Carcarenut had a video about the new engines. Lexus stopped the rollout right after manufacture begin for “quality control” for the 550’s in jan/feb 2024. Carcarenut pointed out parts were discontinued in their catalogue and updated with the new part #’s. The discontinued parts were the same...
Dropped off GX today for 15k service and ran into my salesman. He told me the tariffs will trickle down to MSRP, confirmed by Lexus corporate, how much, he said, is currently unknown. So glad I got my 2024.
I’m in insurance, and you’re covered as long as you have collision coverage. You collide with something, you’ll pay your deductible, they’ll pay for the fix, then surcharge your policy unless you have accident forgiveness.
Replacing old used parts with better new parts for free with no labor cost is prissy, lol?
Seems smart to me.
The prissy bunch seems to be the easily offended people who have hurt feelings about suggestions to have the “quirks” fixed for free.
You can’t take an hour out of your day to drop...
This is an already known documented problem with countless other threads. Someone advising to go get brand new parts for free with free labor and a loaner is not being a keyboard hero, its advising a person who may not know what is available. You seem offended by my response to the OP to offer...
That seems like a lot of work and possibly dangerous driving to maybe fix your brakes.
I know there are long wait times for parts for some, but I much prefer taking my car to Lexus, getting one of their loaners, and they swap out all the old stuff for brand new parts for free. Got mine...
They are so similar in a lot of aspects (including price), but I can’t see how someone would prefer the LC250 over the 550. There are 3 major differences that are important to me:
1.) powertrains: the 6mpg more the LC250 gets to sacrifice power is too marginal to go with a hybrid, to me. If...
This same youtuber put out ridiculous fear content about the 550 before he started selling the value of it.
I also find him to be quite annoying.
Go back and watch his videos. He’s wrong about a lot of $hit.
That’s the clickbait of youtube though. Be opinionated, tick people off to...

what a jackass to try and be funny after hitting someone else’s car.
Yes, even if it is restored to exact pre-wreck condition, there is a diminished value to it if traded in. As Bluegill noted, when an insurance claim is filed, it will show on Carfax reports. Trade in value will...
Interesting you are wary of moving from a mercedes to anything and being concerned about problems. Mercedes are not known for longevity. Also, besides luxury and both being suv’s the two are designed for different things
If you were to compare quality and finish between a ml500 and a gx550, i...
This is such an easy issue to replicate, as it is not intermittent on mine and i suspect not on others. Very simple test… wait until car heats up and blowing hot air, then wait till cabin gets hot, then turn dial to anything in 60 temp range, and they will see the air blowing from vents remains...
Switching climate concierge on or off has no effect. Don’t see any other options that would control temperature automatically, so not sure how much operator error there is
