Hi guys, I am looking for a 2008-2015 LX, are there any years you would recommend to avoid, any known problems?

None - buy as new as you can afford.

Is there a year by year comparison to see what changed?

2010+ has BT music streaming- important to me. 2013 has HID headlamps. Those are the two big items for me personally.

I have a 2010 and installed Hikari LED bulbs, very happy with those.

I recently purchased a 2015 LX with 100,000 mostly highway miles and in great shape. I'm very happy with it and the two previous owners took the hit on most of the depreciation. I also like the BT music streaming and the headlamps. I waited for the right vehicle to come along, found it in another state, bought it without seeing it in person (trust your source and get a guarantee), and had it shipped. The only surprise was that the rotors were in bad shape but it's not unusual to replace rotors at 100,000 mile. All other maintenance was up to date. You can find the maintenance history on the Lexus website if you have the VIN#, and any repairs - so long as the work was done at a Lexus or Toyota dealership, or the owner entered work done elsewhere into the record. I plan to drive it for at least another 100,000 miles and longer if the newer LX models mutate to the point where they aren't good off-road vehicles.
