[@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.

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.

[@TheOriginalDwadefan]

Got a 2013 RX 350 with 64,000 miles on it 7months ago for around $18k, very solid and comfortable car, happy with the purchase. Just changed the oil and did a tire rotation at 69,200 miles

Bought a 96 LS400 with a little over 100k miles last summer for 7 grand. Car is mint. I tell ya, I’ve got more people looking over that car than anything I’ve owned. Stands out now amongst the cookie cutters. Been good so far, had to replace the fuel pump but that’s been it.

[@imcoolpramesh]

I got UX200 2021. I feel like a Royal on the road. Everything is great but I heard a creeking noise when I drive 100km over on my dash board, left door makes creeking noise when I play music, when I play youtube music and change my volume, it plays media player which is super annoying. Rare passenger air vents seems to have not working ( may be it detects seat ) I tried all everything still cant make it work. I will take it to dealership soon its only 10000km odometer. Still I am really happy with it.

[@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.

Great video, Scotty! Love Lexus and Toyota!

[@dannyjacob9617]

Just bought a 2002 Lexus rx300. Absolute dream of a car. 1 owner who took real good care of the car taking it to the dealership. He even properly moisturized the rubber seals as needed so everything is as new, even at 109000 miles. It has a good stock Lexus sound system with no tricky or weird screens or controls. Love the look more than the new Rx350 models, and the 3.0 Litre 6 cylinder gives healthy and smooth power averaging 18 mpg city & highway. Honestly I’m very glad I got it. Needed it for school and work as a 21 year old. Lexus makes some wonderful cars if the owners do the regularly scheduled maintenance.

[@doncosner2611]

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.

[@EnlightenedRogue]

Bought my 2010 ES 350 in 2019 with only 62K miles on it for $12.5K (probably would've cost $18K once the pandemic hit).Three years later & unsurpisingly, it's still flawless!!

[@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..

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

[@josepharmato8032]

Lexus RX 350 for 2023 will be available only with a turbocharged four cylinder engine. I WAS considering one.

[@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?

[@dang75790]

Cd player is the way to go! No android garbage please. Lol. I'll stick with my 06 4 runner.

[@normaroofner]

Should I buy a used 350 rx or a used 350h.

The backup camera looks like the brightness level is way down. Could be adjusted.

[@MikeSparksMusic]

It doesn’t actually look that dark in person but I will check the settings.

[@houstoncowdog]

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.

[@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.

[@joshuataylor3515]

Hey Scotty I’ve got a 2000 Toyota RAV 4 AWD, and I have issues getting windshield washer fluid to go to the rear windshield. I realize that the washer fluid is leaking heavily at the bottom right of the rear of the vehicle. What do you believe I should do?

[@chuckhoyle1211]

If you can find the fluid tube you can fix it with duct tape. If you can't because it is too heavily damaged, you can splice in a section of new tubing to replace the damaged section. It is not hard so long as you can locate the tubing. Look online for a diagram or video.

[@kingnole7540]

Scotty what about a used RX 450h?

[@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

[@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.

[@bildungsroman2012]

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

[@gerharddeale6506]

To all lexus owners,, please upgrade all the rubber pipes to metal ones,, the v6 can handle low oil pressure,, when that old rubber pipes go the engine go

[@fludeball]

That’s the lightest I’ve ever seen Scotty’s glasses.

[@dyrectory_com]

I upgraded from a Yaris 4 door hatchback 2008 to Prius C 2012. I've never bought a new car. 💡

[@ytr8989]

The Prius C is smaller than the Yaris 4 door hatchback. But it has the bulletproof 1.5L engine that dates back Generation 1 and way back to the Echo.

[@Nightwish1773]

I'm sorry to hear that!

[@Triangle27.]

Prius c is a great car

[@dyrectory_com]

I did like my Yaris a lot. 🚙

[@robertaross3931]

What about the convertible Lexus?

[@wallstreetgambler9151]

my 2011 Gs 350 was made in Japan. my friend are all bimer folks a little fast but I don't see my delarship.

[@hovanthecool1995]

Hi Scotty! I have an '07 LS 460 with 144k miles. Runs really well. But only like 11 or so mpg yikes. Minor cosmetic issues but great. 👋

[@brandonstclair6530]

Consider yourself lucky, I bought a LS460 used with 125K miles. I was the 5th owner. Man was that car was a POS, it had many cooling system problems in the 1 year I owned it. Also, the dash and door panels were sticky and soft. It had a clunk when backing over bumps. The engine has been hot so many times, I traded it in before anything more major happened to it.

[@billnotpay]

Why you won't sell it for $17,000 and buy a 100 series land cruiser

[@hovanthecool1995]

@@billnotpay I am selling mine for 11k. I actually want a Prius believe it or not lol.

[@davido3746]

@@brandonstclair6530 aha! I’ve got a 15 IS250, bought it in 19 w/27k on it. Sometimes tempted to go to the flagship, a 460 or preferably a 430 if I find the right one. BUT sometimes I copy and paste an LS vin into my “Lexus Garage” which shows Lexus dealer repair histories. Wow. Some of those LS repairs. Too much $$$. Found a super nice 430, original owner, super nice; exceptional! Put it in my “garage”. He had just had it in saying the air suspension wasn’t working right. Dealer checked it, couldn’t replicate it, said it’s fine. Nooooo way. The LS is simply very expensive to repair, and that always takes me back to what I’m driving, which is pretty amazing, actually.
