Default I just sold my 99 rx 300 - oh happy day !

This is the most joy that rig has given me ! watching the tail lights become smaller and smaller.

got 4,400 for it, now I can replace it with a much more reliable vehicle ...... a yugo fits that definition.

Adios rx 300 apologists !

You just got a bad egg that wasn't taken care of... It's a shame. Hope you find the right car for you.

Glad that you could move on.

Once the emotions level off, please post your feelings and expectations the day you bought the RX. I am very interested in knowing if the seller failed to disclose the condition of the RX. Most of the time, it is pure greed on the part of the seller who essentially cheats another fellow human.

So you needed to act childishly and take your frustration out on us. Don't forget to let us know what you buy so we can have a good laugh. Lexus still tops the automotive industry as the highest quality and most reliable brand. My 99RX is approaching 190k miles and has been the most reliable vehicle I have owned. I am getting ready to buy a new RX.

Man! That guy got a great deal! This guy dumps a lot of cash fixing it up and then gives it away! How come guys like this are never around when I'm ready to trade. 4400, I'll bet the buyer is laughing his azz off.

I keep an eye on the CraigsList (Reno) auto section weekly for anything interesting re: Lexus and I happened to run across your snarky post about selling it - which was flagged and removed, thankfully. Your original sale post is still up there, by the way. Who makes a CL ad saying how glad they are to sell their vehicle? What a coincidence that same said individual was posting here.

As they say in Japan, 'Sayonara!" Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Default I beg your pardon .... not.

No C.L. ad of mine was flagged dude.

Ya the next guy MIGHT say that rx 300 is the best damn car FOR 4400. OR NOT.

People I play poker for almost a living ( different forum lol ) and owing that rx was similar to having a very frustrating night at the table, imagine being down about 6,500.00 during a session and you win a pot for 4,400. YOU LEAVE !!

FEEL ME ???

I know lexus overall makes a damn good product, but my opinion of the first gen. rx is basically underwhelming in nature - especially after talking with at least five different mechanics during the course of REPAIRS - PLURAL in a short time span.

So adios !
