Well I decided since we’re closing on our house next week that its a good time to get my wife a new truck. So I got her a 2008 Lexus RX350 AWD. Navigation, backup camera, XM radio, HID’s that move side to side when you turn. All that nonsense. My aunt paid cash for a '07 Lexus LS460 so it was pretty easy for me to negotiate a GREAT price on this truck because they didn’t want to lose her business. Heres some pics, enjoy -Tom ![http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e325/Boomin99GT/Lex2.jpg](http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e325/Boomin99GT/Lex2.jpg) ![http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e325/Boomin99GT/lex.jpg](http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e325/Boomin99GT/lex.jpg) ---

Very nice ride. My neighbor was seriously considering one but ended up getting an LX 470. [quote=“Bigronsaudi,post:14,topic:28938"”] its a 400H My grandpa has one.

[/quote] So basically you’re paying more for something that isn’t really gaining you anything in monthly operating costs, and you’re taking a chance that in 5-8 years it will be worthless when the hybrid battery is out of warranty and needs replacing. :tup: to hybrids. :bloated: ---
