I am in the same boat with RX 2010. I am looking for a molding piece. Anyone has found an alternative? Mine is 29mmx10mm high. I don't want to buy their covers... it's a rip off.

Thanks

Hi guys

I got 23k on my stock tires. They are pretty worn down... plus got a damage on one of them.

I started shopping for new ones. I looked online for the same tires is around $300 each...

Is there any better tires than stock or tires that are less expensive but not worse than stock?

Do you know if Michelin will give any credit towards new ones if they come with the car?

What is your experience/advise?

Thanks

sticky pads???? tell me more!! i have the same issue. I will have to bring it up with my dealer

I have a year old. Had same problem. Still rattles... It's not really fixable. Have to take it out.

Hey guys, I have a year old 2010 RX350 and now I notice feed back from transmission way more.

If I'm on a stop, in gear, brake pedal pushed down - I can feel it through pedal, drivers door handle also vibrates, passengers door can you feel vibration through as well.

If you switch to neutral it disappears. Do you experience same type of thing?

They have overfilled my engine with oil half an inch from the top dot! I'm *BLEEP*ed, but still have not fixed it. Maybe should file a complaint because it's bad for engine.

Also do you notice drivers seatbelt holder on the wall always makes some noises on the bumps?

Thanks

in FL, I use AC rarely as it's pretty cool just having front window freeze = I get 20-22 in mixed driving now. Not a hybrid of course.

Plan on going for an initial test drive with two techs in the car. These guys won't believe you unless you "point" out the rattle for them. Been there, done that!

Tire rotation comes with this service. Make sure they actually do the work. I put a finger mark in the brake dust behind a spoke of one wheel. This way I can confirm they actually move the wheels. Caught the dealer in a lie last time around. Very embarrassing when I showed them my proof.

Thanks for heads up. Believe me or not I wanted to mark the wheels too! :) I for some reason don't trust anyone of those jacka$$ mechanics..maybe they don't pay them well or they are just lazy.

How is your RX holding up? no issues? rattles?

HHRP, your new Lexus sure have a lot of rattles, was it a Canadian built RX?

Yes Sir. It is Canadian I believe.

Hi guys, going to take my 10 RX350 for 5k service (supposed to be complementary)

Other than these are following issues I have:

-Rattles in dashboard, seems like center speaker cover and around

-Right side front bumper corner snaps out after a highway ride

-Rattle somewhere in drivers side window

-Rattle in the read somewhere...

-Increased vibration into drivers side door and steering when on idle holding brake pedal (comes up sometimes louder than usual)

-Seat belt holder on drivers side makes metal clanking noise when on bumps (but they told me first time it's by design and all do that!?

loaner did that too. wth? design for 45k? anyone else hears it?

Any recalls posted so far that I should be aware of? Any other additional info you guys want to share is always appreciated.

thanks

I just bought a 2010 RX350 for $41500. MSRP was $47253. Invoice was 42300. Includes, prem, nav, wood steering wheel, tow prep package and 19" alloy wheels.

I am in NY CT area, do you live around here? Who was your sales person, maybe I can strike a similar deal

Thanks

same config, got 41.8 car price

I just picked up a 2010 RX-350 with Navigation and virtually everything but rear DVD. Sticker was 47,300 and I received it delivered for 44K.

Wonderful vehicle by they way.

Good luck!

Got mine with VENT, NAV, PARK ASSIST, XEON, RAILS, 45.2K OTD

they have the back-up camera without nav?

I got one with NAV, yea w/o NAV you get lil cam in rear mirror.

Hi guys,

I connected my iphone to it OK. However, when I tried to connect it via BT to Audio for playing music over BT It would never connect.

Anyone has similar issue?

Thanks

Hi guys,

I got an offer for 2010 RX350 w/o nav

-premium with 19" wheels

-ventilated seats

-wood trim

-standard rearview mir backup cam

$42.300 out of the door (including tax etc)

(sticker was 42.500)

What do you think? I would think $40.000 OTD would be more reasonable.

Thanks

Does anyone know how can I find a used IS 250? I went to Yahoo Auto and MSN Auto but I am not sure they are the best websites.

try autotrader.com

I did. Will do more :)

bump

Man, it looks great! Are these rims lighter than the stock?

Great job. Especially doing it yourself. So, do you feel a difference in ride? Nothing rubs?

Hey guys,

I think I'm going to buy IS350 or maybe lease. (still gotta think..I like to change cars every 3 years)

What is that you dont really like about your IS?

How often do you have to replace tires, brakes and rotors?

Is cabin loud? I heard that it's quite.. I only drove 250 (didnt much like it..it was slow) a year ago and I think dealer had something wrong with the car cause every time I press the brakes the whole hood would shake and vibrate (nice show unit huh??)

Anyways. Any head ups would be beneficial.

If you guys recently leased IS350 how much did you pay?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for a write up SW!

I actually would like to lease it for business. However, I'm not sure about how beneficial deductions will be... I have heard that if you lease it for biz and your wife is on the car too then you can only expense out half the leasing cost. What if I pay whole lease amount cash and deduct it from my business in one year is it possible? Or you would have to split in into years? Thanks

Why would it make sense to keep a passive depreciating asset longer while it's depreciating fast?

Thanks for feed back. I don't know if there a big demand on H here. I would not want to keep it long time. Looks like cars depreciate fast and to me it's not worth keeping them for a long time. I'm just wondering what % of the retail cost they normally want to charge you on like a 3 year term.

Hey guys,

I plan on leasing RX400, want to go test drive it tomorrow.

What would you suggest me to look for? What do you think a reasonable price should be for 3 years?

Any advice is appreciated.
