It's time for tire replacement. Currently the car has michelin harmony tires. These tires have been very very smooth. Should I replace with the same? Also, just replaced the front struts...therefore, should I get the a 4 wheel alignment as well?
  
My car has 144,00 miles. How many miles should I bank on having the car. Car has been maintained very well. I'd love to see it go to 200k or better. I drove the LS430...the ride is about the same ...it just has more bells and whistles for a steep price...but mine is paid for...what do you think?
 
Also, the radio light has gone out...is this the beginning of the end of the panel lights...if so, what is the average repair bill? Is it a difficult job to do labor wise?
 
Thanks,
  
Gwen

You need to get a hold of a good mechanic, preferably a Lexus/Toyota mechanic. As for the heated not working, it could just be a fuse problem. The front suspension needs to be inspected by a alignment specialist. I am not sure if you want spend a lot for a brand new. If you are planning to keeping the car for a long time then a brand new radio will suit you. You can also find a good radio at the junk yard, EBay or maybe even an ad in the local paper.

Not sure if you noticed, but you responded to a message that is more than 9 years old. Not a problem, as your advice may be helpful to someone else who's having a similar problem, but you might not want to waste time in the future trying to fix a problem that's probably already been solved, or the car sold long ago.

You can go to Sam's Club and buy yourself a set of wipers. They can install it for at no charge as London as you buy it from them. I am not sure is Costco if they can install it for you. The dealer charges $60.00 for a pair is pricey. You can also buy it from an outside guy for less.
