RX300 SEL

[b4u2]

Does the Lexus RX300 SE-L not come with front and back sensors? 

That's very strange as top spec thought it would have?

Anyone knows? 

[PCM]

No, a reversing camera but no sensors as standard as far as I know...

[PCM]

It does come with air suspension which can be problematic as it gets older.

Still love mine though!

@PCM

Why not?

Someone didn`t perform Due Diligence prior to purchase ?

Well done sir. That is the way to do it. Exercise Due Diligence before one commits..

@royoftherovers

Do you think i should buy it or not?

If you have the patience read the RX forum regarding RX 300. They are very good cars, I still have one but not for long! The air suspension can be a weakness when they get older. You also need to watch for corrosion on the rear sub-frame by extracting the spare wheel and checking underneath. If it has been well serviced and looked after they are cracking cars.

As an addition I have just had rear sensors fitted to my RX 300 for £180 including colour coded matching.

Thank you for all the information you gave me.

Go to the forums tab and click on RX300 and scroll looking for items on RX 300.

 

The link below mentions air-suspension problems - There are other threads, you should read as many as possible.

The some of the Citroën had poor quality air suspension, great while working. MB 50 year old air suspension cars are few, but never heard of problems with the suspension.

Looks good. Never thought a Lexus RX could be that cheap though. If you are not car expert, I would ask one to come with me looking at it.

Yes it is a well known issue when the cars get older that can be expensive. If you search through the threads you will see it mentioned quite a bit. The important thing is that to correct can be very expensive. Some members with air suspension have had no issues. It is an issue though.
