Default Questions

I have pretty much decided that the 30K or so I plan on spending on my next car would be better spent on a 01 or 02 GS-430 rather than on something new. Of course, this is all contigent on my actually getting to drive one The closest Lexus dealership is 140 miles away.
What I am curious about is what are the factory recommended service intervals for this car? Things like timing belt / chain replacement, valve adjustments, transmission service intervals.
Thanks
Bill

well you want a good mechanic to do it, but it's not something that only experts can do

Bill,

Many folks who live far away from Lexus dealers also take their cars to the Toyota dealer for major service intervals. Maybe one of those is closer to you.
