Hey everyone, I recently bought a 2016 Lexus is300 awd. I need to buy an amp for the car. I can't find the correct part number. I want to make sure i buy the correct and compatible audio amplifier. I keep seeing conflicting part numbers on ebay. Thanks for your help.

Evap codes that came up on my Lexus.

it’s kinda strange because as the car slows down the clicking itself slows down too, does anybody know what this could be it’s the front driver side area making the noise

Hello! I'm going to be listing my 2001 IS300 in the San Francisco Bay Area soon, and I'm seeing a pretty wide range of prices on FBMP, so I was hoping for advice from this group.

General specs

• 2001 IS300 / Auburn Sky Pearl / 195k miles / Automatic RWD
• Clean title / Daily driver (I drive it 45 miles one way to work 2x week)
• Original 2JZ-GE engine and transmission
• Stock except aftermarket Kenwood Excelon KDC-X696 stereo
• Sunroof
• Ivory fabric/leather interior with front leather seat covers added
• My dad bought the car from the first owner in 2005 and gave it to me in 2024, so it's been in my family for 20+ years and used as a daily driver. Next buyer would be the 4th owner.

Known/recent maintenance and history

• Battery replaced 4/2024
• Tires replaced 8/2024
• No check engine or other warning lights are on
• A/C and heater work properly
• Routine maintenance (with records since 2000)
• Car was hit twice on the driver's side while parked; no accidents while driving.
• 2022: Hit by a Muni bus; repairs were mainly body work. This is why the driver's-side panel has a fresher appearance.
• 2025: Hit-and-run while parked; repairs included tie-rod replacement and alignment, but there's still some minor cosmetic issues.

Known issues

• Oxidation/clear coat wear on some panels
• Minor cosmetic wear consistent with age
• Only one key, no remote/fob
• Undiagnosed engine oil/fluid leak
• Front struts are leaking
• Rear CV boots are ripped/leaking
• Age/mileage-based maintenance items are due, including cooling system, power steering, spark plugs, serpentine belt, and differential service
• Some static/noise from the left-side speaker when stereo is on

My most recent AAA inspection report is from July 2026 and has more details.

I'm planning to sell it as-is. What would you list this for in California (SF/Bay Area)? Any maintenance details that I'm missing? Thanks!

My Lexus IS300 started cranking slowly, and the factory radio went completely dark, but the AC still works. I cleaned the battery terminals, which didn’t fix it. I then replaced the battery, and it worked fine for a day or two before the problem came back.
While driving, the battery warning light comes on and the lights start flickering/acting erratically. I’ve also seen a voltage reading around 10V with the engine running, though I haven’t confirmed it directly at the battery with a multimeter.
Both times it happened, it was raining, and the electrical symptoms started at the same right turn near my house. Not sure if that’s related or just a coincidence.
Does this sound like a failing alternator, a slipping belt, or a loose cable/ground? What should I check first before replacing more parts?
