I'm just curious about the mileage people have put on their RXs. I've noticed several posters who have recently traded in 1st or 2nd generation RXs but not much about the odometer readings of these older models. Did a quick search and could find any threads on this topic. I hope to keep my 2011 RX for six or seven years but at 32,000km (20,000 miles) a year I'm afraid I'll wear it out by 2017/18. I bought mine in April 2011 and it currently has 37500km (23,301 miles) on the odometer.

 

I'm at 18K and took delivery back in January 2010. My previous RXs were traded in with around 50K at 5 and 6 years respectively. I move up when the next gen comes out.

 

Got mine in October 2009 and have just over 33k on it now. I am now putting about 1100 miles per month on it since I sold our 3rd car. My "plan" is to sell/trade it after the Winter of its 6th birthday. (I would like to have 2 years left on the battery warrantee when I turn it over.)

I doubt that you will "wear it out" if you maintain it properly. Back "in the day" a vehicle with 100k miles was on its last legs, now days, if they are cared for, they have a lot of life left in them.

I have a rather wealthy friend who runs his vehicles until they drop before buying a new one. He has an old GS that just will not die and he has no plans to replace it. It is approaching 200,000 miles!

 

Toyotas and Lexus for that matter have been known for reliability. My uncle has a 97 Toyota 4runner that he bought new and now has 512k on the odo. Yes u read right, 512k! Its still running strong. He's had minor repairs but nothing expensive.so I'm assuming u shouldn't have any issues with the RX. We plan to keep our RX for at least 10 - 12 years.

 

I had a Toyota Corolla 1991, I sold it for $1500 in 2009 with 150k miles..the engine ran flawless trans worked fine (as of that moment...)...but the rest began to fall apart (of course, time does not forgive). The reason why I got rid of it is because as normal wear and tear takes place and I began to replace and or repair "items" it gets to what I call "a point of no return"...one looks at the money spent and thinks ..."if I got rid of it now I lose money, if I don't I will be dumping more money into it and if a trans or engine needs repairs or replacement then I am really in a hole"...but again that is me ...so I counted my blessings and said good bye....

 

We bought a new 2010 RX in Oct. 2010. We now have 19k miles on it. We have a 2007 Avalon that we still drive a lot to keep the miles down on the RX. Thinking about trading it for a 2013 RX with nav about the time that the 2014's come out.

 

11 months and 9,700 miles on the odometer for my 2011 RX 350.
i normally sell/trade cars before it reach 70,000 miles regardless if it's a Toyota or a Lexus, although im pretty confident that it can go past 100,000 without any major repairs.
try to keep the car within the warranty OR you can always buy an extended warranty that can help you sleep at night or up to 125,000 miles.

 

I took delivery in late November 2009. I was typically putting ~ 14K miles per year on the car. Then we moved.

Since we moved in March of 2011, I've put 40K miles on the car. I'm now at about 62,000 miles for a car that's not quite 2.75 years old.

Other than the annoying squeak from the rear passenger shock/bushing, no complaints. I figure that at the 10 year mark, the car will be approaching 300K miles, and that's my goal.

So change your oil regularly.

 

I have about 12000 miles and I got mine on Dec 1, 2011. I will likely sell it when it has 150K on it or give to my kids. We will see how well they treat me.

 

I totally understand where you're coming from.
Back in the North East ( CT, RI) we average less than 12,000/yr on a car.
Having moved to sunny California, where you need to drive almost everytime..we put about 30,000/yr
The Prius we bought last year (2011 model) already have 40,000 on it
my wife's rationale is that, since there are so many places to go here in CA...it's OK.

I'm just glad we have Lexus and Toyotas, mostly.
A++++ for Reliabiity

 

I have a 2000 RX300 bought in Dec 1999. It has 169,485 miles and still runs like new

 

Watson arrived near the end of June 2009 as a 2010. Just turned 40,000 miles and he's rock solid

 

Got our 2011 450h in April 2011 and now have just over 7,000 miles on it.

It replaced a 2000 RX (we still have it also) that just rolled over 114,000 and still going strong. The latest thing to repair was a rusting transmission cooler line. Through the years it has needed tires (just put on the 2nd set), battery & brakes which is to be expected, Additionally it has needed an O2 sensor, air flow meter sensor (heater) and a mass air flow sensor. This does not count normal fluid changes (oil, P/S, brakes, coolant, ATF).

When we originally bought the 2000 I took it to Lexus for service right up until the point I needed an alignment (tires were wearing unevenly). I called every Lexus dealer in the DC area and every one of them was $159.00. I talked to a friend who works for Southeast Toyota Distributors (JM Family) and he said to take it to a Toyota store. He further said the technicians go to the same Toyota based training and use the same diagnostic machines (with different labels on them). The alignment at Toyota was $59.00 and while I didn't get a fancy waiting room and drinks, for $100 I can go to Dunkin Donuts a bunch of times

There is no corporate prohibition on Toyota stores working on Lexus. They just can not bill Lexus for warranty work. Now, with that said, some Toyota dealerships have their own restrictions on working on Lexus which may be based on ownership of several different brands or different owners giving a nod & a wink to their friends....

From that point on I went to either a Toyota store, an independent shop or did the work myself. One of the best things I bought was a $39.00 OBDII scan reader (Costco) which I have used a couple of times to figure out where I wanted to take it.

 

@ 16K now.
