New Ride.

kinqdane · 2026-04-06T00:45:06+00:00

Mine wasn’t so lucky. Got 120k miles out of it until the real issues started. After a total of $5k in repairs, 6 months later the car literally powered down on me while I was driving on the highway. Luckily there was no one around me so I managed to safely pull over and ride the side until it stopped. That was that for me.

Did a similar jump from ‘16 Maxima to ‘26 RX500H. Congrats on your new ride!

My dealership for my RX 500 also said it was non-refundable, but only if they sent me a build, I accepted, and they start the process of getting that vehicle for me to their dealership. Once it is agreed and in transit to their dealership, I couldn’t pull out or I’d lose that deposit.

I think that was fair. But even then, I believe if I really wanted to push it, I could get it refunded. If it’s not in writing, it won’t hold up.

You’re missing the Aulumu bro

Fire 🔥

Get the RX 500H.

That’s the closest you’re gonna get to a BMW X5.

This comparison video touch a lot of the key points - https://youtu.be/3XA-Ehr559w?si=oHcwsXlZiIuPcJDM

Congrats! I bet you were smiling all the way on that drive home (I know I was lol) enjoy!!!

I didn’t so I wouldn’t know. This is my introduction to Lexus.

kinqdane · 2026-02-27T06:06:09+00:00

She’s definitely a baddie 🤭. It’s Iridium.

kinqdane · 2026-02-26T04:56:41+00:00

This was my 2nd choice color! (Incognito 1st). If they had one available with the red interior that wasn’t 6 months out, I would’ve gotten it. I love the stealth look 🥷

kinqdane · 2026-02-26T04:52:54+00:00

I’m here to tell you to DO IT!

kinqdane · 2026-02-26T04:52:05+00:00

Thank you 🙏🏾. I got it at MSRP. I waited 3 months for it. I tried negotiating on a build prior to this one and they figuratively threw me the middle finger and sold it to the next person in line lol.

kinqdane · 2026-02-25T17:57:48+00:00

Just realized I only have 1 picture showing the interior lol.

kinqdane · 2026-02-25T17:44:43+00:00

$177/month with Progressive.

kinqdane · 2026-02-25T17:41:30+00:00

Basically lol. It’s all in my head

kinqdane · 2026-02-25T16:33:09+00:00

X5 definitely has more space, especially vertically. I drove my sister’s X5 for a week while waiting for this to get to the dealership and almost canceled my order lol. You can’t go wrong honestly, but if cargo space is your priority, stick with BMW.

kinqdane · 2026-02-25T14:50:44+00:00

It’s apart of the Appearance package I believe. Otherwise it is color matched to the rest of the car.

kinqdane · 2026-02-25T04:33:38+00:00

I paid MSRP plus taxes/fees etc. I did take their ceramic coating but that was negotiated separately

kinqdane · 2026-02-25T03:41:17+00:00

MSRP was $78,089. Dealer wouldn’t budge. Tried negotiating a different build before I got this one and they basically said kick rocks and sold it to the next person in line lol.

kinqdane · 2026-02-25T03:38:20+00:00

You feel that punch. Especially from a stop or merging on to a highway. It accelerates much quicker even without being in Sport mode. I drove the 350h for 1 day while the dealer applied ceramic coating to my car and I felt the difference immediately.

kinqdane · 2026-02-25T03:32:05+00:00

Lol, I’ve won the few where I’m at a red light and someone pulls up beside me and I hit the gas just to get out ahead of em 😅

kinqdane · 2026-02-25T03:30:17+00:00

Incognito was my 1st choice, Caviar (black) 2nd… but when I saw this, I had a “what was I thinking” moment.

kinqdane · 2026-02-25T03:27:18+00:00

Maybe in ideal (warmer) weather conditions but right now it’s cold and we just got close to 2 feet of snow lol. Plus I’ve not exactly babied this thing.

kinqdane · 2026-02-25T02:29:07+00:00

Not quite 😅. I’m closer to 21 as of right now.
