You are in the Lexus RX 300/330/350 Forum. Your Hosts are steve_ & tidester
Bought the new RX in June and after 1 month and 1k miles noticed air conditioning and driver side windows wouldn't function. Problem was a rat decided in make it's home in the dash and chewed up wiring and even took a bite out of the leather around the steering wheel. The rat was still in the car when I returned it to the dealer for repair. The vehicle was so new that Lexus didn't have the replacement parts readily available. After over 2 weeks I finally got the vehicle back today fully restored along with a repair bill of $9,388 of which $3,600 was for labor. Total cost was about 20% of what I paid for the vehicle new. Good news was that I was out only the $500. deductible. Bottom line - great car but dealer repairs are expensive.

Just purchased 2010 RX350, new car book recommends 91 octane. Does lower octaine work well?

Has anyone had after market backup sensors installed on 2010 RX350? I have the backup camera but like sensors better. Any installers in Tampa, Fl? |

Replying to: wrahn (Aug 12, 2009 9:19 am) One comment about OP's question. I am always amazed when people spend north of $40k to buy a luxury vehicle, and then balk at filling it with premium fuel. We are talking about $3 difference per fill-up here, or around $200 more per year if your annual mileage is 12,000. I am not an engineer, but I am sure the manufacturer did not recommend the premium fuel just for the heck of it. The benefits are likely to include smoother/quieter engine, better performance, and maybe even better MPG. To me, these definitely worth the $200 per year cost. Each to his own. |

I went through the Costco auto buying program and got a price of $1,250 over dealer invoice which worked out to about $40,300 plus T&L for an RX 350 AWD with premium package but no Nav and no 19" wheels at Putnam Lexus in the Bay Area. Lease rates worked out to 5 1/2% financing. Question, are the 19" wheels that much better than the standard 18" wheels?
