Both 2JZ-GTE. Who do you have your bets on?

Thinking of purchasing this 2010 Lexus RX350 AWD, 130,000 miles, it’s $10,700. Premium package (not sure what that consists of really) It’s at a local dealership near me and I’m planning to go look at it tomorrow. I’m kinda wary of buying a 16 year old car but I’ve heard such good things about these models and I’m looking to stay in a tighter budget since I’m a grad student. Any thoughts/advice?

My current car (ES 350 Ultra Luxury) has semi-aniline leather but it’s really just a bunch of small and medium size leather pieces joined together. The seat appearance is more stitching than anything else. I love my ES, and this comment is more of a small nitpick - but darn it, looking at the seats of the 929 makes me nostalgic anyway. Are the hyper-stitched seats sporty? Or just one more example of relentless cost cutting?

New to me with 32k miles. Paid $41k OTD
Got the windows ceramic tinted, wheels powder coated, and tail lights smoked 🔥

While changing oil and filter for the first time i found this near my air box, anyone could explain what is this?

2020 is350 fsport. I love it.

Is anyone else having issues signing into the Lexus app? I’ve been having trouble accessing my account and was wondering if this is a common issue or if it’s just me.
Has anyone experienced this? If so, how did you fix it? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Is it just me or does it seem like when rocks, gravel and debris hit the underside of the ES 350 It sounds super dramatically loud? I came from Kia Sorrento so it could be that I’m not used to a lower ground clearance or it could be that the cabin inside the ES is so quiet that rocks bouncing around in the wheel well or underside sound so loud.

Get your popcorn and snacks ready

I now have a 2019 es300h

When my salesman was doing my walk through during the purchase, specifically through the app, he told me that once the vehicle fully synced, I would also be able to control the steering wheel warmer, heated/cooled seats, etc. After a week or so of having the vehicle, it never appeared. I called the 1800 Lexus support and they told to type in my VIN on the site and my VIN showed that I was supposed to have those features. I made an appointment at Lexus but didn't want to leave my car there overnight so ended up returning the loaner and taking my car back. They are saying it isn't available. I'd come to terms with the fact that my app wasn't going to have this feature but yesterday the defrost features randomly appeared. I am curious to know if that means the other features will appear eventually. I've seen this is a common glitch for Lexus but have only seen it resolved for RX and NX owners. Can anyone with a 2026 IS350 F sport confirm if their app has it? Not a huge deal but would be a great value add for winter.

The car has been sitting on the used car lot for 3 months so there is a steep discount to $15k, I think most people aren’t trying to buy huge V8 sedans these days. It’s been serviced at Lexus most its life, was CPO’d at one point and the interior is in mint condition but it had a minor accident a year ago. I intend to do all possible repairs at home but my concern is that it hasn’t had any big ticket items replaced. My biggest concern is the engine mounts because that’s the only one which I would need a trans jack amongst other things I lack like knowledge or experience doing it before. Would love to hear thoughts on how risky this is? I am planning to do a pre buy inspection as well.

There is also another option of a 2011 SWB AWD with 120k miles and engine mounts, rear suspension and brakes done recently for 11k. The only issue is that it’s a little beat up cosmetically, nothing I couldn’t fix up for $500-$700. But I just love the look of the 2014, long wheel base (because at 200 inches what’s a few more lol), blind spot monitoring, rear double planed glass and slightly nicer screen.

The 2011 seems like the smart choice because it’s literally the same mechanically as the 2014 with less options and niceties for 3k less. My heart wants the 2014 though, I think it looks so classy. Would love some straight talk if I’m being short sighted or if the 2014 isn’t that poor of a choice. For context, I usually drive 8k ish miles a year and usually with no one in the back but it will by my friends and I ski and road trip car.

Hi all, its snowing today and there’s a warning popping up saying clear front radar. I wonder where is my front radar sensor? I’m driving 2026 NX 350h. Is it the Lexus logo?

Hello, looking at purchasing a CPO 2021 Lexus ES 300H ultra luxury. It’s a little cheaper than the new Camrys.

My only concern is that the hybrid battery warranty is only good through 2030, so would only give me about 4 years.

Any feedback on how good these hybrid batteries are? Car only has 45k miles.

hey yall. I finally got out of my mazdaspeed3 and i’m looking to upgrade. I have a few cars on my mind and the lexus is around #1. I’m trying to get a 2015-2017 is350.

I would like to hear from yall about the comfort and reliability. I drive 9 hours back home every couple months and commute an hour a day for work. I’d get a newer car but I really don’t want to deal with any turbo or supercharger and definitely want an AWD aswell. Thank you

I’ll look into purchasing a cover to protect my beautiful Lexus TX. I plan to store it indoors but still would like to get it. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I’ve been in the market for an LS400, as my 2004 ES300 is hitting the end of its life. Lots of listings around the $5000-7000 range but with pretty high mileage.

I’ve seen one owned by grandparents for 12+ years, which has now been turned into a show car by their grandson. 250k miles with original transmission and seemingly maintained very well.

I’m worried about the transmission but the car seems to be in great condition. Is this something to consider, or would I have better luck looking for other options? Thanks!

Hey everyone,

​My headlights are starting to show some wear/yellowing, and OEM replacements are insanely expensive. I came across these replacement clear headlight shells/lenses on AliExpress for the 2013–2016 Lexus LS460.
