Your thoughts please? 2011 Lexus RX350 base. 80k miles. If I keep it I will likely get it fixed but are these repair quotes reasonable? I could go to my indy shop though and get another quote.
She said the bushings could have been damaged by salt on the road. I expect them to give me even less now as a trade in. Such is life.
Your thoughts are always appreciated.
Have a great Xmas everybody,
Cheers, Guy.

Must be your climate as my 2011 RX 350 with 120K has no issues with the control arm bushings, and if they were bad, I would replace the bushing, not the whole arm. The roads in my county suck. I would have someone else look at the bushings to see if they are bad. Does the steering have slop?
Trade in value at the Lexus dealer in Dallas was $8,500 USD in 2023 when the car had 99K miles. People, private sale, are going to be weary of these motors because of, what I have heard is, piston slap. They knock. They all did from early on. Not an issue to me.
