My old SUV just bit the dust and I need a replacement like yesterday because I have to drive the kids to my parents place in Austin next Friday. I'm torn between a 2017 RX with 80k miles for $28k at a local lot and a 2019 with 60k miles on Carvana for $34k which is really pushing my $30k budget.
The local one is cheaper but the Carvana one looks way cleaner and I'm stressed about time. Is the newer year worth the extra debt or am I just panicking? Where are you guys actually finding the best RX deals right now because these prices are all over the place...
> Is the newer year worth the extra debt or am I just panicking? Honestly, dont let the panic drive you into overpaying! I absolutely love the Lexus RX 350 2016-2022 Generation because they are basically bulletproof, but 34k is pushing it. You are basically paying a premium for Carvana convenience. The 2017 is fantastic and looks almost identical anyway. Here is how I find the best deals:
To add to the point above: carvana prices are always gonna be higher because youre basically paying a convenience tax for that delivery. Since you are in a rush for the Austin trip, its super tempting to just click buy and be done with it, but that 6k difference is a lot of money to set on fire just to avoid a little stress. Definitely watch out for these traps with that local 2017 deal:
