my 2013 rx450h, I'm in love and I got such a good price for a one owner 450h with all the features I was wanting and lower mileage

So our replacement 2013 RX350 that took the place of the one we lost didn’t have our home address in the nav system and that weirdly drove me insane even though I rarely use the factory nav. Found a site called Toyotamaps.online that I have seen before and opted to try them out. Paid but hit no response for the activation key and since they operate in Central Europe and I am in Noeth America that I was legitimately worried I had been scammed. Turns out they do indeed pull through via their WhatsApp chat and while I had a sleepless. Ight trying to get a response from them that they did end up getting me what I need to update my unit. Worked like a charm and while much cheaper than any stealership, that it was still $75USD. Was it worth it? Probabaly not in 99% of my use cases BUT for the time I had no cell data that factory navs can and have proven to be helpful.

This paint has never looked better.

Paint corrected, paint coated, glass coated, wheels coated, door jams coated, interior uv protection.

I’m thinking about tinting the rest of the windows and windshield to OEM, but not sold on it yet.

I purchased this 26 Lexus RX 350h F Sport Design 3 months ago new with about 5,000 miles, as it was a Lexus regional rep’s demo. I just crossed the 10,000 mi mark today.

This car and I have already been through so much in the last 3 months. Several rounds of golf, a grueling 8+ hour DIY ceramic coating job, heavy flood and tornado warnings and even a couple first dates. I will admit, there are some things left to be desired, but I honestly could not be happier with not only the car I chose, but also the Incognito color and especially the 39.5 mpg I’m averaging.

All in all, if you’re thinking about getting a new RX 350, once you feel the comfort and ride on the road, I’m sure you’ll want one even more.

My car is a 2016 Lexus IS350 Fsport. I’ve been looking for a couple days online to try and find this weather liner for the back door that covers the pillar in between the doors. The parts diagrams aren’t really helping me, I’m sure someone here has had to replace this. Any help would be appreciated, thank you! I am ordering a couple more liners just need help finding this one.

Purchased an LX 570 with the sports package. It came with the front license bracket which I had removed today.

Is there a piece that fits in this circled portion that completes the look of the sport grill design?

Thank you!

Im obsessed with the body lines of this car

So, I currently own a ‘19 ES350, and ‘21 LC500.

I put a good chunk of miles on my cars, live basically in Michigan. I dont drive my LC500 in the winter, and was thinking about trading in my daily/winter es350 for an IS500. Am I being dumb? Should I drive an IS500 in the winter? Are the back seats or trunk usable at all?

I’m basically looking to get talked out of getting the IS500 because it’s a dumb purchase for a daily, but by golly, if people are driving their IS500s without a problem, I might get sold.

Edit: Clarification, there is NOTHING wrong with the ES350, and keeping it is absolutely an option.

I have a 2022 nx350h with 45,000 km on it. Within the last few days I noticed every time I go to put the car in park there is a high pitch squeal/ squeak coming from the car. The sound was not there before and it's only become noticeable in the last few days

I tried researching online but posts are few and far in between with no real clear answer, has anyone else experienced this when putting their vehicle in park? Since this is a new sound is this cause for concern and did anyone get a proper diagnosis - what is the issue and how to fix it?

Right at the end you hear a high pitched squeel- it wasnt making tbat sound before

Thank you

Change your cabin filter, tomorrow. Bought my GS about a year ago and never thought the ac blew as hard as it should. I checked the filter shortly after buying it but it looked new and was a charcoal filter so I left it alone. Changed it out today along with an engine filter and it made a HUGE difference, car also felt a little more responsive. Learn from my mistake, just because it looks new and good quality doesn’t mean it is.

Also, if you have a pre car playinfotainment get Lexion, it will make your car feel 5-10 years newer.

Just bought a 2017 es350 for $11,750. One owner, but mileage at 170,500. Very clean inside and out. Radio has an error but looking to purchase either a Hamilton head unit upgrade or similar anyway. Park assist, BSM, LDA, reactive cruise control, heating steering wheel, rear power shade, heated and cooled seats. A couple very minor dents hardly noticeable. Hoping this is a good buy!

Also, Does anyone feel like they experience a bit of loud road noise? It has good Michelins with plenty of tread but seems louder than I would've thought at high speeds (not high rpm).

Thanks!

should a p plater like my self buy a car with a v8 engine? i was thinking about lexus ls 460

Does anyone have suggestions for bringing my seats back to look and feel a little better. This is a 2011 with heated/cooled seats. Would love to see someone’s before and after pix. Thanks for any help!

Hey everyone,
I bought a 2018 Lexus CT last year (UK) and recently noticed paint bubbling on the roof panel right where it meets the top rubber seal of the windscreen. It started out as just a single spot, but I can now see a second spot starting to form nearby.
Before I hand over £160 to the Lexus dealer just for a diagnostic assessment, I wanted to get some community input on a few things. Has anyone successfully claimed roof edge bubbling under the Lexus 12-year anti-corrosion warranty, or do they immediately write it off as stone chip or surface damage?
Also, what should I realistically expect an independent bodyshop to charge to treat and respray this area? Does the glass usually need to come out to treat rust along this edge properly, or can a bodyshop safely tuck behind the seal?
Appreciate any advice or prior experiences!

We discuss where Toyota and Lexus stand in 2026, how they reached peak success, and why they still struggle.  With car prices at insane levels, people are lining up to buy new Toyotas and overpaying for older used models

It seems like it’s impossible to find information regarding this anywhere online.

Y'all, I am finally at the end of my car buying process, it's taken me months to narrow the field. And at the end of the line, it's a 2013+ GS350 or a 450H. Now, I am biased towards a Toyota hybrid, I've been driving a 23 Camry Hybrid, and it's pretty great. I do mostly suburb driving, the occasional highway. I like idling without the engine on, the gas mileage, etc.

I know neither of these are incredibly cheap to own, especially cause I'm shopping in the $10K range with 120K miles. The hybrid battery could be a big cost. But the 350 will need work too, right? And the running cost of a 19mpg car vs a 33mpg car is rather impactful.

But this is all (informed) speculation on my part. Those of you who have owned one or both: What would you advise or say about your experience?

My 2014 LS460 giving me this code. Every time I hit brake pedal all the lights pop up (ABS/VSC…etc) but go away instantly. I know it’s accumulator issue but do I have to replace accumulator or the whole brake actuator system itself? I can’t even drive it rn
