To Buy Or Not To Buy


Recommended Posts

I have the opportunity to buy a pre-owned '99 RX300, but have been reading some of the concerns others have had and I concerned that coupled with the lack of customer service from Lexus, I may be buying a headache. The vehicle has 102,000 miles and I would be a second owner. Are there suggestions for what I can look for to be aware of problems?

Transmission fluid color and smell, and engine oil history change. Also was the timing belt changed at 90k miles....

Please check the transmission. Start the engine cold and see if it shifts through the gears smoothly. The timing belt may need to be changed. See if the owner has a service ticket the timing belt change.
