Helping you find the perfect Lexus.
Posts tagged as:
I’m looking at a 2002-2005 Lexus IS300 but I know very little about maintenance costs with this car. I know it’s a Lexus, but I figure since most of the important parts are Toyota maybes it’s not too bad, and I’d be doing all the work.
Answer #1: No, just most, which is why I asked the question as it’s a toyota engine and drive train.
Answer #2: Stupid
General maintenance is very expensive for any luxury car.

Planning on purchasing a used 1999 Lexus ES300, However Im afraid the maintenance cost for Foreign vehicles is much higher and pricier. Can anyone help me?
the es 300 is like a toyota camry. look under the hood it’s all toyota parts. there is no really no big difference. just replaced my timing belt and water pump total for parts and labor 430 dollars at toyota. just make sure it was serviced and taken care of you will be okay in repairs. i bought my 1997 es 300 in 1998 with 15,000 miles. i still own it with 182,000 and i have had no major issues. same engine and tranny. i had to replace egr valve and oxygen sensors which was not costly. in 11 years under 2,000 dollars in expenses for repairs.

We’re sensing an eerie state of calm from the Lexus officials at the introduction of the 2010 Lexus HS 250h in Newport Beach, California. It’s the kind of calm you experience at a poker table, when you’re waiting for the other guy to finally lay down his cards.
Then it happens. An executive cheerily admits that he hasn’t a clue about how well this newest member of the Lexus family will be received by the marketplace. Fuel prices are too volatile, he says.
In this line of work, a response like this would normally be intercepted by the brain in its formative state and its utterance prevented. So either the Lexus brass is speaking the truth or they’re simply being coy.
We would find out later that it’s some combination of the two.

The first few miles behind the wheel of the 2010 Lexus HS 250h trigger a cascade of questions about this new car’s reason for being. Why a four-cylinder engine in a luxury car? Why not simply Lexus-ize the existing Toyota Camry Hybrid? Why introduce a new sedan that is so similar in size to the existing Lexus ES 350 in the first place?
But it doesn’t take more than a couple of days to have these questions answered. Clearly, Lexus sees no paradox in the addition of a full hybrid to its lineup of luxury cars. Despite the fact that the 2010 Lexus HS 250h with its modest 2.4-liter gasoline engine is closer in concept to the Toyota Prius than the Lexus LS 600h, this new model nevertheless effectively represents the Lexus idea of luxury, safety and convenience in the same way that its six- and eight-cylinder stable mates do.
It’s a Lexus-style hybrid, because practicality and efficiency are legitimate Lexus values, too. Is everybody on the same page now?
