2000 Lexus RX300 review from North America
"Very disappointed -- won't buy another Lexus"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This 2000 RX300 looks brand new inside and out. Bought it Lexus certified with 58700 miles, and it now has 67250.
Had the battery issue, and now have noticed a small oil leak in the driveway, and they say that it's the rear engine seal -- 14 hours labor and a $35 part -- as described by many others. So I'm guessing this is the beginning of the long saga for me.
Of course, I still owe more than it's worth as it has dropped in value to half what I paid in one years time. Dealership says 'too bad' and the customer service rep hasn't called me back. So guess they don't care, so I will just tell everyone I know all over the world.
General comments?
I love the car's look and feel, but now have no confidence... so much for the 200,000 miles that the dealer talked about when I bought it.
