Default Interested in buying my first Lexus RX350

hi, I found this forum and hoping you folsk can help. I am going to go lookat this one today. I currently have an 02 Escalade, but am ready to go Lexus. Would love to know your thoughts on this vehicle and what to ask/watch out for, as well as the price.
thanks!

Looks like a good deal to me, but I'm new here. However, I particularly like the fact the car was purchased and serviced at the same dealer. So they should have no problem providing you with a complete service history on the spot, don't let them tell you otherwise. New tires, alignment are important.

Personally, I would consider the White Hybrid '06. It has more options and a better price, more mileage mind you.

NOOOO!!! This is a base model with no Nav, heated seats, or even HID headlights. And its only front wheel drive. I bought a fully loaded 2007 All wheel drive with everything including NAV and DVD rear screen and only 45,000 miles a year ago for just a little more. There are MUCH better deals out there, especially since the 2010 redesign has lowered the value on the 07-09 slightly.

Look around and you will see the difference.

Thanks adamjeeps. Silly of me to "assume" it at least had heated seats. I'm not in a huge rush so I will continue to look. Thanks!

One cool thing about buying a used Lexus is that ANY Lexus shop can pull up the service history of ANY Lexus. So if you see one online that has the VIN listed, give your local Lexus shop a call or visit and they can pull it up. It is a nation-wide database! Of course, it only reports what was done by Lexus shops and sometimes the work descriptions are not as complete as they could be.
