I have a 2004 Lexus RX 330 w/242k miles. I bought the car new in 2003. I am giving it to my grandson soon. I am considering replacing it with a 2 year (or so) old Acura MDX, Volvo XC90, or another RX. Any advice? ---

You’ll want to make sure all maintenance is up to date before giving it to him, in my opinion As for your next vehicle . . . out of the ones you mentioned, I’d skip the Volvo. Get the Acura MDX or another Lexus RX ---

> [@NealWaldman](#): > > Any advice? You bought a new vehicle and it still must be serviceable so why would you even consider a used luxury vehicle . And why would it be back on the market so soon anyway ? I have a Volvo bought new but would never buy a used one or Mercedes and BMW used.
