I heard Tesla is sending them all back to you. 😸

[@kenrobi1332]

Hey Scotty always great info. Just so you know, Cambridge has two plants North, South and a 3rd plant in Woodstock Ontario called West. The South plant builds the Lexus, and now the North and West build the RAV4. The North did build the Corolla until 2019. The North and South plants are actually attached, so are technically correct when you say they are built in the same factory but they are considered 2 different plants.

I bought a used, one-owner Lexus GS350 (2013) and love it. Had it checked out by a mechanic and other than some leaky shocks, it was perfect. The good thing is that a lot of times you can check online with Lexus and they will have service records for their cars. I was able to see that mine was serviced at the dealership up until the time I bought it. Saved a lot of money on a great car.

[@michaelshelby9306]

Very important***** Make sure you look underneath before buying used. Look for oil on the passenger side. This is a “front engine timing cover” leak which needs to be resealed. It is 3k job bc they have to remove the engine to get to it… independent mechanic and Lexus mechanic… You will also see the leak if the turn the wheel to the left or right while in park, get out of the car and look behind the wheel well. It will be wet. Either have that negotiated off the price or run… the RX has a great engine and super reliable but has issues with its engine timing cover..

That Lexus was a very good buy! Solid built, still looks great, solid engine and transmission, just all around great ride. That gas mileage really is not bad for a V6 pulling that much weight. Honestly, I would upgrade the stereo to have a better back up camera and call it a day. The Lexus will last the owner for many trouble free years.

[@BSD2000]

I just bought a 2013 Lexus RX450h for $15k. I have the original sticker and it's MSRP price was $57,320. Made in Japan. It has 145k miles on it. Looking over the service history, the only issues it had in 145k miles is a faulty O2 sensor and a burned out taillight. That's it. It drives, handles and looks like new - it was well taken care of and garage kept by the previous owner. Zero rust underneath. No leaks anywhere - the underside is bone dry. The previous owner followed the Lexus service schedule religiously and changed the oil, transmission and differential fluids, flushed the coolant and Hybrid coolant and the brake system. The spark plugs were replaced at 135K miles. The Lexus dealer I bought it from went over the car and replaced the brakes and rotors and put on new tires. They also did an alignment. According to the dealer, the hybrid battery still has 94% capacity and the hybrid system works perfectly. I'm getting 27MPG in mixed driving. I couldn't be happier and I plan on keeping it for a very long time. One more thing: buying from my local Lexus dealer was the most pleasant and enjoyable buying experience I ever had in my 50 years of experience of buying a car. They treated me with respect, dignity and bent over backwards to make sure I was satisfied. I did all the paperwork online and when I went for the test drive the car was detailed with a full tank of gas and ready to go. I came back from the test drive, signed the papers and was heading home in my RX450h within 90 minutes. They even drove my old car back to my house for me. I was so happy with how things went I actually sent a thank you card to my sales person in appreciation for being so kind and helpful. All dealerships should treat their customers as well as my Lexus dealership does. I'm a Lexus customer for life.

[@leedise2383]

A year and a half ago, we bought a 2014 Lexus RX350 with 77,000 miles on it. We paid $19,000. Bought it from a rural Toyota dealership. We took a trip this week and it went over 100,000 miles just about fifty miles from home. We had considered a used 2016 Toyota Highlander. Found a really nice one, the private seller was asking $29,000. It was very nice, with the long moon roof and captain's chairs in the front and rear. Almost bought it. But I thought I remembered Scotty saying that the 2016 Toyotas had GDI fuel injection. I didn't want any part of that, so we went with the older vehicle. Pretty much everything Scotty says about this 2012 model is true of ours. It's a great highway cruiser and does not get great gas mileage, but it's pretty good, considering. Rides nicely, very quiet, hauls a bunch of stuff, the seats are great, and the A/C pumps cold.

A well maintained top trim from the regular line will be much better than a poorly maintained bottom trim from the luxury line, sure.

We had one of these as a loner from the Lexus dealer the other day when our GX was being serviced and I can say that it was unequivocally the finest automobile I’ve ever driven.

[@tamiami34]

I love my made-to-order 2019 RX 350, which I bought new. I don't drive much anymore, so it should last me a decade plus. Best auto I've ever owned. But it was kinda pricey. Hey, I worked hard for many years, so I treated myself. No regrets.

[@robstanco6765]

Scotty -- HELP!!! I bought a 2002 RX300 with 250k miles for $3900. Put four brand new tires on it. Runs perfectly. No codes. Long term fuel trim is zero. I have no info about when the timing belt was last changed. I was recently given an estimate of $1100 for changing the timing belt/water pump, etc., but I'm on a fixed, very limited income. Is it worth it?

[@kilroynautilus7257]

THIS JOB ON THE CAMRY V6 COST ABOUT FIFTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS !

[@melvinwong4974]

I own 2x 2000 Sienna which should have the same engine 1MZ-FE engine which are not interference engine. When the timing belt goes. Just replace it along with a new water pump and away you go. Keep in your mind that it can go at anytime. So prepare yourself with a roadside membership. (CAA here in Canada) I think it’s called AAA in USA

[@marcramirez2524]

My 2020 Hyundai suv I was able to purchase for $23,000 and only 13k miles in early 2021. I now have 38k miles and between that time, only oil changes!

[@gestell]

I bought a 2018 RX350 with 16k miles last year for 44k ..did I get a good deal?

[@noraperez5616]

I’m on my third Lexus suv, I love them, totaled one, now I own a 330 and a 300 I love them

[@roymarteen7022]

Still have a 2014 -mileage sucks- only 12-13mpg in the city. But no issues at 167000miles - only changing the oil at 5k intervals as Scotty says😅

[@Andrew-kr2qg]

My wife has an RX, my neighbor has an RX, my aunt has a UX, my other neighbor has an GX, grandma has an RX, my sister has an MDX (it’s had transmission problems, but it does handle well). Mom is in the market for a new SUV, but she wants to buy a Telluride.

[@jackbn9353]

The problem with Lexus is that hideous grill that not even a mother could love.

[@bildungsroman2012]

Change oil every 5000 miles = 8050 km approx. Thank you, Scotty! From Canada 🇨🇦

[@williamf9023]

Michigan? It has PA plates and inspection stickers.

[@MikeSparksMusic]

We bought it and live in PA. We noticed it had a plate frame from a Lansing Lexus dealership and a ticket from the Detroit airport in it when we bought it.

[@classix848]

Guess I got a good deal for a 2012 RX350 with 48K mile for $17K.

[@rustbeltrobclassic2512]

paid 33k for a cpo 2018 gx460 premium It's been "okay" it's been in and out of lexus a few times. Imo toyota hasn't made a great product since 2007.

[@joshuapressley4441]

Scotty I always loved these I wanted to buy one my only concern nobody talks about is the oil line that’s know to fail in these the only replacement comes from Toyota but still has the same problem any thoughts anyone .

[@mikebearman1684]

I bought my Lexus RX350 privately with 80 k on the clock and a few months later checked it in for a 90k recommended service. I had only travelled approx 86k but thought be good to get this comprehensive service from the agent here in Tauranga NZ. To my surprise I was advised this car was on a recall list for a oil pipe replacement which was included in the service at no charge. The service mgr told me at pickup the car was like as new and did not require any additional work. Just drive, it he said. My third Lexus, following two GS300 cars which totally sold me on these vehicles. The new RX with a 2 litre turbo engine worries me tho. Think I will stick with the tried and true V6. Mike Bearman.

[@TheopolisQSmith]

So Scotty, is it a 2012 or a 2016? You called it both.

[@justinbuckley1939]

Neither, it’s 2013-2015

[@MikeSparksMusic]

2013

[@michelleadams5609]

The new RXs ride exceptionally rough. Made in Canada? My Lexus Is japanese made and no repairs in 7 years of ownership

[@Winterstick549]

I remember when 19 mpg was fantastic for a big 4x4

[@lasers33]

Is getting the hybrid version worth it? I saw a 2015 rx450h 81k miles for 15,995. I think it's a good deal

[@s.fraser5221]

Hoping Scotty /someone knowledgeable answers this question! It's a great one.

[@lightsfansofthewest481]

Yes.

[@ramoncarter6585]

I always liked Lexus SUVS remember when the small midsize RX came out back in the mid 90s saw a white thought looked so beautiful was still a kid at that time had some Lexus for toys hope you be able get your hands on a SC 400.

[@nukexD]

My brother wants my mother to buy a Lexus NX 200t 28k miles while I’m suggesting a rav 4 w/ 55k miles with leather seats and a moonroof for the “luxury” aspect. Both the same price I just know the 200t is turbocharged and us being from California gas is 5.40 for 91! No way she’s going to want a $100 gas tank every week!

[@Michael-we5xn]

Why is this titled “what the hell happened to Lexus”?

[@BinkyCA]

I have a 2010 RX 350 AWD with only 60k miles

[@casperbenj]

Lexus is the most stolen vehicle in my town and therefore very expensive to insure. I know a lady that has had 3 stolen from her driveway. She finally bought something else after the third one.

[@CharlieDontSurf1006]

Scotty if you get this please tell me what is the best most comfortable quiet tires for my 2011 Lexus RX 350?

[@wildhorses6817]

💥💥💥💥 Yes, please, what are the Best tires for these 3rd generation Lexus RX350 ? I have FWD and it is a 2015. What tires do people like best ???? Thanks.

[@josephlavigne1495]

Not a CD player what is this world coming to

[@dfs-sushe]

The most reliable car I owned was a 2000 Lexus RX350 all wheel drive

[@bluelake1621]

Bought my 2015 RX 450 h for 15k with 130k now has 230k ZERO PROBLEMS!

[@henny7769]

We have an exact one, 2013 ex-CPO now has 105k. Very well maintained, but I'm soooo bored with it, and been wanting to trade it in with something else :) Those who own cars for a long time, how do you deal w/ boredom :)

[@protoculture289]

These have an issue with an oil cooler hose that tends to rapture while driving and destroy the engine. They sell a metal replacement for it

[@Tigerwarhawk]

The 2grfe came with metal vvti lines by 2010.

[@luisacevedo8699]

I got a 2015 is350 and an 2015 rx 350. So far so good. No probs. Hopefully lasts 10 more years. I ha a 2007 is250 and rav4 before and they were good too. Love the reliability.

[@Baffi_]

Guess that’s why my uncle only buys Lexus cars. And my aunt just got one of these used in mint shape too.

[@lukekimmel9874]

Scotty, Looking at a 12 450h with 125k. Solid oil change / Maint history. Any thoughts on the CVT and hybrid? I'm a big DIY guy and knowing i'd be limited to makes me nervous. The fact that its a lexus makes me worry less. Trying to confirm if these Hybrid models only came in AWD for 12 hyrbid. I'm in Florida and have no need for that. Lol

[@lcameeno1]

Got a 2006 lexus is350 Trans went out in it after 2 months of having it Had a PPI at lexus and they couldn't find an issue with it before I got it Well I'm putting a new trans in it Ended up getting a 2011 lexus ISF And it's been great so far Also did a PPI on the ISF so we will see

[@jensz9360]

PPI are a joke. Its a way to get money from you. Do your own PPI, Scotty does a great job on his channel showing you what to look out for and how to check stuff. Dealerships are just trash all they care about is selling you a car, then getting you in the service bay as much as possible. They are NOT your friends.

[@TheDutchRabbitMafia]

hey Scotty I installed a scram jet engine on my 2003 smart cross blade will I get better gas mileage

[@FacelessGM]

hey actually buying a 2014 rx 350 with 70k miles, wanted to know how much doest it cost to change the engines mounts of the v6 engine? and the engine mounts of the gear box?

[@peterst-ski8153]

Ok everything looks good Except bad engine design .Chain cover gasket will almost certain leak on 2grfe which brings $4000 bill to pay .The engine must be removed to fix it .i am not sure about catastrophic oil cooler line which can brake at any time .VVTI is also not so good .guys be careful .not everything is perfect with Toyota product

[@grantjared9511]

Are there any years to avoid in an RX or ES?

[@Samisegunda]

I got a 2010 RX 350 but it just gives me 11 mpg max and minimum I saw it sometimes go all the way down to 6 even 5 mpg I don’t understand why the engine runs good and I keep the tires air pressure good I use 93 gas. Can you give me any advice however to get more mpg?
