Dear Lexus community, there is still an E-Class 350 gasoline engine from 2009 with 292 hp. Unfortunately, the car is increasingly unreliable and the defects are now so expensive that I want to sell it. Just 4 months ago I invested 3000 euros and now the next defect, which costs the same again… I had now thought of a Lexus, because I got used to the performance and the driving feeling of the Benz and would like to have something nice but less annoying. inde the models GS and RX are beautiful, which are so 10 years old. As 350 or 450h there are the so around the 10,000 Euro, but then not always usually 2 previous owners and 120,000 to 170,000 km on the clock. Now my question: Are there typical weak points with the models, which can become particularly expensive? For example, is the air suspension at some point or – as with my Mercedes – there are problems with the direct injection? Do I have to make sure that something (recalls, timing belts…) was made? Of course: Do you think that I can buy a car like this and drive it for a long time without suddenly becoming expensive? Should I use a model with such an age/running performance rather to the hybrid or 350er? Is any equipment or a certain gearbox not recommended or the absolute must? And which should I take? RX or GS? What do I want? In any case, a lot of comfort, also a lot of performance, and as little trouble as possible. r/many km bought and experiences made? Are there possibly even changers of Mercedes?
