Hey there everyone, bought my wife an 96 LX 450 last night for taking the 4 kids around town. It's very nice and was well kept, but being the anal retentive auto owner that I am, I need a little direction on maintenance schedules and where to locate parts.
It has 129k miles and no owners manual so I am unsure of what type of maintenance schedule it is supposed to be on. I checked Lexus.com and it has a PDF version of the manual, but the one section they fail to provide is the service schedule. I would really like to NOT have to bite the bullet and buy one of the over priced ones on ebay.
Also I'm guessing it is probably in need of a transfluid change and a filter, so I was wondering if there are any sites that sell "toyota" or "lexus" genuine parts other than going to the dealer, meaning they sell them cheaper than the dealer does. Sort of like AtlanticBritish does for Land Rover owners.
Finally, is there a Haynes manual available or something similar for this vehicle, maybe a land cruiser equivelant?
thanks in advance everybody.
oh yah one last thing, the driver visor was signed by Sammy Sosa, anybody know anything about that? Any chance he owned this LX before me? In which case I'll have to sell it, I'm a Brewers fan! hahaha JK!
