Thanks for the replies - especially Jonthebarber. That car is only down the road from me. Priced a bit above budget but then again, what's a budget for if not to be broken!
I think i might take a closer look!
Cheers

Hello
I am seriously thinking that a Lexus RX300 should be my next car and would greatly appreciate any advice from members and current RX owners.
I don't believe in spending a fortune on cars. A ten-plus year old car that has been looked after can be a great move in my experience,
There seem to be quite a few 2000/2001/2002/2003 RX300 examples for sale at anything between £2000 and £4000 - and in the pictures some of them look absolutely fabulous, as good as new.
At that sort of age and budget, which cars should I be considering? The pre-2003 models or the 2003-on version? Personally I like the look of the older car better!
What are the key things to look out for? Are there any common failings? Is a cambelt service expensive?
My previous car was a Volvo estate which got to 18 years old and 300,000 miles. The secret of it's success was that it was really well engineered and that I drove it sensibly and looked after it. Could I expect similar service from an RX300?
Any and all hints and advice sincerely appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Cheers

No, I've not bought one yet.
The pale blue one is still for sale at 123 Doncaster - or it was yesterday, because I went to see it and have a test drive.
It is indeed a very handsome car, and it drove beautifully. Apparently it did sell once but the buyer changed his mind.
Not sure if it's the one for me as I'm considering a few options, but all credit to the previous owners, and to 123 Doncaster. It's a very nice car, and the dealer is presenting it very well.
Cheers
