[doc-kash]

Hi

i am new to the forum.i am planning to buy a 2002 rx300 which is in mint condition and has 78000 km on it.

wat shud i check in the car while buying and how can u tell if the car is AWD OR FWD?all opinions will be highly appreciated.

check transmission fluid, make sure it's bright pink and doesn't smell burned.

FWD models will have a "TRAC OFF" button under the heated seat buttons on the center console (next to the cig lighter) and the AWD models will not have any switch in that location, just a blank panel. Or... you could look under the car for a rear drive shaft.

Just to make sure, the RX you want to buy is the 99-03 generation, correct? In other countries the US 04-09 generation was released as a 2003 model and earlier... is your avatar image of the one you want to buy? Because that image is of the newer generation, not the US rx300...
