Thanks for the replies - Rob- very helpful, appreciate it. Think I'll give this one a miss, might have to up the budget or look at 300's

Hello all, First time post, looking to buy an RX350 and after some advice. Found a car that seems to meet all requirements, but a check on the MOT history shows the following advisories on the last MOT. Advisory notice item(s) Parking brake lever has little reserve travel (3.1.6b) rear Brake pad(s) wearing thin (3.5.1g) Power steering pump has slight seepage from a seal (2.3.3b) Power steering pipe(s) or hose(s) has slight seepage (2.3.3b) nearside front lower Suspension arm rubber bush deteriorated but not resulting in excessive movement (2.4.G.2) offside front lower Suspension arm rubber bush deteriorated but not resulting in excessive movement (2.4.G.2) rear Anti-roll bar corroded but not seriously weakened (2.4.G.1) nearside rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is corroded but not considered excessive inner sill (2.4.A.3) offside rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is corroded but not considered excessive inner sill (2.4.A.3) nearside rear Subframe mounting prescribed area is corroded but not considered excessive (2.4.A.3) offside rear Subframe mounting prescribed area is corroded but not considered excessive (2.4.A.3) rear Sub-frame corroded but not seriously weakened (2.4.G.1) I'm not averse to refreshing suspension components on any car of an age and mileage, but the sub-frame corroded bits seem a bit awry for a Lexus. Are these problems common to the model or does this sound like one to avoid (maybe spent it's life on the coast)? My spidey senses are telling me to leave it well alone, but it's the right spec, colour, price etc. Thanks in advance for your thoughts llestik
