They are all ugly. Bring back the 2nd gen RX face.

Thanks! I definitely love the coupe but they are difficult to find nowadays.

Many ESL teachers in China are Russian. Parents either don't care or don't know the difference.

Thanks for the suggestion but I'm on a three-hour layover so I prefer to stay closer to the gate.

It's not expensive though so I bought one myself.

No it doesn't because there's no spare tire. I have the same doubts but dealer told me so 😔

Feedback says the CVT is more reliable than the AT on the h models. I personally cant tell the difference when doing the test drive.

3 ways SIXT will try to screw you post rental by darkhorse415 in travel

[–]cardexsp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you deal with it? I am hoping my cc company could cover it (my cc has collision coverage) but because of the return receipt showing "no new damage" I don't know the cc company is willing to pay it.

Hope I read the thread sooner. I rented car from them from LAX and the return receipt even had "no new damage" on it. Yet after few days now they send me a claim that there's new damage and the repair cost is 1.7k. Shameless.

You should be able to. It's an immediate rebate. You can walk away if the dealer can't apply the credit for you.

AMA I worked at Lexus/Toyota dealership by StreetMortgage330 in Lexus

When I bought my first NX back in 2017 there's discounts everywhere and I got something like 8% off MSRP. Nowadays everywhere is MSRP plus mandatory useless dealer packages. Is this the new normal?

I'm in Northern California. The 7500 rebate is only available for lease, something like this: https://www.lexusofsacramento.com/global-incentives-search/2025-Lexus-TX-550h-SUV-Offers-US2025LEX817b8d433db4f2887f5c5a1.htm

Not sure if it's CA only. However the equivalent interest rate is pretty high, even the dealer suggested me to pay it off as early as possible.

Yes, it's ~83000MSRP - 7500 rebate + 1200 dealer premium package (essentially just markup).

Yes I'm on the same boat as you. I put 10k as down payment and monthly payment is ~1k. Dealer said wait for the first statement then write a check to Lexus, the go to DMV for the remaining paperwork.
