2006 Lexus IS350 105k miles I noticed a hiss coming from the engine when I step on the gas pedal @ slower speed. however, I don't hear the hiss if I go over 40mph. Am I the only who has this issue? What could goes wrong?

I am not sure if this is called "problem". I drove my 2006 IS350 from LA to Seattle last weekend and I experienced the same. RPM stayed HIGH when doing downhill. This might be the down hill assistance feature. My 2010 toyota Highlander does this the last time we drove from seattle to Vegas. Even though the RPM raised, but the speed did not raise. I think this is good thing.

Hello, My cousin has a a 2006 IS 350 that he recently got into a light head-on collision and he bought it back from the insurance company. The car is fully loaded with 97k miles. I want to buy it back from him. Here is my concern/question: I believed that are a couple recalls that haven't been taken care of. 1) Will the dealer still fix the recalls if it has been in accident? 2) @97k, what kind of service(s) do I need, assume he didn't do the 90k service. How much will that cost at a independent shop? 3) does it need timing belt or this car runs on timing chain? Thanks
