I'm by my phone on weekends, on monday I'll write you an email. I'm going to turbo mine too. Here it's about as rare as in Chile. I have the import/customs papers from when my car entered the country. You at least have a Lexus dealer there.
Now I'm near you as I am in Buenos Aires , but my car is in Bariloche, near Osorno. I'm waiting for some stuff to start my build, pretty excited about it. Hopefully in a month.
Customs in Chile let you buy used parts?

I have been in Buenos Aires and Bariloche many times, both cities are very beautiful specially Bariloche, like a Switzerland villa.

We have a Lexus dealer for 3 year ago but they know nothing about the old models.

About your question we can import used parts, no problem on that.

Bariloche is nice, i went many years ago on a ski trip.
You would never expect a place like that in South America.

Thanks! and...what?
South America has incredible places. From mountains to arid deserts; beautiful valleys and magnificent beaches too.
You should come again

You have my utmost respect here. I was aware that Lexus made it to Chile, but it was very recent. And I recall the only other place in South American with Lexus dealers or at least selling them straight via Toyota was Brazil for the longest time.

Thank you so much for your words, actually Lexus is in Chile for about 3 years ago and the other country is Brasil for about 8 years.

El otro día discutíamos con mi padre porque yo decía que era wey y él guey. El diccionario dice que se escribe de las dos maneras. 619Rider nos puede quitar esa duda

Lexus never came to Argentina as a dealer but from the first Lexus that entered, there is an official Lexus mechanic in Toyota del Pilar to attend and service all the Lexuses here. I had a BMW, which is a brand installed from many years ago, with dealers all over the country and their customer service it´s awful or null.
With the Lexus I´ve always received premium service and all the parts needed, even if they were in Japan.

To bad we Do not have lexus in Tijuana Mex. I heard there was a Lexus dealer in Mexico city but, just rumors thought . Lexus can not be legally imported to my city and, that is sad ina way.
Since Tijuana is 15 min away from the border I drive my car with American California plates of 2012. I been harrassed by cops a couple times since, my car is all blacked out .
I recently started a GT35 Na-t build. I pulled the motor out and, I hope to make it to the end like you did.
