Default another should i buy..?

Hello Everyone,

is this car worth a buy? Original owner... low miles.. Im staying away from the 04's because of the transmission issue. Do the 07's have the same issue?

Any advice would be appreciated.

TY

I'd buy it. That's identical to mine except mine had 166k on it when I bought it. To this day I still have to occasionally glance at the tach to make sure the engine is still running. That's very low mileage and looks to be in good condition. These vehicles do not have any issues with the transmission. They do have a couple of issues with leaks, the oil cooler lines, the VVTi line, and the steering rack. Other then those items they are pretty much trouble free.

There's something odd about the dash on that RX to me.. I've never seen an RX with tan seats have a black dash. And I've looked at hundreds. Most with the tan (Lexus calls Ivory) seats will have a slightly darker brown dash and matching tan leather on steering wheel, (which is how mine is too). Maybe if anyone else out there have seen this black/tan mix before they'll chime in. But I have never seen that.

That is not a tan interior. It is light gray. Same thing my 07 has. The photos seem to get off color as you look away from the front and center.
