Default Proud new owner of 2007 RX400h

Took this RX home Thursday.
The bluish-grey exterior with grey leather. One owner and from it's service records (serviced every 5 to 6k miles) looks like the previous owner maintained her very well.
Bought from the same dealership when it was new, serviced at same dealer, and traded it into the same dealership where I picked it up. I felt lucky finding this one, hopefully it's a gem.
Paid a little more than expected at 10,650 +TTL. I was hoping in the 9k range or 10k even.
Has 109k miles.










Cheers!

Congratulations! Imo that is the best color on the Rx400h. I have the same vehicle and same color.

You got a steal for 10k because the car looks very well maintained. If all maintenance had been carried out and its in good condition, its easily worth 18k and up.

Youll see on ads that the Acura MDX in the same year have higher resale value but people are just misinformed. The 400h is much more valuable.

Congrats. She's a beauty. Continue to take care of her and she'll return the favor. Enjoy.

Beautiful. I bought mine at 89k miles and now have 185k miles...I bought for 24k in 2010 and was very happy, but your price is outstanding. Tell us about the maintenance and we can help you save dollars. The spark plugs are due at 125 k miles, hopefully the timing belt was done at 90k miles. other than that you are good to go. I also changed the transmission fluid. enjoy. I am jealous of your price, just think you got it for less than 1/4 the original price....

That's definitely a smoking deal. Must be a Texas thing...lol We also bought our 07 with 89K, one owner, timing belt done, etc. Mine is silver with black leather. Is it FWD or AWD?

I think it was originally priced at $14900. Dealer offered "fall sale" price of 12888. I offered 10k instead of 9k because of the condition its in. We settled at 10650. Didn't take long to negotiate. But guess I got a good deal from the responses on here. I thought I got taken for at that price lol.
I kept telling them they lucky I'm buying this car from them hahhah
told them nobody searching for a car that's about to be 10 years old and nobody's looking to buy a hybrid with the cheap gas prices nowadays
