Bought Used - First Used Car Investment I've Loved

Decided to let someone else take the depreciation hit of a new car for a change. Bought this in 2017 with 84,000 miles. Some said I was crazy. I have 103,000 miles on it now and it rides like new. My buddy had a 2003 with almost 300,000 miles and felt it was good for 500,000, except an accident (rear ender) ended the RX's life. Service costs have been very reasonable (rear struts for $400...a German brand would have been $1,200), new battery, which failed a year later and was replaced under warranty, new serpentine belt, new tires (recommend General Altimax...on all 3 of our cars) and a few other regular maintenance items. It has little tech compared to my former 2014 Genesis, yet its comfortable and reliable. Lexus service is top notch, although I've found one dealer to be better than the other. One cautionary note, which may apply to any car with a CD-changer. NEVER use a phone mount that secures in the CD slot. I did and accidentally hit the CD eject button, which started a repeated eject cycle and the slot being blocked eventually burned out part of the radio so only the steering wheel controls work now. Lesson learned, and a $1,000 bill to replace. The dealer will look on the used market for me, and meanwhile I do have sound...just no knob controls.

Great car, best car I have ever driven. Easy to drive, just the right technology, not too many gadgets! Outstanding in bad weather when placed in Snow Mode.

I have had my Lexus for a year now. Purchased used it looked brand new. Beautiful vehicle - I get compliments all the time. Great acceleration, quiet, safe, not very good gas mileage... I love everything about it except the navigation! Okay around town but on long trips totally worthless; tells me to exit highway on almost every off ramp, tells me to turn around when I know I’m going in the correct direction. Honestly, this system could easily cause an accident and will, at the very least, raise your blood pressure. Bluetooth also cuts out which is very annoying. My mechanic says it’s a great car and I agree, just happy I didn’t buy it new and pay extra for horrible navigation. I am 63 and hope to have this car until I either die or move to Mexico - whichever comes first.

This vehicle was my 3rd Lexus and second RX. It is a very dependable car and I haven't had any problems other than unreliable Bluetooth connections. The dealer says it's the phone, Apple says it's the vehicle. I can connect and stay connected everywhere else so I'm blaming the vehicle. That's my only problem and it's intermittent so you know how that goes.

Pros: extremely reliable, I bought this car new for 8 years now and 112K miles. Zero problem. Comparing to 2000 BMW 528i, the problem arise as soon at first month and every other months for 4 years. This was German's most reliable car for 2000. Can't imagine on other German cars. Transmission fluid service ($10/quart plus $45 labor) is much cheaper than 2016 Honda Pilot Touring (9 speed) for $500. Just change oil, tires, brake pads and brake fluids and the ride is still awesome. Con: once a while the back seats have rattling noises on concrete roads around North Texas. Something with the rivets and dealer attempted to fix it once. The noise came back less frequent but I can tolerate this noise.
