Re: 2010 RX Vs 09/08/07 CPO [vollyf]
Let me start by saying they have all been very quiet. I was most impressed with the quitness of the 1999 rx 300. I think because it was my first Lexus. I had the 2000 rx 300, 2003 rx 300, and 2005 rx 330 all of which were quiet.. The 2008 and 2010 rx 350's with the 3.5 liter engine is a bit noisier at cold start up. Hope this helps. ... Read More

Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I need to make ... Read More

Strut Mounts
My 2005, Rx 330, with 68K needs the strut mounts replaced. The local Lexus dealership already replaced the struts, which was covered by warranty, as the vehicle had below 50K at the time. I'm thinking the dealership should cover the strut mounts? Does anyone have any information for me to use as ammo?

RX330 2005 - irregular ac and groaning noise from fan at high
I just bought a lexus RX 330 2005 with 60,000Km (certified by the Lexus dealer) . I find it has wierd AC behaviour. It was very hot two days ago, around 33 degrees celsius (90 F) and the AC was fluctuating between very cold air and mild cold all the time. The cold air output was not sufficient to cool the car confortably. Both sides were on LO and I tried ... Read More

Re: 2006 Lexus RX330 AWD [ranajo]

2005 and later are the more refined, preferred years of that body style from what I read. 2004 was the first year. All first year models, even Lexus, have some "less refined" issues, whether quality or just stuff they improved upon.

Re: (2005) RX 330 Engine/Cabin Noise [yyy]
The car has the Michelin (tires), which I'm not certain if it makes any difference. It makes a very big difference. The Goodyears are the main culprit.

Sounds like you got a good one. Maybe the Canadian built ... Read More

Mine is loaded with everything but the Navigation and the Rear Entertainment Center. Paid $38,500 + 900. for the Chrome Wheels. Plus they gave me $1,000 over blue book on my trade in. Even got that teflon protective seal for ... Read More

Good deal or not?
I was at Stevens Creek Lexus in SJ today dealing with the internet dept. They quoted me a price of $38,857 (before tax & lic) for a 2005 RX 330 with Premium Plus pkg. It was $1300 over invoice according to Cars Direct info. I did not want Navigation or Mark Levinson pkg's. Is this good or kind of high?

Re: Has anyone seen/purchased a Japan built 2005 RX330? [sandimas3]
Re: Do you have any idea if there is any difference/changes between the 2 plants? I don't think so, but don't know for sure. BTW, I bought my 05 rx330 FWD with nav on Tuesday night, too. I guess we contributed to Lexus best ever 3rd quarter in which they sold 7,525 units of RX 330! (http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/041001/laf048_1.html)

Re: 2005 RX 330 [dorothyk]
"According to my local dealer, the EPA mileage for the 2005 Lexus RX330 has been reduced by 1 mpg compared to the 2004 models. Although the dealer did not have an explanation, I wonder if this reduction is a result of changes made to the computer-controlled transmission to improve acceleration and remove the transmission lag some people have complained about." Does anyone have more info about this?

Thanks to All; couple questions
who posted information. Still haven't decided to buy, but all the information I've gotten has been great from you all! I don't think I'm going to wait for the 400h if I buy ... may wait for the 2005 330s though ... even though there won't be THAT much difference (probably none). Maybe a transmission adjustment (slight?). I think I like the Millenium Silver with the Gray leather interior. Other Options ... Read More

No RX for me!
I had been anxiously awaiting the release of the exciting new RX330 since October (notice my user ID). I was tired of "boxy" SUVs that lacked performance, handling, luxury and were just no fun to drive. It was time to move up. I listed my 2002 Ford Explorer for sale, submitted my application to LFS and took my place at the top of my local dealer's priority list. I COULDN'T WAIT! ... Read More
