Your Lexus's are in great condition, the F looks like it's in good hands.

That red RX400h is a pretty rare color

Also the dealer is going to love the SC430. Still a very in demand vehicle.

My 675 sport bike engine use to feel super fast.. After a few years, it became just fast. Though, it's still a thrill to ride on the right roads.

To the OP, congrats & welcome!

Well that didn't last long.
The car had a shake between 80-90mph.
So I took it to a Lexus dealer and they found that all four wheels were bent.
The unibody had a wrinkle indicating an accident.
All the panels on the front of the car were misaligned.
The drivers door was missing sound deadening and was put together with wrong parts.


The dealer I bought it from failed to disclose a previous accident and that the car was from out of province.


So within the 30 days, I took it back and exchanged it for a 2016 Highlander.


The dealer put it right back on the lot with no repairs. Be careful!

Wow... sorry to hear that. '16 Highlanders are nice!
How in the world does all 4 wheels get bent and how in the world do it pass any dealerships pressure inspections??? Sounds shady....but quite possibly they bought the vehicle not knowing those things as well (if the carfax doesn't show an accident history).

That is low and deceptive. Sorry you you got scammed, hope you enjoy the Highlander.

That sucks. I guess I should go drive 80-90 mph and see what mine does.

Oh, they knew quite well. ( I bought my own Carfax after the fact.) They just didn't give a ****. They weren't a Lexus dealer, merely a Toyota dealer.

The Highlander is growing on me. , it's slightly larger than my departed RX, but just as nicely equipped.

A lot of those Toyota dealers have a Lexus shop also. Which Toyota Dealer were you dealing with?

Post the vin of the car just in case someone googles it they will see this thread with your info. I always do my homework before making a big purchase that was pre owned. Hopefully the new F owner doesn't get Fd
