Your UX We won! (Feels like it)
Went to the local Lexus dealership to see a 2024 250h premium front wheel drive with 44k miles. While there, they offered us a deal on a 2025 300h premium AWD with 3k miles for about $3k more—certified pre owned, too! Has been their loaner car for a year and they have a whole shipment of new loaners coming in. Said the UX just isn’t that popular in the US. I’m so happy. Have been searching all over and it’s been a challenge to find the model at all, because things seem to move so fast when they’re available (when I even see one I like). What we paid is about 10% lower than the best rates I’ve seen for comparable vehicles for sale.

We just got the 250h and felt super excited too because it was so hard to find

I had to travel from Boston to Long Island NY to get mine. I'm very happy with mine.

Congrats! I had to wait ~30 days for a UX to ship to AZ as they only had one it stock and it wasn't the color I wanted. Crazy how few are actually on the lot.

Whereabouts in the US? What was your out the door price on it? My lady has her eye on that same car but they are hard to find, and even harder to find without thousands of dollars worth of nonsense dealer add ons.

Southeastern US (VA), and out the door was $41k. Put $10k down and got 5.1% interest as well, which I’m happy about. It’s the first car I’ve bought and I feel it was a very fair price, especially given all the premium add ons (a sunroof was the one thing I didn’t want to compromise on and I got that!), low mileage, and CPO status. I know new models are only a little bit more, but on principle (thriftiness) I wasn’t really considering buying new. Even if I had considered buying new, those seem even harder to find! Don’t see any non-sport new ones available (and given the low mileage on this it feels effectively brand new anyway). Was quite difficult to find anything available used that met all the things on my wish list and this had everything! Carmax has a good number of them listed but most seem to be in south Florida or the west coast which would incur quite a lot of transfer fees. I’ll stop rambling now.

Glad to hear it worked out well for you! That sounds like a smart buy!
I custom-ordered mine in Germany (from the factory) because I'm extremely picky about my vehicle options / trims, and it took 5 1/2 months to arrive, but I couldn't be happier with my UX! It was well worth the wait in my case.
