My leather is certainly not soft, more like rhino hide, ha. It has really held up though, and I have 4 kids as well! I did get lucky, this was a one-owner vehicle when I got it back in 2015, owned by an older woman who garaged it. She only put 100k on it in the 11 years she had it so it looked...

Jeans mostly but varies. I've had mine for 10 years and have put 175k on it since i got it. I'm 6' 195lbs, I do have a habit of not sliding in or out on that bolster, but instead stepping into it and sitting. That's probably why, mostly. Passenger side is better as are the second row seats.

Wow! Looks great – mine are still holding up well at 275k, but i see this in the future.

You bet. This is actually in the Navigation System owners manual, a different book and fairly hefty as well. My wife is 5'2" but she drives a 2005 sequoia.

I believe it only applies to navigation, HVAC and a few other preferences on the infotainment system – the LCs don't have seat memory like the LXs do. I have a 2004 as well.

Yep. I was just talking to my brother about the 2016's, like that look a lot. He has a 2015 LX and has upgraded tires and wheels – it looks much better. But, the 200's just drive differently – not bad at all but the 100 is just really hard to beat in a lot of aspects – I just have some...

I'm not a fan of the styling on these and prefer the pre-facelift LX570s, but that's a good deal.

Agree with you. I think it’s a souther truck but will check. Thx

There’s a 200 series LC in my area that just came up for sale, a 2010 with 245k miles and they’re asking 23k for it. Is that a reasonable price assuming it’s been taken care of? I know there are a lot of factors to consider — I’ve tried loading it into my Toyota site to check service history...

That's my favorite color, nice Cruiser!

Did you accidentally turn the screen off? There's a button on screen in the display settings, asking the obvious just in case. I did have screen issues on my 2004 several years ago, was unresponsive – it ended up being a bad Gateway ECU. Tried AC amp and new head unit first but did not fix...

I've driven a few 200s, both LXs and LCs – I do like the 2016+ LC updated look, and they're very well appointed. But, every time I climb back in my 2004 LC (even with 275k), I'm reminded how great it is – the seating position and size are just perfect to me.

Hey, I sent you a message but I’ve been using a Lexus master tech that has a place out in Eads — he’s meticulous and extremely knowledgeable.

I believe that’s normal according to the manual — but you may just have a bit too much oil if dipstick is reading high. Also, most here avoid any high mileage branded oil and stick with either Mobil 1 synthetic or just standard conventional oil. These engines are usually very easy on oil...
