Extremely clean interior with the exception of one tear in the drivers seat, made me want to buy this vehicle. The interior felt new. No stains, not even dirt.
The exterior had been repainted at one point, albeit well done.
The listing says no accidents but it had a minor cosmetic rear impact in 2014 (no big deal) and unfortunately also had a tree branch fall on the sunroof shattering the glass and, despite being repaired, leaving it inoperable at least consistently. When I tested the sunroof, it wouldn't close because broken glass particles were in the way. Those were cleaned up and the dealer says it’s functioning now, but you take on some risk. Not the end of the world.
If I purchased this vehicle, I’d pull the fuse that operates the sunroof and leave it in the closed position.
It drove smooth, drivetrain felt great, smooth transmission, alignment, breaks, suspension.

I’m the lady that purchased the rx300 with over 216,000 miles, it wasn’t a car, it was the SUV, and I saw the body change didn’t change much from 2006 . My vehicle looked like new when I washed it myself with dawn dish liquid and water , soaped it down, hose rinse , then soft dry auto towel, it shined like new. Leather tan interior, beautiful sunroof, state of the system direction and 5 cd changer system. All operational. I don’t want anything but a Toyota, that vehicle proved a lot to me. We went all out of town twice a week in that vehicle and it never abandoned me, always worked.Sep 25, 2024

In doing research into my next vehicle, I found almost unanimous praise for the RX series from Lexus. I know 3 people with these vehicles, and none would even consider selling their RX. And with their reliability, they probably won't have to.May 06, 2014

This is the car you would love to own. Maintenance is Very Low. Provides very high performance. Drive back and forth between Connecticut and NY,,never gave any issues. I will definitely buy another Lexus. 1000 times beter than BMW OR MERCEDES.Jan 13, 2013

Very nice vehicle, tho on the high end, especially being the Coach Edition. Comfortable on long drives, very smooth on the highway, and extremely quiet for an SUV. The sound system is incredible! Excellent acceleration, and braking is more than adequate.Oct 29, 2012

This car has excellent acceleration. It drives like a dream. It is wonderful on long trips, comfortable front seat and back seat as well. Great on gas in town and highway miles.
Has huge back cargo area to throw kids surf boards and soccer balls.Sep 01, 2012

Great car. Kind of a chick car though. Performance is good all though the ride is not smooth. You feel all gear shifts and the brake is really touchy. This car is not the sporty car that's fun to drive. It simply gets the job done. It has tons of cargo room. Pretty much the perfect SUV. Sep 28, 2008

This is my Grandma's car, a 2002 Lexus RX300 Coach Edition, and yes I have driven it a couple times. She bought it brand new at JM Lexus in South Florida, and everyone in the family loves it. The handling isn't anything to get excited about, but on the highway, this SUV can really stretch its legs. My uncle had it at 100 miles per hour on the freeway once. It has all the luxury features you would expect in a Lexus, and being a Coach Edition, it came with a free suitcase. This vehicle only has like 50,000 miles on it as of July 2008 and has many more left in it. These Lexus RXs are always expensive new, but a used one can be obtained cheap, and these make the best family vehicles or even starter cars for teens or college students. Jul 08, 2008

This suv is a great car. If you want a nice looking, good performing, car for work or for yourself, and you don't want to spend over 30K on a new car, then this car for you. I have one in black which I got for 14K. It has 6 cylinder 3.0L, the engine and has been used overseas in industrial and commercial applications. I have made a few modifications to increase overall hp, I changed tail lights and I bought the new tires. The ride on this car is excellent for suv. This car is a beauty! The Lexus suv quality is still in play with this car. The interior looks awesome, and well built...unlike Nissan Murano or Ford Escape. I get 25-27 city mpg's, and 28-32 highway mpgs on this suv. In conclusion, if you want a beautiful looking car inside and out, of good quality, with a comfortable ride, a workhorse of an engine then go for this LEXUS RX 300.Jun 30, 2008

Very potent MZ-series V6 engine with a healthy output of 220 ponies......offering the best of both worlds thanks to uni-body construction....Off-roading capability hampered by lack of low-range transfer case and lack of wheel travelFeb 29, 2008
