Sorry for all the pics. Got excited w/ the file space available in this forum vs. others. Included my other "toy" (2004 350Z Turbonetics single turbo 393 whp) hope you don't mind. Rims = Sport Max 962 Gold 18 X 8.5 Tires = Toyo Proxes 255/50/18

When does the auxiliary fan kick on? Also, at what point of the gauge should I start to worry (i.e. stop to let it cool down)? We go to Palm Springs frequently were temps 2 weeks ago was 121 degrees. Thanks ALL!!!

Just my 2nd day on a used 1999 RX300. I noticed that the coolant temp is in the middle of the gauge without going over. However, I'm used to my other cars (Nissan Z & Honda Accord) that has a running temp 1/3 of the gauge. Is this normal for the RX300? Does the RX300 have overheating issues? Thanks!

I just ordered these rims for my 2WD Gold RX300. What do you think? PICS BELOW......... http://sportmaxwheel.com/sportmax_962.shtml

I have a RX300 & have seen the 330 rims in ebay. Would you think these setup w/ the 255 would fit my 300? Looks good BTW. Thanks!!!

No this is a privately owned car. However, ever since it was bought by the owner it has been serviced by Glendale Lexus every 5K miles. No extended warranty included that is why I'll have it inspected to make sure.....I hope. so is this car is being sold at glendale? is it a CPO car? or will there be some sort of 3rd party warranty included in the sale? your chances are better with a dealer-serviced car, but still...

Thanks for the quick replies. I called Lexus of Glendale (where the car has historically been serviced) & scheduled a complete vehicle inspection ($230) prior to purchase. What items should I watch out for???

I'm about to buy a 1999 RX300 with 87000 miles for $12K (which I thought was a good buy per KBB). It is 2WD & has been dealer maintained every 5K miles. However, after reviewing a lot of transmission issue comments (etc) in this forum I am now having second thoughts. Am I doomed???? :( :( I plan to see the car this weekend & would appreciate any advice on what to look or watch out for. I know that it will be due a 90K maint. soon & the timing belt needs to be changed. Thanks ALL!!!

I'm in the process of buying as well. What is the difference between 01-02's vs 99-00? Thanks!!!
