Hey Guys ..

I'm looking at buying a used RX350, but can't decide on a year. I'm looking for an AWD, fully loaded (nav, ML) RX with under 40k miles. Just enough that I can purchase the extended warranty for piece of mind. I'd rather get the right fit rather than keeping a hard budget (I'll pay extra if it's worth it).

I'm a previous Lexus LS430 owner, and am now looking at luxury mid-size SUVs. I dont care much for the off-roading, but seeing that I live in Ohio, I was hoping that someone could also chime in on its snow handling.

I'm also looking at the Acura RDX and the Infiniti FX35, but I'm very partial to Lexus . A part of me can't get over how much better a touchscreen nav is than a non-touchscreen version.

Thanks for any input!

All the 2007-2009 are basically all the same. Might be hard to find the Levinson audio and air suspension as these are somewhat rare. I found mine at Carmax and am willing to risk not having an extended warranty. Remember, the powertrain is covered until 70,000 miles. I bought mine with 45,000 miles and had a few things fixed under the basic warranty for those remaining 5,000 miles. You can also go to the My Lexus website and enter the VIN # and get all the service that was done at the Lexus dealers. There is a ton of info here if you search.

Good luck!

If you buy CPOs, it already comes with 3 years / 100K miles warranty!

In terms of Nav...Acura is better as they do not block nav entry when the car is moving...FX35 is like is horrible using the "wheel"

There's always an override.

Any wheel based navigation is horrible. I have an Audi right now, and it's painful!

Get a LEXUS CPO or else the youngest year (with lots of original warranty) you can get at your budget. CPO's will add $2K to the purchase price.

Acura and Infiniti....nah...Lexus!
