"A trustworthy and fun to drive car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Water pump at ~150k.

Alternator ~150k.

Cracked radiator in 1999 (mileage unknown)

Front seat side panel wore badly - was replaced in ~1999.

General comments?

We've had this car a long time, so it is hard to remember all maintenance repairs many of which are expected (such as the alternator dying so late in life).

It is a 5-speed which is wonderful, but not the typical.

For the most part, it has required few major repairs.

Lexus dealership work is incredibly expensive.

The dealerships are great -- some even have internet access and other nice services as well as good repair.

Good review.

Some things you can't fault the car.

Water pump should be replaced on schedule @ 120,000 miles with the second timing belt replacement.

Radiators don't normally fail if you change the coolant/thermostat/Pressure caps on schedule.
