  1. Hello, all! I'm so glad to be back to these forums. I sold my 99 ES and was using an in-between car (Nissan) for quite a while until I was able to afford my LS430 that I have now...and I love it! Question: I recently returned from a 4 week vacation. My car was in a carport the whole time. On my first drive I noticed creaking sounds in the car that appear to be coming from the windows. Before I left there was not a single creak in my car. I searched the forums and found a couple posts that had (have) this issue. I tried the silicone spray, but no luck. I definitely don't think it's the leather. It's most prominent when going over bumps and going around corners. One of the things I love about this car is the super-quiet interior, but now it's not! :cries: Any help is appreciated! JIM
  2. Glad we could help! Enjoy your "new" car! :)
  3. Just noticed that my dealer (Lexus Mission Viejo, CA) just up'd all their services by about $20 each.
  4. I've been having the sporadic rough shifting lately and wanted to use the SeaFoam and Trans Tune products. If I'm thinking correctly, SeaFoam can treat the oil and gas. Will it treat the oil as effectively if I'm not adding it with a fresh oil change? The Trans Tune is for the transmission. Last year I had a transmission service (drain & fill) - will it be effective if I add it to the transmission fluid even if it's the fluid isn't going to be changed any time soon? I'm sure the products come with directions, but any input on usage would be great. Any other comments/suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks!
  5. Thanks, SK! Got your amail on the Ash site. This write-up really helps alot!
  6. Is that really considered "light" rollover damage? Too bad.
  7. I joined! :D I'm driving a bucket, but I gotta start somewhere! See ya on the track...
  8. I think LexKid is 45. We're still guessing at IndiasFinest... :)
  9. I swear by the Swiffer Dusters. So easy and they work well! :D
  10. Hi. This seems to be very common with Lexus/Toyota. Here a couple of links to previously discussed topics: http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...topic=16235&hl= http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...topic=11283&hl= Basically, letting the car warm up and allowing the RPMs to drop make a significant difference in shift feel from park to drive/reverse. Let us know how it turns out.
  11. My normal city driving is my 12 miles (roundtrip) to work. All side streets. I get about 18 mpg. Last trip to Vegas (300 miles, all highway) I got 29 mpg. 1999 w/ 23,000 miles.
  12. The first ad I remebering seeing was the one where the LS was driving on the railroad tracks with a phonograph (record player) sitting in the backseat. With every bump the Lexus took the phonograph never skipped. I still remember it to this day. I was sold on Lexus in 1999 when I went to my first Lexus Test Drive event. Fell in love with the ES and eventually bought one. :)
  13. Any fellow LOC members use the Samsung i700? I'm looking to purchase a cell phone/pda combo. I use Verizon coverage and would like any input from other i700 users (pros & cons). Thanks!
  14. congrats! which background color? silver?
  15. lexus.com...? never heard of it! yup, that's where i borrowed the pic from! :)
  16. Nice car! I thought there was something different in your avatar. :) Enjoy!!
  17. Here's a pic of the card (don't worry - it's not a real account #) :D Mine is metallic silver in the background, not white. I most likely won't be using the rewards to buy a car, but I will use them for services and accessories. I never really used to be a credit card user until I started doing online banking. Now I can use a credit card like an ATM - when I use the card I note it in my checkbook and make an online payment once a week, thus avoiding finance charge. Works well for me and it's nice to get reward points back for buying everyday stuff! :)
  18. Got my Lexus Visa card today. It's a sharp looking card - metallic silver with a large Lexus symbol in the middle. It will be nice to start earning some points towards service and/or a new Lexus!! :) Anyone else getting one?
  19. Wow! Nice job! I would love to have that in my ES! :)
