Buying a Used RX 330
I'd like to buy a used RX 330, preferably a 2005 with all of the toys (NAV, DVD, heated seats, Mark Levenson sound, etc.).
I found one from a private owner for $33,000 that has 23,000 miles. Does that sound like a good deal?

I am planning to buy a car from ebay in US and will use it while I am there for my clinical portion of studies for 2 years. After that I would like to take it back to Canada. I would like to know what the registration, insurance and export requirement be.

If all those links haven't worn you out, here's one more. :-)

That said, my vehicle was the exact same as yours, excpet I do NOT have rear DVD. (But to clarify, does this vehicle have the Mark Levinson audio? That is quite nice, esp if you have the DVD system.) I paid $31,995. Mine was not Lexus Certified. The same vehicle would go for about $34k here in MN. THrow in the LOW miles your has and the DVD system, I'd say that is a fair price. I'd would be SHOCKED if you can get them to come down, esp to 31 or 32.
(Now when you start talking that kind of money, maybe you want to look at a slightly less equipped 2006/7 model?);-)
No dvd or rear camera, 2004 rx 330
27k miles for 28,500.
I would think he would come down and ultimately sell at 28k.
but what do u guys feel ? good deal ?
That doesn't mean you shouldn't get it or that it's not recommended, on the contrary. Just FYI. Maybe to help you get a better deal, and watch for any little imperfections, especially a windshield crack.
You still have the balance of the factory warrantee, too.
Good luck!
We will be out of the country when the lease ends and would need to have someone else turn the car in when the lease ends - if we don't buy it.
The car is pretty loaded and has a navigation system with 31500 miles. It is in excellent condition except for a very minor dent - which would cost us about $700 to fix if we turned it in. If we purchased it, the barely noticeable dent is something we can live with. We also would need to replace the tires before turning it in - though that is something we would need to do anyway since the tread is somewhat worn. There is no mileage overage due - in fact our lease allows us 36K miles by the end of the lease.
My question: would it make sense to go ahead and purchase the car right away based on a price of $27,700. I checked the appraised value and it appears to be a good deal especially given that we know the history of the car - if one compares it to a CPO vehicle. We live in the DC metro area.
I would appreciate any advice on this issue.
