Try the Verizon Online Smart Pages using "Lexus Service & Repair", but they don't make themselves easily findable. Try your local Chamber of Commerce web site and e-mail them where you can find one. Of course, you could always give away on chat rooms the town that you live in and maybe someone already knows of a good one there. Good Luck. Read More...

i def appreciate the advise guys, and I am going to have a fit about all these dumb tests they keep doing and is costing me over $1000, to be honest the car was given to me for free so I can complain about that, but I just had no idea what I was getting myself into, is there anywhere I can find these little independant shops? Everywhere I tried to take the car was like, oh Lexus ... Read More...

I agree with "wwest": "I think you're being "jacked" around on the emissions." But, I wanted to add that your local "shop" does not represent all Independent Lexus Service & Repair shops. Many do have all the equipment needed to figure out why your car is failing the emissions test. These reputable independents owned and/or operated by former "Lexus Certified ... Read More...

Insofar as rate of acceleration the early LSes at 248HP were not stellar performers. Put on a lot of miles, say 150,000, and the torque converter is getting a little tired. I think you're being "jacked" around on the emissions fix but I don't have any answer otherwise. Read More...

Lexus LS: Problems & Solutions

Re: LS 400 Starter / ignition problem [paul29]

Written by: firsttimer5 on Dec 17, 2005 02:36 PM

Dear Paul29, You & the other forum members who replied to my problem were a lot of help & inspiration. I thank you all. What I think I should do - since everything is pointing to the starter itself - is take the car to my mechanic and have him access the starter to find out if the contacts are dirty. If they are, I'll ask him to clean them & put everything back together and ... Read More...

Opportunity to buy a 1993 SC 400

Written by: edinphila on Jan 03, 2004 10:09 AM

Not sure where to turn, but I need help. I am the proud owner of a 93 LS 400 with 106,000 miles and runs like a champ. Now we need a second car. A Toyota dealer has a 1993 SC 400 with only 25,000 miles on it. They want $15,000. I went by to look at it. It was in good shape in and out. A few scratches, etc. This car sat for years, I think. The last time it had seen a dealer for service ... Read More...

The current LS is not fairly new. It was unveiled in January 2000 at the Detroit Auto Show and went on sale in the fall of 2000 as a 2001. It is now entering its fourth year. Lexus does not have long model cycles. Typically their cars run for five years, with a cosmetic freshening in the fourth year. So, what Lexus is doing follows their history. Compare this to Mercedes ... Read More...
