Looking at purchasing and would love to know from current or past owners their experience of this model and if it would be a good buy?

The numbers look good but is there any info on the vehicle maintenance history? Especially if the timing belt has been changed. Otherwise I would say this is a good buy.

For the price point & mileage, I would insist the Timing Belt & related parts are replaced!
If not, that is the mileage the Timing Belt should be replaced & the odds are better than average that wasn't done as yet.
Other than that, I imagine a warranty is also included? Premium Plus Package is also a good thing, options shown in the photo.
Personally I own a 05 Lexus RX330 AWD with the Premium Plus Package for 8 months now, paid a lot less although needed to invest for maintenance & repairs.
Now my RX, cost $5,000 in total is the best vehicle I have owned, that includes several vehicles I paid much more for in the past.

Yes, check the maintenance on that RX. Great low miles, but odds are it needs the timing belt done.
I have noticed that dealers like to show pictures or cars that are wet when there are flaws in the finish they want to hide.
I paid 10k out the door for my 08, but it had 140k miles and no nav. Looks like a good vehicle. I luv mine even thought it needs some maintenance.

Wow thank you guys for the amazingly quick replies. Here's what I could find online meeting with one of the people from the dealer tomorrow so will ask face to face for a detailed maintenance history report.

I also looked at the title history you linked which is fine to me, but that only tells the ownership of the vehicle, we need to know the maintenance. And if they cannot produce any, that is a bargaining point.

I think it's a fair price for a low mileage, fully equipped RX330. Assuming no major accident history or other red flags, ask the dealer for maintenance history and test drive.

If the car doesn't have any maintenance history or any recall work done (dash replacement and radiator pump), I think you can bargain with the dealer to get $1000-2000 off and lower the price below $10k
