VBdenny started following new old car , Blow Outs On Low Profile Tires , SC430 What to look for when buying and 6 others

Blowouts are not all that common as new tires are far superior to ancient tires. I have never had a blowout with any of my low profile tires but I do frequently check the pressures. Over or under inflating a tire is where the trouble begins. I did have a blowout on a brand new tire on a brand new Suburban which surely isn’t a low profile. ZP tires have stiff sidewalls.

Found a nice 2003 SC430 vert locally. I have a friend who wants a convertible for his wife. Looked at the car once and seems pretty clean. Minor front left CarFax with no airbag deployment. Car is silver with black gut. Going back and would like to know what specifically to check. Miles 116k in Norfolk. thanks

Yeah, there are still of us around.

My guess is a bad cell in the battery itself.

you can order the replacement on Amazon and get just the nylon part that breaks. Antennas get a little gummed up and it breaks the nylon teeth especially when old or cold,

With your Lexus there are TWO steps you need to do to program the Homelink. I know because I had the same issues. Look in your owners manual and carefully review the two step procedure and it will work just fine. Gave me a bunch of frustration until I was able to figure the process out.

Thanks. Everyone I know what surprised by the black on black as I have been known for always having mainly white vehicles. That said, my right foot has been overly happy so far.

Well folks, it had to happen. After 2 years with the IS250AWD, I realised it was out of power. All I can say is that the difference between 207hp and 460hp is immense. Not minding the loss of over 400lbs. either. Not to worry, I still have my 2004 ES330 (and a bunch of others). Becky, I know you'll approve. Denny

You don't even need a battery charger. Hook up jumper cables from another car Without any manuals or documentation I certainly would not disconnect the battery as you'll often need codes to set up the radio and things which you don't have. My neighbor whom I sold my 90 LS400 to, disconnected and the radio went into SEC mode. LUCKILY (for him) I knew the code still. After coming off your Porsche, the main adjustment you'll need to make is to your driving attitude. Gone is the performance handling and high performance braking ability. When the timing belt is changed there is a sticker they attach to the valve cover area that tells the miles and date. Generally only dealers and higher end shops bother so there is no way of knowing.if the tech missed this important step. There is no way to check a timing belt as they usually look brand new after 100,000 miles. I have never heard of one breaking on a Lexus in my 14 years on this website so for what it's worth. Denny

I guess HOW comes to mind.?

Possible Purchase of 2013 AWD IS 250
VBdenny replied to JerseyCoast's topic in 07 - 13 Lexus IS250 / IS350 / IS-F
Dealers buy that car at auction for about $23,000 depending on options, carfax and color -
Ahh Biily you say you can live with it but can you really? That would bother me. Forget the insurance just have it repaired. Then, I'd take the keys from your wife. Many people who "got hit" add the "got" part. My mom did and I've done it myself.

It really is beautiful and I like the grill however I'll bet this costs way more than a new Corvette which looks as, if not more, awesome.
