I'm retiring my 2000 GS300 and ready for a 2013 - 2015 RX350. I'm having a hard time finding a CPO Claret Mica in CT Patiently waiting......

You may have to expand your hunt to neighboring states, as CT is not that big. Did you try the advanced search feature on www.cars.com? You can set a mileage distance from your zip code to search and select several other criteria. Also the Lexus corporate site lets you search CPO cars by state.

Keep an eye on Auto trader, I found mine via Auto Trader which ended up being a trade-in at a BMW dealer.
Good luck..

Its a very lovely color with a saddle tan or black inferior looks amazing. I really wanted that color when retiring my white rx, but someone snatched it right from under my nose while i decided to look at other available RXs. Good luck and pay attention to auto trader.

Thanks for the advice, I'll widen my search and check those other sites. I didn't realize that I find get a CPO on AutoTrader. Waiting patiently....

Just did a quick search- I saw a handful that color in NH or MA.

Claret is beautiful, along with Deep Sea it's my personal favorite color for an RX.

I get very, very few of them in sadly.... they're tough as heck to find.

@ rideandski, I'll check it out. Didn't get a chance yesterday...

Here is a link to the Lexus CPO search page http://www.lcpo.com/VehicleSearchRes...,RX+350,RX+400

There are a couple of Claret Mica vehicles on page 2 that are at Lexus of Smithtown, in St. James, NY

Here is one at Lexus of Westport, CT http://www.lcpo.com/VehicleDetails/c...-CT/2733633153

Thanks Clutchless.....

I've looked into the one in Westport, it doesn't have a Navi.

I may have to also get an up close look at the Starfire Pearl, there seems to be plenty of them around.

I suspected that on the Westport one because it was so cheap for a CPO. You can ask the closest local dealer to notify you when one in your color-option scheme arrives. Or expand your search. I ended up getting my RX in Long Island and I live outside Washington, DC. I saved $4,000. It was not CPO, but had a clean CarFax, only 21,000 miles and was a trade in at a Cadillac dealer.

Both of our Lexus vehicles are Starfire Pearl, as was our 2005 ES. It is a very nice shiny shade of white and very popular. Get the parchment (tan) interior and be sure to get black floor mats.

Thanks Clutchless.... I love the $4k savings!
I have put my local dealer to work search for "the one". They actually have one but it has 44k miles on it - a bit too many for me. But since they are located only 2 miles from my office, I'll go get an upclose look at the Starfire Pearl.

@ rld14, I wished that Deep Sea was matallic. My fav color is blue, but I need had a little more sparkle....

Deep Sea is Metallic!

In my research today I found a RX that is being advertised as a 2013,however, it was built in 6/12. There are many description of the vehicle that refers to "2012". For instance the shark fin antenna, 12-disc indash cd player, rear window defroster...... Help, I'm confused.
