Q: Lexus RX350?
does the 2008 Lexus RX350 have 3rd row seating?

A: Not yet. There were some rumors that the RX400 hybrid is coming out with third row seating but I have yet to see any proof.

Q: Is the mirror on the passenger side same in Lexus rx330 and rx350?
Also how do you replace the passenger side mirror in Lexus rx350. How do you remove the spots on the car's paint caused by the liquid dripping from the broken mirror. Thanks

A: the rx 350 is a carry over of the rx 330 with tweaked engine specs, so yes, the mirrors are unchanged. take it to a certified body repair shop you can trust, or show it to a lexus dealer and see what they recommend. the repair shouldnt cost much and the excess liquid from the mirror leak may have been something else (mirrors are auto-dimming "electroluminiscent"/heated types?), but they can take care of that, too.

Q: Does the Lexus RX350 have everything they said on the web included and everything is added to 37.4k?
Does the Lexus RX350 that is 37.4k include the entertainment system and all that with it or is it extra?

A: I believe it's extra. On their website, go to the RX section and select "vehicle information". Then on the left menu select "pricing and options". It shows you how much each add on is in addition to the base price of 37k.

Q: Why should I buy a Lexus RX350 vs loaded Nissan Murano?
It seems I can get similar features on these two cars, but the Lexus is more expensive. Is buying a Lexus worth it? Am I just paying for the name, or are their cars and their service just that much better.

A: There are many reasons to pick the Lexus over the Nissan. The dealer experience, the reliability, the luxury and the re-sale value. Most important though is how it feels to YOU when you drive it . Take LONG test drives in each (20 miles or more) in mixed driving. Take them into an empty parking lot and try high speed transitions. If one makes you feel better behind the wheel then the other, buy it.

Q: How much does a 2008 lexus rx350 cost? How much does a 2008 lexus es cost?
Now I'm hoping for an answer that includes taxes and everything else in between. My dad has excellent credit and he makes about 40,000 a year, and I have little credit and I make about 40,000 a year also. I'm also just talking about the cars with the base models with the least options. Oh yea, I live in the central valley of california (dont know if that matters or not). thanks a lot!

A: The base MSRP for a 2008 RX 350 is $37,400, but you have to remember that packages and options can raise that by a considerable amount. The base MSRP for a 2008 ES 350 is $33,720. Once again, take into consideration how much the packages and options are.

Q: Has anyone test driven the new 2010 Lexus RX350?
I would like to get an SUV, but don't necessarily want to drive a vehicle that gets 15MPG, so I'm considering a Lexus RX350. They were just redesigned for the 2010 model year and apparently have a completely different ride. Has anyone gotten a chance to drive/purchase one and if so, how is it?

A: No but my dad has a 2006 RX and it's a great car. It's very reliable too. The 2010 is only improved so I would say it's a great choice.

Q: Approximate cost of fixing and painting left fender of lexus rx350?
A car hit the fender on the left side and me and my friend tried to even it out with a hammer.. the problem is, the dent was also around the line of the car. In the lines, I can notice 3 lumps sticking outwards which I cant fix of the size of penny.. So now I decided to take it to the auto shop for them to fix it and re paint it as well.. How much should I be expecting it to cost?

A: You took it to an auto shop and didn't ask them for an estimate? Next time, call several shops and get an idea of who offers the lowest price without seeming too shady.

Q: I am debating between the Lexus RX350 and RX400h. The hyrbid is at least $4k more. Is it worth it?
I want to help the environment but am concerned that the help does not warrant the difference in price--ie that the it really isnt all that much better for the environment to be worth the extra price tag. It gets only 7 mpg better in city (26 v. 19 mpg) . Are the emissions that much less?

A: The rx 400h is a SULEV vs the rx 350 being a ULEV. In order to break even you have to drive 98,000 miles on your RX 400h. This is good for people who will purchase their cars vs people who lease.

Q: Buying a 08 Lexus RX350 fully loaded, what colours would you recomend for the interior and exterior?


A: I agree black on black looks the best when clean, but hard to keep clean. Blacks shows dirt and dust more than other colors do. I would still go black on black and keep it clean!

Q: What is better--BMW X3, Lexus RX350, or Infiniti FX45?
Wife is having a baby so want to get crossover SUV, but would like car to be fun to drive if possible (my current car is BMW Z4.) Also considering BMW X5 and Porsche Cayenne. Not sure worth the extra money though for these.

A: for your family needs, the lexus, infiniti or x5 will be the most suitable as they were made to carry five in comfort. if you already drive bmw, why not get another unless that is what you try to avoid. the x3 is too small for any family in my opinion, porsche is way overpriced, and infiniti rides stiffly. rx 350 is not as quiet as previous rx 330, but is still very popular amongst American families, as is the acura mdx.

Q: how much does it cost to paint a lexus rx350 front bumper? and can any auto shop do it?


A: i don't know the cost...but be careful. don't go to just anybody, and don't take the cheapest route just because it's the cheapest. a mismatched paint job is a horrible thing.

Q: Any best comparisons between 2008 Lexus RX350 or Infinity FX35?
I feel very difficult to choose between these two SUVs.

A: The 2008 RX 350 is a 4-door, 5-passenger luxury sport-utility, available in two trims, the FWD and the AWD. Upon introduction, the FWD is equipped with a standard 3.5-liter, V6, 270-horsepower engine that achieves 18-mpg in the city and 23-mpg on the highway. The AWD is equipped with a standard 3.5-liter, V6, 270-horsepower engine that achieves 17-mpg in the city and 22-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard on both trims. The 2008 FX35 is a 4-door, 5-passenger luxury sport-utility, available in two trims, the 2WD and the AWD. Upon introduction, both trims are equipped with a standard 3.5-liter, V6, 275-horsepower engine. A 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard. Personally, i would choose the Infiniti FX35 because it has more horsepower and its looks better than the Lexus RX350.
