Default O/T This seems hardly possible?

Hi,

This is very strange.

Just for fun, I ran a serach on Auto-Traders: 2004 Lexus RX330, AWD, any distance. The search turned up 111 cars spanning 5 pages. Not ONE car is within 500 miles of my zip code (94024). Closest location is 600 miles away. What's the chance of that happening?

Guess everyone in the western states is holding onto their 2004 Lexus RX330s.

Just test drove one as we were considering buying an RX330. Felt very dated and was not impressed.
Engine was not very smooth and was very noisy on the highway, I was surprised considering the reputation of Lexus.

Hi Pong,

Is the "AWD" part of the search parameter? Maybe that's why none showed up. Not everyone lists their cars properly. Try doing the search w/o the AWD and you'll probably get numerous hits. Of course, now you have to sift through each ad looking for the AWD.

So how's the Ruf doing? Hope all is coming together for you? Take care

Edward

Hey Pong, I just notice that you included your zip in your orig post. I tried a search with 100mi limit and got 35 or so hits. Sifted through and found quite a few with AWD. Happy hunting!
