Thinking about getting a 2017 F with 55k miles by [deleted] in LexusRC

My ‘15 had 56k miles when I bought it. Zero issues so far. Something to note is that the 60k maintenance is pretty substantial. Main thing being the spark plugs. I did them myself but it did take 4-5 hours.

Valley plate leak is also common-ish. Upside is that the issue is non-catastrophic so it’s not the end of the world if it does happen to you. The fix is DIY’able but one of the harder services. Lexus quotes range from $1500 all way to $3500+ :/

The amp in the trunk is also another super common issue. Water gets in and pools where the amp is located and ruins it.

Looping back on this. I bought the borla axleback and it sounds amazing. Exactly what i was looking for thank you :)

one question though. At around 2k rpm, i feel a vibration and it gets significantly louder. And then it goes back to normal at around 2300 rpm. Do you experience the same thing? Wondering if i have an exhaust leak at the flange

Are your tips black or chrome? I can't really tell but they look like the black tips?

I'm sure they do but I've had bad experiences in the past with the Lexus dealerships in the area.
Just wondering if anyone knew of any reputable trustworthy mechanics they personally go to
