@@kenithbarron9415 We got it from CarMax surprisingly, but it has 113,000 miles. Carmax gave us a free powertrain warranty for the first 4,000 miles / 90 days.
We recently bought a 2022 RX had only 16k miles. It was manufactured very late in 2022 and was used by a corporate type. Still has new car smell and look. We expect to easily get 10 years out of it.
The lift gate struts can start to rattle over bumps. Its really loud but the fix is either replacement at $212 a strut or spending $2 on pipe insulator from Home Depot. (Just wrap them and provide cushion and sound dampening. )
I own a ‘17 RX 350 which I bought for $74,520 in October of 2016. Current mileage is 280,000 kilometers (100+ kilometers daily commute) Serviced every 10,000 kilometers. Total maintenance cost: $25,000 including 5 sets of performance tyres. Total fuel consumption (over 7 years): ~58,800 litres (15,590 gallons) Minor issues: 1- Center console armrest worn out and slightly torn. (Did not fix) 2- Drivers middle vent stopped blowing air ($735) Major issues: None.
$74,000!? I'm feeling alot better now spent $31,000 last year for a 2016 now at 63k miles on 2 long out of town road trips drove like new practically drove itself with the self braking radar cruise & LkA
@@itisonlyaplant 28 oil changes and air filters, 2 engine flushes, couple differential oil changes, several AC air filters, several injector cleaning/changes, one crankcase pan replacement (a bit too much off-roading), about 4 sets of brake pads and once or twice brake rotors resurfacing. That’s from the top of my head.
I find if I want to have better acceleration, I just set it to sport mode. Changes the gear ratio, and I find it quite "peppy". I like Scotty_Gee disagree about it being sluggish. You step on, it goes.
@lifehouseone I bought with just over 30k miles on it, and now it's close to 100k miles. If it's been regularly serviced by lexus, the mechanics should be great.
@@lifehouseoneI have a 2017 model and it has 130,000 miles on it. No problems. My mom has the 2016 model and hers has almost 160,000 miles on it. No problems. I would buy it.
Get a 2012-15 or 2018-19 Rx. That's what the master tech AMD suggests here on YT. High miles is OK, as long as it has a good maintenance record. Ideally, you would look for one with 60k miles or less, so that you can service the transmission fluid. That way, you should have a Lexus that can last 200k plus if you take care of it by doing maintenance and 5k mile oil changes (or every 6 months). 👍
I hear that the Rx has issues with oil leaks. Specifically from the gasket cover. I’ve read reviews where a lot of ppl needed that replaced. I’ve also looked at the Carfax on a couple and they had that part replaced. This is a 6K cost at the dealer to fix. I’m torn !!! Has anyone had issues with oil leaks ?
I test drove many '16 - '19 RX & now own a '16 I keep hearing how its extremely quiet but i don't think its really that quiet in the acceleration there's a bit of a refined engine growl in that can get pretty loud, no road noise once settled but that growl ruckus was a turn off when test driving but i noticed all of them had it so i gave in I test drove a Volkswagen Atlas that was quieter in its acceleration so for Lexus this is uncharacteristic
I test drove a 2016 one today and was really surprised by the engine, road and wind noise. From all reviews I got the impression it was going to be incredibly silent inside. The problem might be that I wanted to replace my L405 Range Rover, which is so much more comfortable, it's not even close. I had too high expectations going in.
hi. Can't agree with your assessment that power on acceleration is underwhelming. Having driven a number of high end cars the RX is quick enough for the majority of humans and passing power is more than enough. Throttle response is very good and I've never experienced jerkiness.
I just bought a 2018. It defines luxury and comfort. I have the base trim that has the classy horizontal chrome slabs for mouth (not the hideous black honeycomb) so it looks much better IMO. Also it does not pretend to be something it isn’t. It’s not sporty or geared to be driven hard. It does not have lots of cargo and it’s not sporty or an off-road beast. But it is perfect for commuting to work, getting groceries, driving in the rain all in comfort and style in a civilized world. It’s a very relaxing experience driving one that helps you relieve stress. It is what a Lexus should be.
Nice! Congratulations. We bought ours 11 months ago. Also 2018 w only 36k miles on it. We paid out of the door $39k. How much did you paid for yours out of the door and mileage on it? I've read up that 2018 is best yr to buy. I only found out few days ago as I'm also looking to buy an old rx 330 w 151k miles on it. Price under 6k. Errand car so I don't mind too much. Plus LA we paid over 2k for full coverage insurance on our 2018 rx 350. I might have get an old rx 330 to lower cost of coverages if we drive under 5k miles for rx 350 and use rx 330 for daily drive.
@@bich-vanleBought a month ago, 35K mileage, paid $32K. The dealer put on new tires, new brake pads, new wipers after they bought it so i was pleasantly surprised that I basically bought a new car from a maintenance perspective.
@@E92Danny Lol what would that be, another $2K on a 2018 for bigger wheels and badging. More money doesn’t always mean better. That crossover has no business having “sport” badging anywhere on it.
Good cars and the only problem is the the unlucky people who get the timing chain cover oil seeping. It is more common than we like but it normally isn't an engine killer. It will be an annoyance, smell of burning oil on engine and could lead to some early demise of car parts the oil eventually lands on. I can't believe after an engine has been used for almost 20 years, they still haven't figured out a way to fix a $20 gasket problem without removing an entire engine. Ugh! So for the majority it is all good!
My wife and I just got a 2015, and I’ve been extremely disappointed in the road noise and ride quality. I drive around town in a 2006 mercury grand Marquis, and it has a much cushier ride, and unless I am going faster than 65 mph, it’s a lot quieter too. The dealer put a new set of tires on the Lexus, which I am sure are junk. Hopefully the ride gets better when we change them (I always get the best tires that I can for our cars, bc if makes a big difference).
I do feel alot of cracks and bumps in the road with the 20 rims. Do you recommend the premier ltx tires on the 20s, i have the primacys a/s tour. Or move to the 18 rims, with a soft tire?
Ive tried to buy 3 RX 350's and I simply cannot accept the bumpy ride as soon as the car hits a pot hole or even the tiny bumps that seperate the roads. I cant believe how bad the suspension is. Just awul. Nithing like the ES 300 we never felt a thing. Everything is right about this video accept the reality of the rough drive on bumpy roads.
Did this dude say 7 seconds to 60 in an suv is slow? I have a 09 rav4 v6 and it feels hella fast for a soccer moms car lol😂 this has to feel faster being it’s an upgraded of my same engine
@@chrisdrives8204 Hahha I don’t know if mines had some work done to it like everyone that drives it is shocked at the pedal response 😂 for a soccer moms car it moves.
I have a 17 with 120,000 miles. My parents have the 2016 with over 150,000 miles. Both completely problem free. We both have the panoramic roof and triple beam. My 17 has ML audio. They have Lexus premium audio. We both have the 12.5 screens. Sounds equivalent. Either way great vehicle. We have no plans to “upgrade” either.
