Here’s some more pictures and front page of carfax. Dropped the price to 18k.

Asking 18,000 I bought this mid 2024 for my wife but I want to get her something with more tech. Southern vehicle with decent maintenance history at Lexus. It does have a camera on the passenger mirror and grill. Headrest TV’s are a little old-fashioned but work. 2 key fobs, I just programmed...

I ended up walking because a 2014 with better records and 145k miles popped up for 28k that I'm gonna try and pick up instead.

Looking at a 2015 LX570 with 172k miles, no accidents, no rust, silver on black in good condition. It has every option with dynamic cruise, ML sound, cool box, rear entertainment etc. Decent service records and radiator flushed a few times as well as recent spark plug replacement at Lexus. No...

I recently purchased a 2010 LX570 for my wife and having some AC troubles I need to resolve ASAP, she’s always carrying around our 3yo and 3 month old. Whenever I have the hood open I don’t seem to have an issue, but with the hood closed when it’s hot and idling for a few minutes, the AC light...

I'm having a similar problem with my 2010 but the compressor disengages at idle. I switched the MG CLT relay in the driver-side fuse box with the CDS FAN relay. Those were the only 2 that looked the same to me. I know my issue is probably related to heat, low refrigerant, bad compressor or a...

Bubbles from the radiator with the cap off. I bought a new OEM radiator cap and have been driving it. There’s a very small amount of coolant that’s come out of the radiator cap. I guess I have another leak causing air to get in the system or blown HG. Gonna buy a lisle combustion leak detector...

I replaced the gasket and everything sealed up. I bled the air out and no bubbles at idle for 10 minues, but every 2 minutes or so at 2k RPM’s I’ll get a large bubble. Can this be from the coolant circulating?

That’s more reassuring than not, thank you. I found a gasket local to me and I’ll be replacing this afternoon. I hope after I replace and burp again I don’t have any bubbles, that’ll be the sign.

I always try to run OEM and will probably end up having to wait, I just hate the fact it’s spewing coolant all over my engine. Underneath is already a mess. Brake parts cleaner isn’t doing a good job cleaning.

Thanks for the tip. Did your vehicle run hot? Or caught yours before? Not sure how sensitive these engines are to those elevated temps.

I did replace it during the TB job, I think I rolled it when shoving the inlet tubing inside. I’m worried the local Toyota won’t have it.

Just finished the timing belt on my newly purchased 07 470. Everything went fine and I’ve driven for about 150 miles but I don’t drive very long trips, 10-15 minutes each trip never in traffic. First long drive I took it out, and while sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic I noticed my AC quit...

Thanks for all the replies, it had some rust on the AHC system it looks like but I think that was the worst of it. 07 with 180k miles no accidents, purchased this afternoon for 14.5k. Paint/body is in amazing shape.
