Q: Well, I was recommended a old model Lexus SC 300, is that better bet than a nissan 300zx?
I asked a friend who knows a lot about cars, and he recommended that maybe a Lexus SC 300 say from 1990-1992 would be a better bet than the nissan 300zx. I'm not looking for a fast car, just something that has a good body design. Any thoughts on the SC 300 as a first car?

A: it's kinda like apples and oranges.what kind of driving are you going to be doing?what kind of gas mileage are you looking for? lots of questions you have the answers.

Q: My Lexus 300 starts most times but at other times makes a clicking sound and does not start. Starter prob?
When the key is turned all the lights come on including the front ones but then only clicks by turning further.

A: Starter or battery (not enough juice.) Take to AutoZone and they can test it for free.

Q: What parts are needed for a timing belt change on a Lexus RX 300 2001?
I know it will get a timing belt, tensioner and water pump. Should the crank and camshft seals be replaced? Is there anything else that should be replaced as a preventative measure? My Lexus has 106,000 miles on it. I know the belt should have been replaced at 90,000 miles but I did not find that out until it had 105,000 miles on it.

A: It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to replace the crank seal while you have it out and apart. Seals & gaskets should be replaced if you see any type of seapage because the oil could ruin the new belt.

Q: How do you check the check engine light codes in a 2003 IS 300 Lexus?
My check engine light came on and my trac off light is flashing too, I wanted to check the code on the computer before taking it into the shop, can someone please tell me how to do it? Thanks!

A: go to autozone..... it's free.

Q: I have a 1999 lexus 300 when I start the car it does not stay started?
if i keep the gas going it's fine but if i take my foot off the gas it stops... Can anyone tell me if they have the same problem and if so what I can do to fix it.

A: The problem is your Idle air control valve, it is located on the throttle body. It is a fairly common problem with rx300s. The valves get excessive carbon build up and start to stick, not letting the car idle. The repair at a dealer should be less than $500. If your looking for the cheapest repair you can try cleaning the valve by removing your intake tubing and spraying throttle body cleaner into the valve, the valve is by the throttle plate to the right.
