I just read about Mike T's B200 and his updating to a new Mercedes. So it reminded me about the Lexus I bought back in 2018.
Well that baby has only required regular maintaince and repairs that I have being able to do by myself.
However about a month ago I got a scare. At highway speeds it was ''jerky'' and my first thought was a slipping transmission.
That would be an expensive repair. Luckily the CEL came on with a 308 code - misfire #8 cylinder. That required an ignition coil.
I didn't know the age of the sparkplugs so they were replaced. Parts were less than $300 and I did the work.
The Lexus has now clocked over 388,000kms and continues to be super reliable. She's only used for pleasure and when we need to haul more than 2 people.
Continues to be an absolute pleasure to drive!
Back in 2018 I said, ''I had lunch with my daughter and her boyfriend and got to visit his parents. Looks like the start of a long relationship.''
Well that was right on - they are now married, have a 2 year old, are expecting in April, and are moving to London from Vancouver in May - busy times!!
