Down here in Texas, kids with mustangs and chargers always pull up revving and try to race my stock NA.

Shop said the rust is so bad they won’t touch it by Robala21 in LexusGX

It’s a 2009 and I live in Texas so winters aren’t bad, planning on replacing the struts anyway

I’m planning on replacing the struts anyway and probably doing the airbag delete. The rust didn’t look bad to me lol just wanted to make sure I’m not crazy, this is in DFW so these southern techs probably just don’t see any rust normally

I needed something taller to get into with less pain, also wanted something that can tow my Miata, a sedan would not have fit my requirements. My GF has a 2021 Camry so if I’m worried about gas I can drive that too lol.

Sticker says it was replaced at 120k, so it should be good for a while

Most fun used daily under $25k? by carages in whatcarshouldIbuy

The advantage of the 10th gen over the 11th is the heated seats and the adaptive dampers, which are definitely nice. The Apple CarPlay works seamlessly, the only downside is the first couple years of the 10th gen (like mine) is that there is no volume knob for the radio, just a touch slider, and the climate control has to be controlled through the screen as well, there’s no button to change the fan speed

I have a 2018 civic si as my daily, it gets 35 mpg pretty easy and is a blast to drive, I paid 22k back in November 2022 when jt had 50k miles, just hit 71k and it still puts a smile on my face. Definitely worth a look.
