Unhappy Good bye RX300

I have been thinking about selling the RX300 and jumping into a RX400h (wife's car). When looking at autotrader, I always see a large amount of 400's for sale in southern California, and decided I would look at some on my next work trip. Found a good deal on one last week and bought it. Good news, I get to stay in the RX community.
The 400 is supposed to be delivered this Tuesday or Wednesday, so I will be cleaning up the 300 and selling her. The first gen forum has been great! Even though we are excited about the 400....it is sad to be getting rid of the 300, I bought it in 2005 as a extra vehicle for trips (snow trips), she has had minimal problems, and all in all, a great SUV.

I will post final pics of the 300 after she is all detailed up.

Suck to hear you are selling the RX300, but at least you are staying in the RX family! Congratulations on the purchase! Be sure to post pics!

Not sure yet, gonna see what 1st gens are going for in the Phoenix area and price it accordingly.....want to do a fair price, but not gonna give it away.....it's in pretty good condition, has quite a few upgrades/mods, and has relatively low miles for a 13 year old vehicle

I've got 188k on the clock on my 99 and I am also thinking about buying a new RX. I'll probably trade the RX and the RAV. I have too many vehicles.

I test drove a 2013 RX F-Sport model and really liked it. But, the RX350 or the RX450h would be just as nice. I need to evaulate which one best suits my needs for the money. I am performance oriented and tend to favor the F-Sport. My GF drives a Prius.

Congrats for the RX 400h but we will miss you in this forum. What is the price for RX 400 and how many mileages you just bought.

2008 AWD 46,600 miles, $24,000 out the door. I had it shipped to Phoenix from So Cal just to avoid paying sales tax. It was a single owner lease return, with Navigation, Premium and Mark Levinson packages.

Thanks, the MPG rating was the primary buying decision
