  1. I ended up going to Sears to have my battery replaced and costed me half of what the dealership quoted me. Will have the service guys check out the ECU settings for me in my next service there. Thanks again katzjamr.
  2. Thank you guys! The main point for my question is whether it can be Do-It-Yourself or I have to go to dealership to do it. I searched before I sent out my post. I saw cduluk's post up the top and I found that very useful however he's describing what need to be done AFTER battery is disconnected (as SW03ES mentioned) but not addressing whether we can change our own battery without any adverse effects. I remember seeing something like you have to go to the dealership to change the battery because the car memory stores information related to the communication to the hybrid battery (something like that) ... Thanks to katzjamr for confirming me that it can be DIY and we just need to reset the windows/ stereo/ NAV memories.
  3. The starter battery went dead this morning and AAA came over to jump start it. The AAA technician said it's common for our hybrid cars starter battery to go bad if not driven for a while (the battery is almost 4 years old so need to be replaced soon anyways) Just wondering if anyone has swap out the starter battery yourself? Is it just straight forward replacement like replacing batteries in other cars then reset the windows settings ? Thank you.
  4. Wow very nice job !! btw how did you dye the front cup holder pieces and rear center piece ? did you take them apart or cover black part with tape ?
  5. Love the new car shine ! Seems like the car's in a booth ? wax job ?
  6. I like it ! Could you take a pic of the mounting (from the bottom) ? Thanks.
  7. Cool how much for a pair of mirrors ? Please keep us updated regarding the installation.
  8. I'd say bring it back to the dealer and have them fix it for you ...
  9. wow sounds like a cool project ... make sure u post the diy and before/after pictures
  10. You need to call Lexus to "boost" the drained hybrid batteries ... never know the proper procedures too but calling them is the way to go. Please keep us posted on how you revive the car :)
  11. sounds like the gears have worn out ... try to take it apart and change them ? if you are not comfortable doing that then find a bodyshop/dealership ?
  12. Agree with jrober ... demo car is worse than lease because it was driven by so many people ... imagine each test drive is 10 miles then hundreds of people had driven the car without care in mind since the car is not theirs ... depends what option is on the car ... I'd say low 40k at most.
