Yup, it's my second silver/black RX. My first one was black. It looked great and no one else had the same color back then. But I've learned my lesson. And I already have a full time job, LOL!

Sigh, I just sold a black one and I do know what you mean. I lived in constant fear that it would get scratched. Had to have scratches buffed out twice.
It got so many compliments. I remember when I took my husband to the Toyota dealership to pick up his( then) Tundra and we were met at the curb by two salesmen. We politely told them why we were there and they said, " We were just admiring your car" made me feel special.
But then I remember that constant fear. Sigh.

Thanks,
Silver/black/ black, premium, towing, & comfort pkgs. remote start, cross bars, dealer adds tinted windows ( all around) and illuminated door sills.
MSRP $50606. My cost $47606. Military & return customer discounts.
I'm excited because I miss my RX. I'm nervous because I'm sure they'll add some things next year
That I would like to have, but, this car sharing just will not work for a year or more.

Lexus of Clear Lake you are the greatest!

Sounds great sandy. I'm sure you'll enjoy your new RX. Please post pics when you get it and maybe a review comparing it your 2010.

How much money can one save by ordering from the factory?

It's more about getting what you want versus saving money. I managed about a 5% discount. That was after being told special orders are not discounted. No doubt being a loyal customer counted.

My salesman told me he could maybe get me 1500 off if I ordered. I finally just took one coming in this month and settled for most, but not every thing, I wanted. He did sweeten up the deal by giving me the discount they are giving on the 14 s plus some trivial things like the illuminated door sills.
I got tired of auguring with Lexus about it. It was either get a different car or accept what they had. Obviously another car was out of the question.
