LS430 Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Hi! I was wondering. Should I buy a 2001 RX300? My friend has a 2002 rx300 coach edition. Its really nice! Should I get one? Im looking to spend 25,000 and under. And plus, what is the a coach edition? Is it better? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mailrail Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 I recently bought a 2000 RX 300 with 53K miles for about $21K. Great deal, but it's in the shop right now awaiting a new engine. :o Luckily for me, I bought a Certified vehicle, so the repairs will be completely paid for by Lexus. If you buy one, do some research into the vehicle's maintenance history. If you're not sure whether the oil changes were done on schedule and the vehicle is not certified, then tread lightly.

PharmGuy Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Heya LS430, I picked up a CPO 2001 RX-300 with 54K in Oct 2003. Paid approx $27,000, but I had them do the 60K mileage service before I took the vehicle. I'm not real sure what the Coach Edition is, I've seen some SilverSports with the nicer grille work, but the Coach maybe is classier in the interior. Also, mailrail---- it's semi-glad to see Lexus is covering the engine replacement. That's one of the reasons I wanted a CPO, really wanted a Lexus with some assurances that it's been cared for. If you get a chance, drop a note, I've never had an problems-but would be interested on how they treated you, since it's a CPO. Back to LS430---definitely get the service records on the vehicle, if the dealership is willing to show you it's been well serviced, that's a major plus. Good Luck, PharmGuy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rx300_coach Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 i've also got an 02' coach edition and it's awesome...very reliable, decent power, interior is GORGEOUS...and best of all it isn't Huge like many other luxury SUVs. I say go for it. btw the coach edition was a 'package' offered that included things like special wood grain trim(birds eye maple), Honeycomb grille, better leather interior, and little things here and there...and of course the coach edition badges.

Rx300_coach Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Wow, i have never seen an all white coach edition...go for it if it's in decent shape.... I am really happy with mine(i've got that charcoal-ish colour) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kws23 Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Does the Coach Edition come with a Coach carry-on bag? I looked at a CPO and it did not. I told the dealer that I was sure a bag is included, and he said there was not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisalew Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 I thought all RX's have coach leather??????? Lisalew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rx300_coach Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 i did not receive a carry on bag with my coach edition. Just a first aid kit in the rear...but i think that comes with all Rx's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
