Let's hope so, I just recently spent over $2000 dollars to have re-painted to look new, and have the interior re-done and change the burlwood to blackwood.

Haha yup I would never buy one like that. Posted it to show the reliability of rx330s ! and Ohh wow Adam!!! post some pictures of your rx330 later!!!!! thats awesome seems like you spend a lot of money on this car!

For the right price, I'd pull the trigger. LOL, but that's just me. High miles don't scare, especially not on a Toyota. I'd pay up to $9,500 for one with that many miles.

SGLexus

hey hypervish,

this rx330 looked amazing on the pictures. I bet they would do 9500 if you were interested haha lol

thats the one lol I couldn't believe the miles. But I'm taking my accord for appraisal tomorrow! And quick question what do you guys do? sell the car first and then buy or buy and then sell????

Thanks

Trade and save the taxes

Haha, If I could afford the gas for two SUV's, I'd do it in a heartbeat. But, instead I'm looking to buy an ES300. So, that way I'll have one fuel efficient vehicle. LOL

SGLexus

trading is not an option. Due to being private party upgrading to new rx350. Thanks

I would buy new car and sell old vehicle right away....I did just that with my RX300, after buying my RX400h....Craigslist was my friend, but any out like Autotrader etc. would work....

High mileage is nothing for the lexus brand...as long it's been well maintained. Had a sc400 and 95 legend coupe with 200k plus miles and still running great.

SGLexus

Hey guys update actually looking at a 2004 RX330 from a very known dealership it has 144k miles. What should I look for in the car? Anything i should lookout for? Timing belt should have been changed right?

thomas1

Headlight condensation, noisey wheel bearings, and the usual transmission fluid condition...oh and the maintenance records....

RX330inFL

Yes, and it is only 40-50K miles or so from probably needing one, again. Think long term.

SGLexus

haha thats also true. We are debating what we should do. Ive also heard about catalyic converter needing replaced around 160k? not too sure about that. But I just dont want to buy the car and then everything breaks. But car is in amazing condition.

Thanks

hypervish

Catalytic converter's are usually good for the life of the car, as long as it's not burning oil. It's possible for one to fail, but it's not common.

SGLexus

ohh alright good to know! going to go see it tomorrow! man oh man this is a tough choice. Hypervish you think I can get minimum of 60k trouble free miles on it? this one is 04 rx330
