COOLIS

I'm in need of an SUV and cannot find what I actually want (LX470), so am considering a 2005 RX330 since I found one that's beyond clean with under 100k miles. It's literally had every service done at Lexus. Timing belt/water pump has been replaced twice per the records (not sure if this should cause any alarm?). Dash pad was replaced under Lexus warranty. Both headlights were also replaced under warranty. Master cylinder was done. This all in addition to regular oil and other fluid changes. Car was detailed at Lexus at least once per year at Lexus. Seats don't even look like they were ever sat in. Seller even got tires done at Lexus. It's really that clean! Price is fair. Just wondering if there's anything I should watch out for? I'm a Lexus loyalist and know that even though they're extremely reliable, they're not perfect in addition to this also being a 15+ year old car. This one seems to have most common issues addressed, but wondering if anything I'm overlooking? Thanks in advance!

Go for it, looks like you have done your homework.

I was in the same boat as you ~1 year ago (trying to find a clean, older Land Cruiser or LX) and stumbled across a really clean 2004 RX330 and decided to give it a try. I absolutely love driving it. I had driven some RX's with worn out suspension that did not impress me but this one is very tight for a 17 year old car. I parked my 911 for most of the last year (Covid helped that too) and actually drove the Lexus a lot in the warmer months. I originally bought it for my kids who will soon turn 16 but am going to struggle giving the RX up when the time comes.
If you find a clean one and like it, I highly recommend it. I get a lot of enjoyment driving around in such an inexpensive but comfortable and luxurious car.

Plus 2^^^ as mentioned above......Great reliable vehicle to get in & drive, soothing ride, which doesn't like to be hustled around corners. My wife loves it as her g/f's have rx's as well.....Totally different from what I'm use to.

i would say snap that one up while its still on the market because it probably wont last long and if u dont act on it someone else im sure will!
