Thumbs down My LEMON is back in the shop!!!!!!

Just wanted to vent about what a piece my 2004 IS300 is! It's back in the shop for the tenth time getting the factory spolier replaced, blower motor for the heater replaced and the front passenger door realigned due to bad wind noise! As i was taking the service manager out for a ride he also mentioned the IS has a weak flywheel and they tend to go quite often! EGADS!!!!! I just have to say this is my first and last Lexus I'd sell it tommorow but I'd lose my shirt (roughly) 20000 so I can't yet. I wish toyota made a car as good as honda, sigh

You bought a demo........ that thing was beaten and rode hard long before you ever got it. If I had a dollar for everytime someone said "I bought a demo car and it was a lemon" I'd have a fleet of IS's in every color with the revenue.

You've also proclaimed to be a honda fan boy from the second you made your first post, so I think some of it is the fact you made your mind up long ago.

Though we'll never know, I think had you not cheaped out for a demo car and gotten one spot on new you probably would have never experienced a problem, or at least not in this volume.......... but we'll never know.

I hope they get that fixed for you this time.

maybe you have money to spare but the 50000 the demo cost me isn;t cheap to me. I know in the states this might be consider a cheap car but not in Canada and the extra 20000 for a brand new one wasn't in the budget.
