Hi Maximafan,
 
I'm actually ending my lease with my 06 maxima to get the RX350.
 
Ok, the Q5 did not have push button start. They had this neat key-fob that fits into the side (not like a regular key though). I'm not sure if the Prestige S offers it, but the Premium and Premium Plus that I've seen did (or does not). The dealership in VA is willing to get a red one up here for me to see, but I'm very partial to the RX350.
 
As far as the RX350, I like the 2010 best. I prefer the layout of the Q5's interior to the RX350, but the RX350 has the nav, push button start, heatiing and cooling seats and remote engine starter that I like. Small details, but they make a difference. The Q5 has the all glass roof (panoramic, that is) that's just amazing!
 
Looked up the Venza (liked it at the autoshow), however, with all my options I was at $39K, come on ~ that's not gonna happen. I'll take my chances haggling down the Lexus folks before I spend that on a Toyota (RX350 wannabe). I too like the memory seats.

Hi,
I can appreciate the honesty of a salesperson. I'm famous for writing in letters, so if someone didn't disclose that information... I would have written a letter to the dealer.
 
I'm known for doing my research on everything I want to buy. I used my credit union's services, United Buying Service, stopping by different dealers and word of mouth. I reasearched the BMW for 2 years, until I feel in like with the Lexus. I've been doing my research with Lexus for 2 months and with the help of this forum, am well equipped to get what I want from a dealer. I can haggle with the best of them! I come with my financing in hand, so there isn't much I'm willing to give up out of my own pocket (i.e., $1,000 is my max, but it has to be the last resort).
 
BTW ~ yes, I'm a mom with three girls! This will be my first Lex.

I own an older RX and really like it, but want to trade as the newer vehicle has many options that appeal to me, and my present vehicle has about 100,000 miles on it.
 
Keep in mind when you talk about pricing many dealers add over $200 documentation fee.

Purchased a 2009 RX 350 from Sewell Lexus last month after shopping all four Lexus dealers in the Metroplex. Paid $33,500 +ttl. Options include premium package, power rear door, heated seats, pinstripe & tint.
 
Wife loves the car. thought this was a pretty good price. Inventory on these models is getting tight, I think we may have gotten the last Brandywine in DFW.

LOL! As you can see from my screename, My3grlz, I also had
a 2002 Nissan Maxima which was totalled in an accident on the last year of my lease. Thus, I ended up getting an '07 RX350.
 
I loved the power of the Maxima, but I really have enjoyed the RX
also. It has a beautful interior and all the little goodies that I like,
although I didn't get the navigation model. Although I've got my
eye on the Q5(scared of Audi reliability issues) and also am eyeing the 2010 RX, I haven't ruled out buying my '07 RX after my lease ends. I'm a bit attached to this car.

I know bmw reliability is bad, but also Audi? I haven't read much about Audi, but since you mentioned, I guess it is a risky buy.
 
Have you tested the Q5? It is nice looking, with great interior.

BMW reliability has improved lately. my 2007 328 has never had a problem in three years. I do hear not the first 3 years that are the problem!
 
Lexus has a bunch of bad transmissions on the 2007 ES which has been fixed but many new cars replaced fully by lexus corporate. Anyone can build a bad car.

I'm also coming to the end of the lease on my 2007 RX350 and considering the 2010 RX, Audi Q5 or A4 Avant, Volvo XC60, maybe even a Toyota Venza or Nissan Murano. I've had 4 Lexuses (Lexi?) since 1994 and cannot recall a single problem outside of a minor rattle in my current RX. I owned a 2001 Audi allroad that was a total nightmare of bad reliability - yet I am still considering an Audi for my next vehicle. Supposedly they have improved quality during the past few years and they do make sharp cars!

Any one have advice on which dealer in the Washington DC area is likely to give the best price on a 2010 RX 350? Lexus of Silver Spring quoted me $43,809 plus $100 processing fee plus ttl on a vehicle with a MSRP including destination of $46,543. I was thinking I could get much closer to invoice of $41,045. Any advice appreciated.
