UPDATED VIDEO FINALLY!! 2013 Lexus RX350 SUV Full Review

[@RichRawFit4life]

I just purchased a 2015 silver one with light gray interior, one owner, no accidents, mint condition. This is my first luxury vehicle purchase. I'm pleased. The rims have no scratches and I have all the maintenance records from a local Lexus dealer. I'm sure I will be enjoying this vehicle for some time to come! I really enjoyed your vid too! Thanks for sharing!

[@lawjo1978]

Thank you for the good feedback. Congratulations on your new ride. These trucks are very reliable, doesn't need tons of maintenance done to them. I'm sure you will enjoy your Lexus RX

I have the 2004 rx 330 this is gonna be my replacement. I’ll never buy a new new car but thanks for this video seriously it was SO helpful. This is also one of the only cars on the market with a left sided cup holder on the driver side lol it was a game changer for me.

[@lawjo1978]

Good Morning LifeLoveBeauty, Thanks for the good feedback. I think you really like the RX350 since you already have an experience with the Lexus RX. I'm a fan of left side driver's cup holder as well. Overall in my opinion these trucks make a good newer vehicle alternative as opposed to having a new one at $60k and a car payment for up to 6-7yrs.

[@MsDeMaria]

Great video! I will be getting mine soon. I am in love with this vehicle, so classy and reliable. Watching your video has sold me even more.

[@lawjo1978]

Good Morning Madam Walker, Thanks for the feedback. I think you wouldn't go wrong with it. It's not too big and not too little. It's the perfect size in my opinion. The reliability and resale value is strong on these trucks. I feel it would be a good choice to consider.

[@MsDeMaria]

I totally agree. I’ve done my research on them as well and the mileage on these can go over 200k miles with little to no issues with the proper upkeep. Definitely sold. Keep making great videos!

[@lawjo1978]

@@MsDeMaria Even at 200k miles it's just getting broken in at that point. Thank you for the words of encouragement. And I hope you enjoy your upcoming RX350

[@BigG627]

I’m 19, my dad got me a 07 Rx for my first car when I was 17. It’s amazing and it’s at 150k+ miles. Tbh though, I need something just a bit newer since I’ve been driving mine so much due to it being a Salvage title, not that confident I’d be in good shape if I got hit going 50, had my engine smoking from a 2 hour drive going 90+ (since I’m in Texas). Still an AMAZING car, but I wanted something to look a bit newer and not outdated but still high quality and still luxury, and something that I can be confident to drive fast in, long distance and drive consistently. Def going to get a newer one in another year or so, good review, was worried about some features not being in this model.

[@theincrediblemr.b413]

Great video man. I've been lookin at this car recently and your review helped a lot. Can't wait for the next vid

[@lawjo1978]

Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate them 🙏🏽

[@shocker5910]

I have a 2010 lexus rx350 awd. I bought it with 110k miles on it. Been driving it as my daily driver for a year put almost 20k miles on it. It has been a dream car. Can't believe I paid a 3rd of what you can pay for an equivalent brand new car. These 3rd gen rx350s are truly some of the best cars on the market. Only minor draw back is they can be gas hogs. Also I'd recommend having any car you plan to purchase looked at by a professional mechanic. A pre purchase inspection. Best wishes!

[@lawjo1978]

@shocker5910 Good morning, that's very awesome that you're enjoying the RX350. And since you have almost 130k miles on it. It's not even broken it yet. And I feel that's the buy a luxury vehicle is get it a few years old and most of the depreciation is gone.

[@flankman9385]

My favorite generation.

[@MiguelTorres-qf8dt]

Is the Lexus RX 350 F sport 2013-2015 with the 8 speed transmission reliable too or only the 6 speed?

[@MegaSlowe]

I've got the same year. Same color interior, but the exterior is the Fire Agate with standard wheels. Love it. Got it two years ago. It has 110,000 miles on it.

[@lawjo1978]

At 110k miles. Your RX isn't even even broken in yet

[@Alitrucking]

How many miles can go ? Is that reliable car like Camry ?

[@njc2981]

@@Alitrucking make sure to do the regular maintenance and it will pass you over 200k miles easy.

[@kennethlin]

Great video sir. When buying one of these privately, how can you tell what (if any) upgrade/trims are in the vehicle?

[@lawjo1978]

Hey Kenneth, Thanks for the feedback. As far as upgrades go if you see like a mouse pad in the center console that will the slightly upgraded radio, the HID headlights, the 19 in and up wheels, better leather seating just to list a few. On the F-Sport models it will have an 8spd automatic as opposed to the 6spd automatic in the regular models, the suspension will be firmer riding

[@kennethlin]

@@lawjo1978 thank you so much for the tips! 🙏

[@GiGi-qk6yc]

Does the mirror blind spot detection mirror come as a standard feature on all rx350?

Hello GIGI, No it doesn't. It's actually apart of an option package that they offered

@@lawjo1978 TY!!

[@davidwayne9982]

Thank you very much-- EXCELLENT review. I just found out about these... was looking at RAV 4 (the V-6 version) but I like THIS better. I"m 68 and need the " quality and comfort" now to go with the performance- and this-- like 2013 back is the only way I'm going to afford it. 60k miles is not even broken in good for these vehicles... they're Documented to go over a million miles with care... and I want one AWD too- many are!!! THANKS AGAIN for the great review.

[@lawjo1978]

Hey David, Thank you for the kind words and feedback. I appreciate it greatly. The Toyota 3.5 is very durable engine. I know some of the railroad employee transport companies were using the Toyota Sienna vans. They were putting well over 250k miles on them along with idling all day and night. The AWD that is offered on the RX is a solid setup as well.

[@Nickdude56]

I’m looking to buy a 2013 model with 101k miles on it. It’s a two owner. Is that mileage too high in your opinion?

[@lawjo1978]

That mileage isn't high at all. It's low for the year. As long as the maintenance is up to par on it. It will be worth considering

[@kingnole7540]

Love that saddle brown interior. Just got a one-owner 2015 RX with 170k miles but the lighter tan interior. The mechanics were impressed with the condition of the drivetrain and vehicle overall. Only issue that's dogging me is the Bluetooth microphone. Connects fine and can hear all calls. But callers can't hear me ☹️. Replaced the BT microphone to no avail.

[@lawjo1978]

Congratulations on your 2015 RX. I hope you enjoy your ride. You're like the second person that mentioned that issue regarding the Bluetooth system. When you get some time. Check out this forum called club lexus and I want to say there's a fix for that issue.

[@VincentScales]

66,000 miles on a 10 year old vehicle (Lexus), average price paid $22,850!

[@lawjo1978]

Actually was able to get it for less that the price you posted up. But they still will get that near $23k price at the dealership

[@HoodsGlobal]

****Does this 2013 model have the rubber oil cooler line and VVTI oil line?

[@lawjo1978]

Yes it does. I would definitely recommend changing that line out

[@katrinafisher7820]

Have you had any issues? I am considering purchasing one exactly like that now…$60K miles, one owner, no accidents, well maintained (carfax).

[@asadb1990]

Car should be done if the car has regular basic maintenance like oil changes at 5k miles and regular change of air filters

[@lawjo1978]

Hey Katrina, my apologies for the late reply to you. Only issues I encountered with it was the sunroof drains was clogged which has cause a little leak inside. Once I did that no problems since. It's been a very reliable vehicle.

[@Ricchmic]

Any of these with panoramic roof?

Great Video Man! Looks like yours isn't a base model 'cause some base 2013's don't have a Navigation & sunroof. Hey, the interior leather brown color is unique . Not like the other lighter colors that don't hide stains on them. Thanks for the time spent to explain basic things on ur Video. Hey, it helps the newbies that's just getting their hands on the Lexus. I'll go ahead & subscribe here from Canada. Enjoy ur Dallas weather. We are jealous of it from here. 👍

[@greggalletta8679]

The dash and shifter remind me too much of a minivan.

[@lawjo1978]

And what's interesting is the first 2 generations before this one had that same similar shifter style. Now 2016 and up model years. They actually repositioned that

Nice ride, but I’ve always disliked the way Lexus placed the gear lever at that angle. It just looks out of place.

@@lawjo1978 I have some tips for caring for it. I have a 2008 RX400h so I've learned a ton of things over the years. 1. Keep it garaged 2. Don't drive in rain or snow. Rent a car if you have to for a couple of days if you have to drive in snow. 3. Hand wash. 4. Oil and filter change every 5000 miles.
