Some of these posts about the fire remind me of an email I got a while back. It seems, some guy in Nigeria needed to transfer a bunch of funds to a US bank account. All I would have to do is give him my bank account number and he would give me $10K just "for my assist in trans action."

If this fire is real, I suspect human intervention or crappy maintenance.

 

Werd. No way in hell a lexus would spontainiously combust for no reason. A cavalier maybe, but not an LS430

 

it happened for a reason..maybe if the car wouldnt of caught on fire you might of continue driving an perhaps crash/flip/gotten highjacked at gun point and shot a couple of miles later, just think about it like this "it happened for a reason"

 

As a physician, I don't want to say something I'm not 100% sure. Just talked to one mechanic, a patient of mine. He advised me to buy Toyota avalon or Acura. Wait 3 years, if I want LS 460. Still, this one failed me after 6 years.

 

THREAD FAILURE

 

stuff happens man. dont blame it on lexus. its not like everyday you hear about a lexus on fire. this is probably the first time i have ever heard of a LS430 on fire .

 

So, did you register on Clublexus to ask for advice or just to say that you arn't going to purchase a Lexus again? You sound really familiar though......

 

This is smelling more and more like a troll. I even PM'd my email address so I could host the pictures.

IronCobra, how's he sound familar ?

 

Yes, no car is perfect.

Please do share as we're curious about this. Something that current LS owners need to know

If you're that afraid of even getting an 07 LS, why can't you disclose the problem? Any 07 LS up in flames yet?

 

No pics?

Buy a Toyota Avalon or Acrua instead? What makes those a better choice over the LS?

This seems like a troll discussion.

 

Yea I would rather have an avalon over an LS cause there both made by toyota and the look the same. ROTFLMAO

 

This is a true story and I'm still waiting for the inspection report. I have one avalon first built in USA(assembled, I believe), is working fine for 10 years. Just maintenance and battery change.

 

Some say "seeing is believing"
