The question was posed to find out how nearby you lived so the next time we are in memphis maybe I could buy you a drink?
Next time for sure will be the Blues Ball September 28th this year. Our 911 arrives at POE on the East coast sometime this summer and we plan to drive it through but don't yet know the "boat" schedule.
don't know if i can make it over to memphis for a drink (SHE WHO KNOWS AND MUST BE OBEYED might frown), but that is a kind offer indeed!! keep me apprised, however; stranger things have happened.
malhokc, you're most welcome, and keep me informed....this is indeed a puzzle (parker has a new guy in the service dept who has never worked at lexus and, as i pondered this morning, i wondered if you might have talked with him).....robin certainly knows better
thx
Thanks again for the info. I will follow up again with both of these dealersships.
Drivin,
I did post the link earler, but I'll posted it again.

You may have to cut, past, and view. I'm still having diffuculty posting it. I'll figure it out one of these day.
Mail me for further assistance.

None of these items are safety issues, ie, the suspension won't fall off, but in the front you'll get steering imprecision and presumably tire wear problems if continued long enough; rears just make noises, lose ride comfort and, again, chew on the tires a bit.
I had a Lexus Tech to drive with me. It only takes them about 1 day to find out the problem and repaired it. It was windshield motor hiting the front stablizing bar. I have never heard the noise since. Now I have about 32000 miles.
been getting this annoying vibration form the
inside center passenger door panel. It seems to
get worse when the radio is on. I have had to set
the bass on the radio all the way down. Also
during certain speeds without radio on, the panel
will start to make the rattle/vibration.
Service at Lexus San Diego claims 1 in 10 Rx300
have this problem and very matter of fact told
me there is nothing they can do.
Anybody have similar problem?
And if Lexus quality is sooo bad, why does the Company, Vehicle, anf the exact factory it is manufactured in, win industry recognized quality awards, year after year.
Hmmm, I wonder which Company took the 3 out of the top 5 spots in the 2001 JD Power Initial Quality Award? Lexus.
Hmmm, I wonder which was the top SUV and #5 overall? RX300.
Hmm, I wonder what place the Hyundai Santa Fe came in? It came in #177 and significantly below the industry average.
Hey GT, how's that Limited Edition Nordic White Santa Fe coming along? Was that "secret connection" at the Port Authority able to help you?
What's the matter? Your Santa Fe friends won't play with you so you came here to make yourself feel important?
what a funny guy!!!!
Yet there is one annoying detail. Only at high speed (70 mph), the steering wheel is vibrating. I took it back to Costco and they rebalanced the tires and rotated them. Despite this, the problem has persisted and the techs at Costco are clueless as to what the cause might be. The funny thing is that it only occurs intermittently. I don't know if it's a balance, alignment, rim, and/or defective tire problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Next, look at the wheels and lug nuts. Believe it or not, they could have left a nut off. It happen recently to another Town Hall member that had a similar problem. Also, if the torqued (tightened) the nuts with uneven force this can cause warpage around the wheel axel-hub area.
At this point if it isn't solved, you have an alignment problem. Could have happen on its own, could have been caused by the tire guys. You need to visit your Lexus dealer or a reputable alignment shop in your area.
Good luck.
a offer from dealer in Dallas Texas is $34,000.00
for 2001 RX300 2WD Lexus
Included Equipment: 6-CD Changer, Moonroof, PM Pkg., Traction Control (Standard Option for '01), Wood/Leather Steering Wheel Column, Cargo Mat , Roof Rack, Wheel Locks.
Do you think this is a good offer?????
Thank You.
With the Premium Package Plus, rear spoiler, cargo net, cargo mat, and wheel locks, the invoice comes out to $35,009. The carsdirect.com price is $34,959. Has anyone gotten better deals from other dealers?
Thanks,
Vicky
Actually the basic warranty on my 1999 RX which is 4YR/50K has about two years and 25K miles to go!
I hope Automotive Product Consultants/National Vehicle Headquarters, whoever they are; culled this information from public access DMV registration listings. Certainly Lexus wouldn't sell owner names and address to a third party to solicit this type of extended warranty coverage - or would they?
Pete
anyway, i got the *non ss* rx with Prem Plus, HID and heated seats (plus wheel locks) for 35.4k plus tax title license fee. Not that it makes a huge difference, but what do people think of this price? there was a trade-in involved here where i'm sure the dealer made money.
thanks, and btw, i haven't been able to stay away from my lexus for too long - it is just an absolute joy!

Enjoy the miles.
Do you mind sharing the details of your trade-in deal ??? you can e-mail me if you like dprosa@hotmail.com thanks. I have been thinking of trading in but the dealers I went to are too high.

Here is the best deal I could find, and I looked hard.
$36,400 for Black SilverSport AWD with all options except nav. (add 2300 for nav). Both cars in stock at Ray catena, Oakhurst, NJ.(Black=no nav, Silver=nav)
-500 for Lexus coupon = $35,900.
Subtract $29,000 for my trade. Add tax, tags, and doc fee.
I ended up doing the deal with a dealer closer to home. His price was 500+ more, but he had a Silver SilverSport in stock and I drove away 2 hours later.
The SilverSport rides about the same as my 2000 but handles much better and I expect it to hold value a little better than the standard RX due to the limited availability.
I found a good rule of thumb for determining your RX trade in value is to use Kelly Blue Book website but select good condition for your car instead of excellent, even though it is in excellent condition. The only way a dealer will pay the excellent condition $ is if they jack up the price on the new one.
I decided against nav not only due to the price, but the fact that the display becomes cluttered and hard to use with nav. I looked at this a long time because I really wanted nav. There are some previous posts on this site from users who went from no nav to nav to back up this observation.

Looked a bit sharper that way I thought.
And that IS a DIY job!
But it's a really good splash shield.
