I am a recent Lexus owner. I purchased a used 1999 ES300. It was a single owner car, and despite being 16 years old, and having 220K miles on it, was in excellent shape.

In the year that I have been driving it, it has been reliable, and surprisingly economical (for a 6 cylinder). I was getting 30 mpg highway.

My wife and I were in the market for a car, and we were looking to upgrade from our 2008 Toyota RAV-4.

My Lexus had trouble on the road, and we towed it to the nearest Lexus dealer, which happened to be MapleWood Lexus.

Great service, free loaner car (2016 ES350). Lots of gadgets and fun to drive. Apparently, it gave me "the itch" to get a new car. Hmm.

I arranged to see the RX350, so my wife and I could see how large the cargo space would be.

Sara Wienke was our sales rep and helped us look at the 2016 RX350.

It was a bit pricey for our current budget. We asked to be called if something was turned in as a used vehicle, and secondarily was a 'screaming good deal'.

A few days later, Sara called to say she had a 2015 RX350 with 45 miles on it.

I thought it was used, and could not figure out why someone would drive a new car only 45 miles, and then give it back.

Turns out it was a deal that fell through, and the car was returned to inventory, but not placed back into the "ready for sale" category.



After a (planned) weekend trip to Colorado, the "Tyrannosaurus Lex" had a few more miles on it.

18 months to put 45 miles on it, and 4 days to put 2400 miles on it.

We are extremely pleased with Sara & Jorge's customer service and attention to detail.
