Well here's an update, I am thinking of buying this one:

http://www.lexusofwayzata.com/Vehicl...-MN/2666257643

it's baby blue exterior, with the nice Parchment interior.

it has Nav, backup Cam, heated cooled seats , and I'm not sure what else..

anyone know, just by looking at it, what options I'm MISSING ?

there are some better deals , but the interior is always black, which I don't care for, seems that always takes about $2,000 - $3,000 off, the interior color.

The fact that they have four pictures of the backseats and NO pictures of the front seats is a red flag to me. If this is local to you definitely look it over, if it is a drive or remote-purchase I would ask them for detailed pictures of the front seats from a few angles. Especially with the parchment interior it is hard to keep clean, if you look at it in person look closely for repairs or extra polish to see if they just painted/over polished a bad section and then in a few months that starts flaking off.

On the options, there are a lot of options, you'll have to decide what you care about. For example 19" or 20" wheels, Mark Levinson stereo, heated steering wheel, xenon headlights (might have, hard to tell from pic), etc... I would ask them for a specific list of the options, not the generic list showing on the website. Overall it looks like a nice car, if you like the color combo.

2013 with 23k mi for 30k - that deal is insane, unless this is a 2WD bare bone version with no navi.

I can't see spending anything close to $20K on a 6 yr old RX with 114K miles but that's me.

One way to get a good deal is to buy a car with the least popular color combinations and I think the one your looking at qualifies. I see very few baby blue RX's in the Chicago area, so based on that I would say that is not the most popular color. If you like that color then by all means go for it!

Not a chance I'd touch that one, when you could get something like this for the same and a drive:

There will likely be others closer too.
