Got to go sell my screws now My guess is that as Thailand has the full manufacturing eco-system for Toyota, they definitely have OEM supplies of 12V battery, some of which was branded as "Lexus" and sent to the spare parts supply chain. May still be made by the Thai factory of GS Yuasa or Panasonic etc, but can't see any specific branding or product number. This is based on the fact that the battery has only Thai language stickers on top, rather than the usual mix of English and Japanese. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DK3410 4th Gear March 3, 2019 Share March 3, 2019 Saw a Lexus RC-F on the road yesterday. Stuck in traffic with me (otherwise I don't think I could've identified it). Anyone here drive the GS-F? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seoulman Clutched March 7, 2019 Share March 7, 2019 Hi I need a little advice - Is S$160,000 for a roughly 3 year old pre-owned Lexus RX200T (Luxury) with 35,000 mileage a good deal or not? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick quick on SGCARMART indicates that 3 year old RX200t Lux is list price around 160+ to 170+, so sounds reasonable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok but is the car worth buying? I have 1 kid and another on the way. Between this and the new BMW X3, which I should go for assuming that I don't mind paying more for the X3?

U gotta determine ur own criteria and the match the two cars to it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabdat 4th Gear March 8, 2019 Share March 8, 2019 Ok but is the car worth buying? I have 1 kid and another on the way. Between this and the new BMW X3, which I should go for assuming that I don't mind paying more for the X3? If you want power,stiffer ride and German status-go for the X3. RX is a smooth rider that soaks bumps and humps like no other SUV and a very quiet ride too. Size wise,the RX is between X3 and X5( a bigger rear legroom than the X5). Having 2 kids does not determine which car to buy as both are practical enough. It's the ride quality and reliability that you should consider in the long run. Perhaps you should test drive both cars to see/feel which suit your family better.cheers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cook123 Supercharged March 8, 2019 Share March 8, 2019 If u are heavy user n intend to keep car beyond 3 yr, I would advise go for Lexus. The difference in maintenance and repair bills will be very significant after that. Not to mention headaches when certain lights pop up on the panel 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lplater 1st Gear March 8, 2019 Share March 8, 2019 Driving a 08 is250 Fuel consumption rating(shown on meter) suddenly went from 10.3 to 10.6 l/100km to 12 l/100km over the last tank... Not much change in driving route or style... But used a bottle of caltex fuel system cleaner... Shld I be looking into other aspect?? Actual consumption is usually close to 9km/l... Its below 8km/l for last tank I'm thinking of 1 of these renewed IS250 for next year after my car expire, how are the parts doing after its 10 years for your car? have you check injectors or fuel pump for clogging?? or fuel lines leakage??

Rear seat is very important if you have 2 kids... imagine with the baby seat, can the front passenger sit comfortably? How many pax you need to ferry for every weekend run? I can imagine the centre rear is gonna be very uncomfortable. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
