Greetings everyone.
I've been "lurking" here for a month, ever since making a decision to go with nx200t after test driving new AudiQ3, RDX, Murano (have one now), Mazda CX5, Subaru.
This forum is arguably the best among other brands in the demonstrated knowledge of the vehicle in question.
I'm about to take delivery of AWD with premium and nav. packages in NBG/flaxen in a couple of days and just wanted to know if anyone will suggest any specific questions to ask or topics to cover with the sales consultant at that point considering this will be my first Lexus?
(One thing comes thru here is the concern over paint durability...never had any issues over 8 years with a Murano.
Is it a "must" to pay extra for paint protection by the dealer?)

if you can negotiate labor on your extras ahead of time.

If you want mudguards or paint protection negotiate to pay the price of the parts but not labor installation.

As for paint protection it is your decision. If prior vehicles of yours tended to gets scratches and nicks on the front bumper and hood from pebbles and road debris then get it. If you have not experienced that and park in a garage most of the time you may not need it.

Already have them "throw in" mudguards, door edges and real bumper protection strip.
What's the approximate breakdown of parts to labor on the paint protection job? Thanks.

here is a link to the xpel site filtered for the NX

Looks like around $250 for the parts.

My suggestion would be to get some time with the technology specialist before you drive off the lot. My dealer includes this as part of the delivery process, so I'm not sure if that's standard among Lexus dealers or not. For both my RX and IS, the tech specialist sat with us in the cars for a few minutes after everything was signed and done. He walked us through some of the nav settings and directions, paired our phones for us, set up our Enform accounts, gave us helpful hints, etc.

Thank you JDR76, will follow your advice.

My dealer did the same for me when I took delivery of my Eminent White F Sport back in December. He also took a few of my questions by phone & email. I believe this should be all part of the Lexus Experience.

We spent close to 45 minutes with the delivery specialist. She showed us how to pair our phones, and completed that task for us. Got us to set up our seat, mirrors, and load them into memory. She spent time on the radio and programming radio stations and the Navigation. Helped us enter our home address and set it up as a "home". Combine that with a bouquet of flowers on the dash for my wife, a plush blanket as a gift, and I have to say, it was an excellent experience.

Plush blunket, wow, I'll mention that, lol!

I'm not sure where the wife hid it.
