I am seriously considering the purchase of a RX 450H for my wife. I have searched this site and am still seeking a few answers before I march over to the Dealer.
-First of all, does anyone regret the purchase of a 450 over a 350? It will take a long while to realize a fuel cost savings (though I know there are other benefits ;)
-Did anyone elect not to get the Navigation System Package and regret it? I have heard so many negative things about RX navigation systems that I think I'll keep my Garmin.
-Did anyone elect not to get the Luxury Package and regret it? I suspect that the 19" wheels will enhance handling, but their tires are probably expensive to replace. I really don't see what an additional $2k gets you.
-I'm seeing 2011 RX 450H's selling for $41K before options in Southern California. Did anyone get a better deal?
I would appreciate anyone's personal experiences. Thank you.

<<EDIT>> Well, it all seems to be a mute point because all the Dealers ordered the Hybrids with all packages. You can only get one without a package if you special order it. Now, they are pushing "end of year reductions". Don't know if that is hype or not. Having worked as a car salesman 25 years ago, I know that salesmen will work every angle.
