regular stuff is not much expensive its almost same as other toyota and lexus like in most cars the front end things are expensive so be careful and cheers

no comprehensive test take it to a workshop and let them test it nicely....

any Ls from after 2k is nice the Ls 460 is a wonderful piece of art it has almost all the amenities everything is rock solid very well built dual a/c like in big suv's ,rear power seats ,very quiet car 8 gears so highway consumption is low ,radar cruise,lane keep assist and many more goodies just be careful just try not to buy anybody else's piece of shit if you do that then its your mistake not the cars try to get a well maintained one then you will really be happy i have heard very rare ones come with supercharger installed from company i have seen ls430 with supercharger the only bad thing in these cars is its abs that goes bad in few years and you have to change the accumulator and or the abs assy itself which is gonna cost a handsome amount of around 4.5 to 7k i have seen people drive it like that with the abs light on have also seen unsuspecting people buying it with the abs light disabled so they really did not know that there was a problem with it either way its a risk you should not be taking other than that the parts are available for it in new as well as the used market is saturated with it

you can never fully learn from watching until unless its you in that shoe some wise guy said practice makes perfect

prado and avalon also suffer from those issues but you can always get them covered or removed totally and fix a better leather on it...

its here in the listing along with the number i can whatapp you the location

If the apocalypse has happened and it's the only 2 cars in the world then you should go with Merc Or I really favor other cars

That is right Barry but end of the day you have loved ones to take care of. right way or the highway ain't gonna do that it's better to show them the way of what can be done and let them call the shots that way I still go home with bread and butter in hand.

till now had not had the chance to play around such scenarios but 95% who had such problems i had cleared the catalyst converter out and or tossed the sensor itself only with exception with few who understood and wanted their car as original as possible and were ready to pay the price of used or a new one too....

i heard something about o2 emulators that you have to splice it there and funky things stop but its something i heard not tried as of till now

pumpis the problem get it changed should sort out this

nothing bad happens if you are throttle happy unless if you are in the middle of the desert....☺️

@Brijesh Kumar its not that all the 2nd hand engine are lottery but the car you have is not much used in the japan market thus cant get a japanese used part for it the kia and hyundai is usually imported from the singapore malaysia and american market and its really tough to assess the damage without the tear down you will have to open up the engine to assess the damage then only you could get the right cost of the fix unless you giving it out on contract then its will only be a fixed price whatever behind that will be bared by the business but you shouldn't be going that route

just keep your engine oil level in check so not to further the matter already at hand and yes you can drive it but if its smoking really bad then you might get a fine from the authorities....

kia hyundai are like that a neighbor of mine had got a optima in the first year its head had issues i recommended him to bring it in and we send the head to turning workshop and it will be back on road and they were gonna end the warranty if it was repaired outside anyway he went ahead with warranty repair in which he had to pay a percentage but eventually payed 28k for a stupid head imported from main company and waited for 2 plus months to finish it

is it 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder one...? do you have any check engine light on..? along with what @stig asked and rush hour driving means you coming all the way in mostly 1st or 2nd gear so high consumption is normal

if its that way then you have two options one is to open up the engine and see where the problem lies and at what severity in the head or the block or simply the rings just sat down but in either case you will have to get the head worked on again and put in new vale seals the 2nd option is to toss that engine out then put in another one and cross your fingers that you don't be on the same path after 2 to 6 months

its winter time morning white smoke is common in many cars.... if the condition persist through out the day then you need further diagnosis

less then 62k and engine gasket and timing belt change sounds like something funny is going on....

it seems a aftermarket on wont last a good tug or 2....

can you trace where that pipe is going the 2 fat ones seem for the heater core... and also check the radiator level if its dropping then you have a leak or else its nothing to worry about...

take it to any exhaust guy he will cut it open and remove the insides then wield it back up without any issues

not all cars go cucu if the catalytic converter is removed the plus side on some cars is they gain bit acceleration because of the freeflow exhaust. but on some cars there is a marriage hall on the instrument cluster and various systems just shut and not work. the passing tests are not so strong here as they are in california so don't worry it will pass without any issues have taken many customers cars to passing with issues like that...

it's a dual cardan like a cv joint but on the shaft have not seen them in aftermarket here as well

if only road then google maps is also good but you need to update every 30 days
