This iconic Lexus came
with a Huge secret/problem.
Well it shouldn’t have been that expensive
of a repair, but when you have
a crooked used car dealer
creating more damage just to mask a fairly inexpensive repair.
Things can get a bit out of hand!!
(Cost for original repair would have been only $200….
Watch how the used car dealer managed to destroy a now discontinued part in the process of masking the problem!!)

Follow me along the ups and downs in this journey, where I’ll drive,repair and explore this Legendary 90’s luxury sedan that rocked the automotive industry to its core.
This is still, in my humble opinion,
The BEST $5000 or less, that you can spend on a vehicle.
