I agree 90K is a bit much. 106K for the track edition doesn’t make sense, I would spend that money on a new LC500. RFC is the last of the true F cars from Lexus.

More like above 70K seeing used 2023s at that price.

Experienced same BS at my local dealership. Dealer add-ons are priced in. Won’t even work with me for custom build configuration with a base RCF that is on the factory floor. I’m going to wait later this year or early next year to try again. There should be a cut in interest rates and I’m saving to put more money down to have a lower monthly payment.

@@orlandojacinto1 I also asked if I could special order and they told me that all allocations for all dealerships are done for this year and that this is the last year of the RC-F. Sounds like BS to me, but I don't think anybody knows right now if they will continue with a 2025 MY. Lexus did make changes to the RC-F for the 2023 MY so I would think they would carry over for at least another year.

@4ft3rburn3r 2025 will probably be the last production run. Lexus is going all in with their V6 twin turbo engine.

Definitely.💯

I still like my QX70 after all the costly repairs. Overall a good car with a proven V6.

I agree. I would go with an RCF over an M4 every time. Reliability, reliability, and reliability.

@@orlandojacinto1 i have owned several bmws and an rc-350 f-sport and now a lexus rcf. i traded in an m4 for my current rcf and am very happy!

I know didn’t mentioned it but will in a future IS350 video.

Keeping my options open looking at other cars considering a Supra.

I plan to wait towards the end of the year like you mentioned. I hope I get lucky again the same way, I did with the 2016 RCF. Thanks!

😂 definitely an awesome V8!

Had the valve body replaced a year ago. Keeping mine.

Haha. I love mine too 😂. Just a thumb nail for the video. Same here wish Infiniti continued to make them. UPDATE: Per an Infiniti salesperson I spoke to a few weeks ago, Infiniti will be making the QX65 a sleeker variant of the QX55.

Thanks for watching my RCF videos. I like the refresh look but holding off for now b/c dealers I called will not lower sticker price and interest rates on used are too high. Keeping what I have til the market settles. Good luck hope you can get a good deal on one.

Nice the ES is definitely reliable many owners keep them long term. The used car market should be settled in 4 years and the 2021 IS350’s will be at the 20K price range. I can’t say enough good things about the IS. 👍

@@orlandojacinto1 i’m the 2nd owner of my 2002 ES300. it now has 182k miles and due for its 2nd timing belt/water pump replacement. its as solid and quiet as new. amazing reliability im counting the days down until i get into a IS350 RWD FSPORT. Absolute stunning exterior.

@stephendibari5010 Lexus reliability at its finest! It will be worth the wait, it amazes me how smooth a ride the IS can be.

Radiator leak all good now after warranty replacement.

Better handling definitely. BBS wheels with the right tires will complement LSD and active suspension.

Thanks bro! I miss owning an RCF will probably wait a bit longer since a used 2023 with premium package is more than what I want to spend.

@@orlandojacinto1 Looking forward to the updates regarding your next RCF. Cheers

@2ZZGE100 Thanks!

Hey thanks for your comment! I do regret getting out of my RCF but it was the right decision at the time. I would like to get into another one it will take sometime to get the right deal.

Definitely! Trying to figure out how to pay for it, lol! Trade or go with a Supra? 🤔

Right now, not financially practical due to interest rates and the out the door price dealers offered. Probably going to keep the cars I have longer until rates go down. How you liking the IS500?…It’s a great car!

@@orlandojacinto1 Bumper Sagging is an issue, I wish I leased my IS 500 so that I could trade it for no loss on a brand new RC F instead. IS 500 is far more practical though but its not a real F. If I have the chance I would get the RC F over IS 500, if they fix the sagging on 2025, I will trade mine for another IS 500 over RC F. Will see.

Good to know about the IS500 bumper sagging issue however I would consider getting one because of the V8. I really want the RCF but can wait a bit longer for rates to go down.

When I bought the used 2016 RFC the car market in 2020 & 2021, was a buyers market. Now the car market seems tempered a bit. It’s going to take some time and patience to find the right used RFC. Option 2 is to buy a new 2024 base model.

Kia has some very good cars, but I prefer Toyota and Nissan. I take my cars for some maintenance only when I don’t have time. I help manage/engineer corporate data centers it can be very time consuming. This video was made in good fun lol!

Yes lol! It took me a few minutes to realize it is wrap. Something didn’t look right about the paint, no RCF is painted stock in eminent white pearl it’s not an exterior paint option. Finding a used 2023 RCF in Ultra White or Caviar with the options I mentioned for 70K is going to take patience and some luck.

@@orlandojacinto1 i have been looking as well. weird that the fuji racing special editions come up for sale more than the regular cars. you may have to wait for one to come off lease as the pickings are slim!

Yeah I rather buy a base RFC and do some mods.

I wouldn’t buy it too costly to make it legal to drive. It was previously declared a total loss. Back in the day, I wanted to buy a salvage G35 coupe did my research it wasn’t worth it to deal with the headaches.

I was told Infiniti Goodwill applies to a “repeat” customers. I’ve been buying/leasing cars from the local Infiniti dealership for years. However, it can be done with on case-by-case depending on the nature of the problem and if the dealership submits a goodwill request to Infiniti or the regional representative.

@@orlandojacinto1 Thank you for taking your time to respond my question and keep up the good work,hopefully the qx70 I am going to pick up this week will be trouble free for long time,qx70 is a very rare and special vehicle.

@chenwilliam5036 Thanks Chen! Good-luck with your QX70 it’s definitely a special vehicle.

@@orlandojacinto1 Thank you Orlando.

😂 I did the same thing constantly going to the garage to take a look. My only regret is not getting the panoramic view cameras and no memory package. Congratulations!

Yeah interest rates are high. I want to test drive the new GX550 before deciding.

Ok

I’m sure there’s a how to video available.

No but I’m going to find the proper tools to do it myself when it does break.

Not many left.

@@orlandojacinto1 Now you have me thinking about getting one as well, despite the gas mileage!!

It’s a nice SUV. I asked my Lexus dealership to locate one in Nebula Gray Pearl maybe do a dealer trade. Seems unlikely I can get one because of markup.

When I test drove it was very smooth wasn’t not tippy at all when taking corners. 21 mpg that’s really good.

Nice congrats! No GX460s left at my local dealership, they’re waiting for the first allocation of GX550s to arrive all have been sold.

I ordered 550 and canceled it. The overtrail is marked up 20k. 😮

@leslie4950 😮What part of the country? There is waiting list of 100 people at my local Lexus dealership, everyone put 2K down as a security deposit.

Happy this video helps. I recommend watching my other QX70 videos. It has a 7-speed automatic transmission.

I had to get a tow hook ordered.

Nice! I surprised how quiet the engine is at idle. Wish they would start making the Q60 again.

Thanks I’m glad you enjoyed the videos. The 2nd gen FX overall is a good car. I’m surprised I experienced all these issues, I think mine was 1 of 500 that came off the production line that got some bad parts. Hard to say what to look for potential issues that may come up? Check online for FX37 and QX70 issues, I was surprised about some issues that people posted similar to mine.

The IS350 is one best cars I’ve ever owned definitely keeping it long term. Smooth and reliable. Just the right amount of tech for the price point.

Nice congrats! Glad my video helped. My QX70 is still running great even with recent the issues just keep up with regular scheduled maintenance you’ll have years of worry free driving.

Thanks for watching

Thanks, I’m glad you liked the video. Congratulations on your new GX460! Same here not a fan of the V6 turbo, I prefer the V8.

Already bought one.

It is unfortunate Infiniti discontinued the QX70. They made the decision to go electric not a smart move imo. As far as, my QX70 I took care of it kept up with maintenance. Regardless of the issues I still like it. Glad yours still in mint condition.

Yeah some dealers suck but not all.

Ok I will make a video.

It least it works. 👍

I’m not sure. @noahplays3698 just had his transmission rebuilt, coolant leaked into his transmission. This has me worried because the repairs I had done were out of warranty. I only paid for labor cost not parts. I had the transmission valve body replaced but the transmission is fine.
