Default Thinking about getting this 2010 RX350, Any opinions?

https://www.koonstoyotatysonscorner....015019cc78.htm

Hello. I have been looking for a used RX350 in affordable price range, and today this one caught my eyes.
Despite having 2 accidents prior, price seems reasonable and has low mileage considering the age of vehicle.
Is there anything that I should look out for? Also is it possible that I can get an extended warranty from Lexus even though this was listed from Toyota dealership?
Any input appreciated. Thx.

Probably best to have a body shop with a mechanic look at it to make sure the frame is straight and there are no other issues.

i doubt you will be able to get an extended warranty on a car that as you said has 2 recorded accidents.
typically any insurance company will only ext. a warrantys for clean cars. a warranty from lexus or a lexus dealer will have even stricter requirements

Thanks for your response.
I ended up purchasing the car and got an extended warranty for another 6 years.
Not sure about the requirement, but they assure me this is from any lexus or toyota dealership.
Only thing missing was floormats which I am looking to order OEM all weather.

Congats.

Before you order the OEM all-weather, you may also want to consider some of the aftermarket options for liners that have more depth to capture liquids.
A lot of people like weathertech, but I believe it is a bit too plastic/slippery.
I ended up getting the 3d maxpider (or other rebrands) and am happy with it. There are some other reviews if you search on it.

I got the WeatherTech mats and not the liners for my 2010 and later a 2013 RX. Love the mats.

I have the Weathertech liners in both my RXh and my F250. Love them.

I have read many positive reviews for WeatherTech, but ended up getting OEM since they were cheaper.
We will see how they hold up. Thank again.

Congrats on the car! I also recently got a lower mileage 2010 and took the extended warranty also after my brother in law strongly urged me. A lot of those extended warranty's are supposed to work at any licensed repair shop so you can use them anywhere especially if you get stuck. I had the Husky Liners in my 2000RX and was very happy with them and they were not too pricey. My vehicle came with rubber lexus rx mats and they seem ok, we'll find out this winter. Make sure to check the cabin air filter (through the glove box, real easy) so you don't get stuck with a load of debris, lol. Great color! Pulled the carfax through the link and didn't see any accidents listed.
