I'm in the market and looking at buying a Gen II 2012 (ish) is350 F Sport. There's a couple that I have my eye on.
I'm returning to Japanese vehicles after an interesting time with European cars. From what I've researched and basic common sense, this vehicle has a good reliability record.
I am open to advice on any 'watch out' items related to this model.
Being a hands on mechanical engineer and having experience with vehicles, I'm familiar with all the usual things to look for (both Engine & Body), but am interested in all the 'specific' items that owners know about or have had history with... eg. "at this RPM feel for this vibration" "Listen for a knock or bump when doing....." "open up or look inside and check to see if this has been disturbed because that means...." etc etc
Thanks in advance to any and all advice - it's much appreciated.
