My family had a used 2006 RX330 (it was a Japan import so its a Toyota Harrier 3.3). It was 3 years old when we picked it up. It was so reliable and comfortable we ended up keepinh it for another 10 years. Toyota/Lexus of that era really proved that cars can be durable and luxurious at the same time.

I'm so jealous of the car prices in the UK. Over here it would easily be 8000€ in the 'before massively overspent' -condition. Only the most premium car dealerships and proper enthusiasts care about the condition of the paint and wheels. It's a shame. A really great find. I like the RX, even though it looks like an old bread loaf.

Hi Matt, Glad your man flu has cleared and pleased that you have restored life to this rare car through quality servicing. According to the car number plates I suspect one of the reasons why the previous owner wanted rid of this car with low mileage in the greater London area was that it’s non ULEZ compliant. Still profit in the car instead of the £2000 scrappage scheme. Keep up the excellent work 😊

Firstly- what a great channel. I have been following you since the early days of the channel Congratulations on your continued success. I have had a 02 MK 1 rx300 for the last 10 years. They are fantastically reliable and very over engineered. I have been all over Europe in mine, towed cars, boats and all sorts of trailers with it. It is now at 200k miles and still going strong. Well done changing the transmission fluid and filter- Its an easy enough thing to change on the rx300 and a common fault on them if not changed every 60k miles. The only thing you didnt mention was a set of spark plugs. It is quite hard to change the rear 3 plugs and would have been worth it with a full service. Anyway - best of luck with it - I' m sure you will find a buyer for it no problem.

After moving from Chicago to Manchester, it is insane to me how comparatively dirt-cheap used cars are here, and how much better care people seem to take of them in terms of general maintenance. Maybe because it's such a small country and people do far fewer miles, the MOT that cars need to pass, and the lack of as robust of a second-hand market due to the right-hand drive; or a combination of everything.

My boss had the same gen RX300 or RX350 probably since new and up until a year ago, 15 years at least. It's been bulletproof. Not entirely without things needing replacement over 150k+ miles (I think it's around 200k now), but overall very dependable. The biggest job that I remember is replacing pneumatic suspension with regular springs and shocks, since the pneumo is way too expensive to fix.

We got so many of them here in Nigeria. I drove one for a year, belonged to an aunt. Smooth and quiet, with just enough power when you need it. The only thing i disliked was the driver seating position. There's no armrest so you have to keep both hands on the wheel all the time which can be really stressful for me on long journeys. I compromised by keeping my right hand on the gear lever sometimes (Left hand drive and im lefthanded). Other than that it was a champ. Her's got about 230k miles as at 2017 when i used it. She still owns the car. You say 10years, man as long as there's still aftermarket parts, that thing can go another 30 years if properly maintained.

I got a 1999 Lexus 300gs. Still looking good infact it's immaculate. Coming upto 187 thousand miles smoke emissions probe was 0.02. What an engine it's nothing short of being one of the best cars ever made. The car is 24 years old I can afford a new Merc or B.M.W. or another Lexus but why. I see many prestige cars costing thousands of pounds at the side of the road broken down. I think to myself boy I'm dead lucky it's never happened to me. I also got a Bentley and an XJ8. I still love driving the Lexus prefer it over the other two.

Black cabs are expensive from Heathrow because operating from there is expensive. Cabbies pay extra to get a card to operate from there and are then charged about £7 to join the rank. They may also be waiting 2-3 hours for a fare on the basis that most trips will earn them £50+. So options are hunt around London for 2-3 hours doing a few £10-20 trips or wait 3 hours and do a £50-100 run into central London.

I love this older model RX much more then the newer hybrids, a solid car, less crap to go wrong and very desirable in my eyes, your price sounds decent for a car with so much life left in it. Its a winner. Manchester to London £80, Heathrow to Staine's £40, Huhhhhhhh.

Really lucky to book BA down to London for £80. Fares usually much higher depending on demand. If you were to take a similar early flight on September 4 the lowest price is £245 one-way. If you were to take the 0850 hrs flight the only seats still available are in business class at £628 one-way ! (Prices checked today at 1910 hrs)

@@sporturaman Yes it all depends on when you book and travel. BA has dynamic pricing. It also gives priority to those pax making int connex at LHR.

I love my 05 3000 HC, 132,000 miles, wheels refurbished & £1500.00 spent on a full service, l thought it went well before the service but since it was really well looked after by my garage it’s like a brand new vehicle, it goes like it’s on steroids, nobody is going to come between me & my Lexus

Good review. Hey, Matt, you need a dash of whiskey in your tea to get rid of the cold. BTW £40, for an eight minute taxi🚖 ride? Welcome to the big smoke.

I have rarely used a cab out of Heathrow having been bitten once. Problem seemed to be the proximity to M25 so they set a black cab fixed rate to anywhere inside or a different and minimum rate to anywhere outside. On a good day it takes me 12 to 15 mins to cover the short run to my home but I could have gone to Essex for the same price !

Great Video Matt. I had the same SUV in Portland Oregon, bought new in late 2002 and sold it in 2009 with 72k miles on the Clock. Had it Service every 10k by Lexus plus and Oil change every 5k at a Quick Lube. Apart from the servicing my only other expenses were change gear box Oil and coolant and 4 tires at 50k and a battery. Start Ist time every time. Brilliant in all weather including snow and off the road. If I was in the UK I would be standing in your forecourt ready to by this beauty.

I feel really unwell and have likely caught something off someone on a train who was really selfish and inconsiderate and passed it onto me. I know what I will do, I will go one better than that and go get on a plane to be even more selfish and pass it onto even more people who are trapped in seats around me. Love your videos and appreciate your content, but surely if Covid taught us anything it is to not spread it around.

We bought a pristine low mileage one from Lexus many years ago; nothing went wrong (apart from a battery) but it was so dull and depressing it sapped the very soul from me and I changed it for a Volvo estate which seemed fun, youthful and fresh in comparison.

These early Lexus are popular here in Sri Lanka, but very expensive when compared to the UK prices. This is due to a 300% vehicle import duty, resulting in older cars like this still costing approx. £20,000 !! This example is a nice looking car with the usual luxurious fit & finish that only Lexus can produce. Keep up the great work! 👍👍
