Hi everyone - have been addicted to Lexus ever since I met my wife in college. She was the only freshman driving around in a 95 ES300. That was a fantastic car, probably the best car we have ever owned. We then moved up to a 99 RX300 which we drove until 125,000 miles. Then, we made a couple terrible mistakes - me, a mercedes Benz ML350 and her, a jaguar x-type. We both made it back to Lexus with my 06 RX and her 05 RX. Then kids happened and we parted with mine for a little gas miser. We drove her 05 until last week where we fell in love with a silver 09 RX350 with 38,000 miles - CPO of course. I don't think that we will ever leave Lexus, it appears that no matter what we look at, all roads lead back to Lexus. Thanks and happy motoring!

My bamboo colored 2007 AWD with Nav (but no Mark Levinston) has ruined me for life. The quality, quiet ride, comfort, and the back up camera makes everything else I drive make me appreciate what Lexus does. Enjoy everyone !!!

Just bought a 2009 RX 350 AWD with 56000Mi . No Navi No Back-up Camera and paid $26000. Took the new baby home and found out no spare tire!!!!!! Well the Dealer told me that's how he got the car and he is not willing to get me a spare tire. He just said that I got such a excellent deal that he has no room for any additional cost.
Other than that I like it.

Just bought new to me Lexus RX 350
My wife and I were looking for to get out of our 2002 5-speed Honda civic coupe and into something more comfortable. We were torn between the Lexus RX 350 and the Infinity m35 sedan. We landed on the Lexus RX 350 for the more dog friendly aspect and the deal (at least I feel like it was a good deal) we found.
Ended up paying $20,500 for a White on Tan 2007 RX 350 with 62,000 miles. Fully Loaded (even has the RSES...which we will surely never use
) The only features missing is AWD (which i did not want) and the adaptive cruise, which I really wanted but would probably never actually use.
There are a few features I am surprised that it does not have standard, such as a smart keys like what the ls430 has. Or at least a key that when used recalls your memory settings.
But overall we are very happy with it so far.

Me and my gf spontaneously decided a few mornings ago to get a new/used car. She currently had an '06 Nissan Altima 2.5S, but always said the RX was her dream car for when we have a family. So we went looking for a nice RX to see what kind of deals were available.
We found a few pretty decent deals in our area (Miami), and finally decided on an '07 RX350, the color is Flint Mica (charcoal color) and grey interior. It has 79,000 miles w/o NAV or some of the extra features, but this car was immaculate inside and out which is what really attracted me to it. The dealer was asking $22,500 but we were able to work them down to $18,500. She is absolutely in love with the car, and it will replace my GS as the new weekend driver
...
After the first time we drove it home, she turns to me with a HUGE smile and says "Now we have a Lexus family !!" lol

Premium everything else

How do I know if there really is Sat radio installed? I'm not a SiriusXM member but would love to be.
I love this gently driven beauty.

With the radio on, you push the AM/SAT button and it should toggle you between Satellite radio and AM. There should be at least one channel that advertises XM radio with a phone number to call and one channel that gives you your Radio ID number. You use your Radio ID number to sign up either by calling the number or by going online. I did mine online. If you don't see any Satellite stations you may not have it. Check above the rear hatch for a small black square-ish raised bump with a wire coming off of it. That's your satellite anntena. If you don't have an antenna, you probably aren't set up for it. Highly recommend it, I Love my XM radio!

Bought CPO 2009 Lexus RX 350 (Pebble Beach Edition) from my local dealer (Canadian), it had 68K Kms / 43K Miles on it, both interior and exterior were spotless for a 3.5 year old vehicle.
I test drove both this and a brand new one and found not much difference with the smooth ride and performance..
My dream came true (Lexus RX, Dark black color, Beige Interior with wood trim, Navigation, Backup camera, bluetooth phone), me and my wife are loving it, it drives smooth, 140Kms speed feels like crawling in a highway..
I would buy a Lexus RX if I get to buy one again (Hope the vehicle doesn't fall short of my expectation)...
