I am 52 yers old, and recently purchased an 08, FX35, from an independent dealer in Portland, Oregon - I got a great deal on it, mainly because it had high miles, about 22K. I was really shopping for an 05 model but the remaining factory warranty on the one I bought and the saphire exterior with black interior did me in. I did lots of reseach and was going nuts looking and looking on-line, because I live in a smaller community, and I got very close to buying an 05 on-line from a dealer all the way in Atlanta, till I got cold feet thinking about all the problems with buying without even driving first. Needless to say, I really, really love my FX - I had been driving a Sienna van for the past 10 years and was ready for move up in driving experience. My FX is pretty stock now, but I do love so many of features and especially how it handles and of course, its looks. Look forward to contributing to the forum, of which, I am a nubee to forums, so I will make an extra effort to participate
