Default 2004 RX330 Flint Mica/Ebony Pictures

This is my first time posting pictures to this site, so I figured I'd put a couple up of my first Lexus. I hadn't seen too many pictures of RX's with black interiors, so here's a couple.

In March, I purchased my CPO 2004 RX330. It had about 54K miles on it and I got it for about $21K including TTL.

So far I am very happy with my Lexus. I come from 3 previous Acura cars and although this doesn't drive as sporty the fit/finish and comfort are superior compared to the Acura.

I took these two pictures this past weekend after I clayed and waxed it. Keep in mind, this vehicle is 6 years old.

Hope it looks OK...

You think so? Why? I've never really liked the way they looked.

Nice car. 100% like my dad's RX, same year, colors, difference is the OEM wheels though.

Here's some pics if you want to check out another waxed and 'modded' RX330.

I am meant , if something happened insurance will never going to pay 21K, insurance don't care you have CPO or not. And remember it's 2004, the price tag for this car on auction(it's what dealer will pay for trade or paid) about 12K maximum. So you can find 2004 RX 330 between 80,000-100,000 for 15K, then buy warranty for 1K.

I felt like I did OK, the $21K includes TTL. It was a one-owner and so far it has treated me well. I really like the color combo, just not when it is 100+ degrees, then I wish I had gotten the lighter interior.

I could start another thread, and I've searched, but I'm about ready for the 60K maintinance. Keep in mind I just got it 54K miles ago, but I know the 60K service wasn't done, but from the history reports the 15K and 30K were.

I checked and it says to inspect most of the fluids such as transmission, coolant, etc. I believe it says to drain and replace brake fluid.

What else should I have done other than oil, filter, air filter, cabin filter? Keep in mind, it never gets cold here, but it does get warm in South Texas.
