One thing that has always irked me about my IS300 is that the front
grill (grey with Logo) and the below bumper mesh (black) don’t match.
Different patterns and different colors.
Ordered a new upper grill today and will paint it to match the lower
mesh. I expect the darker grill to give a more aggressive look. Any
comments????

Has anyone in the US tried selling an SC400 lately? Blue Book on mine is $21k
trade-in, $29k retail. I’m finding that dealers are only willing to go about
$16k on trade. Apparently there’s a glut of them in my area (Portland, OR) and
it’s driving the prices way down.

Does anybody have a cdrom for France for the Lexus IS200 Sat Nav
system that I could hire or borrow?
I have contacted the Lexus loans service but they do not have the disc
for the period I want it, 15th to 17th June, 2001.
My only other options are to buy the disc for 200UKP + VAT from the
Lexus dealership, or take a subscription at NavTech for 149UKP and
then purchase a discounted CD for another country for only 89UKP! No
thanks!
Can anyone recommend any air fresheners that nice enough for a Lexus?
Anyone out there had electrical system problems with early Lexus’? I had an
alternator replaced a few months ago, then the battery. Thought my dying
battery problem was fixed but one morning she was deader than a doornail.
The alternator was an after market from Schucks. Mechanic is telling me I
should put a Lexus alternator in. Any ideas, other than bad alternator,
what might be draining my battery?
Thanks,
Tom
Interested to know if 2002 model year RX300 will have side curtain airbags.
They were put into GS for 2001 without major body change. Any help?
I too am a new owner of a 98 LS400 with the infamous "integrated phone".
Anyone actually use these, and with what carrier, etc? I would think
someone who knows what they are doing could make an adapter that would let
me swap that Motorola Microtac with my Startac… Anyone know anyone who
does that?

Hello All,
I have a problem with my front windshield fogging. This is happening
in all weather conditions, warm, cool or hot. The only way I can get the
fogging to stop is to put on the air conditioner. Does anyone have an idea
as to what might be causing this? I have checked the coolant level and it is
not going down so I don’t believe it is the heater core leaking.
Any suggestions are appreciated!
Thanks
Greg
There’s a clipped Lexus ‘95 SC400 on sale for 12K, 10K below NADA book
value.
My dilemma is that I love this car and the dealer will not let
LemonBuster’s on their site. They recommend inspectors that they
know, but what good will that do me? They’ll only go with the opinion
of the dealer who gives them work.
The trade-off of 12K to 22K is major to me…not willing to sink 22K
into a depreciable asset that I will use once a month(I live in NYC).
Am i throwing 12K down the drain?
Are there any clipped cars on the road that are success stories?
All opinions very welcome, especially the mechanically inclined type.
Thanks.
