Check your brake pads for wear. You are about due for a brake fluid flush as it has been about 3 years and that is the recommended Toyota/Lexus schedule. Brake fluid absorbs water, which leads to corrosion of expensive brake components, such as ABS and electronic brake force distribution modules. So a flush every 3 years is good preventive maintenance.

Be sure the engine air filter and cabin air filters have been changed regularly. Change oil per Lexus schedule. Check tires for wear, if OEM it may be close to replacement time.

33K is nothing for a Lexus/Toyota but you can't just look at miles no matter what the make. Get any used vehicle you're considering inspected by a good & reputable inspector.

With 33k original miles on the odometer, you should still be able to pick up that new car smell in the air. Main thing is go get that carfar/auto check and lexus.com owner's maintenance history pronto!
If the car has seen the dealer every so often in its young life for scheduled maintenance, you are good to snipe.
It is ever so slightly safer buying from a Lexus dealer than from a private party though. It seems that Lexus corporate takes those Lexus vehicle sales dead serious with regards to customer satisfaction. The day after I bought my RX, I had two Directors from different divisions email me to call them if I was not 100% satisfied with the entire experience. I did reach out to them because my RX did not come with a Tonneau cover that is supposed to be there from factory. They made quick work of that issue and ordered at no cost to me the $450 tonneau cover that now resides in my RX. That made it clear to me that Lexus corporate ain't playing with their customer's satisfaction.

They have a loyal customer with me because of their actions.
