Our 2015 Rx has 82k. Bought it new eight years ago.
Just got back from 3,600 mile trip with no worries.
Plan to keep the car until it gives me reason not to.
But I'm only 66 years old and still have responsibilities.
When I'm 82 I'll be buying a new car every six months.

I bought a 2013 RX AWD with 55k miles, in 2016, (Lexus Certified). I hardly drive these days, but the only things that I have done are replace the battery, replace the front and rear hood shocks and normal oil changes. It still feels and drives like a new car. Got the battery replaced at Walmart, and did the shocks myself (aftermarket +10 minutes labor in total).

I recently purchased a 2016 LS Base with only 35K miles and well maintained per Carfax and Lexus drive. I watched all the you tube videos I could find and decided not to get air suspension if I could as that could be an expensive fix down the road. While I never drove one with air suspension the normal shocks are like riding on a cloud. For this level of high end comfort these cars are amazing even with very high mileage according to this forum and you tube videos. I would never consider a 7 year old vehicle even with low miles by Mercedes, Audi, BMW, Lincoln or Cadillac. Enjoy your new Ride!

FYI you posted in the wrong forum for your vehicle. This is the RX forum and you just bought an LS.

Well, I bought a used 2015 RX350 AWD with over 170k miles to use as my household SUV to replace an older 2006 Cadillac Escalade AWD with over 280k miles. So far the Lexus RX350 is running very well(like new) even with its high mileage. I only notice that it does seem to have a slight seepage from the front timing cover seal just under the oil line banjo bolt(common defect problem) in which Valvoline high mileage oil(have seal conditioner) seem to have reduced over the last two oil changes. The rest of the engine is bone dry.

My advice would be to keep the RX350 as long as you can. The only real major repair to prepare for on a high mileage RX350 would probably be the front timing cover if the seepage become bad enough to leave oil on the ground after it is driven, however high quality high mileage oil with seal conditioners may keep that problem at bay. Seepage does not require a full on repair, but a real leak does. So prepare to save up for the repair just in case the seepage does become worst.

Even with a front timing cover repair, it would be cheaper to just keep the old RX350 than to paid thousands to buy a newer one.

@BEARCATJER - just sell it to me. My 2011 has about 172K miles. I got it from a dealer in 2015 as CPO when it had 72K miles. I just realized that I had added 100K miles in eight years.

For the price I paid in 2015, ignoring time value of money, I can only get maybe a brand new Corolla today. I did reserve a Cybertruck as a YOLO car when I retire.
