Default My new ride - 2007 RX400h - lots of pics

I wanted to post the pics of my "new" ride, 2007 RX400h with 101k miles.
My todo list as of right now is 1) new rubber floor mat, driver's side 2) ultra gauge 3) figure out how best to get satellite radio. Best buy has a cigarette lighter contraption for 30 bucks, and a fancy one for $300...

Anyways here are the pics:









Oops, this is not a lexus, its my old ride the dealer just could not offer me enough money to part with it

Hey good job, sweet ride. mine had 88k miles....changed the tranny fluid (WS fluid only) and the rear tranny case (WS fluid only) It is a drain and fill job...Just do a search on this site. I point out the fill and drain in the posting.Also was the timing belt done? It is due about now....

According to the dealership records (also reflected in the carfax) everything was done right when it should've been. specifically, the timing belt was done at 91,624 miles, and transmission/transfer case/differentials were all changed at the same time. The maintenance log goes on and on, every 5k miles.

On the way to work this morning (a 15 mile trip), 27.5 average mpg.

At one point I was able to cruise for about maybe a 1/3 or 1/2 mile on purely electric. There were no cars behind me so I wanted to see how long I could go without the ICE kicking in. Sweet.
