably deer survived too. Cheers to the safe design of Toyota family!
For the RX 350h, I will share my thoughts, comments and few questions along with overall purchase/drive experience after a month of ownership. For now, I am really enjoying the car and finding new features everyday. Stay tuned for more!
Thank you.

Mind sharing some pics of the interior when you can? Mine will have Pepercorn too - I've seen some videos of it but that's all.
@1Louder I have added some interior pictures. The peppercorn resembles dark chocolate shade. Hope that helps. Also, the color tone vary depending on ambient lighting level. And congratulations on your purchase. I am sure you will love it.
