Report

Congratulations LXG and welcome to the club! I haven't driven a great 4x4 in years, but it is a lot of fun. The last one I took out was my mom's '02 LandCruiser. It's in the caribbean so hers is a little different from the US market LC. For example: her's seats ten passengers, it's a diesel, manual transmission, two fuel tanks, spare tire mounted on the back, manually locking front hubs, and live axles front and rear. Hmm, looks like I need to start looking for a LC or LX :D

Hey Neo, it sounds like you're getting a pretty good deal. I understand that he's doing almost all of these repairs prior to the actual sale? One thing I know for sure is that you'll have to do is the timing belt/water pump service; per Lexus it should be done every 90k miles. To get a better idea of what all has taken place with the car you could pull carfax on it and take the VIN to Lexus so they pull the file of what has been done to the car. Let us know what happens, and post some pics too

Why is it so amazing?? Any car with proper care and maintanence should last you that long. I had a Grand Prix back in 1990 that went over 200k with no problem. There is no reason Lexus will not do more than that. Just take care of it and it will take care of you - very simple circle of life! Sorry bud, I disagree. I owned probably the worst car that Mercedes Benz ever invented, the 1998 ML320, and I maintained it just as Mercedes specified and that piece of was in their shop more than it was on the road or in my driveway. I had them print out all the warranty work that was performed and it was a few pages long. The two final blows for me were when I had to replace the transmission at approximately 65,000 miles and then several thousand miles later the transfer case followed suit. Now, I realize that cars are all machines and nothing is perfect, but it was ridiculous how awful that car was. My family had many other Mercedes at the same time as I did, and we all shared similar experiences. My grandparents had a 1997 S500, my uncle had a 1998 S500, and my father owned a 52 passenger bus overseas and they all suffered the same fate. They were either dropping transmissions or A/C not working and not being able to be fixed. So to sum it up, I believe Toyota/Lexus were on to something when they set out in the 80's to build something that was supposed to run with the big boys, and be an awesome contender among the worlds best. Long live Lexus
