Any Toyota/Lexus Fainbois Here?

I just sold my 2003 GS300 with the fantastic bullit proof 2JZ inline 6cyl 3 liter rated at 230hp and great real world torque . I loved the engine and auto/paddle shift Trans combo . The interior fit and finish was very nice at first but really didn't hold up very well and required a lot of attention with the rear and side mirrors and the door locks had their own agenda and the leather wasn't very durable . The car had 125k when I sold it to a coworker and to be honest it was a bit of diva and rarely driven hence the low mileage . Nice vehicles but do require a little more attention than most .

 

2004 GX with 225k. Zero issues

 

I can say with certainty that one is a winner. It's a great engine.

 

RC = coupe (2D)
GS = sedan (4D)

My interest is with the 4D model. A quick glance at used models see they still pull in a premium. Not good for me. But now to look and see if tuning info is readily available for the motor, and if transmission can handle extra power. I'll also start scanning ads for a good find if one pops up. Time is on my side, as this is a desire, not an immediate need.

 

The Lexus group is dialed in and the fit and finish is top notch when purchasing new and the drive trains are remarkable in most cases . I gave 42k in 2003 for my GS and every time I drove it something else in the cabin would go wrong , long story short I tried to pamper it but in the end it was a major headache and repair bills added up to unload . 2JZ and transmission were fantastic but the rest of the car mainly the interior cabin was a " Not ever again" .

 

Going on 13 years with the IS-F and not one single thing has broken, rattled or squeaked. Well the amplifier died but that was due to dumbass and not Lexus.

 

2009 IS250 AWD bought brand new 180k my daily driver, only thing I replaced was one O2 sensor. 2014 Tundra bought brand new 100k no issues. Wife drives 2020 RX350 F Sport bought brand new, love the ride and everything about the car, we took it twice to Florida and once to Georgia no issues (new/er car low milage)... Lexus / Toyota only cars I am buying!

 

Always wanted one of those, my next purchase may be IS500!

 

Absolute ‘YOTA fanboi here. Sadly it’s everything mid-2000’s and older. Toyota nowadays just pisses me off. They need to shitcan the they/them that designed the new little pickup I’ve been longing for!! I miss every HILUX we had in the past. Currently window shopping for a 22re engined pickup for either a garage queen or resto, now that I’ve got a nice real garage and space for another even to sit and be pretty

 

Somebody here, has a very nice early 90s extended cab 4x4 with around 90K on the clock!! !!!!! I’ve been eyeing it up to offer to buy it, but I never see which one of “them” owns it. We could just see the odo without looking suspicious

 

Waiting on orders to open up on the new GX.

 

I use my Z71 chubby for the race trailer and toy hauler/camper but my everyday ride is a 2000 single cab Tacoma with the 2.7 liter 4cyl , and it really is so dang reliable with hand crank windows and nopower nothing , it does have AC though

 

As much as I can blah blah blah about 22r/re’s……I had a 2000 2.7 also, but extended cab. Absolute ran like a top. Loved it!! If that damn southern fence would have been up, I’d still have it I’ll take a 1st or 2nd gen TACO as a garage queen too nowadays

 

Currently rolling ‘03 v6 Tundra and an ‘04 RAV4 that I don’t think my daughter wants to give back……..even though she totaled my 03 granny Camry that had just over 80k

 

Your stock subwoofers won't compete with the youngsters thumping at the traffic lights

 

Old man is ok with that...

 

My folks bought some Lexus Rx SUV type thing. I drove it a couple times. Fkn hate it. Can never get the seat and steering wheel in a position that's remotely comfy. Bang my knees getting in and out. Dunno who they build them for.

Lexus sedans are nice and though.

 

If it's the turbo 4 cylinder RX350 I would agree. I was not impressed.

 

One of my favorite things about the 2000 single cab short bed is its incredibly tight turning radius , the truck feels like it can spin around 360 on its wheels the cons are tiny cabin space and turtle acceleration but it does have decent torque for when I pull my 362 ranger bass boat .
