i am try to get a 90k lexus is350,i scare will be a lot of problem like water pump service,so any one can give me some advice and tell me what the problem will be coming up soon.

 

Ed with Woodfield Lexus,
I'd check the rear calipers, and water pumps. The water pumps tend to fail on those vehicles. Any questions or need more advice give me a call.

Good Luck w/ the purchase!

 

check to see if the recalls have been done like the valve spring and pedal recalls. Regular wear and tear items like brakes, tires.

 

90k...pshhhh..tons of ISX50 here had more than that mileage with no problem..don't worry bout it ..its not bm, benz or audi...

 

So how do I know what kind of recall does the car has been done?

 

if you have the VIN you can sign up at lexus.com and view the service history. Otherwise the dealer should be able to pull that information for you.

 

Even if it had a bad water pump if its a good deal jump on it. Water pump are what a few hundred bucks to replace.

 

if properly maintained, 90k is no problem. most people freak out when they see a high mileage vehicle which is silly

 

I'm at 165k...no problems other than fuel rail even after the recall, easy fix ($600)..shocks ($1000), fuel pump is fine right now, I have an appointment tomorrow so I'll let you know..also leak in transmission seal ($238)...other than that the rest of the stuff is DIY..rotors calipers Etc..

 

Ed with Woodfield Lexus,
Get the VIN and I'll run it for you

Thanks Ed

 

SIMPLE....TRY NOT TO GET A NORTHERN CAR. i wouldn't worry about the recalls. if they haven't been done, you can simply have them done. However, i would want a dealer maintained car. Hopefully the small issues like dash rattles and other annoying things have been taken care of. These engines are good engines and are not sludge motors. But there are plenty of idiots out there that don't change oil. If you take the oil cap off you
can see the intake cam gear. make sure it's clean and sludge free. And JUST LIKE ANY TIME YOU BUY A USED CAR. Make sure the readiness monitors are complete to make sure someone didn't just reset a check engine light.
-about the northern car thing, the water pumps, alternators, wheel bearings, and especially the rear brake calipers do not like corrosion and rust. Down here in the south we get a rude surprise every time a northern car rolls in.

 

are you on a budget? why not buy a car with lower mileage? maybe find a CPO or one with some type of warranty to have a piece of mind

The seller have to do the smog for me right? Because the seller said he did on this year and he doesnt want to do the smog check again for me,so I am kind of scare the car will be having some problem that I don't know

 

CA will require a smog check with your purchase, make the sale dependent on a pass of smog check.
