Default How many miles do you have on your RX330

I just bought my RX330 05 a couple of weeks ago and since then, I have seen others acquiring theirs

I would love to see how many miles you have on your RX330 (and year too). I suspect that there are many of you with over 250,000 miles but how about 350,000+ miles?

Thanks....

198k on my 2006. Bought it used 8 years ago with 134k miles and have only had to replace the alternator. P0117 code popped up yesterday so I’ll be replacing the ECT sensor this week.

Very pleased with the car. Wish I could do something about the dashboard.

170k miles on my RX330 - it became my DD about 4 years ago when it had 100k miles. Meticulous maintenance history before that - all service items, including oil changes, were done at the Lexus dealership.

Since then, I've switched to doing most of the routine maintenance myself rather than at the dealer - thereby saving thousands in $$$. I replaced the CD changer due to a error 4 stuck disk, replaced the front and rear brake pads and rotors, and had my indy mechanic replace a leaking radiator.

The engine and transmission in these are solid and shift smoothly, and unlike the previous Toyota that I've owned, the body is holding up considerably well given the amount of salt that we use on our roads during the winter.

2005 RX330 going on about 85K. Can't complain, it's been super reliable as expected. But with gas fluctuating so much these last few weeks, my Corolla has been in more use than the RX.

Check with Lexus some were covered by a "customer satisfaction program" for cracking and or melting - unlimited mileage I think. All they need is the VIN you can call customer service or the dealer. They did my 04 RX for free last year.
We have 181,000 on ours right now but getting some transmission shifting issues that I need to have looked at. Fingers crossed it is something simple...

My 2004 RX330 just crossed 240,000 miles two days ago. Some little things have started to happen like the dashboard cracking and the blower motor just started to make noises. It also drips some oil if it is parked on an incline and idling. There is a bit of rust on the tailgate, too. However, it's still amazingly solid for the age and mileage. I even trust it to go on a 1,200+ mile road trip in two weeks. We'll see if I just jinxed it, though.

Just hit 170k. Everything works perfectly, no rattles, and still tight.

2005 195k on it. got it with 162k about 3 years ago. Only thing that was major was the pressure return hose sprung a leak, for the power steering fluid. My accessory belt chirps when I floor it and the AC is on. Other than that, it's been flawless. I hope I can get 343k out of mine. I am not sentimental about cars, but I love the RX. Almost every thing about it. About to tow some motorcycles to the track, for the first time. Curious what kinda mpg I will get.

I'm curious of the radio/cd changer replacement. We bought an extended warranty and had it replaced once already with an OEM model. Did you find somthing after market or did you use an OEM CD changer?

We have 168K miles on our RX400h and do not plan on getting rid of it any time soon. Love it!

I replaced the malfunctioning CD changer in my RX330 with an refurbished OEM unit that I bought off of Ebay for $200.

I thought about getting an aftermarket Android or Carplay head unit, but didn't like how the aftermarket unit would look inside the dash and I didn't want to bother rewiring the dash to accomadate an aftermarket unit.
