I know that Lexus is better quality wise, but it is kinda boring to drive, compared to BMW. I drove couple of miles in X3 and was sold I don't know if it was stupid to thing to do, to prefer BMW over Lexus - time will tell No not stupid at all. If thats the car you liked then thats fine. They're totally different the RX3oo and the X3. The RX series is probably one of the least "sporty" mid-size SUV out there (drive wise). Thats not its target. Its target is comfort and quiteness. People who prefer a tighter , more responsive drive generally don't liek the RX300 and vice-versa, its all just about what you want. Thanks. Thats pretty much what i was thinking :)

I like the styling, it's unorthodox, but aggressive. My wife dislikes the ride - too harsh for her, but i love it and that motor sound......

Ended up getting 2004 BMW x3. Hope i won't regret it :)

Thanks for your reply. It's black/black (i don't like dark colors either, but there are only 3 certified Rx300s 2003 in 75 miles radius from NYC (for one of them they want $29,000 and the other one was abused). Out of the door it is $25.5.

Hi all I'm thinking of buying the abovementioned with approx. 50K for $23.3. It's a certified pre-owned from lexus delaer, looks and drives great. What do you think of the price? It seem to be a little too expensive, but apparently these cars are hard to come by. Yesterday i searched for used RX300 '03 on ebay and the search came up with 4 cars all over US! I'm monitoring craigslist, but for the last two month there were 2 '99 and one '01 with 100K from private sellers. I'm not looking at curbside dealers ads. Do you think it worth it? From reading around here i understand that 2003 is pretty much trouble-free car. Thank you.
