Loving the Vlogs Orlando!

Video starts at 3:44 btw

Those 3 dislikes are not really stopping me from considering this car.

Just took a 10 minute nap.

Thanks for the info. Will be picking mine up in about 10 days.

Much cheaper than a Benz, trust me

Orlando, your dealership is ripping you off. You should review your warranty and maintenance guide that came with your car. The 15k service for your RC 350 F Sport according to Lexus is only the following: ❑ Inspect and adjust all fluid levels ❑ Replace Smart Key battery ❑ Reset maintenance reminder light ❑ Visually inspect brake pads, calipers and rotors ❑ Check installation of driver’s floor mat ❑ Road-test vehicle ❑ Inspect the following No real work here, and should only be charged 1hr labor. Obviously I would do this myself and save the $150. Engine air filter doesn't need to be changed until 30k. If I were you I would only take it in for the oil changes every 10k. Save yourself some money (a lot of money in your case) and skip the unnecessary 5k interval.

You don't have to slide up the touch sensitive temperature gauges. You can tap it to raise it or lower it. You can also get an oil change from any good reputable service station for a little cheaper, and as for the tires you can get some Kumhos for cheaper and also balance for cheaper.

Just leased a 2019. Looking forward to the same 1st world problems. :)

Well Lexus IS REALLY RELIABLE i can’t stress it enough my dad had his GS 300 for over 20 years and have 275,000 miles on it and it had no problems just common stuff like we ran out of gas or we got hit just minor scratches or just services but other then that it’s really reliable everyone im getting this for my graduation gift :)

I just test drove a RC 350 F Sport. The car is awesome. The handling and road feel is fantastic. When you are looking at the options for a sporty coupe that is AWD you get very limited options. This little coupe is incredibly cheap to maintain when you think about how intelligent the car is. I'd have no problem paying a $1,000 a year to maintain this thing. It has a very reliable engine and transmission. and for the most part these Lexus cars go 20 years before you start having to sink real money into them.

The tire cost quote you gave, was that for two tires or each? Second if you buy a plan when buying the car, would it be financing it with interest on that? The temperature control is so stupid because trying to adjust the temperature driving on the road looks distracting. I personally like the look of this car and I love the black ones.

awesome video, thankyou

no one buys a lexus to take it to the dealership for servicing. That's only german cars. the beauty of lexus is that its easily serviceable like a toyota. All these maintenance could be done either by yourself or elsewhere for cheaper. Just have to be smart about it and cant rely on the dealership to take care of your own car.

Few things: - why does your RC350 have the RC200t headlight cluster? - I have never had the temp change issues you had, but I agree a button is better - where did you get the boot spoiler?

Hi, Orlando. What exactly did they do at that service visit to cost that much? I know you clarified and said they just balanced the tires, so I was curious. Thanks!

great video

The reason why i bought my lexus is because its reliable and the cheapest to maintain out of all the luxury brands. How? You can do maintance at a toyota. Ive been doing it for years with no problem. They did the same maintanance that you did on this video and rather it costing $300, it was only $115. Typical oil change is roughly $60. It use to cost $60 for a 3 time bundle. Dont believe me? Google it.

If you were to change the oil yourself and buy full synthetic oil and filter, it would cost about $17. 10 quarts of oil is about $12(after mail and rebate) and $5 for the oil filter. Lexus isn’t a BMW or Audi, they are reliable and cheap to maintain. It’s still a Toyota with a luxury brand name and I honestly wouldn’t buy any other cars due to the brand’s low cost in maintenance.

you gotta stop staring into my soul when you look at the camera, gotta be more relaxed

You don’t have to wait for the beep in order to change the temperature. Just swipe or you can even use your hands free to change the temperature. Just FYI I’m sure you have figured those out by now.

My RCF temperature strips work first time every time. I'd say bring that up with your service advisor

The temperature thing is really easy to use actually, u just have to get used to it

Hey Orlando, for the temperature control, you don't need to slide your fingers on the controls! If you want to change the temperature, just tap on the arrows!

If your worried about what the maintenance cost is on a Lexus maybe you shouldn't buy one and get a Hyundai

Amazing car. The hardtop convertible(LFc2) needs to hurry up and come out!!!

Dealership usually charge people a lot more than necessary on the labor cost. I need to replace my full radiator unit on my 2011 Infiniti and dealer quote me $1,500 for oem parts and labor, plus tax. Then I visited my usual private garage (the place where i have my brake services done; and for some other family cars too). The owner quoted me $750 + tax for the same oem parts and work. So I figured that dealership maintenance cost is just a rip-off, I go to them mostly because of oil change that comes with car wash. Other major maintenance I am just gonna give it to my private auto shop in the neighborhood.

You don’t have to touch it from the bottom. If you want it hotter just touch the top and hold until you get the desired temperature

Ey talking about the tires. I was wondering are you saying it cost 3 to 4 hundred each tires? Or for all four tires?

Is maintenance expensive on this car besides takin it to a dealer really lookin forward to getting this car any advice anyone?

you do realize that you dont have to start at the bottom of the temperature touch pad, right? I've never had this issue but I also start at the middle of the touch sensor.

Here are my dislikes: 1) - The pockets on the door panels aren’t wide enough to get my hand in. They are too narrow and nearly useless. 2) As gorgeous as the interior is, there is nowhere to put anything aside from the glove compartment or center console. You can place things on the screen, but then it blocks your navigation or whatever your screen is set to display. You can use the cup holders but I commute with my travel mug, and believe it or not, the other cup holder is for my “ash tray” cup. Yes, I smoke in my car but you’d never know it. I shut the climate control, open all windows, and the roof as well. 3) Everything on the dash and console is lit up beautifully at night, but the buttons on the steering wheel are way too dim by comparison. I thought it was a problem, I brought it to the dealership who said that’s how it is, and nobody ever complained before. I am not convinced though, it’s such a drastic difference you’d think quality control or someone on the design team would have realized. Anyone else see the brightness difference on the steering wheel buttons? Same with the seat settings on the drivers door panel. They light up, but barely. None of these are showstoppers for me, I’d buy this car over in a heartbeat. If those are my only problems, I’ll take it and be grateful. It’s such an awesome looking, performing, and luxurious experience. The seats are amazingly comfortable. It drives more like a luxury car than a sports car. The comfort level is fantastic. The AWD handles the snow too, in fact, I can’t wait for it to snow.

The guest lounge looks like for old ppl

Beautiful car!👌

Pro tip: take your Lexus to the Toyota side service department and get the same work done for cheaper. Been doing it for all our Lexus vehicles after the complimentary period. At first they say Lexus is on the other side, just be polite and say I’ll service it here. Get the Toyota pricing and same service that you would get. This also includes wipers, brakes, fluids, tire rotation, air filters and anything else.

The non matching tires ( and expensive brakes) are a problem with most sports cars.

Why even take it to a Lexus dealer?? Of course they are going to charge crazy prices. My local mechanic charges $40 for oil changes on most cars and maybe $65 for a higher end car that requires a certain type of oil. Plus he covers all the inspection stuff for free. Find yourself a good mechanic like that or learn to do it yourself. Don't let the dealership rip you off. If you still have this car that is lol. Hello from 2021

a services at the dealer is a rip-off because it cost an arm or leg. i have 2011 pilot and service at the dealer until 120k mile because i fall into there trap of warranty. I learn my lesson and never going to bring a car to be serviced at the dealer. i'll ask my best friends (google and youtube) on how-to service my car.

318$ to balance tires change filters and wipers?? You could have done all that yourself for less than $100 ( taking it to a local tire shop for balancing )

Need to have a streetable wheel and tire , low profile tires don’t hold op to potholes.

Lexus dealerships love you! I bet they charged you for the blinker fluid as well...

Don’t believe the maintenance the dealership tells you to do, go based on the owners guide it tells you exactly what should be done on X amount of miles. Dealerships will try so sell u unnecessary shit just to rip u off

How long do the tires last?

a) You can just tap your finger on the a/c temp button. You tap on the higher side temp moves up. You tap on the lower side temp moves down. Easy. b) Are you just cheap? If you want quality tires you pay for them. They are all that separate you from the road. c) If you think that maintenance is expensive try another brand like Mercedes.

Love this Lexus especially in this colour.

I feel regret getting my IS350 for 50k.I should have bought 2018 V6 Camry XSE under 40k..my lexus didnt came with lane departure..the camry came with lane departure, bird eyes view..the maintenance pretty expensive..

very owsome kuya orly.

Just be lucky you're not driving a German M car. The diff, DCT, and engine oil change cost me about 1000 dollars and that's at an independent. From the dealer it may have been twice that.

My pet peeve is when the mechanic rotates the tires, changes the oil, then drives the car to the reception area with his greasy hands.

I think the pros outweigh the cons on this deal, You'll pay those prices on a Honda...😎

Anyone know the song at 2:07 onward? It's beautiful!

What year is yours

You know if you keep clicking in the arrow up it will raise it up and work 100% of the time in temperature same with the low arrow. I own a Lexus so there you go lol

My dream car!!! It just looks so sexy!

I have one. i wish for more aggressive gearing

But Lexus is not a tire shop. I get my tires someplace that specifically sells tires. Made the same mistake you did though.

Is this the Roseville Lexus??

Lexus all it needs is oil changes. Changing transmission fluid every 30-60k. Take it to Toyota they will do it cheaper than Lexus lol. Tires and brakes.. coolant flush at 100k miles. If you want to keep your car do NOT replace the oil change every 10k miles!!!!!! You will have worn piston rings pass the 100k miles. Change every 4-5k and it will last forever.

you can change oil in shop

30k miles car change oil filter and oil every 10k, break fluid, a quarter of transmission fluid (not flush), break fluid and possibly power steering fluid. that's all u need for 30k miles. if you dont know what you are doing ofc you'll get ripped of at any dealership. the service you got probably u have to pay $100 outside. Considering lexus is a luxury car, your service is still cheap. mbenz service A $275, Service B almost $500 now.

The 3 things I hate about my 2016 RC 300: 1. It's not a LC 500 2. Its underpowered 3. The maintenance cost

Impressive didn’t know anyone would care about such cheap maintenance cost when purchasing a mid tier luxury car

DON'T get ripped off by these dealer service intervals, you are lining their pockets with your cash!!! check oil every 3000 miles and change every 10,000miles with synthetic ( and thats very conservative) in your driveway for $35 (very easy to DIY, watch some videos. Drain into pan, remove filter, replace filte,r refill engine with oil, check for leaks, DONE!!!) until 50-60,000 mile mark for front brakes and inspect tire wear/replace if needed. Toyotas/lexus' don't require any more than that. KEEP YOUR CASH!!!

30.000 mile service can be up to $1500

YES IT'S EXPENSIVE BUT IT'S ALSO A SPORTS COUPE. . . WORTH EVERY PENNY

The video starts at 4:04

Why would you ever service your Lexus at a dealer for anything EXCEPT an oil change... It's literally a rip off in every other way... Just read your manual and check the fluids on your own and a balance at discount tire runs like 20$

Dream car

How they balance the tire

Buy michelin and buy oil from Walmart .. just put tiresfirst time on my daughters rx350 the fac tires sucked .. I didn’t buy the plan or wheel protection guy got mad

don't go to the dealer for tires or oil changes. Lexus rips you off at the service center. I have a Lexus but I know a mechanic that has done all the work to my car and he gives me good prices.

Nobody does the lexus service, just go to a local mechanic😂

Thank you for the dose of reality. Good stuff to k now.

In all honesty I don’t mind having to push a button.

I only paid 50 for my 15000 miles

If your going to be like a sport ,your going to pay like a sport

HAHA, you cant rotate the tires on the RC350 Fsport, they are staggered fitment.

If you hate it so much why did you buy it ?...

Start watching from 4:10

The reason why its expensive because you wanna do all of your services at the dealer❌🧢

I would have done all those things my self and save 90%

You should put vlog in your title so so many of us don't come on here and give you a thumbs down cause we ain't here to see some guys vlog

why is everybody disliking??

your swiping too slow and heavy handed on the ac panels swipe it like an iphone bro

I just think you don’t know how to shop around. You probably going to the dealership to get Maintenance. Also if this is an issue you should have gotten a Kia.

Here's what I hate about my 2017 Lexus RC350 F Sport AWD. 1) The entire center stack. The design isn't very nice. Mazda and Kia have nicer center stacks. Look at the buttons for "Media" in this video; they're just plastic nubs. It's terrible. 2) The track pad! WHY?! That thing is an abomination. It's slow to respond, inconsistent, and hard to predict where your cursor will go since it snaps to buttons. You'd think that would help, but it doesn't since you still have to look at the screen to know what's selected. 3) The infotainment system UI. This is related to the track pad, but look at how many things show up in multiple places for no reason. Climate information display, for example, shows up on the nav screen when you make a change. Why? There's a dedicated display to show that all the time! Why repeat it? Better yet, why have the cheap car looking display at all. Just put that information in the nav screen. 4) The back seat has no cup holders at all and yet the RC F (I had one for four days) has TWO cup holders in the back seat. Again, WHY?! No one wants to sit in the back of an RC F and even if they do, you sure don't want them drinking anything! Those cup holders should be in the RC350. 5) No touch screen or Android Auto. Look Lexus, you make really nice cars but why are you reinventing the wheel? Let Google and Apple integrate with your cars and stop wasting money on your track pad and infotainment! Especially the voice command thing. It just doesn't work very reliably. Here's what I love about my Lexus RC350. 1) I leased it and I get to give it back! 2) Since it's leased, I don't pay for maintenance! Lexus pays for it; it's their car after all. 3) The AWD in the snow is really amazing. 4) The seats are quite comfortable and I'm glad to have both heated and cooled options. 5) It's just enough fun that I'm not constantly on the verge of losing my license (that's what the RC F is for, stupid fun). I really do like the car. It is a fun car as a daily driver and despite that center stack business, it has a very nice and comfortable interior. I just don't see myself wanting to keep it long term. There are too many other interesting options out there.

Stop taking it to a stealer ship, you can take it to a trusted shop. Just because you have a Lexus doesn't mean you have to take it there for service. I have had many Lexus vehicles and I own 2 now. Never been to the dealership, add extended warrantee is BS and way over priced for a glorified Toyota.

move your freaking face out of the way i need to see the car

Go to Toyota they do same thing for half price.

My 30k cost $502.

I don't see any reason to not like this car lexus are the best

I’m a technician so I’m fine lol

Do your own oil change save your money

Damn!😱😳 That's an absolute rip off dude, ffs!🤬🥵 Lexus are totally taking advantage of you dude😮😢! Please be more wise! Nonetheless, keep up the decent work with your channel.

1 thing I hate about my lexus My Lexus doesn't exist

Buy a low mile supra x3

Before watching this it has to be the power, this car should be a turbo six or a NA v8 around 400hp atleast. I wanted an rc350 f sport but when I found out at the dealership it only comes in a NA v6 with 311hp 280tq I told him I’m going to pass on this. It’s over priced and underpowered. If I could afford an LC500 or even the RC F I would of bought it but I went a totally different direction and bought a new and custom ordered 21 challenger TA392 widebody.

service appointment to rebalance the tires. lol wut?

Those services and the cost are a joke dude. They aren’t performing magic. Any mechanic can do what they’re doing for much less.

Talk to the service manager FFS
