Found a great one owner south Florida car:

Beautiful car! I would change all the fluids if it hasn't been done lately, trans, brakes, radiator, PS and have it checked for age related problems with belts and hoses. That one will last you a while!

Nice find very clean.

Your coolant bottle looks a little low, probably want to at least top it off with Toyota red coolant.

BE sure to check for Cracks or bulges on the tires sidewall, if they are in fact, 11 years old. I agree with others to check all hoses and belt and replace all the fluids.
Conrats!

She's 15 months. A safe car is a MUST and a Lexus -especially an RX300- is a good way to ensure that the occupants will be protected.

I'm a firm believer in Toyota safety and reliability. A few days ago I was NAILED turning into my drive way while in my Landcruiser:

BEFORE---



AFTER---



No one was in the truck with me at the time. That woke me up! I purchased the RX300 2 days later for my wife. In the meantime, I'm looking for a LX or 80/100 series Landruiser.

The RX was given a baseline at my dealership...

Flushed brake lines, coolant, new pads... I live near a TireRack distribution center and will be picking up a set of General Grabbers HTS.

Did the blond lady not want her face all over Club Lexus?? I would seriously consider a drain and refill on the transmission it it wasn't done.

Awesome car!!! Just change the fluids like everyone else has advised here. Be vigilant about the trans fluid. You can drain and fill it very easily and inexpensively by yourself and it can't hurt to do it every 15 or 20k. The overwhelming majority of folks do not have problems with the trannys but some folks have had issues, and that's why I suggest the frequent drain and fills on your transmission.
