Good Value for the Money

This is the first used car purchase I've made. After having spent less than half of what I would have paid for the same new model, I don't think I will be spending absurd amounts of money on a new car again. The Lexus had low miles and was still under warranty, which allowed me to have some cosmetic issues repaired. You can't go wrong buying a used Lexus because the performance and reliability are great and the company stands behind its products.

I love my RX 350

I have been wanting a RX350 for a while.... finally my Honda was getting old and I decided Im going to purchase what I really want!! I am so glad I did. I test drove it and fell in love!!! I immediately took a road trip and drove 9 hours straight by myself. I didn't want to stop, but had to for gas that's how smooth my ride was!! I love my RX350... wouldn't trade it for ANYTHING else!! The Maintenance is expensive but that's the price you pay for Luxury!!

Nice SUV for relaxing drive

Bought this SUV 6 months ago as a CPO. Prior to this one had another 08 RX, which developed nasty rattles. This one is made in Japan (the only color of RX that is made in Japan: Brandywine mica...all other colors represent RX made in Canada)...big difference in built quality: solid feel, steering is more solid on center. I like almost everything in this car: many comfort features standard compared to other luxury brands, like auto-dimming side mirrors, cornering xenon lights... The pickup is great compared to the earlier versions (RX300 and RX330)...we also have an 01 RX300 with over 100K on it and it is still comfortable to drive, but the pickup on the RX350 is much improved, this car never feels underpowered. Fuel economy is very commendable for an AWD SUV with 3.5L V6: I get 18-19mpg average and up to 28mpg on highway only. What do I wish for this car to improve? Make rear-view camera standard, not only with the NAV system; have power-folding mirrors; better sounding base audio system (my 01 RX beats this one by a mile in sound quality (base audio as well). This is not a sports-oriented SUV like FX35 or a Porsche Cayenne, but the handling and ride is more than good enough for everyday driving (having owned Infiniti prior, it does handles better, but you can forget about 19mpg with spirited driving...more like 10-12mpg :-))

Sharp and Smooth Quiet Ride

I went from an 05 RX330 to an RX350, both being certified used. No complaints with either and the most comfortable ride I've ever owned. Blind spots are probably my very only negative comment. Tall people are not as cozy as I am probably at my 5 foot 6inches tall. Price high...but so is quality.

Excellent Family SUV

This SUV is excellent for family hauling.....to me the best feature is the auto open/close of trunk with remote & the back-up camera makes reversing a breeze.

08 Lexus RX350

Great car, and will enjoy for years. Mrs liked her Camry, even after the crash. Like a vehicle I can "walk" in to.

Lexus 2008 RX 350

My second RX. Wish I'd bought AWD instead of FWD. Only other things I would like are a more accurate and flexible NAV system and more storage capacity.

great car

owned rx 300 and es300 traded rx for rx350 an update liked the change in body style great car took car to florida and got around 23 miles to the gallon, not bad for all wheel drive. I also love the fact that lexus pickes up the car for all services and leaves us with a rental cost free
