4K Review 2003 Lexus RX 300 AWD Virtual Test-Drive & Walk-around

[@Dansk55]

I have an 03. The best year of the Rx300 range. This car is so smooth, I almost fell asleep and I wasn't even on the freeway.

[@oldmike7239]

I have an ‘02 RX300 that looks exactly like this one. Bought it new in January 2002, which means I’ve had it for close to 22 years. It has 245k miles, and it still runs great. I hope to keep it for another 200k miles as I have no desire to buy another car, which means car payments, which can get very boring. I would have no problem buying a high mileage, used Lexus as long as it was never in an accident and reasonably well maintained.

[@Lovetrain-io6kt]

How much was it back then? And monthly for the car

[@oldmike7239]

@ I’ve had the car for 22 years and the memory’s a little fuzzy, but I think it was between $30,000 - $32,000. The dealer tried to nickel dime me on admin costs, dealer add ons, prep, etc., but there was a Volvo dealer next door and during a lunch break we took one for a test drive. When we came back we told the Lexus dealer about taking a Volvo test drive and the extra charges immediately went away. We didn’t tell him we thought the Volvo was a piece of junk. We now have over 255k miles on the Lexus and it still runs great. I hope, and trying, to keep this car as our last car. We’re in our 80’s and new ones are well over $55,000 - $60,000. Not a good choice for our age.

@ yeah well I'm 19 years old and I can nearly even think about affording a new one but the 1999-2003 models are exactly what I plan to get I mean they're at most like $4k now for a used so I'm gonna try to get one next month but yeah I understand that's awesome that you've guys have had for so long I'm Sure it will last a long time they're well made probably not even as a good as one is now

[@Lovetrain-io6kt]

@ at the time was it a really cool car to see? I know now of course it isn't all that special looking but I can imagine it was back then because I see a 2024 rx and I'm amazed

[@nedoscarsandfishingvideos5500]

I have one really happy whit it 230 k miles still runs strong 💪🏻

[@PanditaP]

Original transmission?

[@phuryusstylesphuryustyles2273]

2003 with 307 k still pushing with no problems👍

[@damongusman8283]

I'm test driving a 03 RX 300 tomorrow w 160,000. Asking price is 3600.00. The only light on dash is the Abs. I shall see how it rides.

[@CarsTrucksBuses]

Abs, is most likely an abs sensor, they are known for that. however it can also be abs module, they are also known for that as well...

[@PanditaP]

Originally transmission ?

[@phuryusstylesphuryustyles2273]

@@PanditaP not sure. I got it with 250k. Transmission is flawless. So I'm pretty sure who ever had it before me had something done to it.

[@markblue6464]

@@PanditaP most likely the engineering on the 1st Gen RX was and still is damn near flawless

[@markblue6464]

I have an 03 made in Japan. I got it at 170k and now at 190k still running good, going to mod into a 1of1 beast

[@louislaflamme4662]

in the engine bay, we heard clearly a bearing yealing on the accessories belt circuit... the guy said running smooth... yeah sure.

[@zizujunior]

Hi, I am planning to get one with 85k miles for $4,500. Is that a good price?

[@2gjg4huki5jkd7hjh]

i loved this review. 😄

[@CarsTrucksBuses]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@rantgant8156]

What are the maintenance costs for this make and model though? Is it more expensive because it is a Lexus?

[@mollysmith605]

No because it's a Toyota

[@27BILLY99]

found one with power steering acting up and sticky breaks but it’s going for $3k and 89k miles. worth it?

[@jollysteffen]

should i buy one for 7k with 200k miles?

[@CarsTrucksBuses]

I wouldn't. Price seems high for those miles even in this type of economy

[@2gjg4huki5jkd7hjh]

I like how the video is not too long. Because, some car reviews are like 32 minutes long and this is only 14 minutes.

[@CarsTrucksBuses]

Thank you for your kind words !

The RX was never discontinued. It's currently in its 4th generation. This particular model, a 1st gen, was sold until the 2003 model year. It got an redesign in 2004.

[@shahali1969]
