What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Lexus RX

Price of the Lexus RX: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2004 4dr SUV 230-horsepower 3.3L V6
5-speed automatic FWD		 Best value luxury brand SUV bar none.
Price of the Lexus RX: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 Hybrid
6-speed shiftable CVT AWD		 The price is very high if compared to a Mazda CX-9, with similar features, similar performances and similar (i guess) reliability
2009 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 more than $12000 more than the Murano with all the same bells and whistles
2008 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 Overpriced
2008 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 all of the above come with a price tag, which, over the long term, balance out with hopefully lower maintenance and operating costs
2006 4dr SUV 208-horsepower 3.3L V6 Hybrid
CVT AWD		 This can be an expensive car. I would never buy one new and while I think there is value for money, I have issues with spending 55k on a car. I bought mine used on Ebay for a great price including shipping and have a friend who has done the same.

5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Yes, I did until they gave $4K incentive right now
2008 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Good value for a mid-sized luxury SUV
Price of the Acura MDX: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 A similarly equipped Mazda CX-9 was $4,500 less.
2008 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 They should make leases more affordable.
2007 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Given current resale values I think the original pricing was too high.
2007 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Expensive
2007 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Higher than FX
2006 4dr SUV 253-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 Cost more than a car, but less than most SUVs.
2006 4dr SUV 253-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 Can get expensive, but still a good value in the field.
2004 4dr SUV 265-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 Comparatively speaking, the incentive from BMW (less $6000) was what did it for me. Acura could not match it.
2003 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 Price is too high.
