I'm also coming from an RX300 (2001) to a 2005 RX330. Even tough is a better looking vehicle I must say I liked the RX300 better. The quality of the RX330 is not that great. The dash rattles, water gets inside the lights, the whole car feels like a pick up truck, the center console doesn't have any use, the combination air conditioning navigation system is kind of weird when it already has the A/C buttons on the dash, the wood on the steering wheel becomes annoying on long trips and many more. Honestly not impressed. But maybe it's just me. Anyhow you may want to stay away from the vin number that doesn't start with a J. Mine starts with 2 and is made in Canada.
