From: so cal

13,400 miles:

-software upgrade (1)
-NO rattles
-NO squeeks
-NO leaks
-NO windshield issues
-NO stumble (CAI and Magnaflow cured this)

I think I purchased one that was NOT built on a Monday! Tight as a drum...

Most of us are not crying in our beer. We love the car, and the fact that many find their way back to the dealer for problems that don't get you stuck is part of the charm.

But it is 2004 last I looked. My guess is you have a Wolsley Hornet or a Riley Elf in addition to a Lexus.
