1999 Lexus RX300 review from North America
"Not worth buying"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The worst car ever built. First the 3 out of 6 cylinders stopped working,.. lexus dealership told I needed a new engine, so I got it done for $4k. 2 months later, transmission started slipping. The dealer told me the trans is gone bad, and I need new transmission now,.. that will cost me $5k... The Lexus dealership will not contribute at all to any of the expenses... if you are planning to buy this car, please consider another one! thank you.
