I would suggest also reviewing the NELOC section in the forum for some local events. BTW there is a BBQ this weekend in NOVA and there is a thread in that forum with details. We can never have enough SC's represented.

hey guys, sorry still don't have any pics to show yet. as soon as i give the car a good clean and take some pics I'll post it. it seems like this new used car is giving me more issues than I'd like. mostly little stuff like blown mid sub, trunk struts and replacing the tires with non run flats. the front passenger side bearing has gone bad on me, has anyone have this problem? luckily i've a buddy that's a Lexus technician but it would still cost 2-3 bills. i've never thought of buying extended warranty for any of my vehicle but I'm having second thoughts with this car.

Congrats on being an SC owner and welcome! Other than the blown bearing, your blown mid-sub, trunk-struts and replacing runflats are some of the most common issues with SC owners.... and usually the biggest problems you should have. You'll really enjoy your ride.

Welcome from Bethesda!! I bought my 04 PBE last January in VA - Lexus Certified and glad it was as I had a few issues - all fixed now due to excellent care at Lexus of Rockville. Flat-runs were already way gone by previous owner - good move!! Love the car. You should have some good topdown weather even in winter here.
