Just picked her up last week
Wife Bought it from one of the local Lexus dealer last week. Nice looking car. Now to rip the standard radio out and put in a Pioneer AVIC 6000NEX head unit.
Carver, I'll be looking at your posts for help. This is a non-nav, non-ml replacement.

My first post
Here goes: I bought my 2007 RX350 used in Denver 2 summers ago and drove it to San Diego and shipped it back home to Maui.
The new Denver Kuni Lexus dealer service dept was amazing and gave it a nice onceover. I felt like a king. Great facility and amazing amenities upstairs while waiting. Massage chair? Yeah, keep working on my car.
I needed 4WD to tow my boat, and almost no 4WD's in Hawaii so bought it on the Mainland. White with beige interior. Fully loaded with Nav, tow package, etc. LOVE this car.

Hi All,
Longtime '99 LS400 owner (11 years, 230K total miles, 150K of them from me!) contemplating purchase of a 2005 RX330.
142K miles, 2 prior owners, no accidents. White over tan leather, AWD. No accidents, clean interior, OK exterior.
I'm having a real hard time running down whether the Tbelt has been replaced or not. The current owner doesn't "think" so and both of his repair shops (1 dealer) do not show it as being done in their records.
Current owner purchased at appx 100K and the prior owner may have had it done but I'm unable to find that out. So, I'm figuring on dropping $1K after purchase on it due to uncertainty.
Prepurchase shows it will need a steering rack, another $1K. Will need tires, $1K.
If I post the VIN can someone look up a universal dealer history?
Brian

So I pulled the trigger on the above. It's a clean base model with some deferred items.
Hope to be happy with it.
Will be sad to let my 99 LS go. She's a tank that I've really come to appreciate.

2009 lexus rx350
Owned for a little over a year now. Sitting at 120xxx miles. It's my wife's but I take care of it. It has the dark grey metallic color body . Roof racks (will be removing) with beige interior. We are looking to lower her a little, get some new wheels and slice it up. We have wrapped her a couple different colors . I'll try and post some pix.

2007 RX 350 Crystal White with 106,000 miles
I picked it up from a local dealer this week. It has had 3 owners but the maintenance history is on the Lexus owners site and seems pretty decent. It's got Navigation and 18inch wheels and seems to be in nice shape. Its had the water pump and rack replaced. In addition to two oil cooler lines. I had an independent mechanic check it out and other than brakes and tires coming due later this year looks good.
I will get all of the fluids changed out in a couple weeks. I need to get some touch up paint in the spring. I will run premium gas for a few weeks and check the mileage but plan on testing out regular gas after that to save a few $$.
How do I find a good independent Lexus/Toyota shop in SE Wisconsin?
Some photos below.
A couple chips on the front hood to touch up.
Any tricks for keeping the interior clean?

I just came across this website...I bought my first Lexus, a 2013 RX 350 with little over 20k miles, one owner. Silver lining metallic and I JUST LOVE HER with just one l exception: I sometimes hear this loud popping noise while slowly reversing. I've brought it in already 3 times for this and although my technician came out to my job and heard it himself they cant seem to duplicate the noise at the shop. Has anyone else experience this? If so, what was the problem

Hello all
I bought RX350 2009 gray, 3 months back for my wife. Vehicle had 66k miles on it, with navigation system. Wife was driving a 2005 Nissan Murano SL before that, for some reason wife wants to go back to Murano though we both like the interior of this one better but pick up of Murano was faster and stronger.

I bought my 2005 Black/Black RX330 about a month ago.
I have a 2011 Jaguar XJ SC and a 1998 Honda Accord (for the kids).
I've previously owned a BMW Dinan 540i, an Infiniti M35x, Cadillac Escalade and Buick Enclave.
Bikes include 2006 and 2008 ZX10, 2009 Buell CityX, Yamaha FZ-1, and my current ride which is a Suzuki M109R.
This is my first, and hopefully not my last Lexus. Hello!

Purchased 2007 RX400h mid October
Drove a cousin's 2008 RX 350, and began shopping. Learned there was a Hybrid version that gets believable MPG, and got serious about finding one.
Found mine at a local Ford dealership--every option I wanted, right color, AND 65k one owner local miles.
Have been blown away by quality and technology of Lexus Hybrid Drive. Nine year old car performs flawlessly. In addition, this forum, as well as the easy access to Lexus corporate and service information and infrastructure make learning about, maintaining, and servicing the vehicle easy and pleasurable.
