How To Tell Rx300 Is Awd By Vin

[ziffle2000]

I will be purchasing a used 1999 RX300 in the next few weeks. I have come across some individuals on the internet that claim their vehicle is AWD but I have my suspicions. In looking at them at the dealer, the salesperson would always refer to the VIN to determine if the car was AWD. I should have asked him then but didn't.

What do I look for in the VIN to determine the RX300 is AWD??

Thanks!

the fourth letter is a H = 4WD G = 2 WHEEL DRIVE

EX ..JT6HF = 4WD

You have until dec 31st to get a 99 from a lexus dealer that is certified. After that 00 is the oldest

A quick look at the inside of either rear wheel will confirm AWD or not. AWD will have a CV joint/boot and driveshaft entering the center of both rear wheels.

I prefer using this lexus vin decoder, simply paste the vin there
I found my AWD IS this way, check the "Drive Type"
For example, JTHCK262672011965 is AWD, and JTHBF5C20C5171211 is RWD (4x2)
