Value is everything with the Lexus RX350. This model year of 2009 was the last year of the 2nd generation ( 2004-2009) of this model. The engine is a 3.5 liter V-6 bullet proof engine 2GR-FE model that if properly taken care of ( oil & oil filter change every 5K miles-ideally) , will last at least 300k miles. This is the car that really does check all the boxes. A 2009 is at an age where mileage is still acceptable between 100-160k, which is just fine for a Toyota-Lexus. At a price of between $7,999-10,500 (at least here in SoCal) it’s like getting a nearly new car for the price of just an ok car. All the features, accessories and quiet - luxury ride. And with comfort (95% of this model have leather and moonroof) its a no brainer. Airbags all over the place. Lots of cargo room in back ( find one with the cargo cover !) . If you can find a one owner, dealership maintained car that’s the best! ! Remember, the demographic that bought these babies new could afford to take care of these with the normal maintenance. These first owners were also older so they didn’t drive these hard. Except for bad accidents you really don’t see these in junkyards so that says a lot. If you don’t live in the rust belt of snow and salt on the roads this car just keeps going and going. Absolutely the best car for a student! The RX is the “Honda Civic” of the Lexus world which means you see them everywhere, for a reason. This model of car has been sold since 1998 ! So when price, quality, dependability,, safety, usefulness , and just plain looks all come together, it’s a no brainer of a great car. The ONLY, negative is fuel mileage with 18mpg city and 23 freeway. Sep 27, 2024

The oil hose is rubber and should be replaced by Lexus whether it is under warranty or not. That hose busted in town . Oil everywhere. Replaced it now it has a noise that clicks when you start it, it gets quiet after warming up, when you acceralate clicking gets louder. I love the comfort of it. But so many things I have had to replace. It is a 2009 Lexus RX 350. Afraid to drive it with noise. Not sure what to do . My Nissan Rogue was so reliable.Jun 30, 2024
