I drive 45,000 miles a year. I'm on my 7th used Lexus LS 430,460. I buy them used with around a 100,000 to 125,000 miles on them and run them to 250,000 then I start looking for the next one. I pay around 15,000 for them and sell them for around 8,000 when I'm done with them. Best luxury used car buy ever!!!! Usually do very little to the maintenance wise beyond oil, breaks and tires. Sometimes I do the rear shocks myself. I HIGHLY recommend picking one up.

My 95 SC400 was easily the most favorite car I've owned. I know Scotty generally doesn't like the v8 models but that thing was a tank. Almost 200,000 miles on it before it was totaled. Still ran like a dream before the wreck and the only thing I had to fix on it was the crappy plastic radiator. The best highway car I've ever owned. It was fast and handled perfectly.

No Scotty you weren’t wrong about Lexus, at least the older ones. I have an 06 ES330 that appears to look exactly like that one. Same color exterior, same interior and stereo. Bought it used a year ago and it’s the most reliable car I’ve ever owned. Regular maintenance plus changed the water pump when I changed the timing belt and oil seals to be safe while I was in there. Only problem was the gas cap failed but a new OEM Toyota/Lexus one off eBay was about $12. I’m happy.

I got a 2006 GS300 AWD with 145,000 km on it 3 weeks ago. There are some minor problems related to this decade's Lexus : dashboard rattles a little bit and there is water inside the headlights. But there are no mechanic nor any cosmetic problem and it drives really well. I will have those issues fixed and it will be in top shape. And the more I drive it, the more I like the handling, the equipment, the comfort, the soundproofing and the sound system. Lexus really did a good job.

Ive been learning all about cars and car repairs through your channel and I must say you would have been a better physician than 90% of the ones I worked with. The way you diagnose ( thats the correct word for the skill and knowledge you have ) is so similar to the way I diagnosed patients its uncanny.

@jadenippersiel912 4 года назад

For all of you who say “if new cars are so bad why isn’t anyone working on them” that’s what a new car is, they just aren’t made to be fixed like they used to be, so when those glory miles/km go by and things do break, it’s gonna break sooner, it’s going to cost much more to fix, and depending on the company, you may need to get it fixed at the dealership and won’t be able to do it yourself with all of the tech in cars now. I personally think new cars for the most part look so cheap compared to older cars

@Dcc357 4 года назад

Being the masochist mechanic I am, I finally decided to do valve cover gaskets, plug tube gaskets, and spark plugs on my mom's 2002 Toyota Sienna. Yes, a 1MZ V6 crammed in a tiny engine bay, tucked against the firewall at a slant angle! Had to take the intake off, but left the throttle body on because I do not want to remove coolant lines. Got both valve covers off exposing the cams. I made this 7 hour job worthwhile and used silicone gaskets instead of rubber, sucked the oil out of a few spark plug tubes with a mighty vac before replacing the plugs, and cleaned all the oil that leaked from the back valve cover with LOTS of brake clean after getting everything back together. Saved my mom at least $1000. You will never find a better 2002 Sienna! She uses it to keep miles off her Grand Cherokee Hemi.

Scotty..i just start the motor..then lift the coil out..if the engine changes idle then that one is ok..when you pull the one and the idle don't change that's the bad one..worked for me..

I look at a Tape Deck as a plus; having a variety sound system. Closer to an "ultimate sound system".

@stevemccooleq 4 года назад

I have an 04 ES330. Hate the transmission, jerky, jumpy shifts from 2 to 3. It's a well known problem. Also the plastic radiator blew up (the day I lent it to my daughter, never fails) so they are not bullet proof.

@mannymotta2174 4 года назад

My 04 Sienna has that same engine. I still have it. Best Toyota I ever had . You can’t even hear the motor run. I’ve had a 87 pickup, an 01 and 16 Tacoma, 05 4Runner and Corolla. The timing belt engines seem to be just better.... I can’t explain it. But I’ll be sad the day I have to part with my Sienna

Hello, Scotty. Big fan here. I recently bought a 2013 Honda Accord Coupe V6 6AT, 77k miles, car is very fine, only the frontend of the car will shake, not very badly but noticably at around 55mph, at a certain gear when the engine is running at around 750-800 rpm. Does not happen at other gears at the same ~55 mph speed so far, does not happen at other rpm at the same gear. No engine lighters or other symptoms. Please help and take care.

And it goes away when not stepping on gas.

I took the intake off my 2001 toyota avalon and that was a huge pain. I didn't even fix it right. I will have to take it off AGAIN and redo it!

Thank you, I have this engine in my 06 Toyota sienna which I bought after watching your videos, thanks to 2020 I had to sell my truck I still owed on and figured minivans aren't popular so would be a cheap option, it's my 1st Toyota and am very impressed, when I get back on my feet will definitely be looking for a older tundra

Just purchased a 2011 LS 460 with only 54K miles at a Ford/Lincoln dealer for $18K! Clean car fax. Sold for $70K when new. They’re out there if you look long enough.

Totally agree with him. That model of Lexus is very reliable and very quiet. We have one and we don't want to give it up.

I still like the Avalon's better. Less expensive and the differences between the top trim Avalon and the Lexus are not worth the price premium.

I had a 1998 Chevy Tracker, it had both cassette and cd player. I might sound weird, but I wish my present car now, a 2017 Santa Fe, had both. it does have a cd player. I still have cassettes I love. I guess working in the manufacturing of music media I love all my music.

Hey Scotty, can you do a video on replacing power steering pump lines? I had a leak on my SC430 that could've ended my alternator. The replacement lines were 1200$ at dealership and they only offered the entire power steering line assembly, no individual sections. I ended up removing the bad section and replaced with JSAE line using ear clamps to reassemble, instead of normal spring clamps. Saved me $2k with only about 3 hours of work for an amateur.

The Toyota Camry had cassette tape player until 2004. When they updated it for the 2005 model year, they removed the cassette tape

@cristobalcardona5592 4 года назад

Do not buy this Es 300 if you do not want to deal with the 90000 miles replacement of the timing belt! If you are cool with that or they replaced it, then buy it if not ask for a 1000 discount because between parts and labor it can get that high! The ES 350 2007 and up (which I do not reccomend because first model year, buy 2008 up) they don't have a timing belt! Those can run for many more miles plus the water pump can be changed without having to deal with timing belt area! But if that car has low miles and you do not drive that much then I'll would buy it! The 2007 to 2016 have a rubber hose problem you can fix that by spending 40 bucks buying the Camry's all metal line. That's it and drive away! Videos on that line replacement are here or in Toyota forums with all the part numbers! Videos on here for the DYI! I have 3 Lexus 2 have timing belts never again! Spent about 3000 on those changes!
