remote start on 2010 rx. by tyler70

can anyone answer this for me.?
I saw on one of the RX review that when you "remote start" this vehicle, the engine will turn off when you open the door. is this true? my second question if if anyone has seen the the intuitive park assist comes as a "stand alone" feature or it only comes in a package. On Edmunds I see it comes as a "stand alone" feature, but then I went to the dealer, they said currently it only comes in with a package. I have been watching the prices on this veh and dont see the prices go down much. I am not in a rush to buy one, but I like to get it by the end of the month. any suggestion when the best time to buy this veh ? thanks

Yes that is true for the remote starter. Once you touch the door handle the car engine will turn off. That is a safety feature built in. I have another car that has a remote starter and that turns off as soon as you touch either the brake or the gas pedal.
About the park assist, I think you should be able to get it as a standalone feature, but dont quote me on it. I had spoken to a dealer and he had told me that with the 2010 RX you can pretty much buy any feature individually unlike the older versions.
And I think buying towards the end of teh month always helps. Because the dealers are eager to meet their targets and generally will honor a decent offer.

What is the reason to have a remote start? Why would I want the car to start if I'm not in it?
 
Anyone have RX sales figures for for April and May?

In cold weather areas, people like to start the car before getting into it so the vehicle will not be ice cold when first starting out on a trip.

Buying out a lease? by sxylxy

The lease on my RX 350 w/Mark Levinson & NAV is 6 weeks away from ending. Any thoughts on my 3 options:
 
1. Avoid paying the registration & all four new brakes by turning it in.
2. Pay the $26K residual, $430 for the brakes, $480 for the registration, $1K to get it "Certified" and hope that there aren't any additional charges during the certification, plus $2,300 Calif. tax.
3. Sell it to a third party and have them pay the tax...pocket the difference.
 
Anyone else face this choice? What did you choose?

What year and mileage for your car?
 
As far as option #3. Most leasing banks won't allow you to sell the car to a third party, and avoid the tax, unless it's a car dealer. Also, the chance of your car being worth more than the residual is slim.

Well.. first... you have to decide if the car is worth buying out.. Then, assuming it is, do you still want to drive it for at least three more years?
 
You can get a good idea of it's current wholesale value, here:

Good luck!
