Any yellow or red flags for used 2011 or 2012?
I recently purchased a used 2012 RX-350 with around 80k miles. I had a pre-purchase inspection performed at a local shop and it passed with flying colors - no issues. I am the 2nd owner and have all records; all maintenance was performed at a Lexus dealer.
I love the vehicle and am considering buying another, either a 2011 or 2012.
With the Lexus/Toyota reliability reputation, I believe I can easily get another 50-80k miles out of the cars. That said, are there any warnings, gotchas, etc. that folks here can share? I realize I am not getting a new car and that mechanical things can fail. What are the likely culprits?
Thanks in advance!

Nothing out of the ordinary stands out. You can google for the TSB's for 2011/12 . Just be sure to ask for the usual service records. I would highly recommend doing a full drivetrain drain and refill given the expected mileage and that most Lexus dealers pitch that Toyota WS ATF is a "lifetime" fluid. Good luck in finding your next "new to you" Lexus!
