I know of an RX that has the security plates fitted and has foiled 2 attempts of theft.
If you haven't had them fitted get them fitted and get them checked when you have the car serviced.
Its all about the fat cat CEO, the share holder and making a bigger profit than the previous year.
The who industry IMHO is just using the customer to print money for them. I don't think risk is as big as an issue as they say, thats just an excuse.
Does LBX stand for a "Load of B0110X"? For example, insurance quotes are a LBX. Maybe we could start a trend here, I'm sure Lexus Japan would love that. Might push them in to doing something positive.
So its cheaper to get the breakdown company to come out and charge me membership prices and no labour charges than Lexus to charge me top dollar plus labout.
New battery, guaranteed for 5 years, happy days.
What Lexus owners need to do is get together, use an RX as bait, and when the thieves appear, all jump out and ... (of course for legal purposes, I was going to say make a citizens arrest)
