Im honestly fed up with these local Dallas dealerships adding five grand in fees. My logic was to try Carvana but their inventory is so picked over and I need an RX under 30k by next week. Where is the actual best spot to find one that isnt a total ripoff...?

Regarding what #1 said about checking private, try small boutique lots since overhead is lower. Be careful tho:
- verify title status
- check history A Lexus RX 350 AWD is solid if vetted.

Basically, you might want to consider checking private listings on Autotrader to dodge those Dallas fees. Just be careful and make sure to do your homework because some listings can be sketchy.
- always get a ppi before paying
- verify the title is clean
- don't skip checking maintenance history online I managed to snag a Lexus RX 350 2017 AWD under budget by doing this, so it definitely works if you're fast... you got this!

I totally agree about skipping those big dealerships! Those Dallas fees are just insane right now. Honestly you should check out the classifieds on ClubLexus or even some specific Lexus enthusiast groups on Facebook. People there usually take amazing care of their cars and love them so much! Its a fantastic way to find a one-owner car with a full service history without the dealer markup. Just make sure you grab the VIN and check the maintenance records on the Lexus Drivers website. It is seriously a lifesaver to see every single oil change and repair ever done at a dealer... gives you so much peace of mind! You definitely want that paper trail when you're dropping thirty grand.
