Hello,



I'd like to that everyone who took the time to answer my
questions. I waited a few days to make sure that there wasn't going to be
any additional posts.

A quick follow-up. These are what I found to be the most common and or
expensive repairs.



AC Controller LCD leaking or not working



Air ride suspension



Instrument cluster circuit board failure



Power steering pump can fail causing the alternator to also fail because of
where it's located, directly above the alternator.



Starter failure. This can be an expensive fix because it's in a difficult
location to easily remove and replace. Is hard to access and is located in
between the cylinder banks (thanks Ray-O.)



None of these failures would keep me from buying an older low mileage Lexus
except for one. I definitely would not buy a car that had an air ride
suspension because of know problems and because they are expensive to
maintain.



I found some very interesting posts about the Instrument cluster gauges and
know problems and fixes. I will share what I found out in a new post soon.



Thanks again everyone!



Jeb

Your welcome. This post is going to take a while to gather all of the
information but you may be surprised at the outcome.
