So i have an isf and was looking to get a rx330 or 350 as my daily/winter beater. Do they make rxs in white with black interior? Also what colors exteriors came with black interiors? Thanks

Most white RXs that I've seen have a tan interior. I have a silver RX400h with a black interior.

You can download the Carmax app and see what exterior/interior combinations you like.

My other question. Between the 330 350 and the 400h does one have any more issues than the other? Do the rx400h have anything I should look for esp with higher mileage? Thanks in advance.

I'd say go for the 350. It is more refined than the 330 and does not have a timing belt. Just be careful about the oil line recall as mentioned here in this subforum. The 400H is very good but at this age and mileage, you'd probably need to look into the hybrid battery soon.

I have a silver 07 RX and it has a light gray interior. The 350 engine was introduced on the 07 model. There are 2 problems with the engine that hopefully will have been corrected on one you get. They both pertain to external oil lines. They are rubber hoses that burst. One is called the oil cooler line and that has a metal pipe replacement. The other is the VVTI (variable valve timing). Lexus issued a 10 year extended warranty for both items. The power steering racks also leak oil on the 2nd gens.

I own a 05 RX330 AWD, Premium Edition, Pearl White with a Tan Interior with 140,000 miles, changed the timing belt & related parts not long ago as it was never done previously.
After driving about 10,000 miles, definitely getting my $$$$ value & extremely pleased with the vehicle.
I will gladly change the timing belt again at 230,000 miles, if no major issues arise before then.
