Okay, my car has problems that a Lexus with 200,000 miles should have. Something is wrong, Lexus is known for their reliability and somthing breaks down every other day with the thing.

Now it's the AC, it blows hot air! It blows cool for a few seconds and then hot! It was embarrasing when my I had a couple of girls in the car and it was burning outside!

Anyone have Carfax and can do a check for me? The vin is:
JT6HJ88J0V0179618

I appreciate any help, thanks! I just want to know what's up, it said their were 5 reports on it!

I have, ahem, a source for CarFax and this is the info I came up with...

It has a clean title and no odometer fraud that CarFax is aware of. Your LX450 was a lease vehicle. I've attached the pertinent info as two picture files (it was the easiest way).

Unhappy Thanks Brian...

I really appreciate that.

So it was a lease. I kinda figured that from all the dog hairs and chewed up rear handle. That would probably explain the premature wear and tear, they knew they were giving it back and they didn't care.
