Which Used Lexus RX
I know this question has been asked but I wanted a fresh opinion for 2021.
Looking to purchase some sorta used RX around 120k miles. Which model is the most reliable around these miles (330, 350, 400h)?
Additionally, do RX400h batteries last? Looking at 2 that have around 120k miles. What should I stay away from/go towards.
TIA

Probably any of the 3 if they've been well-maintained. Records are the key.
Ideally, you want a 1-owner, no accidents, regular service done at the dealer (rather than Jiffy Lube).
It's going to be hard to find a 330 with under 120K miles, too.
I have no experience with the 400h, so I can't speak to the battery's longevity.

I agree, any of the three as long as it was maintained. Would even consider a higher mileage well cared for vehicle for any of those vs low mileage little maintenance. The age of the vehicle is really becoming a key factor as even little driven RX's will need maintenance.
But I would lean towards the 350, of the three it is to me the best in reliability (no timing belt, no hybrid battery, solid powertrain) and cost. Not saying it's perfect, it has its issues but from owning a 330 myself and maintaining numerous Highlanders for family (350 powertrain), I like the 350 best.

Pole Position
X2 on a 350, but if you find a 330 w/ the options/color your looking for, I wouldn't turn it down. Being over ten years for a hybrid battery, I'd pass.....But quite a lot of them are still going, just need to take into account of a replacement battery cost later on vs the additional fuel costs. I'd also be looking at 150-170k as well. Have a look at the records as you know.....Main thing on a 2gr is to replace the oil cooler hoses w/ metal ones, Dorman offers them...3mzr your looking at a t/b.....

The RX350 is solid all-around. If you are getting one from online or second hand, skip it if not dealer maintained. And of course check for rust underneath regardless of where you find it. But I assume you live near a beach and know to check for rust
