At this time think you are 0 miles and replace all fluids.
Check dates on tires and most likely you would need to replace them.
Have the battery test with load [be prepared to replace it]
Treat the leather.
Cycle up the A/C.
Read the Warranty and service manual and start follow the service intervals,
I am happy that you found a low milage RX but at the same time a machine that is not used does not mean new. Plastic is all hardened. Leather and rubber and foam has lost its flexibility. Dry rot may be present. Bushings/suspension may not be pliable.
I would gradually bring the vehicle to new normal.
Congratulations and welcome to ClubLEXUS.
