Hi all,
Just picked-up a 2004 AWD, Silver w/Graphite + Nav.
21k miles on it, Certified Lexus Warranty(3yrs/100K). Paid 33k. Pretty-much spotless.
Seems like the only option not there is the rear seat entertainment system.
Happy with it so far. It's for the wife (mostly).
It looks like there is some good info here. I'm gonna get reading.
Regards,
Patrick

Welcome and congratulations. Just a note, your original warranty will probably expire soon (4yrs/50k miles). Most 04 RX's were serviced early/mid 2003. Lexus will cater to you like you won't believe if you're still under the orig warranties, so drive it as much and look for any issues. The CPO warranties are great for major items and your peace of mind, but TSB's and minor adjustments are not covered. I hope you enjoy your car.

Welcome fellow RIer. I have the same car, features, and year. It's reassuring to know that they hold their value so well.
The only advice is to make sure the various recalls were done. The 2004 had some issues that they fixed, such as the brake booster replacement, brake switch replacement, rear wiper spring assembly, a kit to make a rattle go away in the dashboard (if thats a problem), a firmware upgrade to the computer which makes it shift MUCH better, etc.
You'll find that service quality and price greatly vary in the local market. After trying another local dealer who clearly shouldnt be in business(don't get me started ha), Herb Chamber's Lexus was/is the clear winner. Lexus of Northborough is pretty good, too.

I also purchased 2004 silver blue RX330 / manufactured in Japan.
It had 38K and I paid $25900 for it. Mine was also pretty much in mint condition.
No Nav here but it has most options and I’m happy with it.
Well, congrat and welcome to the club!
