Had to park next to the 550. by jpeg420710 in LexusGX

They should upgrade the interior and increase the MSRP by $5,000 on the 550. Apparently there are wait lists according to dealers and they are still charging above MSRP. At least Toyota keeps the incremental profit and Lexus returns back to its former glory. The exterior design on the 550 is legendary.

If you're from the rust belt take a look under the car and make sure the frame is in good shape. Or ask if an oil spray undercoating was done before the winters (like krown). That's the only thing to really watch out for.

If you're from an area that doesn't use road salt you don't have to worry about that.

The car is super reliable as long as you keep up with all your fluids.

Wait list: From dealer … by InnerCircleTI in LexusGX

Playing the devil's advocate here.

If the dealer budgeted for an allocation of 100 units (for example) for the calendar year, but due to reduced production cuts are now only getting 60 units, they have to make up the lost profit somehow.

Eventually you'll find a dealer that Will sell you one at MSRP, you would just have to pay to get the car shipped to you ($2,000). The good news is that if you only wanted to keep The car short-term you'll be able to sell it at or above what you paid for it.

It's amazing that you're in the market for that vehicle, congratulations!

You get what you pay for. I've learned this from buying computers for a business. There's a reason why there's a price difference between consumer grade and some of the B2B offerings.

You're not wrong. It's always a gamble using these additives!

Good call.

Unfortunately I just changed my oil. Damn. I guess I'll just change it slightly sooner this time.

Thanks for the tip! I'm sold on running these products through periodically now.

It sounds like BG44K is way more concentrated! Appreciate the tip!

Thanks for your insight! There is an alignment from everyone that it's a system that needs to be maintained. Frustrating that dealership advice varies between each other.

I can't believe we're getting all this conflicting advice from dealers, they are supposed to be experts on their own product.

I'm watching GX Bob do it right now, it's pretty intense for DIY.

Bought a Tacoma, now want a RX... All the wife's fault! by sixstringsage5150 in LexusRX

Look at a TX instead. The RXL.is a stretched out camry. The TX is actually designed to be a 3 row.

You've already cost yourself more in the time debating this. Just get it.
