One more thing I forgot to say; make sure to verify how much engine oil you have. Since you got it from a dealer, they had to certify the car and do an oil change. In mine, there was oil up to the lowest (minimum) point on the dipstick. And on the work order, it said 'oil change up to 4 litres'. The RX takes about 6 litres. Thanks for all the tips...funny thing about the tires when I went for my first test drive after my wife had driven it, the salesperson we had been dealing with wasn't there and I spoke to one of the other guys. We were walking around the car and he mentioned that he thought the tires were a bit worn - we both felt the tread depth and there was average depth on all four (maybe 4-5mm but not entirely sure). Next time I came back to purchase the car, I mentioned to our sales person the depth concern on the tires and this time we measured 6.5-7mm on all four. Is it possible they actually swapped in a different set of better ones? Brand was exactly the same - Michelin Energy. Sounds to good to be true from a dealer, although they are a Mercedes dealer so not sure they are looking to rip me off for some used tires...

I am a new owner and haven't yet had any dealer experience as I purchased the vehicle from a non-Lexus dealer. Hopefully where I am located the dealer doesn't charge me $180 for an oil change....

First post and just joined the forum. Seems like really great info on here so far. I bought a 2008 RX350 no Nav, stock 17" wheels, but tow package, heated seats etc, pearl white with black interior with approximately 90,000 KM on it (or about 56,000 miles). Not much room negotiating at the dealer, so ended up paying $26,000 plus 13% Ontario tax. Excellent condition, not much sign of wear and tear at all. Compared to many I looked at in the 2007-2009 range, the interior, exterior and under the hood all appeared mint. One of those deals where I would have loved to squeeze more out of the dealer, but we love the car, so we are extremely happy. Congrats Mike and welcome aboard! Was your car a Certified Pre-Owned from Lexus with the extended warranty? If it was and you consider I paid $1,250 more with navigation/blue tooth and 18" wheels, about 24K less miles, I think you did fairly well on the price...That 13% tax rate in Ontario is brutal though, ours is half that amount. Unfortunately didn't buy it from a Lexus dealer so not Certified Pre-Owned, I purchased from a Mercedes Benz dealer. They had all the car proof reports etc and I know the Lexus dealer where it was purchased, so hoping to find the service history. Not too worried, but sounds like you got a great deal compared to mine. Unfortunately even if I shopped in the US, the Cdn government would still manage to get their share equivalent to our 13% tax here. As far as extended warranties - does anyone on here recommend adding one either through Lexus or somewhere else? I was quoted by a friend of a friend that works at a Nissan dealer for a 3 yr/80,000 KM (50,000 miles) warranty bumper to bumper covering all parts and labour for $3,700 with a $50 deductible. Seems like a lot but not sure what to expect in maintenance costs over the next 3 years or so...

Could you please send me the info for an 08 RX350? Thanks!
