I’m about to buy a 2010 Lexus RX 350 AWD with 140k miles, but the transmission, coolant, and differential fluids have never been changed. The owner claims that because the transmission is sealed it isn’t supposed to be changed, however everything I’ve read says the contrary. The car drives great however. Am I safe to buy this car and just do these services myself or should I steer clear?!
It might be ok. Check the condition of the fluids, test drive it, and have the vehicle inspected.
Pay a mechanic $100 to scan the vehicle and check underneath.
if it passes and the price is right, change ALL fluids.
The prior idiot owner changed nothing and now your left to pick up the pieces.
how. I have are they asking?
listed for $13,000, but sold it to me for $11,000. I've ended up changing the water pump, spark plugs, now and looking at struts!
