  lexus rx300 after 3 years - 1999 Lexus RX 300
  By abba - July 20 - 10:00 am

  turning radius is not as good as it should be, and gas tank is too small. otherwise this is what i consider to be a "bulletproof" vehicle. after 3 years, there have been no repairs needed. we replaced the tires after 20,000 mi, and changed engine oil every 5,000 mi. that is all that was required. all in all, this has been an excellent vehicle.

  Awesome - 1999 Lexus RX 300
  By groverusty - July 16 - 4:16 pm

  Just bought this 99 RX300 valued at 10,000 plus for $5500.00 Had to put in valve cover gaskets, timing belt/water pump. This cost $1000.00 This is an awesome car. It is so quiet and fun to drive. Heated seats help our backs, and if I can keep my wife happy, then we are ALL happy. But seriously, I LOVE THIS CAR. The Pre-purchase inspection told us everything we needed to have done but even that mechanic said "If you dont want it, let me know because I do". AWESOME!

  RX 300 - 1999 Lexus RX 300
  By Disappointed - June 7 - 6:56 pm

  Paid cash for this beautiful car in the summer 2.5 years ago. I have since put so much money into repairs that I dont know what to do. Ive put less than 12,000 miles on it in 2.5 years and spent thousands. First - O2 sensors (TWO) at once, then electrical, which NO one but Lexus will touch and will probably run me thousands at 90 an hour. I suddenly had no control over heat, radio, - anything on the console. Now, as of today it is parked because of yet another problem. Seems like horrible mix of gas - O2 sensors again??? I cant even limp it to the dealer this time. Second owner. Now I know why he got rid of it.

  Best car ever built - 1999 Lexus RX 300
  By Bixby503 - May 22 - 10:26 am

  I have had my RX300 since 2002. It now has 134k miles on it. This is the best car ever built in my opinion. I will not give it up ever, for any price. It is absolutely incredible on snow, ice and rain. It is very safe, drives great and rides even better. I also own an SC430, but I prefer the RX300 to it any day.

  beautiful design - 1999 Lexus RX 300
  By Steve_E - March 2 - 10:00 am

  Purchased the car used with low mileage, Lexus fixed most of little problems related to its being previously leased. I hope Lexus does not change the wonderful aerodynamic design in favor of current trendy boxy industrial look (no fake aluminum trim!) The front seats cushion can be a bit longer to accomodate tall folks, a solid center armrest/console would be a good replacement for the flip-down armrests. Acceleration is great for an SUV. Its not a "real" off-roader, so stay on paved roads.

  Love my RX300 - to sell? or not to sell? - 1999 Lexus RX 300
  By Rob Field - October 16 - 10:00 am

  I bought this vehicle for my wife 2 years ago. I am the second owner. I have had Jeeps -- Driving in the snow is better then my Jeep. I am debating whether to sell and buy the Mercedes that I have wanted or stick with this most reliable machine. With 64K mil its like it will go 200K+ Its been such a tough decision. HELP! It was my wifes now its mine. Its so nice and so reliable! Do I realy want a 2000 E320 or keep this ???!!! Great Car!

  Hasnt Lived Up To The Lexus Reputation - 1999 Lexus RX 300
  By Vivvy - August 2 - 2:00 am

  Legendary Lexus quality--the total ownership experience--has turned out to be more legend than reality in this case. The dealerships service dept has been less than stellar, far surpassed by the local Accura dealership--and even the local Honda dealer. Whats wrong with the car? Lots of little things, surprisingly too many to write down. An overall disappointment.

  comfort and quality - 1999 Lexus RX 300
  By mroberts - July 19 - 2:00 am

  Overall this is an excellent vehicle for someone who doesnt go off-road but wants a less than full size sport wagon. It rides very well, shows excellent construction and has a super dealer network that treats you like royalty. The only negatives I have found are the short turning radius, more wind noise than I expected in a Lexus when on the highway and the plastic interior moulding/trim that is prone to scratches.

  RX300 Pretty Damn Fun - 1999 Lexus RX 300

  As a devoted Chevy truck man, it was fun and easy to switch over to the front-drive RX.
