The 23 RX 350h (by one account) will be AWD and e-CVT standard, and get 36 MPG on “Premium” gas, according to a posting by Kirk Kreifels. There is no way a Lexus dealer is going to give up a next-Gen RX 350h AWD next year for under 64K$ IMHO. Lets face it, Gavan, the RX 350 is a rolling Box Car( compared to low-drag Lexus sedans like the ES). My last 100 mile interstate trip, I got a surprising 31 MPG with the RX 350, but I got 50 MPG with the ES 300h (same route / same traffic). But I don’t drive 75 MPH like some guys. That’s for those who like to wear their tires out quicker and spend more time at the gas pump. I hate hanging out at tire stores and gas stations.

Frankly, this is insane advice. Unless you already destroyed your engine by overheating it, swapping in a used engine is not only a potentially more expensive option, but is also very risky. When I was 21, I had my 68 Cougar's engine swapped by one pulled from another 68 Cougar. The engine lasted about 1 year. Did you compare local shops on yelp.com? I would do the same for Toyota dealerships and their service departments. Conduct your due diligence and get back to us. By the way, a Highlander with 68K miles for 1250 shipped is HIGHLY suspicious.
