All, I am looking to buy a certified RX 350. The years are may be 2011/ 2010 or 2009. Any idea about problems/issues with those models we have to look for and pricing? Feedbacks are appreciated. We are locate in Charlotte NC. Thanks

First you should go out and look at an 09 and than the 2010-11. Those are 2 different cars interior and exterior wise. OPnce youve found the year you want you can go into either th 2nd gen or 3rd gen forums and start the research. Both should have lots of warranty left and to be honest there isnt anything too major problem wise that i know of on the 2nd generation RX, we have an 08 and its just been minor things all covered under warranty.

I can see BMW, MB, Audi, or SAAB. Cars as reliable as Lexus/Acura/Infiniti I just can't see it.

We got a non-CPO from a Lexus Dealer for a bargain. Priced a similar CPO and my head nearly exploded.

CPO usually cost ~$1000 more.....

IMO it's worth to get CPO (esp with Nav)....

the nav cost an arm and a leg to fix if it dies.....

in canada its about $1600 more but still totally worth it.

Dixielex, what did you get and for how much if you don't mind me asking? it's wierd that there could be that huge of a difference on a cpo especially if their both at a lexus dealer, I could see saving a lot from a used car lot than a lex dealer though.

DixieLex

There was a few CPO 330's on the lot and they weren't 1000 to 1600 above what they were asking for my car. One had a nav the other did not....The prices were waaayyy in the early 20's.

I bought a non cpo at a carmax, saved $5000 over the same lexus at the dealership...Funny the cpo had more flaws than the non cpo and I figured for $5k difference I would invest in any repairs that were necessary...So far totally pleased...

Adamjeeps

Ditto. I even got Carmax to put on brand new Alenzas to seal the deal.

Totally agree. The extra $$$ saved on non-CPO car (I think I saved 5-7K) better put aside for POSSIBLE repair. I Replaced rear wheel hub (cost me under $400 in independent shop), did brakes - $100 more and it's about it for two years.

Before you buy any RX, register at Lexus.com Enter the vehicles VIN and check the service history.

damn, an extra $5000 plus for a cpo is insane!!!!!! theres no way id pay that.

all we did was call up lexus toll free number and they told us everything that was ever done on ours.
