Hi!
Picked up my new (to me) Lexus on Sunday. Had been lightly looking and deciding on what we wanted and found a CPO at one of the "local" dealers and went to take a look. It was the last day of the month and we were able to come to an "understanding."
2014 RX350
Navigation
Claret Mica w/Saddle Tan interior (I LOVE that combination)
Premium Package w/BSM
Wood/Leather steering/gear shifter
Heated/Ventilated Seats
19" Wheels
CPO former loaner vehicle w/16,000 miles
I'm "movin' on up" from an '05 VW Passat TDI. The Lexus can't match the fuel economy and torque I got from that diesel engine, but it's at least half as quiet (road/engine) and much more comfortable. My wife hated the VW seats and we decided it was time to get something nicer & more comfortable. Since hardly anybody is making a wagon anymore, we went for Lexus. My mom has a GS sedan and a friend had an SC430. They both recommend Lexus, so here I am!
EDIT: Oh yeah...a photo. I hope this works.

Nice RX, Audiododd. I'm sure you'll love it. Make sure you check out the mileage thread to see what to expect. But more importantly, enjoy it. And thanks for the pic. Now you're officially a member of the family

Just got mine on Black Friday!
2015 RX350, Starfire Pearl with Black Leather. Ebony Birds-eye Maple Wood Trim + Steering wheel trim. Premium and Nav Packages. Options: 19" Triple-Split-Five-Spoke Wheels with light grey finish and machined face, Heated and Ventilated Seats, Intuitive Park Assist, Roof Rack Cross Bars.
Fits right in at home with my '12 IS250 F-Sport (Starfire/Black) and '09 GX470 (Blizzard/Ivory).
Was eyeballing the '15 NX200t F-Sports they were unloading off the truck when i was there but got about 8K off of the RX to make me look the other way.
Got my 35% Tint all around including the Windshield Visor Strip done on Monday. Very happy with her!

Congratulations to all new owners of the RX350. As a new owner of a 2011 which I have had 3 months I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do. To those of you who recently acquired one it is a great Christmas present.
Cheers,Guy.

A couple of weeks ago we picked up our first Lexus, a 2010 CPO RX 350 with 49k miles. It has most of the toys including navigation. This replaces our 2000 Subaru Outback and is a big change. We keep our cars a long time and are looking forward to another super car! Our other car is a 2008 Prius and we love that one too!
We live in Vermont and get a lot of snow driving in! We are anxious to see how the RX does compared to our old Outback.

New to me 2011 RX350
Hello all,
I pulled the trigger and picked up a 2011 RX350, with exactly 30k miles, nav, awd. What a beautiful car! Got it from a great dealer in Atlanta for 26k! Forgive the crummy cell phone pics, walked straight in and logged onto Club Lexus to post this. Very happy with my purchase and look forward to many years and trips with my new set of wheels.

I got my new to me 2010 almost 2 years ago, and it still puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. I'm sure you will be very happy with yours. It's a very sold built vehicle.
I'm sure you will find a lot of tips from the forum, the one thing I discovered after months of ownership was that there is a little nub to the right side of the exterior rear hatch switch that lets you lock all doors.
Happy Motoring!!!

Its funny that you mention that, I was actually wondering what that little nub did. Thank you for that Super Blue! This quite the upgrade to the old Honda Accord and it may take a bit to memorize all the neat little tricks.

Congrats jitdc. Sounds like you got one heck of a deal. You should definitely post more pics when you have a chance. In the meantime enjoy your RX. BTW, I moved your thread into the 3RX family album. You're official
