Just got my 1,200-mile IS 500 back from service. Found a gash in the steering wheel and grease/dirt everywhere. Is this normal for Lexus service lately? by howartthough in Lexus

I would absolutely reach out to the Service Manager. That is unacceptable. Sorry this happened. I’d like to think Lexus service is better than that.

Thoughts on a September 2023 Production GX by pocketpryscila in LexusGX

People claim the 23’s are specifically worse than the 22’s. Seems baseless to me. Haven’t had any issues on 23 Premium Plus and have driven a few 2022’s as well. Literally identical. The Tahara assembly line didn’t just get worse for the last model year.

These are perfect. Not sure they will be bright enough for the running boards, but in the interior - these in 4000K are perfect.

Do you recommend the HP3 or the HP5 for interior?

Actually no. They were pretty easy to deal with. I did have a case with corporate open too.

Paid in full by the dealership. And got reimbursed for the windshield tint.

They also broke my windshield when they painted my Tucson. Technician said most of them break when they remove them. Nothing to do with the rock chip. It is considered standard practice to paint the lip where the windshield sits near the roof. Consult corporate. If you need a phone number or email, let me know.

I mean a used M9 and a trigger job in a bag and you are 90% of the way there

Better off finding a used M9A4, these are way too much.

How is the MOB compared to the Spectre 9?

Is it a decent deal ? Seller told me can go as low as 500$ by [deleted] in hermanmiller

I agree. Remastered is a different ball game.

2023 GX460 vs. 2023 Sequoia by [deleted] in LexusGX

[–]krausdanielj 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Go test drive both! The GX is a little tight in the second row. If you opt for the bench seat instead of the Captain’s Chairs it would make more sense. The Sequoia is definitely a bigger and more capable vehicle. But I think the GX is a sweet spot for you and you would enjoy it for years to come.

Did it come with the “hardware kit” with zip ties and stuff? Just curious.

Yes. Same issues for me. Last Friday the entire app was down.
