Discussion Lexus parking

• Upvotes

I find it hilarious that Lexus owners will always park next to each other! Every time I’ve gone out in my 2004 RX330 another Lexus, especially the RX350’s will always, and I mean always find a way to park next to, in front of, or behind my car.

Today I had a Lexus next to me, one in front of me, and one behind me, just gotta say I absolutely love it

I’ve owned my 2015 Lexus rc 350 f sport for 2 years and put 40k miles on it, never had a check engine light. Got one today and my former German ownership ptsd hit me like oh no, it’s gonna be really bad and expensive. Got a code scan and it just needs a new fuel cap lol. Lexus quality is awesome.

What should I look for in terms of checking the vehicle out? Any major concerns with this model year or it being 20 years old?

I spotted these two side by side on Sunday morning and couldn't ignore how similar they look. I never thought I would see the day when a Lexus reminds me of a KIA but here we are.

Vehicle Photo Joined the Lexus Family: 2025 ES 350 Ultra Luxury

Post image
187 Upvotes

After countless hours of research and bidding farewell to my 2008 3 Series, I upgraded to a 2025 ES 350 Ultra Luxury with under 6200 miles a couple weeks ago.

Almost landed a Caviar/Black former loaner with 9k miles, but the dealer refused to repair some damage I spotted. This one-owner Moonbeam Beige/Palomino popped up the same day that deal fell through, and I greatly prefer this color combo and ownership history, so I had to pounce.

Started my search with SUVs but quickly realized I'm a sedan guy through and through. Other contenders were the Genesis G80, BMW 540, and IS 350. Was dead set on a new car at the outset because it's my first car purchase, but this car has literally everything I wanted except CPO status and AWD (I work from home, so I doubt I'll even need to go the snow tire route and will just drive carefully when necessary lol). The bang for your buck was a no-brainer for me relative to the competition.

Feels like I caught one of the last V6 choppers out of 'Nam while managing to avoid rationalizing the 2026 ES abomination. Fired up to join the Lexus club!

Question Radio issues

1 Upvotes

I have a 2016 Lexus IS 200T F sport. So for a year and a half my radio has been turning on and off. In the beginning. it would stay on for the most part and in the past year it has stayed completely off, but my backup camera still works but my screen for my maps and my music and Bluetooth does not pop up at all. On my dashboard icons, the music icon still shows, but it is just empty. Everytime my radio reboots it says software update and it’ll stay on for about 5 minutes at most and turn off again. Anyone know how I can fix this?

Question Considering 2025 UX 300 as company car.

1 Upvotes

Based in UK:

As the title says, I'm being offered a 2025 UX 300 as a company car and I don't know much about it.

It would also be my first electric car and effectively a 2nd car for us not doing too many long trips.

What's the general impression of the car? Reliable? Good range? Etc etc

Discussion 2017 GS350 Lux Package

39 Upvotes

Hey guy I’m excited to join the club! I bought this awesome machine! It’s my first Lexus and I’m loving it.

I bought it for $20k with 109k miles. With a known bushing problem that needs to be replaced. I took it assuming it was easy enough of a fix… (dealer would’ve added $500 more if they were the ones fixing it, I opted out)

BUT…

I am really disheartened with what I learned after taking it to the shop for few concerns 😢

Can I please get some opinions or advice or whatever.
Like I said I took it to the shop for few concerns, after leaving the dealer and buying it AS-IS, I noticed some shakiness/wobbles on the drive and some rattling noise in the engine bay.

The shop reported that there were bulging on the inner side panel of 3 of the tires and I got a hefty $2800 quote 😢😢 now I need 4 new tires, realignment, and tie rods.

The auto shop also noted that there is a micro oil leak in the engine and it could potentially be a $4000 fix. I can share more if you guys are interested.

I just wanted to share that cause I feel really really bad. I did not do a PPI cause the Chevrolet dealer had good reviews and provided all the documentation, even a picture of the undercarriage. The test drive was as smooth as it can be so I did not even notice any potential issues.

Question Driver Monitor Assist - ”Driver Monitor unavailable see owners manual” how to get rid of this?

1 Upvotes

Posting again because this dumb potential issue is stopping me from buying a lexus.

Hey all,

I’ve been looking at buying a new Lexus. However there’s been one problem/feature that many people seem to struggle with that seems really annoying when it comes to newer lexus cars. I read that one person even had to sell their car because of how annoying it was.

And that is driver monitor assist camera on top of the steering wheel that tracks to see if you’re paying attention to the road or not. I know you can disable it. But even when you turn it off, you apparently get an alert every 5 seconds saying that "driver monitor assist is unavailable, see the owner's manual".

How do people disable this fully? Do you guys just deal with it? Is this what stops me from buying myself a lexus? I’m hoping some people have good solutions since I really like the car otherwise and I don’t want to look into other brands.

I live in Sweden if that’s relevant at all.

Question Rc200t as first car

1 Upvotes

I am considering getting a rc200t as my first proper car. I’m currently in a 92kw (approx 130hp) 1.4tfsi Audi a3. I see a lot of people saying the 4 banger is a bit gutless, but because of Australian laws I can’t drive the v6. Would it be worth getting a 200t considering that? Of would getting a euro with a turbo 4 be better? The looks of the rc is what really attracts me, but the apparent lack of power is something I need to consider, even with the beautiful looks and interior.

Question New to Lexus - what car to get?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m new to the Lexus ecosystem and trying to decide which pre-owned vehicle to purchase. I’m currently considering the GX 460, RX 350, and RX 450h, with a budget of $25-31k. I’d love to hear what you’d recommend!

For context, it’s just me and my boyfriend, and we’re in our late twenties living in San Francisco. Neither of us commutes by car, so we’d primarily use it for errands around the city, weekend trips, and camping. We don’t plan to do any off-roading.

We love a beautiful car, but we’re not car people, so reliability, practicality, and reasonable maintenance costs are important to us. We’d also love something that’s fun (why I’m GX curious) and feels special to own!

Question Lexus service/repair prices vs toyota

3 Upvotes

We’ve own toyota and have been looking into getting a Lexus NX350h.

For those that have owned both Toyotas and Lexus vehicles, have you noticed a premium price when doing routine services/repair on the Lexus or are they comparable to Toyota?

If I get the hybrid, is the hybrid system repair pricey?

Question 2022 RX350 audio issues

2 Upvotes

Hey guy, I’ve got a 2022 RX350 with ML. When i turn on any audio source the text info flickers(generic text like track 1 for CDs) and no audio comes out. Both the steering wheel volume and dash volume knob are unresponsive. But you can still turn it on and off with the knob.

I’ve tried both soft reset and disconnecting the battery. Any ideas?

Question Door bump guards

4 Upvotes

Most new vehicles do not come standard with door side bump moldings any longer. I'm sure its an esthetic issue, however I'm still getting door dings from careless drivers in parking lots. For $300 Cdn, my local dealer will install side moldings. I'm of two minds here. I want my car to be ding free and I want a stream lined look (no molding). What thoughts do you have on the issue? I'm leaning towards molding as i keep my cars over 10 years. RX350 2022. Thanks

I’m considering a bit older RX hybrid.

How concerned should I be about the battery life? I’m looking at ones with 30-50k miles. I may consider an older GX..
