Thanks for the welcome everyone. First off, what do you call your RX400h, a car, a truck? When you say,"Hey kids, go get in the ?????." Not that it is a big deal, just wondering. I guess I will say go get in the Lexus. Anyways, after driving for 24 hours I am really liking it. Lots of power. Even after driving the big diesel for 2 years. I like the bluetooth/speaker phone. Please don't take this negatively, these are somethings that are taking some getting used to: I had the IPOD cord installed. Not impressed with functional features to use the IPOD on the screen. Options here? Navigation - My disc is version 9, is that the most current update? It was supposed to come up to date. The two things I tried to find were unfound. I had to use my gps on my phone to get where I needed to. I am really thinking of getting one of the updates that allow you to use the navigation as you travel. Will that come with an option to have better IPOD control? I was surprised there wasn't a connection for mp3 players. I didn't even think to ask. My wife's Prius has one and my Chevy truck had one. Any thoughts there? I would be nice to utilize the Pandora and other apps on my Android phone. Gas mileage is a work in progress. Granted I am only on my first tank but I am at around 24.5. That is with a lot of highway driving.

Hello everyone. I wanted to say thanks for the helpful tips here. I am picking up a 2008 RX400h tomorrow morning. I am trading my 2007 Chevrolet 2500 Z71 Crew Cab diesel. We had a travel trailer and decided that the camper wasn't worth it anymore so we then didn't need the truck anymore. Anyways, I am pretty pumped up. My soon to be 400h has 49,700 miles on it. It comes with the 3 yr/100,000 warranty. It has the navigation package. I negotiated the IPOD interface into the deal. I am excited to have the increased gas mileage, excited to be able to not have to drive to the top of parking ramps to park, and excited to be able to hook up my little trailer if I need to run to Home Depot to pick up a few sheets of plywood or haul my atv around. I have had a truck for over 10 years so it is a little scary thinking about not having it. I have plenty of friends that have trucks if I need to borrow one though. Here is a picture of my vehicle: Your posts on this site were very helpful in deciding to go with the Lexus. Everyone here should get a cut of the commission for the sale.
