I finally saw the Brandywine in person, too. I agree it doesn't look much like that pic - at least in sunlight. In sun it looks much more Brandy than Wine. More of a rust color actually. Not bad - different and kind of cool, but more orange than red. My guess is that in shade it looks redder. I'd give my eye teeth to be able to order one of these in the Nobel Spinel Mica of the LS. If you've never seen that one in person, it's really fit for royalty. 'Course, I could always buy an LS...

Dealer Demo RX 450? by tballer

Is there such a thing as a RX450 hybrid?
 
I think it is really the RX400H. My fatehr-in-law received a quote for a dealer demo, 5,000 miles, fully loaded RX hybrid for $53,186.
 
I have no idea if this is a good price, can anyone help?

No. They are selling new for around 48K, check out the RX400H forum prices.

The price is probably WAY TOO much. See this link where folks are buying them new for $45k loaded. Why buy used unless you save at least $5k under new invoice.

Clean Fuel License Tags by erc66

Does anyone know if the 2007 RX400h qualifies for the Clean Fuel License Tags in Virginia? The DMV sites says that the 2006 model does, but it's not listed. Also, there is an expiration date of June 30, 2008 for the HOV lanes. Does, that mean no hybrid can use the HOV lanes if only one person is in the car, or does it mean, you have to buy a hybrid by June 30, 2008 to use the HOV lanes? I'm trying to decide whether to buy a RX400h or the 350 model - so any input on the HOV issue is great! Thanks!

It looks like they stopped issuing hybrid HOV permits 7/1/06. Unless they have changed the law again.
 
To take advantage of the HOV-use extension, you must purchase a hybrid and apply for a Clean Special Fuel license plate before July 1. These plates will cost the hybrid owner an extra $25.
 
Those purchasing a hybrid after the July 1 deadline would be issued a distinctively different Clean Special Fuel plate and would not be permitted to use the HOV lanes during restricted hours unless they have two or more passengers.
 
That is a big change, so make sure you pay attention to those dates if you were thinking about buying a hybrid.

Are you saying that you had to purchase a hybrid by July 1 of last year (2006) or this year in order to take advantage of the extension?
 
And, because July 1 has already passed (no matter which year), I guess it doesn't make any sense to get a hybrid if I was planning to take advantage of the HOV lanes. And, why go through all the bother to get the Clean Fuel plate if you have to have 2 people in the car - just like everyone else?
 
Anyway, I was confused in looking at the Virginia DMV site because they clearly list the 2006 RX400h, and also include other 2007 and now, 2008 models. So, I was wondering what happened to the 2007 RXH400h model?!!

I would call the DMV to make sure one way or the other. If it is like CA DMV you are lucky to find anyone that knows anything.

Colors for 2008 RX400h? by erc66

Does anyone know what the color choices are for the 2008 model ? They're getting rid of the Neptune Blue, so I'm wondering what they're replacing it with and/or if any other colors are changing?

Battery Does Not Fully Charge? by supcomm

The battery indicator show only 6 bars out of the 8 total as being charged. No matter how long I drive, I cant get the last 2 bars to show charged. Anyone know why this is or has this problem? Should I take it back to the dealer? Thanks.
