RX330 Body Kit?
I went to my dealership JM Lexus in Margate FL to get my first service. I got it a little early 3500k because I needed to talk to some people in the bodyshop. Anyways I needed to kill some time and went to the showroom on the floor were 3 RX330s 2 had full body kits and 1 had some really good looking running boards. I looked at the sticker and it only said something like Sport Kit which was like $8,000 the cars were $48k sticker. So went down to the accesories counter and inquired about the running board and she showed me the tube ones. I asked about the ones in the showroom and she said the come from farbrication like that and they didn't sell the parts. Anyone else see these RXs? Where can I get aftermarket running boards?

Tell me about JM
We just leased an 04 RX330 from JM. I know they're the largest in the US/World etc. I live hours away in FL but not another dealer was close price wise. There wasn't much need for negotiation as the offered up $100 UNDER invoice right off the bat, Prem. Plus Pkg. with 18's $35,500. But everything else was an absolute headache. I was coming from an Infiniti to which the iInfinit dealer arranged through JM's Fleet Mgr. for the RX to be picked up and trucked to my town. Incidentally they buy a number of new Lexus vehicles from JM through their fleet Sales Mgr so this was something they had done hundreds of times the last several years. The idiot salesman didn't even take the time to walk out to the annex lot the next day to ensure it was picked up. A week later I get a call from him that it was still in Margate. My wife is ticked off at this point and fly's down and drives it back, 500 miles on the odometer the first weekend plus the expenses involved. It's leased so mileage is a concern and due to work and having a 2.5 year old she had to go by herself. My Infiniti dealer offered to pay the $220 for it to be trucked however JM wanted $500 and it was the SAME company. Then they jacked $18 to the cost of the registration, I know because my wife works for DHSMV. Their price was excellent but it wasn't the experience I expected from a Lexus dealer especially the largest volume one. My wife LOVES the car though, she's had honda's, 2 Infiniti's and said this was by far the nicest which is a good thing because she really wanted a Sequoia 1st and the RX 2nd before taking delivery of the RX.
