As with any car I would look for leaks all around. You can visibly see brake pad depth... I use a small telescoping mirror as well.

Stock Toyota/Lexus anti-freeze is pink. Coolant recovery bottle is under the front "Do Not Touch" cover on passenger side but you can see from rear.

Maybe test out the USB port with a music player. Overall these vehicles have very few specific TSBs. Even at 100K miles it will still be covered for the Secondary Air Injection Warranty.

acrad,

i removed the "do not touch" because I noticed the coolant a little low just to top it off. I have noticed this low on all the previous Lexus's I've had (07' gx, 14 Is). I didn't think it was too low since there was little bit of pink left at the bottom but def Lower than the minimum line. Is it me, or the dealers running this way too low?

Dealer tech I bought from must have opened when engine was still warm/hot. I thought it was odd the pink fluid that had all been cleaned up except exposed after I took the skid plate off. Recovery bottle was empty so I bought a jug of the premixed pink Toyota fluid and topped off radiator and tank. Call this one I missed on initial inspection.

Pulled the trigger today, it was really nice and clean 1 owner. new Lexus oem windshield installed by the dealer few months ago, both brakes were done along with alignment. But the thing which caught my eye is that the reverse camera is lil blur and when I look at the lens it looked hazy. Is there any way to fix it without changing the actual camera. The thing I like most are the F sports grill and wheels.

Congrats!!

Looks like once you remove the rear interior plastics the camera is just held in by two bolt head screws. Unfortunately camera is probably sealed up pretty good to prevent intrusion from the elements. If it can't be cleaned up a replacement would likely be needed.

Beautiful! Looks just like my 2014 just with red tails. Now that I see it I think I'm going to seek out a pair of those for my truck. Looks WAY nicer than the clear IMO.

I am also looking for one in Dallas area, were the dealers willing to negotiate?, If yours did, would you mind sharing the contact details?. Thanks.

Trying to decide which deal is better, both 1 owner and dealer maintained, price includes taxes and fees.

1. 2010 Base 100k $25.6k (lexus dealer)
2. 2013 Prem 100k with crawl $29.5k (small dealer)

Not sure if Premium with crawl is worth $4k premium. Both of them have nav and comfort options.

2013s would have some upgrades compared to the 2010, there's another thread here. Mainly the navigation would be nicer then the 2010 and plus the heated steering wheel etc. what color are both trucks.

Not sure if Premium with crawl is worth $5k premium. Both of them have nav and comfort options.
Not sure if the '10 has any additional packages as well but...

If you can swing it I would go for the 2013. That crawl is an extremely rare bird.

Far more features than crawl though
