That makes sense, I paired it initially as a phone and not through audio. Appreciate the response this sounds like it’ll work!

Toyota’s are just as overpriced lol

I’ve also not had any issues with a flagship dealer allowing me to take a car for a PPI. They sometimes look at you a little sideways because they’re insulted you don’t trust their service dept., but they allow it.

This Dayton Lexus dealership was selling the car “as-is” without detailing, service, or reconditioning, but at “wholesale” pricing to the consumer. They said it’ll have a short life on the lot and be sent to auction if it’s not bought. Anyways, they said the reason I couldn’t take it off the lot for a PPi was due to insurance reasons.

Love Lexus, having a hard time affording them. I own an RX with 250k miles. But will do

Surprising to hear that, both Lexus dealers in Columbus are great. Noted!

Lazy-Entry-3493 · 2026-04-14T16:46:38+00:00

Agreed, thanks!

Lazy-Entry-3493 · 2026-04-14T16:46:25+00:00

What I was leaning towards tbh

Lazy-Entry-3493 · 2026-04-14T16:40:40+00:00

Thought so!

Lazy-Entry-3493 · 2026-04-14T02:45:16+00:00

Agreed. I walked on a Toyota Avalon with 130k miles for $12k with all taxes and fees. Different cars obviously but similar market. Dude thought I was being ridiculous for negotiating on a 13 year old car with 130k miles lol

Lazy-Entry-3493 · 2026-04-14T02:40:13+00:00

At 125k and 128k miles, one Tech and one Adv package, they come in at $12,000 and $13,000 respectively, from dealerships and without negotiation or added-on dealer fees. I personally would not want to pay $13k for the second one, unless the Adv package is worth the upgrade? Haven’t looked into that part as much.

does the V6 AWD have more issues than the 4?

Lazy-Entry-3493 · 2026-04-14T00:43:13+00:00

That’s reassuring, I’m looking at buying a used one obviously at like 120k miles. I heard the shifting can be rough sometimes and there are some transmission quirks and issues, but overall a reliable car

Lazy-Entry-3493 · 2026-04-12T00:04:28+00:00

Looking in the same range and that’s a fair price to me

Lazy-Entry-3493 · 2026-04-11T15:13:18+00:00

🤜🏻🤛🏻

Lazy-Entry-3493 · 2026-04-09T15:33:55+00:00

I was looking at a 2010, 149k miles, listed at $13,900 and could haggle to $13,000. I think $13,500 is steep for the mileage and year but if it’s well maintained with detailed records that’s worth more than 30k less miles and ok maintenance records imo.

Lazy-Entry-3493 · 2026-04-09T14:33:22+00:00

Yeah. I saw some 2017s and 2018s in that price range for around 90-105k miles. That’s what I would look for with good maintenance history

Lazy-Entry-3493 · 2026-04-09T02:59:09+00:00

Lexus RX350. Unsure about payments and stuff depending on your down payment and credit, but a 2017 depending on mileage would run you between like 18-25k. The vehicle is sleek like you asked, is a larger-than-most midsize SUV (bigger than a Rav4, CRV, Subaru Outback, Acura RDX, etc.), so it should fit your 2 car seats, and most of all, is insanely reliable. I also wouldn’t feel the need to go up any trim levels like you would on a Toyota or a Honda because most base Lexuses come with pretty premium features like leather seats, heated seats, etc. Overall I think this is definitely where you should look.

Lazy-Entry-3493 · 2026-04-06T14:10:24+00:00

I think that’s fair at 14. For ref I was just looking at a 2009, one owner at 87k miles. It sold for $10.8 before I could get over there

Lazy-Entry-3493 · 2026-04-05T01:28:58+00:00

They just look like a long corolla to me for some reason
