You do not say what year it is or how it is equipped. Did you run it through kbb.com to see what it says?

If it sounds too good to be true...
Or it Could just be that they have sat on it too long and want to move it fast.

The CARFAX reports are sometimes not worth the paper they are printed on. Like any used vehicle, a thorough inspection by an independent mechanic would be wise.

That price is way low even at the new higher price. Have this vehicle thoroughly checked out before buying.

That's an odd place for wear. You'd thing the drivers window would wear the most.

In August I bought my 07 RX350 for $17k with 33k miles, exact same int/ext colors and options as in the pictures you posted, except mine is AWD. Very little wear overall also lady driven, only thing is it needed a new dash and some small deferred maint issues. That price seems very good for a 400h, I think it being an 07 most if not all depreciation is out of the vehicle at this point. Could be a great buy if it checks out and you grab for $15k or so.

Yes I did buy private, he was asking 19k. I wanted an 07 or newer for the 3.5L engine. So far very happy with the purchase.

I believe all the 400h's have the 3.3 engline

Sorry meant to say for the rx330 vs the rx350's, I wasn't looking for a hybrid (although I'd like one someday)
