My father bought the Lexus at Kearney Mesa Lexus in 2006. He could have bought any car he wanted. He chose the Lexus for low operating costs, luxury ride, and for him, inexpensive tires compared to the European brands. This car lived in a climate controlled garage and because it was at the winter home, it never was driven much. I told him that if he was ever going to sell it, please give me first shot. A few years ago, his health started to decline. He wanted to give it to my daughter for her first car. My brother being such a good brother, drove it from San Diego to northern Utah to deliver it to me. Before he left for the trip, I had him get the oil changed, new battery, and 4 new tires(The original tires were done after 16k miles. Needless to say, I have decided to use the Lexus as my daily and will buy my daughter a newer crossover since that is what she really wants. Now for the good stuff. The timing belt was changed a few years ago. The seats are very comfortable for my 6ft2 200lb frame. The engine is near silent and vibration free. The 5 speed transmission shifts are buttery smooth. Gas mileage is low 20s in the city and close to 30 on the highway. The interior materials put new luxury cars to shame. I plan on keep this gem forever as it has a lot of sentimental value and its a fantastic car. I have pretty much stopped using my 22 Honda Ridgeline BE except for hauling items that won't fit in the Lexus. At any rate, even in 2024 I would highly recommend this Lexus. Despite the age of the vehicle, it really has everything that I need. I mean the cupholders are silly small but a small gatorade bottle fits well. The tape deck and in dash cd player still work. I bought a bluetooth adapter that reads off the the radio and it works fine for my needs. I may install an Apple Car play unit as they are cheap and easy to install. I am also going to get a set of 16" wheels with Blizzak WS90 winter tires. With the heavy v-6 over the front wheels, this vehicle will be fine for 90% of my winter needs. My skis fit fine in the rear seat pass through.

I have had the tires balanced 5 times & the dealer changed all tires on car. It still vibrates at highway speeds. Lots of wind noise from over drivers door. Doesnt shift smoothly in stop & go traffic. Armrests are too hard for a luxury car. Can't find garage door button in dark - no illumination. Front end was out of line when purchased but it is ok now. This vehicle has been very disappointing & I have never felt as though I am driving a new car. I think Lexus is very, very overrated.

Bought the 2006 black diamond edition with all options. Car is quietest, smoothest riding vehicle I have owned. Fuel economy seems to be ok- 23/24 city so far. Interior is first rate and radio sounds like you are in a concert hall. No evidence of trans problem others have had.
Very reliable car with minimum maintenance.
