Default The 3RX And Its New Roommate!
Sup 3RX Gang!
I just picked up a '13 LX570 last night so my RX350 doesn't have to sleep alone at night anymore. I got a good deal, $6,000 off a MSRP of $91,000, payed $95,968 OTD all fees included. I ended up paying full cash since I didn't want to deal with payments. I only have one pic for now, I'll post some more next weekend

***Note to Moderators***- I already have a thread in the LX section, I just wanted to notify my 3RX buddies. I'd appreciate it if you guys let this thread stay here, Thank You!!!

NICE! How do you get out of the LX? Through the sun roof or the rear hatch?

That's tight, literally and figuratively, LOL! Congrats on the new addition. Let us know how you like it. Seems like there's a trend going on around here lately to get a companion for the RX.

Congratulations on your new companion.
To be honest, it's going to be Sexier once you put some mud on that bad boy.

That was just for seeing how tight it gets, the RX is gonna be outside for a good week or until I make more room for it the garage.

The RX is already too big for real car fun, so, for a companion vehicle, I went in the other direction.

Thank you, bro. The cars are a nice combination for me. One allows for easy runs to the Home Depot, the other allows me easy opportunity to meet new friends.

Congrats! It's one of the best SUVs you can buy.
On a side note, is there a reason to buy such a large vehicle with all-terrain capabilities?

Yea, I wanted to go the sporty route but being young the insurance would rape wallet like there is no tomorrow. I got quote for my dad's 911 Turbo S and they told me 2000 a month not including the RX and the LX and I have a clean record, no accidents or anything. It's not like I can't afford it but it just worth to pay 24k a year for just insurance, it's not like I'm paying off something it's just money going no where, at least for me. He wasn't going to sell it because of me but then when he found the rates it wasn't worth for him either so he just said he'll buy another one when he stops flying back and forth to India so frequently.

No reason just wanted an SUV, wanted something with a V8 roar, and since parents sold off both their SUV's there was no more V8's in the household, so I just bought this one, also my dad had a 2011 before he decided to fly back forth to India so often and I missed the LX. So hence this purchase.

Wow I'm glad my builder in Jersy built a big two car garage. My 2012 RX has company with my Wife's new IS-250.
Good luck with the new SUV.
