fredylee Posted July 3, 2004 Author Share Posted July 3, 2004 Nothing wrong with the SUV, I am just thinking on getting the VW Toureag. I can afford losing $3000 to get the car I wanted. Consider it I am renting for a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rx300_coach Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 Wow..looks like the same colour as my rx300 did they carry over this colour? (btw i have the coach edition) Edit: model year for mine is 2002 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexusfreak Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 Why do you want the Touraeg over the RX? I'd keep the RX personally the thing is georgous! B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 Natsume's posting priveledges have been suspended indefinately as the administration decides on the neccesity of a ban. I am so sorry for his behavior fredy he is totally out of line. Please continue with your thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredylee Posted July 3, 2004 Author Share Posted July 3, 2004 Thank you for noticing SW03ES. He is out of line. BTW, This Metallic color is wonderful. At noon time, it is blueish, at night, it is greenish. The base color is Grey Metallic. I am not really sure whether I will chose the Toureag or the higher Lexus GX. Just need to money to get the other model. or I might even get the RX400h (if I can get my hand on it) Anybody knew any rumors whether they will come up with a new LX model anytime soon?

93LSOwner Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 Good question about the LX because I was thinking of the same thing. It has been along time since Lexus redesigned the exterior, back in 1998. The RX looks awesome and I’m really loving the color. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredylee Posted July 3, 2004 Author Share Posted July 3, 2004 Exactly, If they design a new LX, I might be interested. It would be fabolous. But I have not heard no rumors about new LX coming up. I hope they design it a little sporty looking like the RX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XQ1 Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 fredylee, With those options a brand new RX330 AWD would be: Invoice : 38,516 MSRP : 43,970 Hope this helps with pricing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mailrail Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 Although it's getting fairly good reviews (so far) for reliability, I would tread lightly when considering a first-year production model car like the Toe-rag, or whatever VW calls it. Considering that they're about the same $$$, the Lexus seems the better bet to me. 'Course, if you're looking to turn heads, I guess the VW wins out. Good luck selling your RX for $43K though; most dealers have plenty of 04 stock left and many (like my local dealer who has FIFTY on their lot) are dumping them for invoice price.

tds Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 I would check out the JD Power and Associates 2004 Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS) at http://www.jdpa.com/pdf/2004055.pdf Lexus has 162 problems per 100 vehicles. Volkswagen has 386 problems per 100 vehicles. If you buy the Tourag you will spend a lot more of your Saturdays not driving it and waiting to get it fixed.

mailrail Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Great find tds...what you failed to mention was that Lexus was #1 overall! And the RX was best in its class, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgriffith Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Not on VW, but I see the daytime running lights out on GM Trucks all the time. My father has an 02 GMC Z71 and has replaced his 3 times already...always the drivers side one too. Funny, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredylee Posted July 6, 2004 Author Share Posted July 6, 2004 Exactly, I have read that same report. That Lexus is No 1. So I am not sure whether I will pick Toureag or GX, or LX. I wish they come up with a new LX. So anybody interested in this car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaDuck79 Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Good luck indeed, getting $43K for a used one. I just bought a new one 3 weeks ago, equipped exactly like yours (in the Black Forest Pearl - a really cool metallic green), for $38K. And I looked at the Toureg, but issues of quality and gas mileage soured me on it. Why does a smaller V6 than the RX get 20% worse gas mileage? Could it be the 1000 lbs more weight than the RX? Why does it weigh that much, when it's the same size? Plus, it costs more. I think I'd go for the BMW for the same money. But that's up to you, of course. I wish you well.

fredylee Posted July 8, 2004 Author Share Posted July 8, 2004 $38k sounded like a normal one without all the extra perks in there? Mine has GPS Nav, 6 CD changer, HID, Rain Sensing, 18" Wheels, Back up camera, heated seat, etc. Are you sure you are getting the same one? Where did you buy them?

SeaDuck79 Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Sorry, you're right - I do need to slightly correct. Mine doesn't have the Nav/camera. It does have everything else, though. I got it in Bellevue, WA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredylee Posted July 8, 2004 Author Share Posted July 8, 2004 It must be the FWD though. otherwise price would not be like that. How about Tax? must be another addition. Also how about the wood panel? Roof Rack, etc? Ok, if any of you are interested, then contact me, then we can talk about pricing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
