Default Looking to buy a used rx350

Hi all,

I am looking to buy a used rx350 and wanted the 411 on what to look for (common problems). I've done some googling and found

1) piston slap
2) rattles

What else am I missing? Do you think these vehicles have the build quality to run 250-300k miles?

Thanks in advance!

What generation?
Most overall RX condition can be determined by the maintenance schedule or lack thereof. Not sure when Lexus started with full synthetic oil (could have been Gen 3; 2010+), but these engines should go 250k or more on synthetic oil and scheduled oil changes.
