    Should I be worried about rust buying a 200-series?

    Well, I've got bad news. Or maybe good for you guys. We drove a LX yesterday and we're out. I forgot how terrbible the seating design is. It's essentially carried over unchanged from the 100-series. My wife looked at it and said - "You mean, you'd have to build something to go over the seats so...

    Looks like they'll work with me on a higher mileage 08/09 LX. Thanks for the lead. You guys are a wealth of knowledge.

    Should I be worried about rust buying a 200-series?

    Likely some. Havn't turned a wrench in years but I built a small block back in high school and installed some semi-custom airbag suspension for a tacoma I lowered in high school (I know, I know. I was a kid...).. I think I'll likely do the oil at wherever because its cheap and needs it often...

    Got good looking one in Houston. Little rust but a little bit of fluids on the skid plate. Fully serviced at LX. Any Cool. I'll check them out. Thx.

    They called a minute ago. Its gone : ( I have been using the lexus driver's site. Definitely looking for fully serviced. Back to the drawing board... Ive got a guy at Autonation toy in town with a search saved on their network so I should get a heads up as soon as one comes in there. Do any of...

    Should I be worried about rust buying a 200-series?

    Agreed. I had no idea that the LX could take 87 and handle tires stock. There’s a loaded 08’ LX in Wichita at a lexus dealer right now. Its got 200k but 1 owner and asking price is 19k. Im hoping its not a rust bucket underneath, but, it’s in Wichita so...

    Should I be worried about rust buying a 200-series?

    Thats a pretty convincing argument. Im not going to change anything drastic on it. I just want slightly beefier tires and a bit more clearance. Most of my crawling is to the park and gymnastics.

    Will do.Thank you.

    Should I be worried about rust buying a 200-series?

    Yeah. Thats what I thought. Guess Im sharing a camry another week or two : ( AHC is starting to sound like a better fit for our family. We’re likely never rock crawling. Do you have to stick to stock tire size to avoid rubbing on the low setting? Offroad tires required, size optional.

    Should I be worried about rust buying a 200-series?

    Thanks. Great insight. We want this to be a 20 year truck so I hear you on the rust. I love the AHC on the LX, but you get KDSS with the Cruiser. I would probably use AHC more than the KDSS would engage since we mostly stick to forrest roads without too much articulation. I doubt I'll ever have...

    How many of you guys run 87? I thought it was retuned or something. I still prefer the look of the lc but the lx’s AHC has always been super appealing. Do you run 87 when you tow or under heavier loads?
  14. jakemccurdy

    Should I be worried about rust buying a 200-series?

    Wait... what? You can run 87 in a 570? I thought they required 91. Does it effect mileage? What do you get in yours on 87?

    Should I be worried about rust buying a 200-series?

    Yeah, they’re nice but I rather have the range And look of the LC. Im coming from an mdx and sick of premium gas. My order of preference is 200, 460, 570. Of course Ive been sharing my wifes camry for almost a week already so I might take whatever drives up next. The LC is a bit of a stretch for...

    Should I be worried about rust buying a 200-series?

    Great advice and appreciate the note on the dealers. It's just tough with so few in the market, it's got to look like a pretty done deal before I fly cross county to inspect. I'm looking at a GX460 2012 in Seattle right now. Can you recommend where find a reputable 3rd party inspector (in...

    Should I be worried about rust buying a 200-series?

    Awesome. That's easier than I thought. I assumed surface rust would be on any car above the mason dixon line and that knocks out a lot of trucks. The two we're looking at are at Toyota/Lexus dealers so I feel fairly okay buying without being there to inspect. Is that something I could get them...

    Should I be worried about rust buying a 200-series?

    Thanks for the quick reply. Good to know. I'm clueless when it comes to rust and probably won't be able to fly out and inspect before purchase. Do you know if Rust is typical from northern cars on the 200-series? Would you avoid any 08-09 from the north?

    Should I be worried about rust buying a 200-series?

    We're looking to get into our first LC and aiming at a lower cost higher mileage 200-series. Should I be worried about rust at all? I've seen a few from the northeast that are showing surface rust underneath. The car will live in AZ so I'm wondering if I should even care on a 2008-2009? Once...
