Getting my new RX 350 tomorrow
We signed the papers today and are getting the car* tomorrow. Here are some of the extra things the dealer presented for our consideration:
(1) Simoniz GlassCoat paint and interior protection
(2) Lo/Jack
(3) Simoniz PDR Plus ding/dent coverage and interior appearance coverage
(4) Tire and Wheel Coverage
I don't have the prices for each, but would really appreciate your advice on these options. Regarding item (1), I was thinking about XPEL Ultimate paint protection film but that is very expensive and, of course, is only for the exterior. Thanks to all!
* FWD, Claret with Light Parchment Leather
Comfort Package
Premium Package with BSM
Navigation Package
19" wheels
Intuitive Parking Assist
Towing Prep Package
Preferred Accessory Package

In my opninion, I would not get any of those options from dealer. Dealer makes huge profit from those options.

When I bought my 2010 RX up there the Simoniz was expensive, but I don't remember how much. Don't do any of those things. You got the same specs as my 2013. You gonna really like it. Congratulations. I'm sending you a PM.

- Nitrogen in the tires $499
- Paintless dent removal for 2 years prepaid - $500
In your case..
The Simonize is some polymer wax, you can DIY for about $30 and a few hours of your time. Bet that was a $500 option.
Lo/Jack? You already have it with Lexus Assist - free for a year, stolen vehicle coverage. It costs about $160/year after the free year, but includes lots of other features.
Tire and wheel coverage? OMG - suppose you hit a pothole? That's the line they feed you. I pointed out to Mr. Money (the F&I guy who sells this crap) that I'd been driving for about 50 years and in that time have replaced exactly NO wheels, and one tire due to a road hazard. If I'd been paying insurance against that sort of loss, I'd be the loser.

Wow, I am amazed a Lexus dealer stoops to selling that crap; ours would not consider it! One of my pet peeves about Costco is their Nitrogen scam where they charge $20 to "change" your air to nitrogen and put ugly green caps on your wheels!!......
DON"T take any of that crap and tell them you are disapointed they even TRY to sell this; do they maybe sell other car lines there???
