I understand what you're getting at.. Like if she couldn't work a day or something out of the ordinary happens..she'd be stuck with $400 a month that she could not pay Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jan 19, 2009 10:32 am)

Replying to: uzi13 (Jan 18, 2009 7:22 pm) Yeah, that's it...or if some unexpected repair came up, she'd have to borrow to pay for it. There's just not one ounce of slack in her plan, is what I mean. And we all know that life doesn't always throw soft pitches into the strike zone.   I'm sure you've read many stories on these boards, even from Lexus owners, where something big hit them right out of the blue.
#302 of 339 Recall by sanish Jan 19, 2009 (1:56 pm)
Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc. will launch a Safety Recall with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) involving approximately 214,500 Lexus vehicles sold in the United States.   On certain 2006 through 2008 model year GS300/350, IS250/350, and LS460/460L vehicles, Lexus has determined that some ethanol fuels with a low moisture content may corrode the internal surface of the fuel delivery pipes. If this condition occurs, the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) in the combination meter may illuminate. Over time, the corrosion may create a pinhole in the fuel delivery pipes resulting in fuel leakage.   Lexus dealers will replace the fuel delivery pipes with newly designed components. No other Lexus or Toyota vehicles are involved.   Lexus will inform owners of the involved vehicles with a Safety Recall notification via first-class mail beginning in late January. Owners are requested to contact their local Lexus dealer for diagnosis and repair at no charge.   Customers with questions or concerns should contact the Lexus Customer Assistance Center at 1-800-255-3987.   Media Web site: http://www.toyotanewsroom.com   Public Web site: http://www.toyota.com

Replying to: ux149 (Mar 01, 2007 8:11 pm) Hi, I am looking at an 06' IS250 that had this same issue with VSC light. Did they Lexus ever fix your problem with this car. If so, do you remember what they did. My wife would also drive short distances to work. Your quick response would be very much appreciated.   Thanks in advance for your reply,   Steve in Arkansas
#304 of 339 Cracked rim by kgk3 Mar 03, 2009 (5:18 pm)
I have a 2006 IS 350 with a cracked (and bent) front rim (18" double spoke). Lexus wants $800+ for a new rim and says its not covered by the warranty because it's due to hitting something hard. Any thoughts on this? Shouldn't a wheel designed to carry low-profile tires be able to withstand some bumps in the road?   Any ideas how to find out whether Lexus would cover this under the warranty?

Replying to: kgk3 (Mar 03, 2009 5:18 pm) It's not covered...   They tried to sell me the tire package for $500 and have a cracked (with a chunk taken out) rim on display...it covered everything from tire & rim (100%...not pro-rated)   I declined.   I think you'd have a better time going after the city for the state of the roads than Lexus.

Replying to: kgk3 (Mar 03, 2009 5:18 pm) kgk3 and anyone who has experienced a bent or damaged rim (seems like almost always a front one!) on an IS250 or IS350 email me at LexusISproblems>>sbcglobal>>net. I also got one bent rim and one with flat spots and Lexus does not want to accept any responsibility for this.   See more details here... http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/pts/1161870200.html

I found in the maintenance booklet that the IS has a timing "chain" (instead of belt), and "sealed" transmission and transfer case. Therefore, no need for associated fluid changes nor expensive timing belt change; unlike many other Lexus/Toyota vehicles. This should help keep maintenance costs down. I can't remember having been told this by the dealer/service rep but it's good news for me. (48K mi on my '06 IS 250awd)
#309 of 339 Brake dust remedy by loucopits Jul 15, 2009 (6:36 pm)
My wife's IS250 would have filthy wheels a few miles after a car wash. The dealer replaced the pads at no charge and the dust is problem far better.
