Default Would you buy this Lexus RX350 ??

I am a newbie here, wanting to buy a 2010 RX 350 from a private guy long distance -

23000 miles, 2 owners, pictures look good, a third party inspection came out good except for some scratches on the exterior. $26500

No specific package names were mentioned, but I saw these features among other usual ones -

- NAV & rear Camera
- Moonroof
- Leather
- Tow Packag
- Heated & Ventilated Front Seats
- Power Tailgate
- Parking Assist

- Would appreciate any and all opinions

Best Regards

It seems to be a good price.
Only thing I would be worried about is the "Third-Party Inspection" . If you're serious take it to a Lexus dealer.

YES!! I bought it for $26,500, looks nice but does not drive silent, some road noise while driving back the 2 hrs.

I read several threads about the noise from 19" wheels, so although that was a deterrent, we are still excited about our first Lexus.We will deal with the noise after a little while. With the dealers wanting 30 - 31K, this was a better deal and a much easier private person to deal with rather than the pitbull salesmen at any dealership.
The worst it can be, we may have to get 18" wheels, or if I am lucky exchange the 19" wheels to the 18" .

We have been a long happy Toyota family for the last 30 or so years and have driven almost all their models, I am surprised Lexus, a Toyota company let this noisy SUV pass. Our present Camry, Avalon and Sienna are all quieter than the RX350, but yes, they are all non SUVs though, so it may well go with the territory of a SUV.

Thanks for your help, I have a lot to learn about this fancy Toyota.

Best regards

Most likley the tires not the wheels, I would stick with the 19s and maybe go for different tires.
