Lexus Hire Car Facts in Questions
what is the best way to find a toyota and lexus mechanic to hire? I have spent now over $1,000.00 in adds in newspapers and monster. I seem to get fruit loops that think they can work on cars anybody got any ideas

Just_gone replied: "Toyota or Lexus owner clubs."

mirnita_87 replied: "my dad is a mechanic with 30 years experience ,,in california"

teddy4050 replied: "Check out "Angie's List" or "Craigs List." These type of lists but make sure you check out the Better Business Bureau (BBB) for complaints because anyone can say they're a mechanic."

which organizations do car companies hire for naming new models? such as Vibe, Tucson, Lexus

Nunoyvgvna Awi replied: "their own marketing departments come up with the names. Lexus is not a model but a brand of manufacturer."

What's the Truth Behind Used Luxury Car Dealerships? Is there anything I should know about these guys? Is there a reason (bad or good) that these luxury cars are at a used car dealership rather than a place like Lexus or BMW? I will be sure to get a Carfax report & hire a mechanic to look at the car before I buy from these guys, but I still feel uneasy about buying from them rather than getting a "certified pre-owned"? Am I being a worry wart?

Beeg Juan replied: "Just be careful like anything else in life."

yellow_tofu replied: "go to a dealership and get the certified ones. if you go to joe shmoe there is a reason why his BMW is 5000 cheaper then the dealer. Look on the internet for the bluebook value of the car your looking at then expect the dealers price to reflect it."

loonatic72 replied: "If I were you I would go to a real dealerships and deal with them. Most of these cars that those dealerships have they bought from auctions and have been spruced up to looked good. Your better off paying a little more from the right place and getting some kind of warranty, then going to one of those places and getting screwed over."

mccoyblues replied: "Your worries are justified. Just because they sell luxury cars doesn't mean they sell good cars. Get it inspected, get a history report. Do your homework. Most of these high end dealers buy off lease cars from the auction. Since new cars are so expensive most of these luxury cars are leased and end up at the auction after the lease is up. The market is flooded with overpriced luxury cars so the dealers can't possibly take them all. So a market has risen for used luxury car dealers. Be aware than most of these high end cars incur extremely high repair costs for routine maintenance items like brakes, tires and even oil changes. That's why so many people dump them before they have to start fixing them. Brakes for a BMW 3 series or a Mercedes might run you $800 or more while brakes for a Camry might be $125."

car9rolls replied: "Nope. I sell certified pre owned cars."

Have car sales gone down? I am thinking about going into selling cars. I've applied to the higher end cars like Lexus, BMW, Audi, Infiniti because all of dealerships are all hiring. I am currently a legal secretary and in school for my law degree but would like something that pays a little more while I am in school. Does anyone know how the car sales industry is these days? I know with gas prices, car buying might have gone down a little bit? I see a lot of them advertising for $4,000 sign on bonuses and stuff....how does all that work?

ElGrande replied: "If you make a decent salary as a legal secretary, I'd stay put. You CAN make good money as an auto salesperson, but you will work long hours. With you going to law school, I'm not sure that'll fit your study schedule. You will be reading all the time. Have sales gone down? Not really. SUV and truck sales have obviously gone south, but the makes you are looking at have not seen a drop in sales. Sign-on bonuses usually carry with them some fine print. Some require you to complete a 2-week training, then sell a number of vehicles before you get the bonus. Most dealers won't pay someone $4K just for showing up. They then say "bye-bye" to that $4K. If I were you, I'd take a long, hard, serious look at whether or not car sales is for you. You're entering law school, that alone is going to take up so much of your time. I would find something that gets you through, but also gives you the freedom to work around your school schedule. Car sales won't give you that freedom. In order to be successful as a new salesperson, you need to work long hours. LONG HOURS. Sometimes 9AM to 11PM. It is not an "8-to-5" position. Good luck!"

Ruin replied: "on average sales are down 19%. selling is an art, to do it well requires skill, knowledge and some luck. now is not a good time to learn to sell cars. small cars are selling, SUV's are not.

92-96 Lexus LS400 for a college student w/ job? Ok, I turn 18 on Oct.13. The job I am hired at (haven't started working yet) is walking distance from my house, and my school is about a 10 minute drive from my house (normal traffic). I am fully capable of purchasing a vehicle under $7,500, my sights have been set on either a 92' LS400 $6988 (86k miles) or a 96' LS400 $2999. Though I want a lexus I prefer a car that will last at least 5yrs. without major problems, can drive at least 15 miles a day on $20 dollars worth of gas, and affordable on insurance (I should be paying half of the insurance cost with my parents and I hear taking drivers ed means less on insurance which i've done). Anyone with car/lexus experience please enlighten me on the best decision to make and/or what you would expect to happen if I purchase either ls400s. Brutally honest answers won't bother me if respect full. p.s. you can see what I've seen about these cars at... 1992 lexus ls400 1996 lexus ls400>
Jay601 replied: "With you living as close as you do to work and school, I question why you would even get a car at this point (other than maybe to date). You could continue to save up and get an even nicer car. However, I am glad that you are smart enough to get a used car instead of a new one. All that said, a Lexus is not a bad car to have. They are well built. Getting a sedan will also help you have a lower insurance cost. Have you considered a GS300? It is still a luxury sedan but sporty. The first generation can be had for next to nothing. In addition, they have a Supra engine which means you can get parts and service done at Toyota instead of the Lexus dealership. If you still go with the LS400, go with a bippu look (Google it). Yes, a drivers course will lower your insurance as well as having good grades."

Douglas M replied: "As far as my knowledge,this is a question with various answers,it is really depending on the mind of yourself,providing a great resource here for reference though."

The Raven replied: "The '96 is obviously better than the '92. Not only because its newer, but its nicer and less likely to have problems. You shouldn't expect any major issues, however it depends on how well the car was taken care of. It should last at least another 5 years with little or no problems though. The LS400 was once called "The finest automobile in the world". You should like it. I wouldn't really recommend the GS300 though, it's still a good car but if you can afford the LS why settle for something lower than that."

ding replied: "it depends on the mileage the 96 has..if it has a bit over 100k or under the 96 would be better...but i think the 96 has alot of problems...check the history of that car and see if its worth it...but if it dosnt the only problem you will have is probably the lights...other than that the car should be fine...the 92 is pretty old...the out side looked alright and the engine looks fine...i would feel safer in the 92...and the miles on that car isnt that bad for that car..if you dont mind spending $1000 on fixing your car and you dont care about comfort or anything you just want a car to drive short distances i would get the 96...but y not ask your parents see what they think..."

what car should my husband (newly hired financial broker) buy? I guess i really have two questions: My husband says "image is everything"...and "perception is reality" in his line of work (having people trust him with his money..) He wants to buy an SUV that's impressive...like a Lexus. He's steering away from buying a more "fun" looking car because he wants to gain the trust of his clients. I say, you also don't want your clients to think all of their money is going to your car...or that you're sleezy and greedy. is it really true that you'd trust a stock-broker more, if he had a nicer car?

John M replied: "Get a Hummer. Nice SUV with a good ride."

Solutions replied: "Tell him simply to get a Porsche Cayman. Clients will love him b.c. his driving a Porsche. Reasonably priced also."

kathleen f replied: "I would trust a stock broker more if he appeared to be successful, and that includes the car he drives. i would prefer to see him/her in a Lexus to a hummer"

bianca replied: "if i want to trust somebody with my money i want to see this person to be successful, nice clothes and nice car. his image will tell me if this person earn nice living. Lexus will do. i work with the people and once my costumer ask me what car I'm driving and when i tell him, he said OK, you know what you are doing."

K17 replied: "If he wants to impress, forget SUV's if he likes lexus's try a normal sized lexus or a BMW 5 series. Audi's are nice too."

bt9906 replied: "I call bull. The image/impression that your hubby gives to his clients are only as good as the last stock recommendation he gave to his clients. If he's involved in meeting many of his clients AT HIS CAR, then perhaps that argument is more valid. Best way to achieve what he wants is to get a slightly used luxury sedan or suv (2-3 years). That way he gets and prestige but the wallet doesn't get the sting."

Who builds replica headlight lens sets for late model cars? I want to hire someone to build me a set of glass headlight lens' for a Lexus SC using the plastic OEM versions to copy. The OEM part is total garbage that turns yellow with age and costs about $350 a headlight to replace. New ones start to age in as little as 18 months. I would rather pay even $1,000 ONCE for glass and a permanent fix. I need to find a company that does custom glass work.

John S replied: "I would start with eBay. Find a seller who is selling lenses that they make/commission themselves. Contact them directly and ask them if they could do a custom project for you. I get parts all the time like that."

John C replied: "Go to Auto Zone. they have a solution that you can wipe on the headlight lens and it will make it crystal clear again. I have used it before and it works. I think it was about $18. You will have to use it about once a year to keep them clear."

Thumbellina replied: "too much to read but yes kids who have parents who buy them NEW cars are spoiled. And usually end up in the paper with drunk driving or speeding accidents/dead"

Jennifer replied: "Here's what I plan on doing... When my daughter turns 16 she's going to get a car - probably not for her birthday, maybe a couple months later after she's been driving on her own for awhile. I'm going to give her the car I am driving at the time, whatever it is, and I'm going to buy myself a brand new Mustang GT. If she fails classes AT ALL in high school it will have bearing on whether I give her a car. If she fails a class after she has the car she's going to lose it until she gets her grades are up or she makes up the course in summer school. Not everyone's parents are the same and not everyone's idea of responsibility is the same. I don't know much about you so I can't truely judge if you are responsible but you did fail one class this year - to me that is not responsible. Also I might add - I think it is absolutely idiotic to give a 16 year old a brand new car. My daughter will get my used one and if she wrecks it she better start saving up cause I'm not buying another one for her."

Elizabeth replied: "way too long to read. kids that get cars aren't spoiled, their parents just don't want to have to drive them everywhere!"

MT replied: "My parents bought me a new car when I was 16, another new one when graduated high school, and a new one when I graduated college. I have several close friends, am not conceited, am gainfully employed, regularly shop at Walmart, and so far, have killed no one. For what it's worth, all 3 new cars were American made and not high end. It seems the vast majority of people who have a problem with parents buying kids cars are people who haven't been given cars. I suspect jealousy fuels their opinions more than many would admit."

Baby #1 on 12/10/08 replied: "I didn't read all of that. My parents got me a new Mustang for my 17th birthday, and that awesome gift did not constitute me as spoiled (I couldn't believe it when I saw it). I also didn't end up in the obituaries. In fact, the car got me through college and was in perfect condition when I gave it up in 2005 (seven years after I got it)."

Fred replied: "let me understand this you would like a car because the kids have one and you don't now is that right.well let me see.if you Had a car what would you do with it?would you drank and drive to just because they did or would you wreck you car just be because they did.i hope not you have to understand why your parent's don't let you have a car.for one you have not sh on them you have responsibly for what you do.and you had not given them a good resin to give you a car.you have a lot of thing's to do be for you can get one the way i see it you have to grow up a lot.my son did not get his car in tell he show me that he can be trusted once he did that then i got him a car.now when he goes out he's back on time and he's not late.and he pays for his own gas.and yes he has a job.because he had shown me that he can do what's right .so that made it for him.you can do the same thing if you try.but you have to give up this baby thing you have going on and show your dad that you are growing up and able to take care of a car.i hope that i help you on this matter.your friend fred"

nonya replied: "You need to think about what is best for you and your family. These rich kids are spoiled and the parents dont really care they let the money raise their kids. Your parents are trying to instill values in that if you really want something you have to work for it. I would tell your parents to let you get a part time job. I am very proud of you to stop smoking that is great save up that money and I bet you won't realize how much it was a bad habit you might save up enough to show your parents you are responsible. I would get a tutor for math and English you need to graduate to get a good job. Dont worry about others I was raised poor check to check and I got a job at 14 at a doctors office taking peoples temperature copy documents weighing them and walking them to the doctor. Back than pay was $4 an hour I bought my first car at 14 almost 15 it was $400 and ran great I had it for 3 years and since than I had about 20 cars I love cars as a female raised by a mechanic I took on alot of cars so do what is best for you. Ask your parents to get a job so you can become more responsible. Hope it helps."

cbrownie replied: "No, I don't consider it spoiled if a 16 year old gets a car. Just depends on the car though, if they got like a BMW or something then yeah but if it's something reliable that moves, then no. And "back in the day" LOL well maybe it's not evident to you, but we had cars "back in the day" too; in fact they were around when OUR parents were 16. We were able to have them at 16 too. You crazy kids... But as far as your personal situation, I wouldn't let you have a car either. You've got a bad track record; you have yet to show anyone you're responsible enough to operate yourself, let alone a car. Your grades suck, you abuse drugs and alcohol, you've got "car envy", and are just "shaping up" now that you want a car. Sorry, you're not fooling your parents. The reason they don't want you to get a job is because school is what you should be worrying about, not money for a car. Did I mention your grades suck? Gosh, I was a straight A student all my school life and even then I had to beg to be allowed to have my license. Not a car, MY LICENSE. And once I got that, I was surprised with a new car (nothing fancy) but my dad made it clear that if my grades slip just the tiniest bit, they were selling my mom's car and my new one was going to go belong to her. And my father is not one to make idle threats. I got a B+ on a test and got the car taken away for a month. And my dad made sure that HE was the one to drive me around and ensured that every time he did that he'd embarrass the crap out of me (wearing sweatpants under his shorts, wool socks with his flip flops, gut hanging out from under the bottom of his shirts, talking really loud and saying stupid things, etc.) EDIT: Getting A's didn't ruin anything; it earned (look it up) me a brand new car as soon as I turned 16... and I wasn't even supposed to get my license. So my dad has a penchant for purposefully bad fashion sense when I allowed myself one slip up. At least I still got to keep my car! You know, that car that you don't have. Your situation speaks for itself. Sorry that your parents actually have standards, maybe once you meet them, you will get your car."

kokopoko2000 replied: "No. If the parents have money, they generally want to give their kids things to make them happy. I do know that anyone will not value an item as much if it was given to them. But it's not spoiled behavior."

Should you hire a family member in this situation? Here is a scenario: Father asks son to serve as marketing manager for a franchise that he will be starting. The son does not have any degree. (He was kicked out of a 4 year university for drinking over spring break and never transferred or completed any type of degree some four years later.) The marketing manager doesn't have any staff to supervise but is responsible for an advertising budget, attracting new clientele and using marketing strategies. However, he will receive 2 weeks training, is intelligent, and always has been a gifted salesman with a silver tongue and good looks. However, the son has always worked a series of minimum wage jobs or just above-minimum wage jobs that he acquired through family connections. He sometimes has issues with authority and sometimes has resented his father for telling him to do something and likes to be the center of attention. He doesn't like making major decisions and will defer it to a manager but he likes to have the power to make the decisions. He manages his budget well enough but has made some purchases that weren't required while ignoring the things of substance he NEEDS to buy. He centers on the claim that he "just wants to be happy" and it doesn't matter if he drives a lexus. However, he expresses envy for others that appear to have more than he has; and will bad mouth others when they are not in hearing distance. He is self-admittedly lazy and doesn't take care of his house or keep his car clean. He works 38 hours a week and is stressed and tired at the end of it. He is easily distracted by video games and likes to play them in his down time. However, he is excited about this business venture, is eager to be a part of it, and has indicated that he is willing to use his car (he has an excellent driving record) to be on call and that he understands it can be 80 hours a week initially. He is under the understanding that this business will be passed down to him in time. Will hiring him help him develop the maturity and business sense/professionalism that he seems to be lacking? Is it helpful that he will have a stake in the business? Or in 6 months to a year will he be bored and not towing the line.

HRmom replied: "In my opinion, you are starting him out in the wrong position. I completely understand wanting to help him develop his skills and work ethic, but starting him in a position such as that isn't going to help that happen. He needs to start from the ground and work his way into a position like that. He needs to earn the respect from others. It's good that he's excited about the prospect of the company, but maybe starting him out under someone else in a lower level sales position would be better. Heck, even a mail clerk! One thing to consider, however, is that if you have him directly report to someone else, the parent needs to stay out of it. Let the supervisor in charge handle him the way he should be handled if he acts up. Don't give him everything, make him work for it. Otherwise, he will just feel a sense of entitlement and lack of understanding for the work everyone else does. Good luck!"

car window and locking? I have a Lexus LS 2005 I have just hired someone to tint my windows, while tinting my windows my passenger seat's window rolled down even without the key in the ignition. Im trying to roll it back up and its not coming back up. I called the Lexus service and they said to lock all the doors first. When i used the remote it only locked the back doors leaving the driver and passanger's seats unlocked. It can lock manually however it won't unlock or lock with the remote. Do you know why this is and what I can do to fix this? Also the person who is tinting my windows sprayed water/baby shampoo all over, could it be water damage? oh yeah and is it safe to drive ? THANKYOUUUUUUUUU:) please answer asap

grizzzly19 replied: "yes its safe to drive. The person that tinted your windows probably sprayed way to much solution and could have damaged/shorted the wiring in your door. could have also popped a fuse. your best bet would be to take it to the dealer and get a quote on the repair and see exactly what is wrong"

Richard replied: "If you can remove door liner and use a hair dryer to dry out the window motor, it sounds like it got a little to wet."
