Used Lexus Cars for Sale near Bakersfield, CA

Great features, roomy, great performance and smooth ride.

This 20-year old SC with 123K miles on the clock was a one-owner car, serviced at a Portland Lexus dealership for its entire life up to the moment I drove it away. I look at this car as a millennium icon, because its at the pinnacle of luxury with tech thats 20 years old but still very functional. However one outrageous item is a nav system thats DVD based, meaning the car has no access to the internet and no possibility of updating its maps. Think of how many roads and neighborhoods have been built since then! Still, the car drives out perfectly, stops like it hit an invisible taffy wall, and corners like a wallowing hippo. Wait. Really not bad, but does need coilovers all around and swaybar attention. The condition of this unit is damn near perfection, and it will take some doing to maintain it as well as the first owners did. But this is one of the dwindling fleet of early stock 430s which has the potential to drive beyond 300K. Its a great lifestyle choice at a time when I could have picked a garden-variety GS350 or Toyota Avalon, etc., but its road-going style is far more distinctive than those. Fourteen grand from a Lexus dealership for a perfect as-new daily driver of exceptional value. Shazam. I rule!

Great car and smooth, quiet ride. Good features and proven reliability.

Value is everything with the Lexus RX350. This model year of 2009 was the last year of the 2nd generation ( 2004-2009) of this model. The engine is a 3.5 liter V-6 bullet proof engine 2GR-FE model that if properly taken care of ( oil & oil filter change every 5K miles-ideally) , will last at least 300k miles. This is the car that really does check all the boxes. A 2009 is at an age where mileage is still acceptable between 100-160k, which is just fine for a Toyota-Lexus. At a price of between $7,999-10,500 (at least here in SoCal) it’s like getting a nearly new car for the price of just an ok car. All the features, accessories and quiet - luxury ride. And with comfort (95% of this model have leather and moonroof) its a no brainer. Airbags all over the place. Lots of cargo room in back ( find one with the cargo cover !) . If you can find a one owner, dealership maintained car that’s the best! ! Remember, the demographic that bought these babies new could afford to take care of these with the normal maintenance. These first owners were also older so they didn’t drive these hard. Except for bad accidents you really don’t see these in junkyards so that says a lot. If you don’t live in the rust belt of snow and salt on the roads this car just keeps going and going. Absolutely the best car for a student! The RX is the “Honda Civic” of the Lexus world which means you see them everywhere, for a reason. This model of car has been sold since 1998 ! So when price, quality, dependability,, safety, usefulness , and just plain looks all come together, it’s a no brainer of a great car. The ONLY, negative is fuel mileage with 18mpg city and 23 freeway.
