The Dealer knows that, I took a test drive & found several issues to motivate me to do some heavy negotiating as I knew $4,500 was just a sticker price.
When the dust cleared, the final price was $2,800 & I knew the Sales Manager wanted me hell out of the Showroom at any cost.
All that to say I vote for the 05 RX330 at the Infinity Dealer, they want to sell that vehicle ASAP, keep haggling for your goal price until the salesman starts sweating
& brings over Sales Manager, then the real fun starts.
No offense but I'm calling BS on your $2800. No way - What was wrong with it?

As I explained in my previous post the RX was not Safety Inspected therefore I needed to invest around $2,000. in order to Safety Inspect the vehicle in order to plate the RX.
Maintenance as the Timing Belt had to be done & more.
Also, a cash purchase will fall in favor the buyer when negotiating for a rock bottom deal.
If someone did not purchase the RX, it most likely would have been sent to an auction.
Now the RX runs great, no warning lights at all in the instrument panel, the only issue left for now is the power tailgate does not function.
No offense taken, "when it sounds to good to be true, it probably is" could have been applied in this case.
Actually for around $5,600. US you can purchase this RX with 130,000 miles in my area, in the Great White North....
