Just had my 2018 LX with 80,000 miles serviced and the tech noted my front shocks were showing a small leak as well as the steering rack. Did not recommend replacing now, but will within the next year. He also stated that this is common at this mileage. I know with the shocks it might be...

i should just keep my 2015 anyway. nobody wants it since i hit a deer and the airbags were deployed. its been 5 years and 50,000 miles since that's happened. I know it's fine, but no one else can see that.

its a black heritage. dealer in dallas says it was traded in at mazda in tulsa, then they sold to auction, then dealer in dallas bought from auction. just seemed too cut and dried and a lot of time wasted for that to happen. what are the chances it was in an accident and it was traded in so...

anything to be concerned with this back and forth on carfax? Up until May of 2022 there was consistent service at a toyota dealer.

if he really wants to get $150K for it, he might have better luck cleaning it up, having some professional photos taken and put it on Bring a Trailer.

asking 85 and getting it are two different things. the market is going down people. just wait it out. it'll come. high prices and high intertest rates are going to affect these guys.

I saw some Blue Methods at a shop yesterday. Killer looking and would be cool on gray, but I have Rock Warriors already so....

just changed mine in the '18 LX after 46K miles. it went dead as a doorknob.

just saying that I have a 2015 LC and a 2018 LX. I don't hate the 8 speed in the LX (never tried the LC), it's nice and smooth, but I'd rather have the 6 speed in the LC or LX. One thing I didn't like about the 8 speed was manual downshifting going down steep inclines. the 6 speed is much...

what the hell is the point of this isolation/separation of the two? It seems like total insanity to me. Tried to buy a battery for my Lexus LX at a Toyota dealership and they wouldn't sell it to me with the warranty. I could buy it, but it wouldn't be warrantied. Has it been this way since...

so i just ran into this problem this morning when trying to buy a battery for my 2018 LX at the toyota dealer that is closer to me than Lexus. sure they'll sell it but they won't warranty it. This is insanity. WTF is the reasoning behind this? every other business in the world warranty's the...

is the spare an HE w/ST Max?

this is the way. Question, with the seat covers, does the cooled air still come out to refresh your bits?

can confirm a new cowl fixed my problem. be sure you let the water soaked areas and carpet completely dry before putting it all back together.

Coming up on 85K on the 2015 and will probably do it then for the first time. Just had the second set done on the 2018 LX at 40K. Did they change material or something between the two years or the two brands (Toyota vs. Lexus).
