Glad to hear the saga is nearing it's end! Post some pics when you get it home...

Will do! Thought I'd get someone at the store to take my photo with the Lexus and have their big, beautiful dealership in the background. If I can remember it when I get there.

Flew down yesterday morning, test drove, did paperwork, got extra key cut, got him to throw in nice gray Lexus visor, drove 722 miles home. I-75 is a mess with construction and a huge wide load thing a gig blocking traffic. Got in late last night. Here's a few photos as promised. Loved it and especially PCS & Adaptive Cruise Control.

Very nice.

Dont forget to treat the seats ... I am not sure what product to use on perforated seats.

Thanks Salim! I see from the service history that it was done at 3,000 miles (Interior Protection Package), so it's over due. I have Lexol sprays l'll use on it when I get a chance. They work well on my 2002 RX300. It has had the Lexus Special Service Campaign on all 2015-2017 NX (Recall) done on the Brake Hold Reprogramming. ($1410.87)

Also of note is the water pump was replaced at 44,000 miles under warranty after leaking.
My vehicle having nearly 50,000 miles may have these maintenance issues sooner than most CPO NX200t vehicles with lesser miles.
