New members cannot post any for sale items. Do not post a for sale item in another forum to bypass the filter as you will be warned/banned and the thread removed.

All posts in the buy and sell section MUST!!! 1. post a location of the seller 2. have an asking price 3. state if new or used( then how old ) 4. receipt from original purchase, including where it was purchased 5. your name ( should be no problem if you would like someones money in exchange ) 6. Shipping, if it is included or not and how much to areas 7. NO EBAY LINKS.

Hello all, just wanted to introduce myself and i wanted to ask some questions. my wife has a 2002 rx300 which now has almost 100k miles. she has had it for 2 years now and since we are now married i take care of the cars :D well she really hasnt taken care of it and i know i have alot of work. heres the history. she bought it in 2006 may with 47k miles. in 2 years she has put about 50k miles(she goes to work for her fathers business on the weekends which is over 100miles each way while she goes to school full time during the week). anyway 3 months after she just got the car the engine had internal failure and lexus put a new short block in. so on the new engine it has about 50k on it and i dont really know how many oil changes she has done but im guessing 3..in 01jan08 the transmission went and we had a rebuilt tranny put in ... anyway i just did the oil change 2500 miles ago and am going back in a short while when it hits 3500. when i got the car it was a mess. shakes,steers to one side, carpet and leather have not been taken care of. so first thing was first i put new brake pads, rotors on all 4 wheels did an allignment. its better but also i just purch a new iac valve which will be going in tomorrow morning. my question is because the engine is new and tranny is rebuilt what should i be looking for on these cars to go first? i was going to do spark plugs, coil, ignition wires and than do the belt and hoses to start. am i missing anything? being that the engine itself has 50k miles and tranny maybe 15k.. thanks Calvin

mines is a 2002 2wd but i get 20 in the city and 24 on the hwy.

I found a new iac valve for $130+shipping and my mech. will do the install for $120. Do these prices sound fare?
