In this video we will start working on a new build. It is a 2012 Lexus IS250 AWD and it is a Texas car. It still has a clear title despite being a total loss, it is rust free and I happen to know a guy with a lot of the parts we will need to fix it. Given all that, it made sense to buy this car. It was hit in the rear and has a bit of unusual damage. Let’s dive into it and see how much we can get done today.

I recently was rear ended badly and had this exact impact on my car the insurance wrote it off as totaled and wrote me a check I absolutely loved that is250 and still do 🙌🏽RIP but I will continue to watch the rebuild series keep it up🦍🔥
Re rust comments: discovered a few months ago that the '22 Sienna has non magnetic, presumably aluminum rear hatch, hood and both sliding doors. The driver/passenger doors are magnetic.
of course they lie… that's how they market their cars like if they are the only superior car in the planet and the rest are stupid… Japanese cars are not great at all… Korea cars are beating their ass off now and US made cars are good as well…
Ironic that you say that AWD is kinda rare here in Texas. I purchased a 22 kia Sorento hybrid AWD S model and I just took what they had…..I was astonished that it had AWD….like why…this is Texas. I just bought another 22 hybrid Honda CR-V touring and the stupid thing has freaking AWD…..I'm like…why!!????
In a way that's minimal damage there could be much more damage in the bottom of the trunk but there's no damage in the middle of the bottom of the trunk so in a sense I would say it's really not that bad
Yes. You can rebuild them. BUT! it won t be the same . It won t have the same level of safety. If you bend a piece of metal 10 times, it will break If you bend it “only” once, it will look fine—— but it won t be the same. I hope it is clear
I owned one from 2006 darker titanium color, my son drives it now, still looks sharp and the engine is strong, just rear leg rooms a bit tight, other than that it's a Lexus product alright 👍
it's what they call a repairable write-off. As long as the chassis isn't cracked it severely twisted, it's alright. handling glass without gloves is plain stupid. texas stupid
Bought the wife a 12 sport awd 250 was hit almost like that with 80k miles already fixed clean title SC for 6k. Sweat ride don't need to worry about anything besides maintenance.
4:56 just say exhaust hangers no need to make up stupid names for car parts. The car was made in Japan so all the bolts on it will be metric, not imperial. Won't be watching again because you are a moron.
Dude, you do have to wear some protection when work with glass. Its not for you, its for your viewers. Someone can go and work on glass with protection and harm themselves. Not everyone is as experienced or careful
What i see on YouTube; Lexus is pretty popular in the US. Here in Holland you see them, but not as much as BMW/Audi/Benz. More German(and lots of French) cars here. But i believe it's a good car, only the design…😂

its like watching grass grow

Yeah, you cannot put anything on the internet that isn't true!!
Kind of not that much body damage on that
Amazing the exhaust pipes get didn't even get touched I wonder if the guy backed into something
In a way that's minimal damage there could be much more damage in the bottom of the trunk but there's no damage in the middle of the bottom of the trunk so in a sense I would say it's really not that bad
If you drive in Texas your windshield is broken
All windshields in Texas are broken
The vehicle was likely parked when it was hit … the bags didn't go off … thats and indicator as well as minor damage to the front
Not my choice of a Lexus. The IS 250 engine had some real issues. The IS 350 – much better.
عمل رائع
Way too much talking. The Russian dude is much better.
"has EVERY option you can think of"
lists three things
"that's pretty much it for these"
Lol
real treat watchin how the pros do it
What an idiot.
Yes. You can rebuild them.
BUT!
it won t be the same . It won t have the same level of safety.

Not good
best compliments

"clear title despite being a total loss" ……..yeah that's not unethical at all
the way you are complaining about the complications with Toyota, seems like you're a Chevy guy. Good luck learning newbie!
What a good do. Looking forward to the next episode of this repair.

Do you physically inspect the vehicles you repair before you buy them?
You can tell it's a Lexus – it's had a good wallop but the reversing lights still work….

handling glass without gloves is plain stupid. texas stupid

Toyota overly complicated lol 😂 🤣 what would that make German cars lol 😂
Maybe Toyota should build like ford so it’s not complicated for u.
