The Perfect Green Vehicle to Bring Home This Month

It’s your lucky day! At Larry H. Miller Lexus Spokane, we are having awesome sales throughout the month to celebrate the month of green. Why green? Four leaf clovers are green and having a green vehicle will most likely give you luck.  Not the color green but our eco-friendly vehicles that do good for our environment. Here are two green vehicles that might be lucky enough to go home with you today.

2018 Lexus ES 300h

This luxurious sedan is a true beauty. The Lexus Hybrid Drive system that comes in the ES 300h gives you a smooth drive—one that you can’t resist. The system combines a four-cylinder engine with an electric motor to generate horsepower. Depending on the driving situation, it runs on the electric motor, gas engine, or a combination of both. You’ll enjoy this vehicle because it indicates the use of energy and encourages efficient driving habits.

2018 RX 450h

Lexus’ first luxury hybrid vehicle was a gas and electric version of the popular RX SUV model. This fuel-efficient SUV has an impressive 30 mpg combined EPA-estimated fuel economy. Can you think of how many more miles you will get and how many more adventures you can go on? Not only is this SUV great on gas, the Hybrid Drive system on this vehicle pairs a V6 gas engine with two high-torque electric motor generators to generate stronger acceleration with more power. The RX comes equipped with several driving modes including Normal, Sport, Eco, and EV. The EV mode enables electric power at lower speeds for short distances.

Choose a vehicle that helps the environment produce less harmful fumes into our air—choose to go green. Not only will you doing good for the world around you, you’ll benefit too! Everyone loves fuel efficient vehicles and saving money. Follow the rainbow to Larry H. Miller Lexus Spokane to find your green pot of gold.

Four Reasons Why You Should Buy L/Certified by Lexus

So, you want a luxury car but don’t want to pay the sticker price for it. You’re not alone. A new car is not something that everyone can afford or wants to spend their hard-earned money on. Lucky for us, there are used cars on the market. Better than that, there are certified pre-owned cars to choose from. L/Certified by Lexus are used vehicles that go through an intense safety inspection to offer you peace of mind when you decide to purchase one.

L/Certified Benefits

1.     Cheaper Costs – A used Lexus will definitely be cheaper than a brand-new one. A lot of people would rather score a deal and save a few thousand bucks for a vehicle that is only a few years old. The truth is, you probably won’t even notice the difference because the dealership does a great job of making a used car look and feel brand-new.

2.     Inspection – Highly skilled Lexus technicians go through a 161-point inspection to ensure the safety of their vehicles. Many people are worried about buying a used car because they don’t know where it’s been or if there is anything wrong with it. With a certified vehicle, you won’t have to worry about that because it has passed a rigorous inspection and is backed with a warranty.

3.     Warranty - Some people can score a better deal when they purchase a vehicle through a private seller, but the two things they miss out on are warranties and maintenance. L/Certified vehicles come with an unlimited-mileage vehicle warranty. This warranty covers up to six years and offers a complimentary loaner car, roadside assistance, and trip interruption service to ensure your safety on the road. For more details about this warranty, you can contact us at any time and we will be happy to go over this in more detail.

4.     Complimentary Maintenance – Just like many new vehicle purchases, you will also receive complimentary maintenance, but with a used vehicle. This is an awesome benefit that usually seals the deal for many car buyers. You will receive factory-recommended services for two years or 20,000 miles, whichever comes first.

Buying a used certified vehicle is a win-win for many people, especially for those who want luxury without paying the full price. At Larry H. Miller Lexus Spokane, we have a wide selection of L/Certified vehicles that we know you will enjoy driving home in. Check out our online inventory and take one out for a spin.

What we Know About the All-New Third Row Lexus RXL

Buyers have been asking—actually demanding—a three-row Lexus RX for quite some time. Although Lexus already has a couple of other three-row SUVs, there’s something about the RX that people love. Now, the 2018 Lexus RXL is finally here and the people will finally get what they want.

To debut this new SUV, Lexus has developed a marketing campaign to highlight the luxury and flexibility that three rows can offer. Able to seat six or seven people, the new RXL model will have the RX’s sophisticated features while providing more room for the unexpected.

"The RX has been the top-selling luxury utility vehicle in the U.S. for more than 20 years, and we're excited to offer the next evolution of the iconic crossover in two flavors: the V-6 RX 350L and the powerful multistage RX 450h," said Cooper Ericksen, vice president of marketing for Lexus. "The RXL marketing campaign is targeted at the modern family who values the luxury of space and flexibility for whatever life throws at them."

The RXL is a brand-new configuration of the Lexus RX and will be one of the less expensive luxury SUV models you will find. In the RX 350L, front-wheel drive is standard but all-wheel drive (AWD) is optional. If you want to go green without sacrificing speed and utility, the RX 450hL has 450 horsepower and standard AWD.

As with many other Lexus models, active and passive safety systems come standard. Both RXL models offer Enform Safety Connect* and Enform Service Connect*, which are complimentary for the first 10 years of vehicle ownership. Also included is the Lexus Safety System+*, which includes the Pre-Collision System* with Pedestrian Detection*, Lane Keep Assist*, Intelligent High Beams*, and All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control.* The RX 450hL Hybrid comes standard with Blind Spot Monitor (BSM)* with Rear Cross Traffic Alert.* 

The 2018 Lexus RXL will be available at Larry H. Miller Lexus Spokane soon. In the meantime, contact us if you have any questions about this upcoming model. If you’re interested in checking out the 2018 RX model, which will have many of the same features as its sibling, we have plenty to choose from on our lot. Stop by and take a test drive today and experience the difference luxury can make.

Larry H. Miller Spokane Dealerships Fourth Turkey Drive to Support Union Gospel Mission Thanksgiving Dinner

Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks and be thankful for what you have. For the Larry H. Miller dealerships in Spokane, it is a time to give back. For the fourth consecutive year, the Larry H. Miller dealerships will fund the Union Gospel Mission (UGM) City-Wide Thanksgiving Dinner with a $5,000 donation. Each year, the UGM serves turkey, with all of the sides and fixings, to more than 1,000 homeless and low-income individuals and families. The free Thanksgiving feast is open to everyone spending the holidays homeless, hungry, or alone. This year the dinner will take place on Wednesday, November 22, from 3:30 - 6:30 p.m. at the Spokane Convention Center.  

“Our employees really look forward to supporting the City-Wide Thanksgiving Dinner each year,” said Bob McLean, general manager, Larry H. Miller Lexus Spokane. “When they’re out shopping for their own Thanksgiving gathering, many of them will purchase an extra turkey to donate to the UGM dinner. In addition, we all enjoy volunteering together as a group to serve the dinner to our neighbors. It’s quite meaningful to see exactly how our donations help and who they help.”

In addition to the financial donation, for every car sold or leased from November 9 – 22, the participating Larry H. Miller dealerships will donate turkeys to the UGM. In 2016, the Group delivered more than 150 turkeys to the organization.

For more than 65 years, the UGM has worked hard to support the needs of those less fortunate in Spokane. The organization began as a downtown soup kitchen in 1951 and has expanded into a comprehensive ministry with four shelters, three recovery programs, two thrift stores, an automotive business, and a summer camp for underprivileged youth.

We at Larry H. Miller Lexus Spokane are proud to be a part of a wonderful event to support the community during the holidays and are excited to see how the community comes together to give back. It is important to us to enrich lives and make the world a better place. Let us know how you plan on giving back this holiday season. We’d love to hear about what charitable causes you believe in and expand our tradition of giving back by including the things you care about most.
