I will never drive any other brand but a Lexus 👌🏼👌🏼
Hi i want to get a small Japanese automatic hatchback, similar to Ford Fiesta, 5 door. Got a riny budget
👍
Just sayin. I like these eyeglasses better than the super round ones.
I'll keep my FJ. I like cars that go up in value and are easy to fix. My only Toyota. I own 1 Ford a 73 Bronco. Hell the new Broncos are a joke. List goes on but if you don't drive a single car all the time they last forever. 1 tip use oil accumulators on cars not driven daily, cheap insurance.
Scotty probably has 100000 pre-recorded videos. When he dies his new videos will still be released. legend
Yes! 😅😅😅

I hope so!

i love this, im a mechanical engineer and i just bought a 2000 ls400 with 80k miles.
"It's solid. It's heavy. It controls the road". Best Advertisement for this vehicle in my opinion. Lexus take notes.

Anything Lexus is perfection. A masterpiece
I had a 2015 GX love it. Last week got rear ended by a semi truck in Laredo Texas and got pushed into 5 cars. I was not hurt, the GX is very safe!!
Scotty can you do a drive of your 94 celica please! I’d love to see how it drives after those years and mileage. It has generated a lot of interest in the comments sections over the past week. Thanks.
Cmon people get this liked as we all want to see Scotty drive his celica. You know it!
I too would like to see him drive his own Celica!
DIDNT Scotty already moved out ?
@@15farcry I’m sure it does as he’s run the car before when he was in Houston.
Yeah, he should give us a tour of his new town in Tennessee on his ‘94 Celica...
Where my Lexus owners at??
2005 ES 330 owner here!
2007 is350 over here😈
2008 rx 350 here!
2001 Lexus LS 430 218,000 miles
2006 Lexus ES 330 with 215,000 miles. Purrs like a kitten.
Scotty looks at electronics of BMW: "This is a lot of electronic crap that will break. You don't need this!" Scotty looks at electronics of Toyota: "Look at those electronics! This car is a technological marvel!"
difference is most of that Lexus tech will last 20+ years. BMW electronics are real nice until the day your warranty expires.
The Lexus LS600hL is as complex a car as the most expensive BMW...The difference is the Lexus will not break down, that includes its many electronic systems. BMW are JUNK..good for a few years but after that just trash
😂😂😂
Never compare BMW technology reliability to japanese. Bmw are built to sell not to last.
You know Scotty is scrolling through the comments right now, I do the same thing after uploading a video! Hey Scotty! I made a video about a 1992 legacy blower motor and how to replace it. I was surprised that it only took me about 15 minutes and all I had to do was clean it! I hadn't purchased a new one yet and I'm glad I didn't. Thank you for your videos.
Can tow up to 6,500lbs, I wouldn’t want to be hooked up to 8,500lbs in that GX. Great video! An absolute gem of a vehicle.
Scotty’s excitement when he gets a Lexus to review is priceless.
Like a kid in a candy store.
My friend’s mom has a Lexus GX
They’re so cool a very luxurious truck yet it’s a very good 4x4 for heavy duty use
I have a land cruiser with 286,000 miles and i just got home from off roading in mojave desert! It’s a beast I love it. It’s also green over tan 🙌🏼
I got 4 Toyota vehicles. I can’t afford not to buy Toyota.

I bought a 2012 rx350 with 69kmiles 2 months ago. In 2 or 3 yrs ill sell it then get me a 2016 rx350. Only think i dont like of the 2016+ rx350s is that plastic side trims on the side fenders. I hear they fade since its plastic.
@@angelbluerider9588 You've put a lot of thought into this. I've got much to learn.
@@adamsyve you got a lexus rx350 too?
What a nice car the Lexus,looks like brand new.
It has been well looked after .
Lexus is the Rolls Royce of Japanese cars car made for the rest of a person's life.
I couldn't believe it was 9 years old.
Just bought an is250 because of you scotty. God bless you're the man
Hate to tell you, but.... the 250s were very problematic. The 350s were much better.
@@drivedb7 “very problematic” is an exaggeration. Use premium fuel, full synthetic oil and do your oil changes and you won’t have any issue Carbon issues. Will last 100’s of thousands of miles.
grada4ever - Is that why Toyota extended the warranty to 9 years/unlimited mileage on some models and in other cases have had to rebuild the entire cylinder heads?
I like Toyotas, but let’s not pretend like everything they build is faultless. The 4GR’s carbon build-up problems are not new and are well-documented. Owning a vehicle with that engine is at best a big gamble.
Not really a gamble when lexus has already fixed if the issue was present
Vincent Valentine - Sure, they “fixed” it.... by replacing it with the 2.0T. 😂
Sad to say it, but the 4GR was never a very good engine.
Great Review Scotty!! Thinking of picking one up for myself.
Did so much research when looking to get myself a car and found myself upon a lot of scottys videos... I got myself a Lexus ES 350 earlier this year certified used for under 20k total never been happier with the decision I’ve made
I got laid off down at the Chrysler factory because of your videos. I'm now living in a Dodge Caravan down by the river.
Go work for Toyota 👍

It's a Land Cruiser 150/Prado and it's my favorite vehicle.
Thanks to a recent video from Scotty, found the source of the antifreeze odor in my 2007 Civic: inspected & replaced radiator cap. Problem solved. No smell after 1200 miles driven! I asked the dealer to look into it several times...they could not find a `leak`...thank you Scotty!
That car is a gem. I have a 2016 GX and love it.
just picked up a 2015 I’m loving it. Great in narrow city streets surprisingly with how narrow and tall it is. Also great highway cruising and off-road. Zombie apocalypse truck.
Bought an 07 Lexus is250 manual as my first car. I love Lexus!
I got a GX460 3 months ago.. I am loving it so far, its so smooth and its so nice inside.. feels way better than my previous car that had all the bells and whistles.. when it comes to this car its about quality
Great video, nice big rig! I am a huge LExus fan myself
My favorite suv. Hopefully getting one soon!
Just bought a 06 LEXUS GS300 and it’s great, I love it
I just bought a 1996 ES300 a couple of weeks ago as my first car. I love it. I hope to keep it for years
Just bought a 2015 GX460, absolutely love it. Nothing beats a real SUV
At 4:10 Scotty saying "Freezing Cold A/C" Ahhhh with the picture of the Dog
I have Lx470 2001 with 324.000 mils and it works great.
Just got my wife a 2022 GX 460 can’t wait to pick it up! Love you Scotty the realest
Keep up the vids Scotty.
I recently got the 07 Lexus GS350 Awd with only 70k on it and i love it.
Woah crazy low mileage you’ll be driving it for a LONG time
Wow, congratulation.
How much. I wanted a 09 but they where to expensive with to many miles
@@QthAgR8 how much were they asking with how many miles? I’m looking at a 09 gs350 for about 7-7500 with 142k miles.
@@joepowers7297 sane did you ever find one ?
Loved the review, Scotty. Only correction: it is full time 4wd not all wheel drive.
I bought a Lexus because of Scotty. No regrets
I took your advice when I needed to buy a sedan to replace my 16 year old Buick Scotty. I didn’t buy a Lexus but, I did buy a like new 2017 Toyota Avalon. Close enough I say. Thx for the great advice.
Y favorite car off all te
I've wondered for a long time why anyone buys a new vehicle. If you wait a few years, you not only save a ton of money, but you also get to see how well a particular model's style ages, how reliable it is, and whether or not any must-have tech has come along since it was made.
But I hope people DO keep buying new cars so I'll have plenty of 3 - 5 year old cars to choose from when I feel like popping for a "new" ride.
I took scotty’s advice and bought a Lexus is350. Best decision I’ve ever made!
Thanks Scotty
Favorite part is when Scotty checks the freezing/ice cold A/C!
Great video Scotty! I've been looking at a used *Lexus IS 350C.* I wonder if the hardtop convertible has too many moving parts, for a possible failure. My daily driver is a *2000 Honda S2000.* 😎
"THEY'RE NOT GIVING'EM AWAY" - Scotty Kilmer
Rolling Piles of Junk
Exactly! They're not giving Lexuses away.
Endless Money Pit
@@Pharium Especially if you finance the Lexus.
@@ArnoldPranks Mr. Arnold, I wouldn't call Lexuses junk. They're ratings is higher than Mercedes Benz and other premium cars.
I have a 2012 and love it. It's a very solid! Never had any problems
Scotty nailed it on the GX series. I bought the 08 470 and had the timing belt kit done . Getting 17 on the highway with it. It feels great. The GX470's are getting popular for a quality low cost overlanding option. I will stick with Destination AT's from Firestone. I can spend more in payments on a new 4Runner in less than 2 years than I did on this . The GX has NAV, DVD, Bluetooth....all dated but works fine. I consider this itch scratched!
I have a gx460 that I bought last year. I’ve poured ~$20,000 in modifications & have lots more to go 🤣 it’s the best wagon ever! I grew up in a gx470 that ended up having 370,000 miles before my mom sold it to a Cambodian exporter. These vehicles are amazing! The new 80 series
I was looking for a used one. But, here in California they aren’t that cheap. With only 77k miles, 20k dollars is a fantastic deal.
Got a 2015 GS, completely in love
Just bought a 2008 Crown Vic p71, thanks Scotty

Love your content 💪

Car dealer:Witch Lexus model do you want?
Scotty: *Y E S*
I've been buying and driving and selling personal vehicles for 50 years. I've owned many Mercedes Benz and BMW's along the way. I just bought my first used Lexus 2013 LS 460. I was blown away. More solid than any other car I've owned. Quiet like a Benz but just a whole bunch better in the comfy feeling. I'll see if i stay so amazed a year from now.
I bought 2013 IS 250 @14k, 90k miles! Runs like a viper! Took it to 2 Lexus dealerships for general diagnosis, NOTHING faulty seen..👌
Yes initial cost for Lexus is high . But you will get 200k miles at least with no problems. Your children will be driving the lexus you bought and there children will be driving it .
Actually very accurate
No you will most certainly NOT get 200k miles with no problems. Timing belts must be changed every 7 years or 100000 miles. Your remark is that of a cretin.
Children part is so true
@@NeverTalkToCops1 460 has a timing chain, not a timing belt. 200k no problem.
@@dubya275 my 08 gs350 has a timing chain also very well made vehicles!!

Is one better built or longer lasting? Thanks!
I just bought one 4 months ago. Looks and drives like it's New. Amazing SUV, gas mileage sucks, about 12 MPG. That's the only negative I can think of.
Yep. They have poor mpg. They should make the hybrid.
If the gx can get 30 mpg, that would be awesome.
I always liked the Lexus GS. Every generation looks nice. Crazy they finished them off.
I’ve got a 08 gs350 awd love this car bought it for 6k with 90k miles on it
The GS was my favorite I’m so sad. I have two ESs and an LS460. A GS will be my next car

@@derekquinones8614 That's a insanely great deal. I paid $10k for mine and it had 130k, and it was still a pretty good deal.

My 2008 Lexus IS 250 still has its leather intact! At 120k miles as of late 2020, I know it’ll last me much longer. Superb car. I make sure I do the scheduled maintenance on time, and because of that she hasn’t treated me badly.
Lx 570 in the Philippines is about 180-200k dollars so that’s a bargain in our eyes
We have toyota version of it called prado and the crazy thing is we have 2.7 I4 cylinders gas engine option😂 it is slow but man they are indestructible engines. This platform is really unique it can accept 4 cylinders gas/diesel engines and V6 up to V8.
The newer ones have 3.0 I4 diesel. They have more power and torque

I like the newer grills. They look mean lol
Got the same seats as my 2007 is 250
I replaced my mechanical fan with an electric fan. It was worth it. Gas mileage and not having to replace clutches and fans (cracks where it bolts in) every 1- 2 years. Plus it opened up a lot of room in the engine bay.
