ptpatrick Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 I am extremeny happy with the car...I bought it from a reputible used luxury car/subaru dealership here in Mobile, AL. The selection of cars down here was VERY limited in the wake of Katrina and so many cars being bought up, but i would like to think I got lucky on this one. It has 63000 miles, it was a lease car in Florida for the past 4 years. The factory warrenty of over and I didnt get the extended from the warrenty companies, because I have heard some of the warrenty companies are no good, and...its a lexus. I have lot of faith in Toyota/Lexus, and Honda/Acura. I previously bought used Honda CRV with 60K, and no warrenty and drove it 3 years with out one trip to the shop. So I have been lucky. Anyway, just wanted to say how cool the car is. Right now I have 89 grade gas in it but I am going to try 87. The average mpg on the panel right now is saying 17.7, and I would like to squeeze a nother mpg or 2, any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockhead Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Just curious to see the price you paid for your RX. I purchased a 2001 RX 300 Silversport about two weeks ago and wanted to compare the deal I got. Thanks.

lenore Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Try a full synthetic motor oil for better mileage. I switched from a blend to full synthetic at 115k and got another 1.5 miles per gallon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
