LS/SC

Tisk, tisk. While there are some minor and rather trivial issues that pop up ... I don't consider repairs that cost $600 and up "minor and trivial" while trying to keep 2 of these cruisers a float. Are working stiffs allowed on this forum?

I think you are dreaming. I have both a LS400 and a SC400. I have had ALL the common problems on both of them. I think your 1/20 estimate is wishful thinking. As you might suspect, I am not as impressed with Lexus' claimed "relentless pursuit of perfection" as most.
