Default RX330 or RX350

Hello everyone, I am going to be purchasing a used Lexus RX330 or 350 and wanted to know if there are any major differences. Price is an issue, however I will spend the extra money on the 350 if it is worth it. Any isses with the 330's? Will the 350 cost more on upkeep other than initial price? I am in the works with a private seller right now on a 350... http://www.globalautosports.com/car/...SUV-29443.html Is 32K a good price?

I would recommend the 350. I have owned one for 4 years ('07) w/o any problems other than the battery had to be replaced under warranty. Go for it and enjoy the ride. Great vehicle but I'm biased. Can't comment on the 330. Mandyfig called it perfectly.

I agree with all the above. And newer is better. It has many miles, though, for a 2009, and you should be able to bargain your dealer down a little.

350, newer more relevant engine, obvious difference in power, no loss of MPG.

We went from a 330 to a 350. Very note worthy difference in power and best of all for me...no timing belt on the 350.
