Default A newer RX?

Hello,

My 2005 RX has 71000 miles.The condition of my RX inside and outside looks to be two or three years old. I am considering a 2013 or 2014 RX.as a replacement. The primary reason for updating is the leaking headlights.I have replaced three headlights since I purchased the car seven years ago at considerable cost. The replacement headlights leak after two to four years. It appears that no improvement in the quality of manufacturing of the headlights was made. I have reservation in respect to the newer RX. Did Lexus correct the headlight leaking?

Thank you

autobuff, that's a lot of headlights! I had both replaced on my 330. Fortunately only once and it was covered under warranty.

Checking the forum, there was a 2010 RX owner who had a headlight condensation problem. It's not a widespread problem as far as I can tell. But I understand your concern given what's happened to you. Maybe avoid any RXs with front end damage to play it safe. Good luck.
