I can't figure why I would buy a '01 RX300 for 32k (18k miles w/ premium package) instead of buying an '03 for 36k. My point is Lexus now includes the moonroof as standard and offers leather through the Value Premium Package which closes the gap between the former premium package and the current $750 upgrade. Am I missing something?

 

For just 3k diff, its worth buying the 2003 for better resale and peace of mind.

Is it a FWD or AWD? You should be able to get a 2002 for close to invoice and the 2003 for a few 100s more

The 2003 has moonroof standard but also has a price hike which neutralizes it

 

lhaymond,

Welcome to ClubLexus.

I have 1 word for you...Newcarsmell.

If you've got the money, get the new RX. You'll know it inside and out. No questions, no doubts. It will be yours without qualification. The moment the 2003's come out, the 2001 is a two year old vehicle.

Mmmm...Newcarsmell.

 

New car smell has been linked with cancer... haven't you heard?

If you buy a new RX, keep the windows down for the first 6 months or so

Good luck,
Hando

 

Uhh, that's an Australian web site. They tested two
Australian-made family sedans and one imported car.

We don't live in Australia. Lexus doesn't sell RX 300's in Australia.

Again, one word...Newcarsmell.

 

Studies show, when studied long enough, anything can cause cancer

 

Right on LexRX! I'm conviced you can do everything right to "avoid" cancer and still end up with it, so I'm gonna live my life to the fullest and enjoy every minute of it... and that DEFINATELY includes several exposures throughout my life to what Daddy-Paddy-O-Wagon said - NEWCARSMELL!

 

If you do not need YOUR RX right now then wait until next year when the new RX will debut. You won`t be happy when you will see the new one next year if you buy the "old" one now. If you buy one this year then buy at least a used one that you can soon get rid of it and buy an all-new.
