It should be a day. I had a pedal recall also and dropped it off and got the hs hybrid.

They gave me an ES for the day and I couldn't wait to get my car back! Luckily, I got my car back the same day.

Mine was a current basic model. Only had 1400 miles or so. Black with tan interior. I have a pic, maybe we should start a post up your loaner thread haha

I think I should be getting one on Saturday.

Will they loan out an IS? I hardly get to drive my car. It would be nice to drive one like it. Or I'd like to check out a 250 6MT.

Are you sure about the nav and lux? Every time I was there I've gotten an ES350, no nav (not sure about luxury pack), granted this was over two years ago so times have most likely changed.

Our dealer (Lawrence Lexus) has AWD IS250's, ES350's, RX350's, HS250h's and a couple of AWD GS350's. Most of the loaners now even have navigation and XM activated.

Yes, I am sure because all three had memory seats on them, which is one of the indicators it has luxary package since I driven all the current loaner cars which were 2010s.

did your car show signs that it needed the valve spring job? or did you just do it?
