Should I buy a 2013 RX350 with 130,000 miles?
Wondering what your thoughts are on a 130,000 mile single owner 2013 RX350.
CarFax is clean, only issue is the high mileage.
It's an average of 22,000 miles per year.
There's no service history on the car other than an inspection in 2018.
Also, 37,400 miles have been put on the car since in 15 months. This person must be driving highway miles.
I'm gonna go test drive it today and hopefully get more info. I would love to know your thoughts. CarFax below.
Thanks,

I would not worry about the miles, assuming the price is right and it's in good condition. I just upgraded to a 2011 with 147k miles and it's like new with all the Lexus records.
How much are they asking? It will probably need a major tune up to include new plugs. Lexus dealer will charge you about $1200 for tuneup and all fluids change. Be ready since you have NO proof that its been done.

You can also go to the Lexus owner website and register it and then you can look up the specs and service history. The manuals and build specifications are available there also.
That price is not bad but if you have to put $2000 in it, it could change things.

Thanks for the tip on looking up the service history. Just found out that they had the car serviced at a lexus dealership every 5,000 miles. Perfect history. Old retired couple owned it and used it to visit their grandkids. Car is practically brand new besides the mileage.

I just picked up a 13 with 86,500 on it for $17,500 last week. Vehicle was in good shape. A few paint scratches but nothing major. Interior was in excellent shape. Looks like no one even rode in the rear seats and nothing was loaded in the cargo area.
I washed, clay bared, polished and waxed it last weekend and it looks outstanding.

that is not high miles for this vehicle. it's just breaking-in. it's a lexus rx! one of the most reliable vehicles on the road. i bet if you drive it, it drives like new. if it doesn't get the tires rotated and balanced and re-check! bargain and a half!

Thanks for everyone's feedback. I test drove the car and bought it on the spot. It was immaculate. Retired couple used it to visit their grand kids two hours away at least twice a week. Nothing but highway miles and serviced every 5,000 miles at a Lexus dealership.
It drove like new and is seriously the best keep RX I've seen so far.

I would not dwell on that thought. You have made the purchase and at this time, simply enjoy your ride. Also note the vehicel precise are dependent on the local market. A great deal in one part of the country may be a bad deal in another city/state. If it is anew purchase, you can compare prices, but for a used vehicle, it is very hard to reach a common base value.
