Just bought a 2005 RX 330 for my 16 year old daughter. It has 162,000 miles on it and is in great shape. Most maintenance was done at the dealership. Cost $8000. Do you all think that was a good deal. My husband is disagreeing with me. Just wanted a few opinions. Thanks!

Price sounds a little high for an 05. Depending on condition of course.
Make sure the timing belt was replaced.

Maybe you can negotiate with the dealer down to $7000.

The RX has been bought. You can create your account at the Lexus website and input your VIN and you can see the history of the car whenever it was taken to a Lexus dealer. Also tells you recall work performed. A little assurance that the RX will serve your daughter right.
