Default 2009 Rx 350's Lets Hear About Them !!

Well the 09 RX'S are out so lets hear how people are feeling about them.
I may pull the trigger myself but I wish I knew how the 2010 was going to look.
What have people been getting off there sticker prices on there 09's?
Does Lexus ever plan on addressing there all wheel drive issues?
Any updates would be appreciated...

I'm a newbie on this MB. I have just purchased an 2008 RX350 AWD. What AWD issues are you talking about ?

09=08. We have an 09 and are satisfied. nothing solid on the 2010 remodel yet that i know of. we were shopping now, not a year from now so it was that simple for us.

personal choice as to whether someone wants to buy the first remodel run and have the latest look/gadgets as well as all the predictable 1st year annoyance glitches.

Well as of todays date I just made a phone call to find out that some 08's still remain and you should get one for $2000.00 below invoice as stated in other threads. Now for the 09's . I found out that there is an incentive of $500.00 given out on all 09's and I was told that an RX with nav.you could take home for $1000.00 over invoice.
So that is a $3000.00 difference as I see it but you can get any flavor or options with the 09 along with the fact that depreciation already on the 08.
So what really is the better deal? I actually see it as an out of pocket choice now for an 08 but at resale you will recoup your 09 purchase so it's a draw no?

08 or 09 does not matter, it is the number of months after 1st service date for warranty or 50,000 miles.

They call it an 09, but the mileage will be the key, not the year. Best bet is to get teh best price between an 08 and an 09. The 09's had colors unique to 09's only. That's about it. Right guys?

really? that must be a Central Area thing, that doesnt exist in the Southern Area. in fact, i wouldnt think we would see any dealer cash on these until a few months prior to the launch of the 2010 model next year....

I hope the redesign never happens; I'm selfish. I don't want people to have a model that looks newer then mine. I have an 04 and not ready to buy a new car yet. Just hit 60,000 a month ago.

Well it is going to happen but will it be worth all the waiting that is the question...
There are two color choices for the 09 but all else remains the same .
The $500.00 I was told was good through 3/31 08 but we know how that goes..
