I would recommend. We have a 2009 Rx with 156,000 miles and have had minimal issues. A water pump around 80,000 was all. Otherwise, regular oil changes and safety inspections. Will likely keep it for another 50K or so...

FAILUE OFPARTS TAHT SHOULD NOT FAIL AT 69,000 MILES
NO, I would not recommend a 2009 Lexus RX350. I have 69,200 miles driven, mostly in a large city, faithfully maintained at my Lexus dealer every 5,000 miles/6-months; At 69,200 miles Lexus told me I needed to REPLACE: Both Struts, Both Strut Mounts, CV Joint Boot, Both Control Arms, Water Pump and Power Steering Return Hose. COST is approaching $7,000.00. WHY? WHY? Lexus Service Rep said “AGE” caused the need for these replacements. Really? I can understand Mileage or Driving Conditions or Lack of Regular Service – BUT “AGE”, for these Items? Does anyone have any thoughts?

Reliable and Comfortable SUV
Have not had any problems. I enjoy that it is a comfortable drive. It has also been reliable and I like the rear power door feature on the key. Would like the feature of opening the rear with a touch of your foot. Also would like a separate space for cell phone.

Great car! Very luxurious, reliable and classy!
I love our Lexus! We haven't really had a lot of problems with it. Some routine maintenance is all we've had to do to it. The only thing that I really do not like, is that if we do end up having a problem with it, the parts are very expensive, and sometimes it can be hard to find a mechanic that knows how to work on them. Other than that, it is a very luxurious and comfortable car. It had been incredibly reliable for us, and we will definitely consider purchasing another Lexus in the future.

The 2009 Lexus RX 350 is a trustworthy and reliable car that will satisfy you.
The Lexus RX 350 is a very smooth & reliable car. We've had the car for almost 10 years now so we've seen how the car has kept up with of the driving we have done on it. Lexus is known for the smooth ride, and this car has been the same since we got it! The leather interior and wood grain steering wheel add a classy touch to the vehicles aesthetic. The engine is a 3.5 L v6 so lots of power and pretty good gas mileage!

Costly repairs after the vehicle passes 8 years old.
I love my vehicle, but it is older and needs repairs. Very comfortable ride, but with gas prices, i wish i had bought a hybrid.

We have the special pebble beach edition which came in a special color.
Very reliable since I owned it in 2011, great ride, has a really good GPS system, although it is not user friendly. Great stereo system also. The maintenance can be quite expensive. I always take it to the dealership for repairs. It also has a lot of space in the back.

Beautiful car with luxury and style.
I like be the height of my vehicle (I am 5'4') it is easy for me to get into, I have good visibility out of my mirrors and windows. I get good gas mileage. I have seat warmers which are nice in the winter! It holds the equipment I need for my job (signs, I sell real estate). It rides comfortably. And it is a stylish looking car.

It is reliable, If it needs repair the dealership is very good and always gives a loaner
Other than parts wearing out it never needs repair. It is reliable. It drives well in the snow and ice. It is orthopedically comfortable for me

Buying a used Lexus RX 350
Love it. No problems. Bought it used and have never had a problem. I would highly recommend this car as either a new purchase or a used purchase. I think that it is a very reliable used car purchase and I would not hesitate to buy another used Lexus RX 350 or any other used Lexus
Paula R

I love the smooth ride. I only regret the model and year because the year following they added lots of features.
It is a very safe car and a smooth ride. It takes a lot of gas but worth it

The lexus rx350 A great family vehicle; rides like a car but roomy as an SUV.
This is my second Lexus. They have been the most reliable vehicles I have ever had. My routine maintenance is an oil change every 3, 000 miles. It has needed no other maintenance. I have never had either vehicle overnight at the dealership, they are that reliable.
Michelle M

More bang for your buck. Reliable, comfortable and stylish.
My Lexus rx reliable; with the maintenance services they make sure everything is working well. The car is quite comfortable. The styling does not look dated. I can set the seats, mirrors steering etc. That automatically change back to my settings if anyone else drives my car.

Nice car, but expensive to own and maintain. It's essentially a luxury edition Toyota 4Runner. I would probably not buy it again.

Reliable and comfortable SUV.
My car has been very reliable since I bought it. Lexus makes very good vehicles. It is very comfortable, and the drive is smooth. I also rely on Lexus service cat the dealership--also very reliable. I've owned the vehicle for more than 10 years, and it still performs really well.

Arm rest in the 2009 Lexus rx350 are key.
Love the car nice smooth ride, comfort features inside make it nice. Displays easy to use. Just the right size for a small family. I love the 2009 model the newer models look boring and the newest model looks to futuristic I was going to get a newer one but I decided to keep mine and just did an overhaul. Love this model and the armrest are key!

Good mom SUV consider before a van.
The Lexus rx continues to give customers the exact blend of luxury performance and comfort. It has great acceleration and handling and still outshines almost every other SUV in the area of reliability and resale. Its roomy and has advanced safety features.

Luxury SUV that is dependable and fun to drive.
I love my Lexus rx-350. It handles well on the road, it looks like a luxury vehicle not just a clunky SUV and the seats are comfortable and heated. The trunk area is very large and I carry things like bikes and drum sets in the back regularly. The back seat fits three people but I wouldn't recommend three adults riding in the back for long distances because it is a little crowded. I have only had to do regular maintenance on the car for the entire time I have owned it. My next car will be another Lexus.

It is a smooth ride, it is a hybrid, therefore good for the environment. Too much technology, too complicated to do at-home work on it.

Safe, reliable luxury vehicle
My car is extremely reliable. I rarely have any problems or issues. It is very comfortable for long drives and commuting to work. Repairs and basic maintenance have been reasonably priced. Dealerships and mechanics that will work on the car are easy to find. It is very gas efficient for its size. I would purchase again.

Lexus - why didn't I design this car?
I love my Lexus! I've never kept a car so long. I have owned a Lexus since they started having SUV models. They are comfortable yet sporty and stylishly recognizable. We've enjoyed taking the car in for checkups because Lexus makes the experience simple and the quality means we're never surprised with expensive repairs. We're about to buy a new Lexus but will keep the 2009 because it still has miles to go!
Cheryl A

Lexus makes a very good vehicle. The service from Lexus is amazing.
I am very pleased with my Lexus but have had trouble with the pistons. Two were replaced but I suspect that additional ones will need repair. Also when I take my vehicle for service, I get a loaner which is always a newer Lexus with all the bells and whistles, which of course makes me want a newer one.
Ellen F

That it is dependable, reliable, good gas mileage.
The lexus rx has really good visibility; it is comfortable for both driver and passengers. This roomy SUV allows me to transport anything I need to. It is reliable, easy to drive and if you maintain it properly, the car has a nice long life.

Long term relationship with my car.
Rides is very smooth. Love the Lexus reliability not a lot of problems, things do not break down all the time. Love the leather seats and the back support in the driver's seat. Love that the Lexus has a 6 cylinder engine that gets top speed with no shaking.

Fabulous car for short woman.
This vehicle has had very few problems. The worst being the exhaust pipe. I replace tires and oil but nothing significant. The leather seats are aging.
Cassandra P

2009 Lexus road trip vehicle.
My car is 9 years old so it has a few problems. Engine cylinder problems, gas guzzler, but it is comfortable inside. The car takes 15 gallons of gas and in California that is almost $60 every time you want to fill up. The power steering is messed up making it tougher to turn the vehicle. The vehicle has heated seats, GPS, and my favorite feature which is the backup camera.
Heidi S

My Lexus rx 350 is best car ever!
Very reliable, never broke down - 168,000 miles! Very comfortable, all interior features still work - navigator, seat warmers, CD/cassette tape, electric everything! It has had a hard life but it keeps on moving! I will definitely by a Lexus again if my current one ever dies.

It is a Lexus that costed about $30k. It is very comfortable and modern.
My Lexus rx 350 is a very reliable and strong car. I am not sure what year it is in but it has a gray tone. It is very smooth, when you drive it you could almost feel like is not even on. I recommend it because It's a very solid car for the price of 30k.

Very smooth ride comfortable interior easy to get a car seat in and out of for buyers with children. Also large enough trunk space for baby gear
Great car for traveling. For an SUV gets excellent gas mileage. Have not had any performance problems. It is a bit expensive to fix if issues do arise. This is my second lexus and would happily buy a third
Samantha Q

Premium gas, and horrible gas mileage. Very comfortable to ride in
I love the car, i'll start with dislikes. Hate that it takes premium to fill it up. Wish there was better A/C flow in the back seat. What I like is the pick up power, fold down back seat to make an already spacious trunk bigger. Back window wiper blade and reverse screen. 3 ways to play music, tape, CD (which holds 6) and am/fm

Love the Lexus. Never ages.
It has lots of room. The back seat folds down for carrying large items. The power door is convenient when arms are full. Low enough to load things. The headlights move to show objects at night. It has good horsepower. The navigational feature is perfect. Great stereo sound.

The most important thing to know is that it has a Toyota engine... My last one had 341,000 miles before the transmission went.
LOVE that it has a Toyota engine. :-) Love the heated seats, and that it rides great. It's also very quiet to ride in.
Cassandra R

Lexus rx... The trusted family ride.
Love the smoothness of. The ride, but need more room due to having another child. I rely on this vehicle and it is very trusted. No problems with it so far. Just replaced the battery and brakes. Feels like a new ride. Will be looking at the new model that offers 3rd row seating.
Rebecca R

The Lexus RX is a beautiful mid sized SUV. It handles more like a car and the size still allows for movability in tight areas.

Love my Lexus! Its beautiful on the inside and out. Very solid.
My Lexus is extremely comfortable and well laid out. I think it's a beautiful car, especially in the burgundy color I have. It's got some great features. My two favorites are the power door or life gate. It's great that you can open or close it with just a button. I also love the seat warmers. Repairs are expensive but I anticipated that when I bought a luxury brand. My Lexus is not new, but the styling looks up to date.
Ryan D

The Lexus SUV retains Its value and is a very good car to buy instead of leasing.
This vehicle is the smoothest and easiest car to drive. It is 9 years old and still runs perfectly with no issues. The amenities such as brake assist and air conditioner are still like new. Overall I have very few complaints.
