Possible new 2nd gen owner!
Currently looking at an 07 Lexus RX350 with 230k miles. Getting it cause I’m on a budget, and I don’t really mind having high mileage vehicles. What problems should I look out for if I get this kind of vehicle?

Can you get any service records for it from the seller?
If you have the VIN, you can see service records (if the service was entered into the database) by registering at drivers.lexus.com
With 200K miles, the early common issues for oil line and coolant leaks have likely been resolved. Also, the steering rack had a problem of leaking in these cars.
So just for leaks in general. I'd also suggest checking the struts and front end parts.

As of right now, I have to figure out what’s going on with the rear left door because when I unlock the door, the actuator ticks at me. And I have to put a plastic piece that holds the door handle in place back on.
There’s also interior damage so I plan on putting seat covers and getting arm rest covers too. Otherwise, for a 235k car, it’s great.
