For $77K: I’d tell the dealership to “Go To Hell, keep that car and keep paying the “Note” on it every month until they lower the price to a realistic level or else …Go Bankrupt”! Don’t pay these rip-off prices!
I bought my first new car in 1965. It was Falcon Futura 4 door. It had a 6 cylinder engine and an automatic transmission. It cost $2400.00. Yes, that is right. It was not $77,000.00. Gasoline was 25 cents a gallon. One guy filled your gas tank, one guy checked your tire pressure, one guy washed your windows, and one guy checked your water and oil. You got free dishes for filling the tank. They had free maps, pencils, pens, and pins.

I own a 2022 RX450h FSport. It is the last version with a V6 hybrid combo, and it’s the version before this one. They are remarkably similar and the main difference is the plug in part. I get about 30 mpg, 308 hp, and around 500 miles range. It handles like a dream, in the Sports mode, very few cars can beat me, and I have more power than I ever need. It has been 100% reliable, and too bad they did away with the V6 in the next gen RX’s, I’m hanging onto my RX as long as I can. Great videos Scotty, and I enjoy them.🎉

Shows us a Lexus that is the Lexus version of the Rav4 prime. Same car for 77k instead of 43k. The Rav4 gets 45 miles on electric charge and averages 40mpg in hybrid mode. Scotty needs to do more research on Toyota's modern line-up.

To be honest, that is insane how much the price has gone up. I think you could’ve gotten a 2022 Lexus rx 450h for way less!!! I’m not sure if that’s also worth the $77k. You could’ve gotten a nice fully equipped old school gx for that much. But the new ones are even way more than this. You can also get a not bad one for that much too.
I love the new RX. The grille especially is the best design moves ever by Lexus because the old grille design was pretty hideous.
I have a 2024 RX 350h. It was $10,000 less than the plug in hybrid. I get 34-36 MPG combined. It’s a great SUV!

I've driven one of these (RX350) when I was buying my NX. The ride is extremely smooth, if my garage was wider I'd have definitely bought it over the NX.
Hoooooo Scotty with the Bruins burn 🔥 Hockey is awesome!
I drove both the gas version and the hybrid. The hybrid, in my opinion, had so much road noise as to be uncomfortable - I bought the gasoline version. HOWEVER, buyer beware! At certain speeds and with the right air density, the model line emits a low frequency hum that is noticeable and annoying. The service dept. kept the vehicle for four days, drove all of the other same type vehicles on the lot and concluded it is a model issue - they pushed it up to the Lexus engineers (obviously it is an aerodynamic issue - when the car enters the slipstream of another vehicle the sound goes away). So far, a year later, I have not heard a word on a fix. I plan on contacting Lexus myself in June. Hope this helps.
The car prices are out of control. New and used cars.
Great video Scotty. The mass driver was probably late for polo practice and was mad at you for slowing him down.
Good info 😊
Outstanding, Scotty!
Well said Scotty! My dad was old school he taught us to never buy brand new and to let someone else to pay the depreciation. I always buy cash cars. I have a 2014 Prius hybrid I paid $5500. If I bought new I would be paying 5 times that.
I just got a 2024 Venza. It’s a Lexus for 15k less. Love it 47 mpg average!!
Plug in hybrid is the best. I have ‘21 Prius Prime and over 3+ years averaging 125 mpg. Round trip to work is 50 miles and I average 130 mpg. Will definitely always be a fan of Toyota PHEV.
Scotty, you are fantastic. God bless you.

Scotty is fun to watch!
That Lexus _does_ look tempting. However, I'm keeping my '06 TL a little longer.
It's not worth the price being sold for when nothing has been updated in any serious form in the last 15 years. Lexus has been charging insane prices for outdated things, and while I'm not arguing the reliability aspect; they need to come back down to earth when it comes to the pricing of what they're worth new.

You do need to worry about plugging in a plug in hybrid... if you are going to drive it like a normal hybrid, get a normal hybrid, it'll get better MPG and cost less than the plug in version never being plugged in.
34mpg isn't crap. In good weather our 2020 Maxima will get 32mpg with premium fuel on the interstate running 80mph. Now all things aside the cvt in our Maxima may take a crap any time but it does have low miles on it. But for $77K could put a hell of a lot of new CVT's in, and not have to complexity of a hybrid!
