It's an insane vehicle, I have seen a few on the road here. Congratulations on the purchase. I looked at getting another RX after parting my RX300 back in January (I will eventually go into the whole story why when I have time), I was not going to leave the Lexus family and settled on a used CT200h to fit my current needs, but would have likely gone a used NX route, even though I did take a good look at the UX, but certain things about the good mpg, mechanics and the prices, not to mention now living in Florida since 2008 as opposed to Mexico the previous 6 years to that, settled me on the CT200h.

Great pov walkaround drive of x3 (not x3m though!)... looks like more rear seat leg room than i would have expected.

Plot twist: keeping the RX because the wife doesn't like the X3M (says it's too small, feels too cold (Teutonic I guess), and too stiff. I guess that's what I get for not forcing her totto drive it (she said, just choose I'm ok with anything,.sigh), so it's going to be my DD! 😈 Though my F150 has to go though

More to come soon....wheels should be here Thursday!

What an awesome car and one heck of a deal too. It is cheaper than what I am paying for my M340 but even still I wouldn't have picked one up since we don't need two SUVs but it would have been really tough to turn it down since it is a true M car.

Lol, you guys are hilarious...though can see mlthrough my intentions! Haha

I'm not a fan of the stock wheels...makes it look so civilian and weighs a good deal,.so getting some blacked out ones. Will have her roof wrapped as well in black for a more sinister look (like the pic below). Some CHR revved on me today...sigh.
