Default Bye Club Lexus!!!

Well i think today is the day that i abanden hope for my SC (Soarer)... its being in the shop for 3 weeks now, and no one knows what is wrong with it!!! we've checked everything, and the car STILL doesnt want to start!!! so right now the shop keep is trying one last thing before he wants my car towed out of the shop, he only needs the Schematics of the car, to do a final check.. but then if nothing works the car is going to be towed away from the shop and back to the college where i might be donating it to the college... its an amazing machine, but we just can't get it too work...

omg! i hope they can fix it, 3 weeks is nothing, wait some time and see what you find out. and to donate... thats very warm hearted of you, but why not just sell it? you can easily get over 5k i think...

Donate it to me, I'll get it started.

I agree, time to find a new shop. Getting a vehicle to start is not rocket science.

I'll take it off your hands if your gonna donate it . Does it at least crank? Does it get fuel and spark? As other mentioned, it might be the ecu. Try to borrow one from someone local.
