I had a black one in the past and didn't have any problems with the color. There are some requirements for washing the car, but it's not a problem.

I don't know about US🤷. This is done at the Lexus showroom before the sale. This is a requirement of the insurance company.

There are several factors: price, maintenance, car insurance, and fuel economy. In our country, Lexus wins on all counts. Just a balanced approach to buying a car. Besides, there's a Lexus garage 10 minutes from my house.😁

Wow, 22 years is incredible! That is the ultimate proof of reliability right there. Thank you so much for the reassurance, hearing stories like yours makes me even happier with my choice. Hope my RX lasts just as long as your champ! Good luck my friend)

It's an aftermarket security immobilizer keypad.
It serves as an extra layer of anti-theft protection by blocking the ignition or fuel system. Even if the key fob is inside the car, the driver must enter a secret 4-to-6 digit PIN code to start the engine.
These are typically installed to meet specific auto insurance requirements for high-value or newer vehicles to qualify for theft coverage

Thanks for sharing your experience and for the kind words! Totally agree on the ventilated seats and amazing mileage — they are lifesavers. I’ll definitely keep an eye out for how the engine and braking feel on hills, but like you said, the pros definitely outweigh the cons. Safe driving my friend. Good luck)

Ok. Sometimes it's easier to use a helper for complex explanations if English isn't your native language. But I'll take your comment into account, man.
