Default 2008 rx 350

Picked up this gem today:







Everything works, everything is in great shape. Just over 100k miles but it drives very smoothly and that's with 18 inch tires. Very quiet on the highway. The leather on the driver door is a bit worn and two of the four white gauge needles are burnt out but other than that, it's in fantastic cosmetic shape. No major dings or dents on the outside. The color is attractive although I'm uncertain what it is exactly. Lol

Looks clean!

My RX330 is same color scheme.
Dammit, I noticed today somehow I put a small tear on my dash just above the info display.
It's black dash like yours and hoping I can glue it or something.

If your RX350 doesn't have a newer aftermarket deck with bluetooth, it's easy to do an upgrade on our cars.

Just a bit over 10 grand. It's extremely quiet and smooth. Smoother than my 11 ES350, that's for sure. It's just so relaxing to drive.

This paint color really is incredible. Thoroughly happy with my new (to me) RX.

Got three RX350's - one is 2008 and the other two are 2009. Colors - Red, White and Blue. All bought in 2022. All around the 11K price. All hovering at 100K miles. Also have a 2000 RX300 which is at 208K miles.

Advantage to having three cars of the same model.
  1. Can keep one set of spare parts.
  2. Easy to compare if any detail is fuzzy
  3. Can swap parts for troubleshooting
  4. Besides, the RX300 proved to me how good Lexus is.

Yeah he does, I would like one of his low mileage RX350's.

Haven't found anything clean with low mileage down here in S Fl at a reasonable price so I basically gave up looking for now.

Phil, I used autotrader dot com to find my RX. Almost all the listings are from dealers, not private, though.
A quick search just found an 07 2WD with 69K miles in Del Ray Beach for $12,700.

I had my RX delivered 800 miles to me from Michigan. They, of course, added that to the price, but it was worth it to me.

Hi Spinelli, thank you for heads up.

Maybe there are more for sale now so I will see and check out Autotrader too like you say.
I am no longer interested in private sales because all the car flippers and scammers rolling odometers back on craigslist.

Rather buy something at a car lot with a good reputation like I did with my current RX330 and have always done.
My old 4 Runner I bought from Toyota dealer on the used car side.

PS- Lexus dealer by me has ok cars but they want too much and have a no haggle policy. To me that's like saying "take it or leave it" so I look but always walk away shaking my head. lolol

Hello all! I just purchased a 09 400h base model. Has 151K original miles and only 2 owners, but has been sitting for the better part of a year, so it needs a lot of work, purchased with a VSC error on the panel. I live in Hawaii on the BI on a farm and and always wanted one of these. I will be searching this forum for answers to diagnose and repair the issues.

Not the best way to start an ownership of a car. But if you post some symptoms, such as it does not crank over, starts but immediately dies - stuff like that, we might be able to help you. Post those thing in the regular part of the forum and always tells the year of the car and any part that seems to not be doing its job.
