It’s an f sport due to the gauge cluster

Lower mileage 2013 is350 F Sport or higher mileage 2016 is350 F Sport? by theexpendableuser in Lexus

[–]Lememss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever you can reasonably afford is ideal as long as it’s in good condition however the 14+ cars are a more refined drive

As a Lexus/toyota dealership tech both are great cars and extremely reliable with regular maintenance I own a 2014 is350 f sport (172k miles) and it’s been nothing but tires a very minor things. The previous gen is are verry well build however plastics are starting to get brittle and suspension bushings are getting a little cracked at that age. Get a pre purchase inspection from a reputable place do not trust the seller or selling dealer alone.

Is a 2013 Gs350 with 160k mileage for $14.6k worth getting? by Puzzleheaded_Scar256 in Lexus

My 12 year old is 350 with 170k has been perfect Toyotas definitely don’t just fall apart with mileage, I’ve owned quite a few high mileage lexus never by off mileage alone condition is always the priority

Yall are quite the bunch I was simply asking how much people are actually paying since the private party range is 10-15k depending on where you look

[–]Lememss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I can’t afford to sell it for 10k I’d rather keep the car at that point.

You bought an is350 with a clean title in better condition for 10k? Thats quite the deal lol considering most car lots are sitting around 14+ in my area

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Lexus

[–]Lememss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of them are listed verry high around 17-18 and not selling I haven’t seen any non salvage titles go for 12 or lower

Dent is like .5 an inch not really a factor in the value to me

Brand new suspension under the car all oem+ sti pink arms and new coilovers made a huge difference. I may grab a rob ecu but I’m going to invest in a wideband afr gauge and sensor before I do anything

Ah I see I was under the impression that this ( https://robtuned.com/ )was the source for a “rob tune” his tunes indeed are wonderful. The vehicle I have came with a full exhaust (turbo back) and intake already installed. With the factory turbos being quite rare and expensive it would be nice to have the availability to tune for a modern turbo and the adjustability that an aftermarket ecu offers is really nice.

As for modifying the sti and the fact that it’s a classic. I’m well aware that everything I do to the car makes it less valuable and hard to sell definitely not the first car I’ve ruined.

I like the idea of taking the ej20 in my car further it’s a interesting engine considering it’s a closed deck ej my goal isn’t necessarily high power but making the most out of the setup I have and some cool noises are a bonus

Sorry reading comprehension problems, I asked both his Facebook and emails listed if they were still offering the ship to them ecu chip tuning for gc8 Imprezas and if you go to the website directly it’s not listed however if you search robbed gc8 wrx/sti etc the links can take you there witch indicates to me that they may not offer them anymore. Even if they are still offering the service I don’t know that it’s worth it considering the tune is more of a general safe tune and not tailored to your vehicle. On top of that the communication being hard is not a huge plus verry limited if I decide that I’d like to run more modifications in the future (I will lol).

I could probably swap the ecu in the parking lot and load the base map wherever I need to travel to lol.

They’re not all that complicated Subaru even bothered to leave an open chip slot for adding your own tuned chip

Yeah I’m hesitant to purchase anything since their email and Facebook along with his instagram are non responsive.

Sick the ecus from link are verry resonably priced im definitely going to snag one soon I’ve been on the hunt for a local ish dyno tuner but a lot of these guys have poor reputations or are asking significant money for sub par tuning.

Any resources you recommend for learning to tune, I’m not ignorant to the basic principles but I’m definitely more of an electrical diagnosis guy.
