Second owner (Parents were first owners). 1999. Low mileage. Showroom Condition. Thought so highly of this car then when my Mom and Dad had it, I eventually bought a new one in 2005, not knowing that I was going to buy their 99 in 2010.

First-owner of 2002 FWD RX300. 107,000 miles. Purchased late in model year. I special-ordered without sunroof and with the towing package. I have since added an XM Satellite Radio (see previous postings for photos and description), but it is otherwise unmodified.

The first owners were my neighbors, they put about 30k miles on it. My parents were the second owners who put 60k miles on it. I'm the Third Owner (bought it at 90k miles, currently ay 173k). < I knew all of the owners of the RX, so I happily bought it when my parent's offered it to me. All though, I had to buy it through a dealership not my parents, as they had already traded it in before I made up my decision. So, I ended up paying the high end of the going rate for the RX about 5-6 years ago, but it was all worth it. Up until, I bought it, the car was serviced at Lexus.
2000 model year, AWD, fully loaded for that year. Look's brand new (not currently though, right now it's all salty, going to wash it tomorrow as it'll be 50F, what a weird winter!). I love it! I don't regret buying it at all, it's been a great SUV and it's actually a pleasure to drive. I've used the RX to do everything you can think off, except towing, and driving off a cliff. I might be adding a tow hitch soon though, which means I might end up towing something as well. Likely something very small, like a u-haul trailer to help my brother move a few things.
BTW: an option for 2003 is missing....

Yep owned a 99 RX300 bought in November of 1998...loved that car, drove it 178k miles and moved to a used RX400h....Everything is better, but the hybrid is a beast in itself. My RX300 was in excellent shape when I sold it minus a vibration, which I was about to tackle, New owner listened to me and replaced the driveshaft support bearings to the rear wheels and vibration disappeared. Havent seen it around town, but I miss it.
