I am 31 and my wife is 29 and we don't have kids. She has the sports car (G35) and I have the SUV. We find that its best to have one of each to fill what your requirements for that day are. I have had an RX since '02.

I am using www.imagecabin.com to host those images. Another really good hosting site and very fast!

True, but you are very limited by space. How about this, if anyone is interested take a look at my photo gallery here:

My Thundercloud

Enjoy!

P.S. I will be posting more to that location this weekend once I get my tint and amp/sub install completed.

Well, I finally took delivery on my Flint Mica Thundercloud. You can check out the "other" lexus forums if you wanna see more pictures of my car since I can only post one picture at a time here.

Yep, for a few hundred dollers the black wood trim and the ability to get all the options I wanted without buying a rear dvd made it an easy decision for me.

Er, the Thundercloud wheels are not plastic...

Its also the only edition with black wood accents and are able to get the ML without the rear DVD system.

Check out this thread.

Its a good idea to check it out as it costs you nothing. But, as an FYI, the last list I looked at from my dealer had RX330s excluded from their list because they were selling so well and could not hold on to any. I am expecting to take delivery on my new TC in the next few days.

Do like I did, negotiate a deal and check yourself againsnt the Costco price list, the fleet manager should have the last few months of the price list available for you to check out if he is cool, even if he can't give you a current discount based on that list due to availability.

Actually 46,363.00 MSRP to be exact. My negotiated price was 42, 590, which from what I am told is $500 under Costco quote.

My deal was 42.6k + TTL AWD with every option you can get except rear dvd. MSRP was well over 46k.

Well, I spoke with my salesman this morning. Seems that I had negotiated a deal that was $500 LESS than the Costco price. So, yes it will give you a good price, but obviously you can still negotiate.

My price was 42.6k with Thundercloud/ML/NAV/Tow/H.Seats/AccPkg

So there ya go.

Wow, that Costco referral was a great idea. Turns out that the Costco contact for my dealership is the salesman I have been working with.

At this point my only worry is if they will actually honor that price since I have already put a down payment on one that is still in transit.

What do you guys think?

Well, I am paying $42.500 without TTL for my 05 with Nav and ML audio.

I feel like I am overpaying a bit, but its the vehicle I want.

What do you think.

Not sure what your really talking about about not having the options. I just put a deposit on a 2005 rx330 that has navigation, keyless entry, and bluetooth.

Im trying to find out if there are any preamp outputs to make my install clean. I would really hate to splice in and mess with the DSP.

Anyone have any info?
