Default Air bag done

Just had my air bag recall done by a dealer down in Mt. Kisco NY. Nice job and great dealer. It took 2 hrs and they also did my NYS inspection. They provided a ride into town for my bride and I. Got it back washed and vacuumed along with a full tank of gas. Of course they recommended that I get a few things done but as they we not issues and I usually do them myself. As I was leaving they gave me a back if the envelope trade in at 15K toward a new one. I'm still having a hard time with the grill but if I do consider down the road I'll be going for an AWD GS.

I second that grill opinion too. Its ugly. Its like they are trying to outdo the grills on the audis which they accomplished albeit not in a good way!

i had a 10k trade they gave me offer of last time i was in for a oil change with my 07 ES with 217k on it at the time considering that i took out a loan last year to pay down some credits cards and i got a low interest car loan from my credit union to borrow money on the car to consildate and i owed 4500 on the car still i actualy was thinking about the offer of 10k cause 4500 goes towards paying off car and 5500 would go towards the new car but i thought about it and desided naw ill just wait and sometime in the summer or fall i may get somehting new onces a settlment check int he family comes in
i was thinking when its time to so many options to go with id like a 2013-2015 RX 450H or a 2016 or newer ES350 or a couple year old CT or a NX what ever i could find certified with navigation and not spend more than about 28k is right where i want to be i just want to make sure its atleast a 2013 so i can still get it as a certified

I had toyed around with the thought of a 2010-2012 LS and i even found a not to old ls460 with 256k lots of miles and just not even that old for like just under 18k and im like wow i think it was like 2-3 years old with that many miles on it thinking you know its got to still be good if its only a few years old and that many miles

That must have been a while ago as the present value is around half of that. As for buying new cars I usually pay cash. Being retired and having no debt it's pretty easy to do.

Do you know in particular which airbag they replaced? For example was it just the driver side steering wheel airbag? Or do they do the one in the dash as well?

The drivers side is fine the one covered by the recall is the one under the dash on the passengers side.

I had my 2010 ES 350 passenger side airbag replaced on Thursday this week. I dropped off the car Wednesday in the evening and they had it done at 2pm the next day. When I picked up the car it was washed and vacuumed and they filled up the gas tank - great service! They gave me a new RX350 as a loaner. I loved the heads-up display and the large screen on the RX350. They recommended a few service items needing to be done down the road. I asked about getting the transmission fluid flushed and replaced and they said that it is a sealed system and never needs to be serviced. I hadn't heard of that on any car.
