Trade In My 08 Es350 In For...

[trekguy77]

...an 07 LS460 with 61000 miles, $8100 in options, and the dreaded wind noise?

The car is super clean, one owner and priced at $37k before trade.

Should I ask the dealer to perform the J.Cearney wind noise fix as part of the deal, or have them perform the Lexus TSB fix by replacing the front side glass? The valve springs were fixed and the car has a warranty to 100k miles.

Thanks!

So you yourself have heard the wind noise?

I wouldn't do it.

[trekguy77]

Yes. As soon as the car approached 35 mph, I heard it.

Has anybody definitively solved the problem?

[trekguy77]

I guess the triangle replacement works with good results.

[SW03ES]

With good results...

The fact of the matter is that a lot of these cars were bought back by Lexus...

I don't think I would buy an LS that has the wind noise problem IMHO

Thanks for your input; I am leaning in that direction as well.

I may just put 2 new rear tires on the ES and wait for the redesign.
