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!

Every mechanical engineer I know, has bought a Lexus!
Scotty knows what they know...
i love this, im a mechanical engineer and i just bought a 2000 ls400 with 80k miles.
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!!
"It's solid. It's heavy. It controls the road". Best Advertisement for this vehicle in my opinion. Lexus take notes.
Yep... And don't forget reliable
Anything Lexus is perfection. A masterpiece
Sorry. I cant. My 96' 4runner just wont freakin die !!!!
It wont ever die lol
Wow! That's awesome
You can always use the excuse of newer ones get better gas mileage and more more features.
the tipical toyota owner dilema :D
@@janetd5121 more safety excuse
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...
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.
Lady at my local Lexus dealer has a Lexus SC430 with 700k+ miles.
model? thats really impressive
@@sergiopereira9546 my bad. She has a SC430.
Wow--that's good to hear. I have an es 300 with 220,000 and aiming up. It's still beautiful and people have stuck notes on my windshield wanting to buy it.
@@Elizabeth-yg2mg I have an ES330 with 244,000 miles and still drives like a dream! And my 05 land cruiser now has 286,000 miles on it and I just got home from off roading in mojave desert!
@@805NAVE That sounds fun--you have a highway car and a back road car!
Scotty’s excitement when he gets a Lexus to review is priceless.
Like a kid in a candy store.
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.
My next car is going to be a Lexus.
same tbh
Same here.

Don't tell Uncle Tony
From TEX to TEN
Loving my wife's 2009 RX350... 179,000 miles, and all I've done is brake linings and rotors...
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.
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.
It's a Land Cruiser 150/Prado and it's my favorite vehicle.
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.
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.
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.
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

@@northernneighbour9765 would they hire him though
Hahahahahaaaaa
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 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 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 ?
Bought an 07 Lexus is250 manual as my first car. I love Lexus!
Just bought a 2015 GX460, absolutely love it. Nothing beats a real SUV
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.
I have Lx470 2001 with 324.000 mils and it works great.
I bought a Lexus because of Scotty. No regrets
Car dealer:Witch Lexus model do you want?
Scotty: *Y E S*
I got 4 Toyota vehicles. I can’t afford not to buy Toyota.
Me too, both kids have Rav4s, wife drives a Sienna and my work car is a Camry.... hoping to replace it with a 4Runner.
@@jackwobser8283 I got a trd taco, wife has Sienna. Kids have Corolla S and 4Runner. The Sienna is my favorite

@@mannymotta2174 they must have more money to blow than I do! Lol!
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
I LOOOOOVVVVE MY 2010Gs 350 no problems
@@derekquinones8614 That's a insanely great deal. I paid $10k for mine and it had 130k, and it was still a pretty good deal.
They are just going to make the ES better like a GS. The ES was selling better so they went this rout.
Don't think I've ever seen a man so deserving of the name "Scotty"
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
my 04’ is300 with a manual is BULLET PROOF. never getting rid of it. been keeping up with regular maintenance, costs nothing.
That car can last forver...really.
I miss mine I have a gs300 now plan on aristo swap
my Dad taught me to "drive what you can afford" and " no way I am paying more for a car than I did for my house"
Loop holes you can live in a car you can't drive a house.
@@Sergiblacklist LOL - I love it
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
My 2011 GX460 has 224,000 miles and running awesome
I took scotty’s advice and bought a Lexus is350. Best decision I’ve ever made!
Thanks Scotty
I got lexus is250 f sport
At 4:10 Scotty saying "Freezing Cold A/C" Ahhhh with the picture of the Dog
Maybe if my 2004 Corolla ever explodes
Right lmao. Got one with 289,000mi, It’s Insane.
You mean never?
wow, Tennessee looks just like Houston
Lx 570 in the Philippines is about 180-200k dollars so that’s a bargain in our eyes
Just bought a 06 LEXUS GS300 and it’s great, I love it
If you notice is based on the land cruiser prado
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
We bought a 2017 toyota rav4 cause we need small and comfortable.
I'm looking to buy a 2017 or 2018 Rav4 in the next year or 2. Have you faced any mechanical or electrical issues with the car?
I sold Toyota for 5 years the rav with the newer 2.5 engine are great. Cheap on gas but plenty of room too. Much better looking than they used to be to.
@@limeyosu2000 I really like the 2019 model look, I'm just not sure if the 8 speed transmission is as reliable as the 6 speed.

they are
GREAT STYLING.
I bought 2013 IS 250 @14k, 90k miles! Runs like a viper! Took it to 2 Lexus dealerships for general diagnosis, NOTHING faulty seen..👌
My father bought a brand new GX in 2014, i think it was around $60K before taxes (Canadian dollars). He was going to trade it in for a different car, but his GX only had 50,000KM and they wanted to give him only $30K for it....it was in such a good shape that I ended up taking it from him in exchange for my car (Lexus IS350) because I just didnt want such a great car to go to someone else.....its an absolute pleasure to drive

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 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.
On my second Lexus RX - it's thirteen years old and drives like brand new

The 470 is barely different, just the same vehicle with a few inserts to charge more for.

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
The 2020 Lexus gx460 got me turning my head every time I see them I must have one some day.
Because Lexus is everything Toyota learned with the Cressida and Supra, and applied it to the luxury division.
Best auto maker on earth toyota.king of autos..
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

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!
Ths Lexus looks line new. An advantage of these older ones, is that it doesn't have the big ugly grill that the new ones have
The grilles on the newer Lexus models are hideous
@8PassCharlie
You're right Charlie. Thing is, I'm always right... 😉
Exactly. I’m never trading my 2011 RX350 for a newer one. Those grills are hideous.
I like the newer grills. They look mean lol
Got the same seats as my 2007 is 250
My mom has a 2012 and she loves it. The only problem for her is that she bought it brand new and fully loaded (over $60k) without realizing that when something breaks, it can easily cost over a grand to fix. She broke a mirror last October and paid almost $700 to get it replaced.
I just picked up a 2006 Landcruiser with 99k. Couldn’t be happier!! Love it!
...but Scotty, that thing is in show room condition!
No way this car was parked under the Texas sun for 9 years!
My guess is it was parked in an underground condo parking lot.
That is one gorgeous SUV, and I hate SUVs.
My favorite suv. Hopefully getting one soon!
Scotty sold me on a 2000 GX. I was woefully disappointed with new options and here is a bulletproof v8 4 years old right in the depreciation sweet spot and not some crappy jeep. Granted i drove a 09 grand cherokee for 10 years with the 4.7 which the engine itself was awesome... the rest of the vehicle started to crumble.
In Japan, the Lexus GX is the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado.

Idk I hated that design. The exterior looks good but the interior was a downgrade from the es330.
The es350 2014 and up is actually decent.
Love my 2006 RX330!
Just bought a 2016 Gx460 with 73k miles for $24k. Its almost ridiculous how nice these things are built.
Compare that to a 9 year old fully loaded Durango, Tahoe, etc and it blows them out of the water. Sad to say.
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.* 😎
Cops in Tennessee are going to have to learn, "Oh, that's just Scotty making another video."
I already bought mine after listening to Scotty, 2007 LS 460 L 87,000 km only for $12,950
73k miles on my 2019 Toyota Camry XSE. Bought new June 2019.
Bumper cover slightly pitted, two minor scratches on my leather seats (rideshare 🙄).
Fully functional and going strong.

I have the 2014 Lexus GX460 and when I purchased it I said the same thing to my family. This is a 10 year car.
More like 20 years.
I just put money down on a 2013 GX460. 101k miles, and its clean. Cant wait until the paperwork is done and we can pick it up. Going from our 2011 town and country to the GX. I dont think we will regret the trade!! Paid $25,800.
4:20 yeah it is quiet, except for the guy driving it.
I gonna buy one now.......opps....too late....price just double because of this endorsement....lol!!!!
Scotty you need to correct the tow rating on the GX it's 6500 lbs not 8500 ? I have a 2011 with 130,000 miles and all I have done in 4 years is regular maintenance at the dealer.
Favorite part is when Scotty checks the freezing/ice cold A/C!
