Mr Vlad 281 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Hi Simon. Yes the RX300 is a rare beast plus it's an old model. They'll all have high miles but don't despair. If the car has been looked after then it'll be a good car for many more years. Because of the ages of those cars you'll probably have to look at the suspension parts as they'll probably need doing. If you're getting one with a full lexus service history then it'll be a good car. If it isn't then do look at getting the car looked at at a garage you know and trust and be prepared to spend a good few hundred on brakes and suspension bushes etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you can live with that they are a joy to own. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
