Default New Used RX owner: Should I expect LCPO to be as good as a new one?

Hi, Everybody:

I am a new owner of a lcpo rx 350 2010. I am expecting it to be as good as a new one. To be honest, I am not very capable of owning a lexus rx because I am short of money (like always).

Do you guys have any suggestions about how to minimize the cost? Maybe this is a stupid question.

Thanks anyway.

Larry

NOT as good as a new one; you didn't pay 50k like I did either; shouldn't buy more vehicle than you can afford; welcome to the forum!!! Don't drive 80 all the time like some do and you will get better gas mileage!!!

I've bought two used RX Gen 2s and one brand new Gen 3. I only bought a new one because the F-Sport just came out and I couldn't wait, otherwise in my experience, Lexus vehicles are so reliable that buying a lightly used vehicle (< 50K miles < 3 years) is worth the extra dollars in savings if you plan on keeping it for less than 5 years. If you intend to keep it much longer, you're probably better off buying new since near 90-100K miles that's when the bigger costs of wear and tear items more likely will come up.
