Hello i was originally trying to get a 4runner i had everything ready but the salesperson never took the keys out of the lockbox and it got sold it was a 2022 silver sr5 premium 4wd for 36k i kept looking for one like that but they were all like 40k so i kind of gave up on that model.

I was looking at cars online a came to this 2021 rx 350 with 40k miles for 34k test drove it and purchased it i was honest with myself i live in south Florida there are NO trails near me and this would be way more comfortable than a 4runner.

Dealer changed the tires before putting up for sale but they put these horrible Laufenn tires they brand new but are super stiff and make noise at highway speeds will be replacing them in a year or less
So far i have added all weather liners tinted ceramic front windows and planning on getting a hitch for my bike rack
@MrRoboto Congratulations! Just a thought, if you have not already done so,check your tire pressure, it should be 33 psi. Use a good accurate gauge.

Default Longtime lurker, time for an introduction

About 6 months ago I bought a CPO 2022 RX350 F Sport, in Atomic Silver. LOVE this thing!

I've also seen a number of mentions that "F Sport seats aren't comfortable" or "too stiff", etc... I must be in the minority because I find them SUPER comfortable. If it matters, I'm a quite sturdy individual - 6'4" @ ~300lbs. The bolsters keep me in place quite nicely in the twisties (Sport+ really makes a difference!).

Anyway - I've been browsing this forum for quite a while (several months before purchase too), and have felt guilty for not saying Hello or Thank You for the great info shared here.

Only mods so far are a wireless Carplay adapter, tints, and a ProClip USA mount for my phone.

I've also got a 2021 GX460 that the wife primarily drives, and we love to death, but this RX has me wanting to drive all the time.

Ciao!

Default Pre owned 2022

Hi all!

After selling my 2007 RX to a friend, I just purchased a certified pre-owned 2022 Lexus RX with 14,000 miles. I wanted the smooth 6 cylinder. Love it!

Default 2021 rx 350

Hi all! In July, 2023 we bought a preowned 2021 RX 350 with Premium package. Our previous vehicle was a leased 2021 BMW x3 plug-in hybrid. The BMW was great in NY, but after moving to Florida, the heat seemed to affect its performance. The RX 350 is a solid car and hopefully will last for a long time. Unfortunately the gas mileage with the RX doesn't compare with the mileage we got with the BMW. The tires were new on the car, but seem to not be as quiet as they were when we first got the car. I'm sure the dealer didn't put the best tires on and we will have to replace them sooner than we'd like. We've put about 17,000 miles on the RX and the only issue we've been having is intermittent rattles in the dashboard. It seems like it could possibly be the AC vents. Has anyone else had this issue?

Welcome and congrats. We bought a CPO 21 RX 350 - no premium package in December and are also in Florida. Agree that it is a very solid car and we love it. Our dealer also put new tires on the car; mid-level Goodyears. We have been getting about 22 mpg in mostly city driving.. We just got back from an 1800 mile trip to Boone, NC and averaged 29.2 mpg on regular gas. No rattles but make sure you don't have anything in the sunglasses holder in the overhead console. Anything in there rattles and you would swear it is from the dashboard. Best wishes.

Thanks for the welcome! Good luck and best wishes with your RX. Ours is CPO as well. Is yours FWD? Ours is AWD and I don't think I'm getting the mileage you are. We haven't kept track of the mileage; all I know is that we're always at the gas station! We have nothing in the overhead console and hear the rattles in the dashboard. I believe our dealer put on the same Goodyear tires you have.
