      This one is very good-looking, but personally I think the 2004 to 2009 is classic, still looks modern, same reliability just doesn't have all the text features of the new ones, and the second generation you can actually get a panoramic moonroof which you couldn't get in this generation, it was rare but they still had it

      @james 699 I completely agree, also the second generation came with a multi panel moonroof or panoramic roof which while rare was a great option. I just waste the second generation had a keyless entry and start, I was surprised they didn't offer it for being the best selling model, in 2004 the Lexus LS had keyless go

    This is the best looking RX generation for me. On the outside. The interiour and the navigation system is indeed not up to German standards, especially the mouse control looks iffy. Wouldn't complain about the engine, the Lexus 3.5 seems phenominally reliable, also because it is naturally aspirated.

There are BMW 7’s from 2000 with almost no rust and they’ve outlived Chevy Cavaliers from 2004 that are now rusting to the point of junk. My old 745 was taken in and out a heated garage through 18 of Canada’s coldest winters and not a spot of rust. The engine is horrible but the body isn’t rusting.

    Yeah, the German cars will have you more engaged- with your mechanic. This is a car review by a guy who doesn't care about reliability, or doesn't know anything about it. This is the only one of the vehicles he mentioned worthy of a long-term relationship- the rest should ONLY be owned (or preferably leased) while under a manufacturer's warranty.

    Very good commentary on the exterior styling of this 3rd generation RX (and the 4th) to the first two generations. Your analysis is right on in my opinion. I own a 1999 RX300 which has classic good looks and still runs like new. My parents own a 2008 RX350 and it's styling is great as it's comfort, power and reliability. The current generation of Lexus models are just plain ugly and is a genuine barrier stopping me from buying one.

      Don’t waste your money or time. No one will sell this car with no mechanical issues or cosmetic ones for 3,400, that just won’t happen. This is probably a scam and is unfortunately too good to be true. A 2011 Lexus rx350 with 103,000 miles would go for between 17-000 to 21,000 dollars so that 3,000 one cannot be legitimate and is probably fake or some type of scam

I've seen many reviews of the RX 350 and they all have the same mouse that's in this video. I don't know why mine is different, but I remember when I was looking to buy my RX 350, I tried out another one that had the mouse that's like in this video. I didn't like it nearly as much as the one that I have. It's just interesting. I don't know if it's because my RX 350 doesn't have the premium sound system or what?

    Hello!
    Thx for your thoughts on this vehicle!🤗
    I’ve been looking for a pre owned Lexus for a while now, and although I would love to stay with 2end gen ones( which I agree look plenty good) but as I do my due diligence and research all the real world feedback/ reviews, I’m finding over and over again that there were very costly repairs that most had with the older ones that in no way could I ever afford. They were very common complaints that could end up catastrophic😔
    Things like water getting inside cabin foot wells, oil cooler hoses, water pumps, rear differential, bushings, power steering replacement….😢 need I go on?
    These problems were not just people complaining, they were actually affirmed by Lexus themselves, yet no recourse was given by them, the customer had to flip the bill in the end. The average repairs totaled 6,000$ and the saddest thing is they occurred early on.
    So my question to you is are these 2010’s and above have these horrible issues that you know of??
    I hope you can answer this for me because I may just skip over this car if this is still going on.
    Much appreciated:)

      Hi thx for your input👐
      Right after I wrote this comment, I ended up purchasing a 2005 Rex 330 with. only 92,000 mi and in mint condition both interior and exterior! The previous owner kept in garaged and really didn’t seem to use it that much. I was nervous because I was using some $ from my retirement fund that is not very big. I had it checked out by a few mechanics before purchasing and had to have the timing belt replaced and water pump for 850$
      So the dealer brought cost down to 10 from 11,000.00.
      They said it ran well but there were no detailed car fax records of maintenance repairs etc.
      Bottom line I felt in my gut that she’s a ’good one’..... Hope I’m right because I plan on having this one to my end of days🤞
      I sold the car I had, 2002 Honda CRV to my niece who loved mine and was in need of a car.
      I had that CRV for 20 yrs and only had 130,000 mi!! I rarely serviced it and it still kept going all those yrs!!! And hopefully will go another 100-200 thousand!
      I really hope and pray this lexus will match or exceed that reliability? 🌼

      MDX is larger and has a 3rd row seat so that may be a reason to go that route. Otherwise, I prefer the styling and interior on the RX. On the other hand, if you don't need the extra space in the MDX you should take a look at the RDX. I'd go RX over the MDX but between the RX and RDX I think I'd lean RDX.

    The reviewer missed mentioning the maintainance cost on this Lexus vs German vehicles. Not only the 2GR-FE and the powertrain is more reliable but also this car shares many other mechanical parts with the well built Sienna and Highlander which makes parts available for cheaper than German vehicles and not to mention the electronics malfunction with German and the cost to repair. I know people who sold their German vehicles and bought Lexus (they sold their headache and bought a peace of mind). To the average consumer that is worth alot when making a decision to buy a lexury vehicle.

Sounds like $25 K for a year newer is about right.These have higher resale values than German cars because they are way more reliable. I plan to drive mine for 10 years. You can't do that with a 9 year old BMW or Audi without spending many thousands of dollars fixing constant mechanical failures. Considering my other options for $24k, and the reputation of RX's for reliability, I think a 9 year old, low mileage Lexus was a better choice then a newer X5 or a Durango or something.

    Old tech and drives like a buffalo but the later generation 2GRFE engines are bulletproof. Resale value is stellar. Buy an x5 if you want a dynamic drive and newer tech but expect to pay more for maintenance and repairs.

    I’m looking to get a used rx. Should I buy the 08 with fewer miles than the 2010 with 150k ? They are the same price

    • @DrivenCompanion

      Depends on how many fewer miles we're talking and how much the body style matters to you. I would expect a well maintained RX to go well past 300K.

      Get the 2010 ... it is more luxury looking and the technology is still more updated.... I just got mine with 130k miles few days ago, 2011 tho

      Michael Mikky I did get the 2010 and we love it. Everyone thinks it’s brand new as well.

      Go with older model. Best to NOT buy 1st year- new model.
