My new 20 year-old

I had been looking for a used SUV from a private seller, not wanting a car note, given the ridiculous state of used car prices from dealers these days. My very non-scientific way of figuring out what was worth considering (along with reading the great professional reviews here on Edmunds, thank you) was the fact that I kept seeing so many of these still on the road, which says a lot considering Atlanta traffic. Found my '03 RX 300 on FB this past October- 189k miles for $3700. I may be still in honeymoon mode, but this car has been everything I hoped for and more! Was very well-maintained; I think I am 3rd owner from being originally purchased new from a local Lexus dealership. Still drives like new, higher clearance making it so easy to get in and out of, and the kicker being that it is a luxury SUV-that runs on regular gas! Surprised that more reviewers have not commented on that. Toyota definitely put their best ideas and execution into this one. They make it easy to be loyal to their brand-as long as they keep putting out products that prove to have top quality for the consumer's needs and longstanding value at the forefront.

244,000+ miles and it still runs and rides great! Replaced the oxygen sensor once but otherwise only routine maintenance.

I've had it for 1 1/2 years and have loved every minute of it. This is the 2nd SUV I've owned and the other one didn't come close to this one. So far I've I had great gas mileage for an SUV (22.5)-that's almost as good as my last CAR! It is worth the price.

This SUV is more about looks and dependability versus comfort and roominess. We (a family of 4) feel crowded in ours. Two car seats, a diaper bag, book bag, a gym bag, a stroller in back, plus 2 adults make this SUV feel very confined. If the adults have the seats adjusted to perfect comfort levels, then the kids can barely get in the back seat. Plus, there is only one cup holder, low to the ground in the back that the kids fight over, if and when they can reach it from there car seats.
