Thanks for the input. We are also looking at the Pilot, 4Runner, and
Murano.

That engine was susceptible to oil gelling. We had one and got rid of it at
30k miles because of that problem nothwithstanding the very expensive
service we had by the book at our local Lexus dealer. If you can find one
where the oil was changed at least every 3000k miles and had the
documentation then you ought to be OK. If you every break the key, it will
run around $250.00 to replace. Brakes wear out quickly in the rear; ours
had to be rebuilt for around $300.00 at 26k miles by our friendly Lexus
dealer. Still have the original brakes at 60k on our 03 Pilot. In all, an
expensive vehicle to run.

I'm looking at getting my wife a 2000 - 2001 RX. What are some things to
look for? Are the transmissions as bad as some message boards make them out
to be?
