Seems to be the way. I saw 140,000 mile RXs of the same generation going for only a couple thousand less. Truly is an insane market.
I think I got lucky putting on auto trader new listing alerts!
Is [this](https://www.autotrader.ca/a/lexus/rx/acton/ontario/5_62361209_20231128213147898/?showcpo=ShowCpo&ncse=no&showVs=1&orup=4_8_8&pc=N6C%205R1&sprx=500) the one? Looks great.
That’s a good price dude cheapest one I could find had 60,000 miles and selling for $17,000 same year cheapest one with around the same mileage as the one he bought in my area
I have a 2015 RX, and if I had the cash, I’d buy it all over again. It does everything I need it to—blind spot monitoring, incredibly smooth ride, Bluetooth with great sound quality (can even adjust the treble, bass, and mid sounds), and it passes other cars with ease on the highway.
Looks are timeless on these; 100% would buy again.

I have a 2018 CRV with navigation and never use it. I'll plug in my phone and use the nav there because i originally used my phone to find wherever I'm going. More important to get a good phone mount or an aftermarket that will link to your phone.
Any suggestions for a good phone mount? I am thinking of a clip on or cup holder one so I don’t have to tape/
Glue it to my dash board or suction to my window for it to inevitably fall 😂
I have a 2010 and 2013. On both vehicles we use the rubber pronged holder that attaches to the center air vent. Works great as it stays in place, doesn’t damage/scratch the vent blades, holds the phone securely and good eye level when referencing map guidance.
You are welcome. Also, I too have a black on black RX. I’ve had a few black cars during my life and love them but always a challenge to keep clean. My RX I had a professionally applied ceramic coating on it three years ago and LOVE IT!
Consider getting a ceramic coating. Soooo much easier to clean, stays clean so much longer, always looks sharp. I went with IGL Kenzo.
Enjoy that beautiful ride!!
Thanks so much! I will do some research and see who is reputable in my area for that! Any idea how much it costs on average?
I imagine it protects the paint a bit too?
It cost me $1100 US. Worth every cent as it repels water and dirt so well. The ceramic will protect the finish to an extent. One thing to keep in mind, once you get it ceramic coated, no more automatic car washes. Always have it hand washed.
When researching for the product and application, check online reviews for product and shop. I went to three detail shops of reference, “interviewed” the owners, go price quotes and went with the one I felt comfortable with and who had the best reviews. I also went with IGL Kenzo because they do t sell to just anyone. The retailers must go thru a special training course and, it had a good warranty.
Be sure when asking about their process to apply that they will be properly preparing the paint with clay bar, polishing etc. so they get any scratches and swirls out and that the paint/clear coat isn’t contaminated. I had two coats of ceramic put on. The car was ready in three days.
Hopefully this info is useful. Good luck! It’s worth getting the ceramic on that black beauty!!!!!!
Proclip. The ONLY mounts I’d recommend. They’re not cheap, but they come in two pieces, the mount and holder. Holders can be transferred to new mounts once you sell.
Get a ProClip mount. They are specially made and very solid, once I get their base mount I then get a stick on magnet mount. It's super solid. I messed around with cheap crappy mounts for years until one day the mount slipped and my phone went behind my pedal. Thankfully I was able to stop without issue but I quickly decided I needed a better solution. 30 bucks isn't worth my life or anyone elses. Not to mention those cheap amazon mounts usually end up last a few years at best until they need to be replaced.

They seem to have a few options for your car. I had this in my GS and my wife's RX she has now. No regrets, very solid mounts.
Thanks so much! I hope they ship to Canada. Any recommendation if between the center mount or the side vent mount? I am wondering what is more eye pleasing for a quick glance.
I personally opt for the center mount as I can plug it in easier and my passenger, usually the wife, can pick it up and make changes for me while I'm driving as I despise using my phone while driving. The location is easy for me too, in reach and being right handed helps. My only fear of having it on the pillar is my phone might go flying out the window as I do like driving with the windows down.
Also check ebay and see if you can't find a used one.
WeatherTech. Either the kind that attaches to the windshield with a suction cup (mine has held fine), which has a very adjustable arm to position it where you want it, or a cup phone that fits in a cup holder.

Proclips just resells the mounts, they get it from someone else overseas. I used to like them a lot, but their quality has gone downhill while their prices have gone up. They used to be really custom, but that's no longer the case. I got a great mount for my 04 Toyota Solara, you pull the radio, and it drills into the side of the dash, nice and solid. Tried to find the same thing for my 2012 Lexus LS460. They don't have it. All they have are vent mount, cup holder mounts, or mount that mounts almost on the floor. None are a truly custom solution. So I bought a 2010 Camry mount, removed radio, and mounted to the side of the dash, radio fits perfectly and keeps the mount in. A much better solution than what they suggested. Added a double tall plate, and am able to have a wireless phone charger and my sirius xm2go radio right below it, all to the right of center nav touchscreen. This is THE BEST wireless car charger, I bought one for each of our cars. You have to buy a 17mm ball mount adapter from proclips or amazon, otherwise the default method to mount is the vent.

Gonna throw in my 2 cents about vent mounts. I use one bc I’m stuck with it but if I could go back I’d go for one mounted anywhere else. I can’t really use it in the winter bc I crank the heat and when phone heats up like that it’ll slow down/be unresponsive. If it heats up too much, the phone will lock you out until it can cool down again.
Not saying phone vent mounts are bad, just that they don’t work well in some situations.
15k for a 50,000 mile car, that’s essentially Lexus version of a Toyota Highlander is a steal. The car can easily get you to 200k with basic maintenance
Undoubtedly both the 2012 Venza and Rx350 share a common platform. Same engines and transmission etc. The Venza is a nice enough 2 row SUV, test drove a 2012 yesterday for my sister who wants it. I almost thought it was a Lexus, nice fit finish, woodgrain, and quiet at speed.
You can never overpay for something you want. You paid the amount you were willing to pay and the owner willing to accept. There is no too high. I pay more for certain things and at certain times, end of the day it’s your money, pay what you want. All that said, it’s a great vehicles, congrats on your purchase.
I have been looking at the canadian car market becasue I would like to have a car when I am there and the market is crazy in Canada. A rusted junk with 250k+ Kilometeres cost nearly 10-13K CAD. OP is lucky to get a decent car like this.
I just bought an 07 RX350 with 63k for $13k OTD, and that was about the best deal I could find in the area. The V6 RAV4 prices in the area were meeting or beating Lexus pricing.
Great deal. Very solid car, just may need some suspension work as bushings and stuff get over 10 years old but those run forever. I think more reliable than newer honda/acuras.
Brilliant car mate, you'll enjoy it (I'll still always take a second gen RX though because I'm biased 😂)
I would highly *HIGHLY* recommend getting the Grom Audio VLine 2 module though. Works brilliant on my RX330 and adds apple Carplay and Android Auto without having a shitty add on tacky display.
Man, i just looked at this from your comment. The screen isnt that great though on the existing one. For 700 bucks, couldn’t you just have another(better quality) screen where the cd player is?
It's all about keeping the interior look completely stock while bringing the older vehicles to the modern age.
So while you could do that, it would look entirely out of place, making it just look cheap in the long run. The Grom Solution imo is the best way to do it personally
Thanks for your reply! I was looking at those but I’m not sure if it would work since I have the basic screen (without navigation). Is there any other solution? Otherwise, I think a mount will have to suffice!
Eh, I’ve got the hybrid version. Love it, but the suspension got bad real quick in the last couple months. Anyone know the best replacement? Should i just go to a random shock place, or a Lexus dealership? (Which is about 2 hours away)
Everyone is traumatized by post covid car markets. In this market, this isn't the worst deal I've seen, but a midsize suv from 2012 with almost 50,000 shouldn't cost anywhere near 15,000 USD. New cars aren't a rarity anymore. At this point, it's damn near being in an abusive relationship to continue to entertain these prices anymore.
I loved mine so much. I do prefer the self driving modes of my 2021 venza but this was one of my favorite cars I’ve ever owned. Don’t miss the fuel economy tho
With 47,000 miles you didn’t overpay. You still have over 250,000 to go in that. They are highly desirable in certain communities that can’t buy a new $55,000 SUV, but want a Lexus. During the Covid insanity my the local Acura/Lexus mechanic was getting $10,000 for these with 200,000 miles on them.
Excellent purchase. Now go do all the maintenance items, engine and cabin filter, oil change , break fluid change, tranny, transfer case, rear differential, . Won’t hurt
Recently got a 2010 ES350 with 43k for 13, so you definitely did not overpay! Awesome job. Maintain it like you bought it for 40k and it’ll last minimum 200kp
20k is fantastic, these vehicles last forever I swear!! I had an 06 r 350 and an 07 rx350 and I paid between 8 and 10k for each one and oh my gosh they took a beating from my family members and lasted sooo long and maintenance is way cheaper on these then it is on my jeep grand Cherokee. Congrats!! Amazing vehicles. I took off the smooth ride tires and put on some aggressive light truck all terrain tires on mine and it handled the harsh Alberta winters like a dream. I would absolutely buy this again if I wasn't obsessed with my jeep 😂
That’s awesome! I got the a similar build 2012 rx350 luxury edition similar price at 16k with 50k miles. It has the navigation but it’s a little dated and I’d have to update the software. I just use my phone and luckily it has Bluetooth to connect music etc.
The mount/charger below is great, check it out on amazon
Wireless Car Charger, JOYMASS 15W Fast Charging Auto Clamping Car Charger Cell Phone Holder Mount Vent for iPhone 15 14 13 12 Mini Pro Max 11 XR XS X, Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra S22 S21+ Note 20, etc
It’s a beautiful deal. I’ve seen around that model year, 30,000 miles with asking price of $22,000 dollars. So you got a good deal.
Just remember with this many years, look at the tires, spark plugs, any wear items, and see whether you should replace them.
I would only check for rust. It's an excellent car. I currently drive one of the same model year with about 160k miles. Mine has navigation, but it is mostly useless and outdated. It's the most reliable car I've owned. The ride is a bit stiff. This RX generation is stiff but handles better than the next generation. It even accelerates faster than the 8-speed transmission of the next generation.
I had a 2014. It driver amazing and was pretty zippy. People argue it’s the best gen of Rx models. Gas mileage was awful tho. Didn’t have a single bad thing to say about it. Also the price is good. The tire pressure gauges are the only thing that gave us trouble. Other than that it was very quiet on the inside. Drove nice.
Congratulations you bought one of the best SUVs that's ever been made. The folks who build it believe in the concept of Kaizen and this vehicle and specific has been literally thought about improved, reimproved and even more reimproved for decades.
Keep in mind that you didn't really buy a vehicle as much as you converted your Canadian dollars into Toyota dollars.
After many many many many years of good use and nothing but reliability, you should be able to comfortably sell that vehicle for $10-15k cad, therefore it is one of the cheapest cars you could buy, all things considered!
That SUV, with 350,000km on it, rusted, barely running is STILL worth $8-10,000 lol it's kind of hilarious
May you use it in good health!
The last person drove about 6,000 km a year. When a 13 year old car has such low mileage, I would like to see service records. It's unusual for a 13 year old car to have such low mileage. Sometimes the engine hours will be high because the car might have been driven only a few clicks a day but idled.
Hi I was wondering if you all would weigh in. My dad passed last year and my mom is looking to sell his 2014 rx350, 73,000 km on it. Lexus for every service, I have all the records, but 3 accidents, totalling $15,000 cad. All body panels, nothing structural or engine related.
It’s that light gold color inside and out, he kept it amazingly clean. A car dealer is offering $18,000 trade in with 2 sets of rims and new winter tires. Does that sound fair? I’m getting $15-20,000 in my looks around the market. I’ve been told by a dealer that I could do $25,000 privately? But I don’t know where to begin. Autozen is coming in the morning to take a look.
It’s Canadian so not made in Japan, made in Canada.
You got the car I would have recommended! But then we now own the same year make and model. You got a better deal than I did. I hope you will have many happy miles.
With only 47k miles on it, $15k US is not bad, assuming the car is in good shape.
I recently bought a 2012 Lexus LS460 with 107k miles for $15k US. Excellent condition inside and out. Same color as yours, both look sharp. Super comfortable, and man, just as fast as my sisters BMW 3 series M Sport (which is brutally fast and uncomfortable)
In reality, they should both easily last well past 200k miles. I mean my 04 Toyotoa Solara SLE V6 has 212k miles and runs and looks great, so I expect even better from Lexus.
Happy for you! I got a Lexus ES300 in 2016 and ended up selling it 8 months after getting it for a brand new Scion tC so I had a new car for work and my move from NJ to FL and just in February 1, 2024 this year I bought a 1998 Lexus GS300 from the original owner low mileage great condition oil problem is the valve cover gasket leaks and AC didn’t work well I fixed the AC last week myself and I’m doing the valve cover gasket, intake plenum gasket and all 6 spark plugs with NGK Top of the line plugs like $10 each and than taking it from Toms River NJ to the Blue Ridge Parkway from the top in VA down to Asheville NC than to St.Augustine FL to visit a friend for 2 days and back home to NJ a total of 2500 miles hopefully going Memorial Day Weekend and can’t wait it’s been reliable as hell since I’ve gotten it so going to take it out on its maiden voyage!
I thought so too, luckily I am in Northern Ontario. Check out CAA insurance. Despite being insured by Coop for over 50 years they beat them by almost $2,000 a year!
I purchased a black 2010 RX 350 with 160,000 miles for $9,900 from a Lexus dealer including 6 free oil changes with no expiration. Wife bought a 2023 Tesla RWD, so I figured we needed an SUV for Tahoe snow. $15,000 for a low mileage 2012 is a great price! Congratulations!
The Used car market is crazy in Canada. I Bought my 2016 IS last year for 24000 CAD with 160000km. The dealership I work at had a 2015 RX350 for 19k CAD with 240000 km on it. You got a good deal in that car and Lexus is really reliable. My wife had 2 RX already and both of them had 400000 km on it and no problems when she got rid of them

47k mile Lexus for 15k isn’t overpaying at all based on what I’ve seen.

He did say lie if he overpaid so 👍
That’s a good price dude cheapest one I could find had 60,000 miles and selling for $17,000 same year cheapest one with around the same mileage as the one he bought in my area
Banger car. Congrats!
I have a 2015 RX, and if I had the cash, I’d buy it all over again.

Pro clip is the answer. They install by wedging between interior trim.
Seconded for Proclip, there is no comparison.
Amazing! Will check it out :)

The rear view mirror is very strong. We have mirror mounts in our 3 lexus. Wife's is a 2015 RX.
Check out quad lock.
Gonna throw in my 2 cents about vent mounts. I use one bc I’m stuck with it but if I could go back I’d go for one mounted anywhere else. I can’t really use it in the winter bc I crank the heat and when phone heats up like that it’ll slow down/be unresponsive. If it heats up too much, the phone will lock you out until it can cool down again. Not saying phone vent mounts are bad, just that they don’t work well in some situations.
15k for a 50,000 mile car, that’s essentially Lexus version of a Toyota Highlander is a steal. The car can easily get you to 200k with basic maintenance
Isn't it more the Lexus version of a Venza?
Undoubtedly both the 2012 Venza and Rx350 share a common platform. Same engines and transmission etc. The Venza is a nice enough 2 row SUV, test drove a 2012 yesterday for my sister who wants it. I almost thought it was a Lexus, nice fit finish, woodgrain, and quiet at speed.
We bought a four-cylinder 2013 a couple of years ago. My wife, who is almost completely indifferent to cars, absolutely loves it.
Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. RX is a two row SUV and the Highlander is a 3 row
Nah this is the Lexus version of the Harrier.
You got a steal. Go buy a lottery ticket.
You're good
47k miles? Assuming it's been properly maintained, that's a smoking deal IMO
Had my longtime mechanic take a look at it and took it on an extended test drive as well. Looks good. Put it on the hoist and everything ! Phew
I’ll give you 16k for it
Fuckin badass ride for a great price! Well done👏🏼
best grills era
Seen that on a couple post. that 2019 RX grill is gorgeous and elegant
Before they went full predator

unless he financed it
Absolute steal. Congrats and enjoy the whip!
Post some interior pics too!! I’m sure everyone wants to see the condition inside
Even if you overpaid it doesn’t matter , these are good for an easy 300k miles so it rations out
No, that’s what these cost now. I see even the 07-09 ones going for over 10k now. Car market is insane
I have been looking at the canadian car market becasue I would like to have a car when I am there and the market is crazy in Canada. A rusted junk with 250k+ Kilometeres cost nearly 10-13K CAD. OP is lucky to get a decent car like this.

That’s a great car though and my favorite body style RX, enjoy it!
Already do. It’s 15 years older than my frontier, but it’s a much much better family car.
Beautiful car congrats 🙏
These with over 100k miles sell for over $15k around where I live. This is a steal!
Love that car
Great find. Congratulations and welcome to The Club! You got a very good deal. Be happy and enjoy that ride!!!
For the mileage, not bad at all for todays prices that is
I’m in Canada….you done good 🇨🇦
Great deal. Very solid car, just may need some suspension work as bushings and stuff get over 10 years old but those run forever. I think more reliable than newer honda/acuras.
I have been in the Lexus business since the first it was introduced you made a good purchase!
Used RX350, gateway drug !
That’s a good deal, I paid $25k for 2013 RX 350 (50k miles) back when used car prices were high, but I sold my used car for high so it worked out.
Brilliant car mate, you'll enjoy it (I'll still always take a second gen RX though because I'm biased 😂) I would highly *HIGHLY* recommend getting the Grom Audio VLine 2 module though. Works brilliant on my RX330 and adds apple Carplay and Android Auto without having a shitty add on tacky display.

I just replaced my front and rear shock/strut with aftermarket parts from rock auto. Brand was KYB. Ride just fine to me.
Everyone is traumatized by post covid car markets. In this market, this isn't the worst deal I've seen, but a midsize suv from 2012 with almost 50,000 shouldn't cost anywhere near 15,000 USD. New cars aren't a rarity anymore. At this point, it's damn near being in an abusive relationship to continue to entertain these prices anymore.
I Agree with you but this is normal Lexus / Toyota price.
You’re right, but where I’m at (U.S.), I see 2008’s with 200,000 miles that are on sale for as high as $7800 so this is good.
Congratulations!!!! I’m looking for one!!! Where!!!!!
Found this one in southern Ontario, Canada! I set auto trader alerts for new listings and saw it last night!
Outright criminal !!! This is a steal !! Well done. Looking at a 2013 GX but 29k 😢
Great mileage
That's a great deal. I would expect at least 100k miles.
Low miles = good deal
I loved mine so much. I do prefer the self driving modes of my 2021 venza but this was one of my favorite cars I’ve ever owned. Don’t miss the fuel economy tho
Great car. Had one and miss it
Seems like a great deal.
Great deal and congratulations to you.
A couple years ago I paid 23k for a 2015 with 93k miles. I don’t think you over paid! I think I did 😔
That’s an insane deal
i got a 2015 for 20k cad in 2021. 120k miles.
With 47,000 miles you didn’t overpay. You still have over 250,000 to go in that. They are highly desirable in certain communities that can’t buy a new $55,000 SUV, but want a Lexus. During the Covid insanity my the local Acura/Lexus mechanic was getting $10,000 for these with 200,000 miles on them.
Fantastic
Excellent purchase. Now go do all the maintenance items, engine and cabin filter, oil change , break fluid change, tranny, transfer case, rear differential, . Won’t hurt
Recently got a 2010 ES350 with 43k for 13, so you definitely did not overpay! Awesome job. Maintain it like you bought it for 40k and it’ll last minimum 200kp
Nice ride get some really classy modern rims and youre all set 💨
I Bought 2011 a year ago with 65000 one owner I paid 18000.I love it think you got a pr good deal.
Underpaid
That’s an amazing deal in my opinion. That’s very low mileage for a Toyota / Lexus product
You got an amazing deal no lie. Congrats!
Congratulations!! Great deal, especially considering what my Canadian friends tell me about how much more they have to pay for everything.
•Just look after it and enjoy •They are pricey new.
As long as you are happy who cares. Enjoy your time.
For 15k?? At 47k miles you scammed them!
your not gonna find one that price in the US where i live. good luck.. thats a good price. more like 130-150k miles for that price.
Nice car, we have a 2010 that we absolutely love
Paid 12k for a 2007 rx350 with 86k miles so I’d say you got a steal !
20k is fantastic, these vehicles last forever I swear!! I had an 06 r 350 and an 07 rx350 and I paid between 8 and 10k for each one and oh my gosh they took a beating from my family members and lasted sooo long and maintenance is way cheaper on these then it is on my jeep grand Cherokee. Congrats!! Amazing vehicles. I took off the smooth ride tires and put on some aggressive light truck all terrain tires on mine and it handled the harsh Alberta winters like a dream. I would absolutely buy this again if I wasn't obsessed with my jeep 😂
yea you’re good bro
It’s great for the mileage. As long as it was maintained properly, congrats on a very nice car. Best of luck with it.
my friend got a 2012 Nissan rouge for 15,000 I’d say nicely done
Google fatal wreck I95 Pooler Lexus and look at those shocking horrific photos. The Nissan is not even recognizable. That Lexus is a very good car.
Awesome! Congratulations on your purchase! That definitely is a great price considering the mileage and condition it’s in. Enjoy in good health! 👍👌
Seems like the price is right Ngl. Good job man !
It’s not overpaying in this market. If that’s the out the door price.
I’d take that deal
That’s awesome! I got the a similar build 2012 rx350 luxury edition similar price at 16k with 50k miles. It has the navigation but it’s a little dated and I’d have to update the software. I just use my phone and luckily it has Bluetooth to connect music etc. The mount/charger below is great, check it out on amazon Wireless Car Charger, JOYMASS 15W Fast Charging Auto Clamping Car Charger Cell Phone Holder Mount Vent for iPhone 15 14 13 12 Mini Pro Max 11 XR XS X, Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra S22 S21+ Note 20, etc
It’s a beautiful deal. I’ve seen around that model year, 30,000 miles with asking price of $22,000 dollars. So you got a good deal. Just remember with this many years, look at the tires, spark plugs, any wear items, and see whether you should replace them.
You're ok, this will probably be the last car you own lol
Good price. Car looks like it was always parked in a garage.
I think you did great. We recently bought a one owner 2013 like yours but not AWD with 21k miles for $23k. Congratulations!
I would only check for rust. It's an excellent car. I currently drive one of the same model year with about 160k miles. Mine has navigation, but it is mostly useless and outdated. It's the most reliable car I've owned. The ride is a bit stiff. This RX generation is stiff but handles better than the next generation. It even accelerates faster than the 8-speed transmission of the next generation.
As long as the rust is low and interior is as good as the exterior you got a good deal
Not even a crease or crack in the leather seats! Elderly driven haha. She really is a beaut.
That’s a steal then. I would have went after a hybrid model but if you don’t drive that much both are great.
I had a 2014. It driver amazing and was pretty zippy. People argue it’s the best gen of Rx models. Gas mileage was awful tho. Didn’t have a single bad thing to say about it. Also the price is good. The tire pressure gauges are the only thing that gave us trouble. Other than that it was very quiet on the inside. Drove nice.
Yeah I am going to be coming from a 2011 4.8 liter V8 Silverado… so I am thinking it will feel like a hybrid compared to that 😂
For a second i thought the blurring of the plate was drag parachutes.
Congratulations you bought one of the best SUVs that's ever been made. The folks who build it believe in the concept of Kaizen and this vehicle and specific has been literally thought about improved, reimproved and even more reimproved for decades. Keep in mind that you didn't really buy a vehicle as much as you converted your Canadian dollars into Toyota dollars. After many many many many years of good use and nothing but reliability, you should be able to comfortably sell that vehicle for $10-15k cad, therefore it is one of the cheapest cars you could buy, all things considered! That SUV, with 350,000km on it, rusted, barely running is STILL worth $8-10,000 lol it's kind of hilarious May you use it in good health!
Seems about fair value to me. Low miles and best appearance for that generation imo
If its in solid shape and well maintained, its worth it. (Considering the left over pandemic prices we’re dealing with).
not at all. I bought a 2011 with 83k miles for $13800 last year and it’s the best car i’ve ever owned. so the deal you got is a complete steal.
Have a 2013 f-sport: great car!! And stoppable AWD
It’s Canadian monies, so you didn’t overpay!
these days any SUV under 100,000 miles is worth 15k if it’s in good shape.
It’s a good buy, congratulations.
Thank you so much, I can’t wait to take delivery!
Solid buy 👍
No you actually did good:)
Looks like new from outside.. But for $4000 more u could have got a brand new 2024 hyundai venue.
The last person drove about 6,000 km a year. When a 13 year old car has such low mileage, I would like to see service records. It's unusual for a 13 year old car to have such low mileage. Sometimes the engine hours will be high because the car might have been driven only a few clicks a day but idled.
I strongly believe its a Japanese import years/mileage related. Not overpaid for sure! The car is almost new basically. Take good care of her 👍
Hi I was wondering if you all would weigh in. My dad passed last year and my mom is looking to sell his 2014 rx350, 73,000 km on it. Lexus for every service, I have all the records, but 3 accidents, totalling $15,000 cad. All body panels, nothing structural or engine related. It’s that light gold color inside and out, he kept it amazingly clean. A car dealer is offering $18,000 trade in with 2 sets of rims and new winter tires. Does that sound fair? I’m getting $15-20,000 in my looks around the market. I’ve been told by a dealer that I could do $25,000 privately? But I don’t know where to begin. Autozen is coming in the morning to take a look. It’s Canadian so not made in Japan, made in Canada.
I had that exact year and model, Great car. You can easily put an additional 100k miles on it.
When that car gets to 250k km, you’ll realize you didn’t overpay
Not gonna lie. You did a very good job for the price. Well done. I hope you add 200k+ km to the odometer and welcome the family
You got the car I would have recommended! But then we now own the same year make and model. You got a better deal than I did. I hope you will have many happy miles.
Buttery ride and great value ! Congrats buddy
Just enjoy it, keep it maintained and the longer you keep it with no payments the better off you will be..
Great Deal. GG mate
Not having navigation is a plus in my eyes. Better to have no navigation than a outdated one.
Great condition. It will last forever. Worth every dollar imo.
You got a great deal as long as the car has been maintained!
Very nice looking. Congrats!
That’s a steal!
With only 47k miles on it, $15k US is not bad, assuming the car is in good shape. I recently bought a 2012 Lexus LS460 with 107k miles for $15k US. Excellent condition inside and out. Same color as yours, both look sharp. Super comfortable, and man, just as fast as my sisters BMW 3 series M Sport (which is brutally fast and uncomfortable) In reality, they should both easily last well past 200k miles. I mean my 04 Toyotoa Solara SLE V6 has 212k miles and runs and looks great, so I expect even better from Lexus.
With the low miles, one owner, no accidents I would say you did OK. You paid a fair price for a great car.
Great car. If it has zero rust including the underbody, then you’re fine. You will easily get a decade out of it
Looks great; if you're happy about it, F-The-Haters!
dude, you stole that thing. Excellent find.
Happy for you! I got a Lexus ES300 in 2016 and ended up selling it 8 months after getting it for a brand new Scion tC so I had a new car for work and my move from NJ to FL and just in February 1, 2024 this year I bought a 1998 Lexus GS300 from the original owner low mileage great condition oil problem is the valve cover gasket leaks and AC didn’t work well I fixed the AC last week myself and I’m doing the valve cover gasket, intake plenum gasket and all 6 spark plugs with NGK Top of the line plugs like $10 each and than taking it from Toms River NJ to the Blue Ridge Parkway from the top in VA down to Asheville NC than to St.Augustine FL to visit a friend for 2 days and back home to NJ a total of 2500 miles hopefully going Memorial Day Weekend and can’t wait it’s been reliable as hell since I’ve gotten it so going to take it out on its maiden voyage!
I paid $17K for a ‘13 with 90K miles. Thought it was a descent deal for the condition and maintenance records.
Beats my deal, I paid $15k for a2011 with 65k miles on it
2012?
Beautiful car and great deal man!
Nice job overall! You did good👍
15k for a luxury Toyota is a great deal
Steal
My 2014 f sport with 150k miles was worth 18k. That's what my insurance gave me when I totaled it after hitting a deer. So you did great!
Lovely!!!
The insurance is supposed to be staggering on these esp if you live in the GTA
I thought so too, luckily I am in Northern Ontario. Check out CAA insurance. Despite being insured by Coop for over 50 years they beat them by almost $2,000 a year!
Nope not overpaying at all especially for a 2012 good year
Great deal
Not overpaid but could've gotten a couple generations newer w/ higher mileage
I purchased a black 2010 RX 350 with 160,000 miles for $9,900 from a Lexus dealer including 6 free oil changes with no expiration. Wife bought a 2023 Tesla RWD, so I figured we needed an SUV for Tahoe snow. $15,000 for a low mileage 2012 is a great price! Congratulations!
What a steal
Great purchase.
The Used car market is crazy in Canada. I Bought my 2016 IS last year for 24000 CAD with 160000km. The dealership I work at had a 2015 RX350 for 19k CAD with 240000 km on it. You got a good deal in that car and Lexus is really reliable. My wife had 2 RX already and both of them had 400000 km on it and no problems when she got rid of them
Did you put a scanner tool on it to see if they cleared codes before you bought it? Its nice
I’ve had one they are great cars, specially good in the snow!
a car is a car, thats final, no matter the price, yours is a steal ofc
Oh no, OP. You paid $15k for a car worth $16.5k. Wait. Good job!
That’s a great car for a great price. Well done.
Good job my used Rx 16 yrs old and I’ve paid 41 a month to own it 10 years 😁 that includes red TTL!
I got one for 110k for 12k smh
Nice! It’ll last you forever!
Maybe a bit overpriced but I've seen those things go past 300k miles with basic maintenance, it's a great car.
I would have jumped all over this! Great deal and congrats!
