jamesm182, You're right. We test drove a re-conditioned service loaner '15 today, with 19,000 miles, and then drove a 2016. Night and day difference. My wife is now a Lexus owner! She loves it. The technology is overwhelming. I kept your comment in the back of my mind today. Sure, we could have saved some money buying used, but we keep vehicles forever, so we are happy. Bill

Thanks, both of you, for your inputs. We think these are in demand in the area, and the dealer can probably get away with some overcharging. As far as the 2016, neither one of us cared for the grille re-design. Plus there's a lot going on with the instrument cluster, it's like being in a F-18. Great car, but those little things. Maybe another look. The buying service would only help for the 2016...we can run numbers for the 2016 though. Thanks!

Hello. Prospective 2015 Lexus RX-350 owners here, just want to make sure we’re getting a decent deal on a CPO 2015 RX-350. We live near Virginia Beach, VA. My wife is set on a ’15 RX-350, and the dealer has a few coming from the loaner fleet. The one she’s interested in is silver, grey interior, DVD/NAV, comfort & premium pkg, remote start, HID headlights, loaded. We test drove a different ’15 last Saturday and are happy with the model, over the ’14. This one has 19,000 miles, and they’re cleaning it up for us to see on Saturday. Dealer is asking $43,680 before taxes, etc. It seems high by about $800 on some sites, and in comparison to dealers in Richmond. We have yet to see it, but of course if it has problems, we walk away. Is this a decent deal, or should we negotiate? I’ve read that dealers don’t have much margin on these service loaners. It is CPO, and the warranty goes to Oct 2020. Thanks. Bill
