@@PasvMnySNPR10x Ive got one with 129k as well. God is it good. What made you think of that car?

I was going to mention this as well. Costly over the life of a vehicle. But it doesn't matter whether its a belt or a chain. Belts wear, chains stretch, they can both snap. The important thing is what happens when it does break. If the engine is an interference engine it will mess up all the valves and timing and wreck the motor. (VW, Mitsu, Acura, Honda, and plenty more companies do this) The alternative is a free running engine which allows the belt or chain to break but not interfere with the engine. What I don't know is what the technical gain is for either configuration. There must be a reason why companies choose to do this one way or another.

@@juancastillo5078 I'd think that a belt-driven valve train would be a cheaper manufacturing cost for carmaker.

@@juancastillo5078 chains last a lot longer than belts. A lot of manufacturers have gone away from belts (I'm thinking of you Honda) for the superior method of Chains.

@@moazdaza2044 Hi Moaz. I had a 1999 Audi A4 that I loved. I sold it to a friend when I was leaving the country for 3 years; he refused to sell it back which is why I bought the Lexus. It has been very reliable. It’s AWD would be better (I think) if I had better tires on it…I eventually will have a set of summer tires and winter tires. Service is pretty easy to get; it mostly uses Toyota parts. I paid $1500 to have the transmission fluid changed (a big deal since this car has a sealed transmission; Scotty has a video on this). I was able to check the service history for this car because Lexus maintains an owner’s website that tracks service performed by Lexus service centers. However, I have a local shop do most of the service. Okay, here are the annoying things with the car: 1. The A/C and heat controls do not have physical buttons/dial for the fan speed; you have to access it using the touch screen. Oy vey! That was almost a deal breaker. But the AUTO setting for environment is extremely good so you rarely need to make manual adjustments. 2. The map/directions system is antiquated and hard to use. I am considering having a module added that will allow me to use the navigation (and other apps) from my phone via Bluetooth. 3. A lot of the features of the car can (and probably should) be adjusted by software. You have to go to the dealer to get that done. I bought a cable and I downloaded the software (without a license) that supposedly can let you make those changes…but you need a Windows 98 computer (which I have). But the system is hit or miss. I managed to get it to connect once; I changed the settings so that the seat/steering wheel do not swing out of the way every time I turn off the engine. I also changed it so that the doors do not automatically unlock when I turn off the engine. 4. The rear view mirror was a mess. I got a replacement that is slightly better. I advise buying a replacement mirror. New ones are expensive. It might make better sense to buy a used one and if it is in bad shape (there are streaks where the silvering is fading), send it to be refurbished. That costs about $100. Then you pay the Lexus dealer $100 or so to install it. 5. The perforated leather seats are rather fragile. It does not take much to get a tear. That happened to my back seat when I put some heavy boxes in there while moving. I get leather conditioner to try and keep it supple…but it is a challenge. At some point, I may have to spend a couple of hundred $$ to get the leather repaired. These are all minor things. There probably are some more. Overall, if you take care of the car, it will probably give you a long life of service. I intend to keep mine for at least 10 years.

How are you getting 30 on the highway?? I usually average about 27mpg highway with my 2008 350 awd

@@itsoundzgood I have to do a fill up right as I start on on a highway only trip. I set the cruise control for 65 mph (or sometimes 55 mph...the lower the speed, the better the mileage) and I fuel up as I am exiting the freeway. If I only track freeway miles at a steady speed, I can get over 30 mpg. Depending on which road I am on and which direction I am heading (say from Columbus, OH to Cleveland...where there is a several hundred foot drop in mean distance above sea level) I can actually get as high as 34 mpg.
