Can’t find much searching the threads here….polling the room: do you use BG 44k or equivalent as a fuel additive? If so, how often? My mechanic is recommending it every 6 months of 7500 miles, says it will help save the converters in the long run.

For another data point, I recently bought a white/tan fully stock 2013 LC with 104k for $37,500 in NC from an individual. Zero rust, no accidents, solid maintenance records including all new fluids, tires, brakes, and intake manifold gasket within the last 5k miles. I immediately swapped the...

I’m right at 105k miles. Don’t believe previous owners ever offloaded. I’m gonna clean the boots off well like you suggested and keep an eye on them. In terms of checking for play, is it best to lift the front end and see if I notice any movement holding the wheel at 12/6 and then 3/9...

Really appreciate the detailed response here.

Lower ball joints on new to me 2013 LC. I’ve looked across the forum and can’t come up with a confident assessment of my current situation. How bad or good do these look? So far there isn’t anything abnormal I’ve noticed while driving but I’ve only had it about a week.

Must be gone already, don’t see it any more. Seems like a good price.

I just bought this LC200. Almost positive it has limited sequoia rims? Hub caps are a little discolored some so looking for new ones. Anyone here have any to get rid of? Any recommendation for best place to order some?

Is that the exact same as OEM from Toyota?

Is there a general consensus? Can’t seem to find a common thread searching the forum. When I was searching for my GX470 more people seemed to recommend KOYO over the Denso OEM. Two of my local indys recommend KOYO over the Denso for my ‘13 LC200. If OEM is the general preference, it seems...

This forum is part of the reason I’m so glad to be back in a LC. Have owned 100 series and LX570. Knew this rad was close so greatly appreciate the feedback. I think I’m gonna do some JB weld now just to help protect me when I drive it to the shop. I don’t have the time to do it myself. What...

New to me 2013 LC200. Knew it had the radiator crack and start of a leak when I bought it. Noticed some evidence of coolant spraying back on the power steering tank and engine filter as well as the battery on the other side. Have a 3 hr one way trip planned for this weekend. I will be replacing...

Yeah you got a few letters wrong. Update: I downloaded the mobile app. Logged in and it let me add the vehicle! Interestingly I also got the carfax this morning and the vehicle was originally bought in Puerto Rico and stayed there until late 2024. Maybe this had something to do with the VIN...

Yeah it’s a 2. Matches the full VIN on the carfax too.

That’s interesting. Was hoping I would experience the same today but no such luck. Were you accessing it from a mobile device or computer? I’ve tried it on both and the same result. Below is a screenshot of the page I navigate to.

Well admittedly feel pretty dumb. I could’ve sworn I read that the LC200 came with KDSS as an option and I assumed there was some sort of switch or button to adjust it. Now seeing that it comes standard and is a passive system. I look forward to learning more about the LC200 if I snag this one...
