My white 2025 LX700h (1 Viewer)

[Docyota]

Finally had a 22mpg trip. Drove the kids down to jiu Jitsu at 75mph, got 19.9. Drove back at 70, got the 22.2. Also took the roof top tent off this morning since I've got a 1200 mile road trip this weekend for a funeral.

~5000 total mileage

So my sunglasses were rattling a bit in the overhead holder. Found some random sticky felt from an earlier project, cut to the right size and voila! No more rattling.

You'll note that there is already felt on the part of the holder that is on the bottom when it's closed, but the "lip" that they fit into is where the occasional rattle against hard (and surprisingly resonant) plastic occurred.

See...this is the type of thing that scares me going from a 200 to the 300. In the 200, the sunglasses holder is internally lined with a decent rubber that makes it quiet as a mouse once a sunglass is stored there. Now in the 300 we get only a plasticky interior with no internal lining? Couple that with losing the double visors and I almost panic.

It's a non-issue; there is a felt liner.

My particular sunglasses have been completely quiet, even off-road. The interior in the LX is less plastic-y than my 200s.

yeah, not a major issue. There is a partial felt liner, my particular ray bans jingled a bit.


There is no disput that the 200 series is an outstanding vehicle. I'd probably be driving one if a nice, low mileage one cost a reasonable amount of money.

But this one costs $130k. My new, faster, quieter, and more comfortable lx700h with lockers x3, AHC, and real life gas mileage gains of 3-5 mpg costs less.

Got it. You would have to be pretty crazy to buy anything from these guys at RMR. They are clearly cornering the LC market and charging stupid prices. With patience and some grinding you can still find low mile 200s with 30k to 50k miles for decent prices on the $80k to $90k range in case of HEs. I however agree it will still be a 5- to 6-year-old vehicle, out of warranty gas guzzler and those prices are pushing too close to an OT. That is the main reason I am contemplating the trade. That and the 3xlockers flex of course.

$90k!!! That's crazy for a 5 year old vehicle with expected mileage. Again, that's why I bought my original LX600, $89,600 in 2022, just a couple grand more.

Well, these prices are for the HEs, which command a premium because of limited production. Myself in particular would prefer a 200HE low mileage in comparison to a base brand new LX600 back in 2022, because those were first year models and I only buy from third year on, when most kinks should be sorted out. That said, a base 200 with that mileage is more like to be on the $70ks today.
