DArustik Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Those are some tough questions right there and honestly I'd like to know the answers to some of them. I do believe I know the answer to one of them; in order to get the nav to work in different countries all you need is the disc of that country so it shouldn't be upwards of $200. Good luck with the rest though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Step Hen Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 You will need to change the software on the navigation unit for it to work with discs from another country as it will not read an Asia disc as is. And the warranty only applies for North America, so you will have no warranty coverage for the car in Asia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucasb7 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 If you still want to buy the car in Cali... I would say the best Northern California dealer is Lexus of Stevens Creek. They are awesome (ask for greg). They deal from the start they dropped 3-4k as their first offer. Considering the low supply of the 450h I had to search all over for the one I wanted I called over 13 dealers in NorCal and Stevens Creek was the most accommodating. I would say monterey/seaside and magnussens came in second, also Monterey offered to beat any other offer. But I actually found my car at Lexus Marin, they were pretty good but nothing like stevens creek. I know know nothing about SoCal but I have heard some good things about Longo Lexus.

Soaristo Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I have a 01GS3 and is considering ship it back to Taiwan. I know the dealerships in Taiwan are not friendly enough to service the car not to mention about updating the navigation. any one knows if the software can be changed w/o going to the dealership?
