  1. Also say where in Oz you are so people can make recommendations on servicing.

    I would see no issues going to an independent for servicing.

    If you Google service on that car you will get a fair indication of prices from associated workshops.

    If there are any safety issues etc Lexus would of contacted the owner(s) previously.

    137,000 is not a high mileage for the majority of cars now days, just sounds a lot as its over 100,000 😄

  2. How old is the new car.

    Sometimes a new part is repainted to the car colour code. After a few years in the sun and atmosphere the car colour can change.

    When a new part is painted it then needs to be colour matched not colour coded. That is a lot harder to do.

    Also if its slightly metalised  or has some sort of flake in it the direction its painted can make it look a different colour.

    Not an easy process.

    Even new cars with plastic bumpers, flares, etc etc can have a "viewing" missmatch nowdays.

    Good luck with the search  😏

  3. Noticed it says "most" cars are in the USA but I wonder where the rest are?

    Excerpt:

    DETROIT (AP) — Toyota’s Lexus luxury brand is recalling about 121,000 cars worldwide because of fuel leaks in the engine that can cause fires.

    The recall covers certain 2006 through 2013 IS350 cars, as well as the 2010 through 2014 IS350C, and the 2007 through 2011 GS350 and GS450h. All have 3.5-liter V6 gasoline engines.

    Toyota says a diaphragm material in the fuel injection system can harden over time and crack, allowing fuel to leak. The company would not say if the problem has caused any fires, crashes or injuries.

    Most of the recalled cars are in the United States.
