after 13 months and 15K miles on the 07, the only thing that i'm not in love with is that silly spoiler. good thing i can fit a 9'6" longboard inside the cabin as the one time i put a stand up paddleboard on top (at 12') the spoiler prevented me from opening the back of the truck.

i have the weather tech mat in the back of my 07. fit isn't all that tight, but it gets the job done. no cut outs.
as for mats. up front i have the catch all extremes in grey. matches the interior well and after surfing pretty much every day and filling them with sand about every week, i'm...
my 2007 LX looks so much better to me right now. despite the larger engine for 2008, there will likely be a lot of people for years to come that would prefer a 2007 to a 2008.

i went back several times with no suggestion they do anything other than fix the stuff that was wrong and set my personal settings. according to the PDF from the lex site, 6 months or 5k miles. i'm just following directions.

decide what your price is for that particular vehicle. if they can do it, buy it. if not, don't.
if you get it for what you think is the right price, who cares about anything else. i walked out of 5 dealerships buying my truck. they throw 6 people at you telling stories and what not...
maybe they wait and see what the 08 has under the hood? i'd still go with a 3500 diesel based on tranny, but the tow capacity of the next LC might be considerably higher?????? we'll see april 4.

on a used car you have to completely detach yourself from the whole process if you want to escape with your head. dealers live on service and used car sales. it's nothing for a dealer to make 5000+ bucks on the used car deals. they get them so cheap it'd make your head spin.
make an offer...
funny you guys should mention south bay toyo. the running joke in toyo is that the worst dealership in the country is the one 1/2 mile from the headquarters. per my friends that work closely with toyo.
i'm somewhat suspect of south bay lexus as well... when searching for the LX i got the...
my first service is coming up in about 1500 miles and i am curious what dealership around LA/OC people would recommend. lx mission viejo (where i got the truck) is really suspect. people here seem to be skeptical of them at best and i've not been too impressed with my experiences.
Anyone...
da hapa.
which dealership are you referring to with the bad service? mission viejo?
they delivered my vehicle with 1. tire pressure light flashing 2. tires to 40PSI and the last mistake that i just delivered:
no CD changer casette. i was so angry. went to put a burned CD into the...
if you've got 16's, why change? very few tire choices for the 18. PRICEY.
if you get 18's, live in LA area and want a deal on some OEM michelin LTX's with around 2500 miles..... PM me...

did you feel a change in power anywhere? any bogging down on long inclines? change in gas mileage?
i love the look. also like the idea of a 'truck' tire. if i want to soften the ride when the princess is in there, i can just go to 'comfort'.

by different clips, does it mean that this bumper can't be made to fit the later MY's?
does anyone else make a simple small bumper like this for the later MY's if this cannot be made to fit?

'rain x' was simply an example. i'd really like to be able to search for two or three words in succession, for example 'power steering failure', or something like that. the current set up will search the three keywords power, steering and failure bringing up many more threads than i want...
i have tried every technique i can think of to search multiple words in succession and cannot get it to work. i've tried ", ', * and everything else i can think of. if anyone out there knows a trick to allow me to search, as an example 'rain x', without having search interpret it as a search...
simple as it sounds, it's happened to me in the past. drove me nuts. i felt so stupid not to have checked it.
note: if there is a rock there, it will inevitably be directly under the tire whenever you stop. have someone slowly roll the vehicle and see ALL of the tread.

i like the osprey packs. picked my first one up about a year ago and love it. it's one of the atmos series i do believe.
for really heavy duty stuff and high volume (for me it's backpacking full camping and flyfishing gear including waders and what not) i use an arcteryx bora. i've had it...
i find my LX to be very susceptible to road slant, i.e. roads that slope to the L or R for drainage. i thought there was something wrong with it initially, but even while driving the little prius in the carpool lane out here in CA that usually slopes to the L some correction is required. when...
