I trust everyone here is very knowledgable with Lexus. So, I've been going back and forth with a dealer on a 2009 Lexus RX350 that has 21k miles on it - comes with nav and premium package. This will not be CPO (certified preowned). Car was traded in by previous owner (not a lease).
Anyhow, I got a mechanic to take a little look at it and he said that the "rack and pinion" near passangers side is seeping oil and needs to be removed and replaced. He is estimating around $500 to fix. I am thinking this is not a common problem for a 21k mile car from what I've heard. Should I be worried? Could this be a sign of future issues? I appreciate ANY feedback.
Also, is it normal for the ride on this car to be a little bouncy?
