LexKid630 Posted April 13, 2005 Author Share Posted April 13, 2005 How much for an rx300 water pump? Does the position in the engine make the price so high? ← Isn't it covered under warranty? ← for how long? I'm just wondering b/c my friend told me that he needed to replace his 00 water pump for $3500. I was wondering if it's the same price as my 2003. I can't believe it's that much.

cruznroadking Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 The waterpump is covered under the power train warranty for 6 years 70,000 miles. My friend recently had the waterpump, timing belt, cam & crankshaft seals replaced for about $1,000 on his 99 RX300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexusfreak Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 How many miles on the RX Lexkid? & do you have the original 'in service date' when the vehicle was purchased new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexKid630 Posted April 14, 2005 Author Share Posted April 14, 2005 How many miles on the RX Lexkid? & do you have the original 'in service date' when the vehicle was purchased new? ← His 2000 rx has 52k miles on it. He bought it September 9th of 2000 brand new. He has everything.....all the papers...everything you would get when buying it new... I mentioned that it's under the warranty, and he said his dealer (also mine ) said that it wasn't under power train.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowtie3 Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Take it to a Toyota dealer for the water-pump replacement. The RX 300 and the Highlander powertrain are exactly the SAME; the difference is that the Toyota dealer charges about ONE HALF the price of a Lexus dealer. [ and uses the SAME parts ] I have found that the technicians at the Toyota dealer know as much about our 2000 RX 300 as the techs at the Lexus dealer.

GOOD SUGGESTION!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
