@@shaqthanos4716 I've never really thought of that as a manual mode. That's more just shifting the gears instead of actual mode. By manual mode, I mean something similar to the plus minus style Toyota has or paddle shifters. My 1998 Lexus ES300 has that too.

@@Siknan80 I feel like the closest we've gotten to this are the Type S Acura TL and the TSX variations were never got here in the States. But Toyota made a TRD Camry so Honda can make a Type R Accord

@@eugene8962 absolutely agree! Especially with that rounded design. I just wish they were also available as hardtop coupes for this generation because I'm concerned about leaks developing at the gaps in the future

@ just keep all rubber seals well moistened with silicon spray and it won’t start leaking

@@zubervahora100 Will do Boss! Thanks for the support!

@@BAPEMCM yeah. I lost the original footage for the first car. But there were two cars there that day so I reused the footage. Both were the pre-facelift model

@@rsgglo6362 this is auto auction open to the public. There are some cars that require a dealer license and some that don't require a dealer's license

Ok, and what are the reasons most of these cars end up at auction?

@@rsgglo6362 different reasons. Sometimes insurance, sometimes the bank repossessed the car, or a dealer wants to sell them

WOWW

@@HammerWrench that's great! These cars are tanks!

@@HammerWrench thanks for subscribing! The support really helps out

@@TimBradley-ty5mh sorry to hear that. Another thing that occurred to me after uploading this was that I might have been counting the turns incorrectly or not doing them fast enough. Maybe try doing the initial turn, then count out the total amount of turns you need. See if that works

Worked for me, but I also did try cycling it much faster and I pushed the remote that was not programmed yet first. Then I obviously pushed the lock button buttons twice on each of the two remotes until it gave me a confirmation double click. My parking lights never flashed, I had this other clicking sound

@@Samthemule2003 interesting. The auction tag said this was a 2000. I did a check on Google and the 2000-05 RAV4 had this body style. Not sure why yours is different. Maybe because it was sold during a transitional period to the second gen?

@@AutoRevLife Maybe. It may be the month. But mine has the body and interior and everything from the first generation.

I wasn't too sure about that but thanks for letting me know. But this also is a hard top so I guess that soft top is moot

@@businessboi4life good luck! I always wanted this generation but the cards never lined up for me. Maybe someday

U dont think a 350 is to fast for first car?

@@culpability5957 good question. personally, I don't believe it is. My first car was a 1998 Lexus ES300. It was scary at first but I quickly got used to it. Plus there are kids who drive their parent's Sienna and Highlander around, which both have the same V6 engine but are heavier cars

I'm not very knowledgeable about the ILX. The TSX is more my speed and the TL to a lesser degree. I just thought this car was interesting

I don't remember. This sold at auction a day after I recorded the video

Maybe. But I'm not so sure Rust-Oleum is the way to go. I think higher quality clear coats will do a better job

Same. Not quite a favorite but it is lowkey iconic. The show is great!

It's too bad about the problems this car has though

Genuinely embarrassed I said that! 😅 Guess I just saw the hi low gears and the half of my brain that worked filled in the rest

@@AutoRevLife I thought it was a joke. Awesome car with a lot of life left in it!

@@bigdave260 maybe I should have pretended it was a joke. Whoops!

@@bigdave260 and yeah. These cars are awesome! Especially these beefy V8 engines!

Definitely an awesome SUV! One of my favorites!

I've seen some of these say premium and some say regular. I use regular in mine and haven't had any problems over the past decade

@@AutoRevLife do yours say premium?

@@focusedgarcia it's been a long time since I've done the research so bear with me. I looked through the forums and found people arguing about regular vs premium back and forth. I also know that Toyota uses these engines and some transmissions in both Lexus and Toyota products, but the Toyota products run on regular. There is also an argument that if your car recommends premium in the instructions but doesn't say it requires premium, then you can run on regular. That said, I've been using regular for a decade now without problems. Even though my instructions recommend premium. Hope that helps you out!

@@focusedgarciafor other models like the IS, GS, LS, or SC, it does require premium. It can't take midgrade or regular

2007-11 Camry

@@AutoRevLife where can i find that bumper

@@yogibeargaming21 eBay, AliExpress, Alibaba

@@yogibeargaming21 but you'll also need 2010-11 headlights for perfect fitment

@@AutoRevLifewhat year lexus bumper am i looking for

Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback! I'll remember that for next time. Also, I did include the title fees as part of the registration. I should have said title and registration. Auction fees are also included. I just didn't factor in towing

I'm working on another video like this. Do you have any other suggestions for costs I should consider? I'm trying to be as close as possible and this was my first time

Unfortunately no. You need to do some custom wiring because the 07-09 has a different wiring setup from the 2010-11

@@AutoRevLifehi where can we order this

@@garedablang8228 Amazon or eBay

@@AutoRevLife Any insight you can give for that wiring?

Hi! Glad I could help! I haven't really noticed a significant difference in mpg

It's called Richmond auto auctions

A metallic blue. Color code is 8T5

Thanks ​@AutoRevLife

@@MrHeavy205 any time! 👍

I guess VIN checks don't show if a vehicle was stolen. I couldn't find anything when searching up the vin number

It's possible. It could have also been a bank repossession. I still have the vin number so I might check it later. I'm still confused by the clean condition of the car. I just find it a mystery.

I felt the same until I saw it in person. Now I like the goldish orange better

I seen the gold on the road, love the red they offer and that gold.

Yeah. I was really surprised at how good of a condition this was in. Almost 20 years later too!

I actually wasn't. I didn't know that before. That's the first time I've seen that on a passenger car, but Pontiac was also known for being experimental. Thanks for the info

He got some blood on it 😂

Just added the link to the description

Already done! Check out my Instagram!

From what I gather, different auctions have different rules. The one I go to has a dealer only section and a public that anyone can bid on, including the dealers. Dealer's license is only required for the cars marked as dealer only. To enter you need to have a valid driver's license. Auction fees are dynamic. The fees vary depending on the price of the car. The higher the price, the higher the fees. Hypothetically, a $5000 car could have a $200 fee. But if the bit goes up to $10,000 the fee could become $800. This is just from my experience. You should also check with your local auction what forms of payment that accept and what rules they have because there will be differences between the different auctions.

Also, my local auction accepts cashier's checks, debit cards, and credit cards as payment

Thank you man for the info,I got your back bro I subscribed already.Keep doing these videos it helps a lot man,but if you can don’t set the video to speed in the editing process😅

Hello. Thank you for the correction. I had this marked as a base model and wrongly presumed this was the le. I just fixed the title. Sorry about that 😅

No problem. Didn't want to falsely advertise. And I know people are curious if it works with regular clear coat paint
