Thanks for the concern!
Still working with the dealer towards a new RX. We got the financial part done, now it's about color. Apparently there was some sort of strike in Canada that has limited their inventory, and they won't have a Starfire Pearl for up to 30 days. Right now they have gray, dark gray, or black. I'm pretty sure I don't want to compromise on the color of a $50K + car. I'm currently weighing that against the fact that I'm also pretty sure I don't want my wife driving the old one, either.
It's the last day of the month, and the day before a 3 day weekend. I sure would like to get this done!

First, sorry for the incident but happy that your wife is fine. I would be mad if that happened to my spouse as well.
Second, I am happy to hear that you take on the dealers offer. Some dealers will go beyond their duty to make the customer happy.

This entire issue can finally be put to rest. Last night we took delivery of a 2013 RX450h in Starfire Pearl (which is the color my wife wanted all along). The end result is a good one for us, and we're both pleased.
Once again, our dealer (Kuni Lexus of Littleton) performed flawlessly for us, and will receive our strong and vocal support. I may even stop complaining about the price of parts.
I'll post a picture when I have a few minutes. Right nowI'm going through the owner's manual (yes, I really read them). Many of the functions are the same as our 2010, but some are different and dramatically improved. Mostly, I have to learn about the hybrid system.
Thanks again, for all your suggestions and support!
