Welcome aboard! If you google Lexus CPO vehicles, it will basically tell you everything you need to know about the cars they sell. Only selected vehicles can be certified and has to be less than 70,000 miles in the odometer. Yes you absolutely can ask for a checklist and history of repair of that given car from the Lexus dealer. We just bought our CPO vehicle (RX 350 2012) and so far had good and bad experience with it but our Lexus dealer made it right. Read "bouncy ride" on this forum to give a feedback on my experience. The manager told me again yesterday that he's got our backs for 3 years or 100K mies or whatever comes first. Good luck! Nowie

We just got back from the Lexus dealer today to access the bouncy ride from our RX 350. We asked the service manager to take a road trip with us so he can evaluate the car. He asked us to leave the car with him for a few hours and gave us a new 2015 RX for the day as a loaner. This will give us a chance to compare the difference in the ride since we told him we did not take a new one for a test drive. Our bad!!! Trusted the Certified cars too much. Took the new RX for a ride and as advertised it rode like a LEXUS, like "butter". Now we know we were not crazy because this is what a Lexus is all about.Granted they changed the "boring" quiet ride of their cars to be more like the the European/German hug the road type of car, it should still be an enjoyable ride. Greg called us a few hours later and said that the two rear shocks are leaking and needs to be replaced. Picked up the car a few a hours later and "Bouncy" rode as good and quiet as the new 2015 RX he loaned us. Just disappointed that they miss the problem when they certified our vehicle .

We live in the Buffalo area and we are getting pounded with snow this year but our RX performs well on the road. Just spoke with my sister today who happens to have the same SUV we have and she has not experienced the bouncy feeling in her car since she always drive it and not the passenger. Interestingly, she went out to dinner with some friends who happens to drive an RX also last week and was picked up at her house and they rode in the back seat. She claims it was pretty bouncy specially when going over some bumps. She thought something is wrong with the car (thinking needs new tires) but did not want to comment .

I used to drive a Toyota Avalon Limited 06 with 17" tires. The tires on my RX is the Goodyear Sport 235/60 R18 size.

We just bought a certified 2012 RX 350 last month. The car has 31,000 miles and in great shape. The tires are also new. We loved everything about the car except the bouncy feel ride especially felt on the passenger's side. Unfortunately we test drove the car only for 10-15 miles and had no issues at that time. We just went for a road trip for 120 miles yesterday and my wife felt the bouncy feel ride more prevalent than ever before. I thought that you do not experience this in a Lexus!!! Granted it is not a brand new car , they do go through the certified car with a fine tooth comb.We called the dealer and they want us to bring the car back so they can evaluate the issue. My sales guy thinks it could be anything from struts, shock absorders and etc. He said there were no known problem with the car but they will stand by their warranty. Any feedback ??? Thanks in advance. Noel
