Lexus just wants me to bring my car back in for service as a "checkup", so the maintenance light is on. My car has no problems. How can I turn this light off?
I believe there was a method involving turning the key to accessory and start and off in some pattern to re-set the computer?
Please help! Thank you!
To be honest, it’s my grandmother’s car, and I’m not certain what year it is. It’s an RX though. Most likely an ‘07 or ‘08. It is quite new. Thanks!
if you give the year and model i can tell you. they are all almost the same i just need those things and i can tell you
Ok, RX you have a switch to the left of the steering wheel it says trip/odo this changes your odometer trip there is a trip A and a trip B. With the key in the acc position push the button until u see trip a, then trip b then just the milage on the instrument cluster. then turn the key off, press and hold the trip/odo button and turn the key to the acc position. u should see a dash countdown where the mileage normally is and the maintenance light should blink. when the countdown is over the odometer will turn all 0’s 000000 let go of the trip/odo button. start the car and the light should be off. if the car has a nav sys it may also be programed w/ a maintenance reminder if the car has nav let me know and i’ll tell you how to reset that. hope this helps.

I heard the ES350 has more technology and the ride quality is just as good as the LS430. A con I have for the LS430 is that a new model of LS will be coming soon, and the LS430 will soon become a thing of the past.
You heard correctly, the new ES350 is now being called the baby LS. And it’s because it is now has more technology and luxury features available than those of some earlier LS models.
I test drove one a couple of days ago and the ride is great. Plus it has great power; V6 w/ 272 hp vs. the LS V8 w/ 278. The engine is also more advance and better gas mileage.
And if you have not seen the new LS in person, you don’t want to get an old LS 430 because the new model will make it look severely outdated. By the way, the new models of the LS will be the LS 460, LS 460L (long wheel base) and next spring the LS 600hL (long wheel base hybrid).
And as some uninformed people think, the ES 350 is not the same as a Camry. The older model was on the same frame, but not the same vehicle. The new model is on a modified frame and Lexus vehicles use different metals and even different properties in the type of glass used in the vehicles, not to mention a higher level of technology.
Go for the ES 350!

It’s a Lexus ES350 2008 Model
9600 Mileage – Asking Price is $24,900. but willing to give it for 23K
Test-Drived it, looks pretty smooth. Looks new too.. the body looks brand new too. All the parts were replaced with original Lexus parts not aftermarket.
Seller showed me a certificate from a DMV as Title Rebuilt/Total Loss.
Will I run into any trouble registering it and also getting an insurance?
TAF187: I went to KBB.com but they don’t do an appraisal for Salvage, total Loss titles. this is what the website says: "Kelley Blue Book does not attempt to report a value on a "poor" vehicle because the value of these vehicles varies greatly. A vehicle in poor condition may require an independent appraisal to determine its value." can you please guide me on checking this myself? My loan is about to be approve today and we might close on this sale.. and I wanted to make sure I’m making the right decision here.
You should also consider that such a car may be expensive to insure. Check your insurance rates before buying one, for example here – carquotes.sinfree.net

So I bought a used silver 07 mustang gt last year with my life savings (since 3rd grade till fish yr college lol) which now has 15k miles on it. My dad drives a white 06 ls 430 which he is about to replace with a BMW. The Lexus has 41k miles on it. My dad asked if I want his Lexus, then he would trade-in the mustang towards his new car. Should I take the deal? I mean I’m in college and I don’t want chicks to be turned off by a boring white lexus (sad reason i know but cmon…raging hormones haha). But lexus is a gr8 luxury car n reliable so i’m not sure. What would you guys do?
Lexus,hands down.
It will outlast the mustang
Gets better gas mileage than the mustang
Can fit all your friends/animals/beverages all at once.
Its safer than the mustang,which decreases the likehood of wrapping yourself around a tree or telephone pole.
You won’t attract police/speeding tickets.
You will be able to tow a mini u haul trailer/if ever you need to move stuff
There is no comparison between these cars lexus on top all the way.
Chicks will always think you have dough
