Does anyone have any info on the changes due for the 2005 LS430?
I know any changes would be minor or performance related, but any
information would be great. I'm trying to decide whether to buy now or
wait for the '05's.

Hi. I need a repair manual for a 1995 Lexus. Can I use
the Haynes manual for a 1995 V6 Avalon? I don't need the
factory manual for what I want to do. Oil changes, change
the valve cover gasket for the V6 etc. That's it.

This transmission lag problem is now bothering me. I didnt notice it at
first, but yesterday for the first time, and while i was in a middle of a
left turn, the Lexus hesitated for about 2 seconds. Almost got hit. I called
Lexus dealership and they tell me if I use premium gas this ...

OK, I know it's a really negative way of looking at things - and
you'll all probably say "it won't go wrong", but I'd like to know some
of the costs when it does.
How much for a new box when the exhaust starts to blow?

Are Blizzak and Nokian tires equally good choices for
winter highway and around town driving for a 1990
LS400?
Or does one brand have advantage over another?

In yesterday's WSJ, an article says that the NHTSA is discontinuing for now
its investigation into the lag problem. More specifically, it was
investigating "sudden acceleration" associated with the ES300's
transmissions in '02 and '03 vehicles. It is now taking a wait and see

I know nothing abt Lexus
Nephew will be using a 1990 LS400 as a vehicle for
college
It has 200k miles on it

In general terms, what should I check when purchasing a used, 10 yr.
old Lexus? Besides checking the vin# with carfax and taking it to a
garage, what else should I check? Also, should I take it to a garage
that specializes in Toyotas/Lexus, or should I take it to a general

I was wondering what the "normal" gas milage should b for an RX300
(AWD).  I have a 2000 with 45000 miles that gets no more than 16.5 MPG
with a healthy mix of city and x-way.  Doesn't seem to matter much if
I change octane.  I was hoping to get closer to 20 MPG with this car

We just moved from a place where I had a Genie door opener and I was able to
program the Homelink (1st button towards the window).  It worked great.  We
just moved to another home and I had a Lift Master garage door opener put in
and I have tried everything and cannot get it to take ...

Is the audio system in '94 GS300 any good? I have the standard audio system.
I know I'm asking lots of questions about this car but I want to make sure
with you guys before purchasing anything.
Thanks again

I read in one article that the '94 GS 300 requires Premium fuel but all the
review I've read don't mention anything like that (they only say unleaded).
Is it only premium or can I use regular unleaded?

In 1994, were Lexus cars under Toyota? I'm in the process of purchasing a
'94 GS 300 and I want to make sure that the Lexus still has the same
reliability as the Toyota.
Thanks.

Somebody please tell me how can I program my keyless entry remote switch.
Mine is a 1998 300E Lexus.
Thanks,
