As everyone else has said, the car is 30 years old, but.. Toyota's "remanufactured" parts are probably the best out there, all that is old/used is the casing. Everything else is replaced with new parts, this is done by the orignal parts supplier to Toyota. That's the awesome part about Toyota's reman parts, they really are new! And.. tested before shipping out. Unlike new parts that only random samples are taken for quality control. It's a much better part, even if you think it's "used" it's not.I’m doing a starter job on my Lexus, and did the right thing and bought a starter from the Lexus dealership. Well it’s got a big fat remanufactured sticker on it.. my car is a 1994 ls400. Why the hell is a dealership selling remanufactured parts when I expect new parts? Is it just the case that all starters for older cars are just remanufactured? Can I trust this part to be reliable? This is a huge job and is expensive as hell. I paid a lot of money for this part
It may be remanufactured by Denso. Be glad it's not Cardone.
It's laughable that you think an automaker will continue making new parts for an almost 30 year old car....Well it’s got a big fat remanufactured sticker on it.. my car is a 1994 ls400.
And they would, of course, if any current Lexus vehicles still used that starter. But all the parts interchange data I can see says it was last used in 1995.... Ancient history now.It's laughable that you think an automaker will continue making new parts for an almost 30 year old car....
Yeah, sadly I think you have to make a point at time of purchase that you want new, not remanufactured. It shouldn't be that way though.Most starters and alternators are reman
Gotta pull the intake manifold, front timing belt covers, coolant bridge bs, ecu wiring harness, all the injectors, and the passenger side cat
Welcome to reality. You’ve got a 30 year old car. 30…year…old.I’m doing a starter job on my Lexus, and did the right thing and bought a starter from the Lexus dealership. Well it’s got a big fat remanufactured sticker on it.. my car is a 1994 ls400. Why the hell is a dealership selling remanufactured parts when I expect new parts?

That's probably more of a V8 thing than a Lexus thing.Just to change a starter???
Thank you Jesus I will never own a lexus.
Denso reman only inspect and replace nothing that is still arguably serviceable inc bearings. Bosch on the other hand replaces a lot more.Good to see so many people straightening out this misconception with remanufactured parts, specifically OEM remans. When a company like Denso or Bosch remanufacturer a starter or alternator, because ALL of the bits aren't new, they can't call it new. What's left of the "old" part ? Like a couple people have said - the outer shell/casting. The patterns (mold) that made those break, wear out, etc and after some point, no one is going to make a new pattern. Now, how much of the internal bits get replaced ? That varies depending on the manufacturer. Some say everything gets replaced, others say parts are "inspected" and if they meet specs, they're re-used.
Bosch..Remanufactured DENSO alternators go through a grueling process: Stators and rectifiers are tested to 300 volts, while rotors are submitted to 600 volts, all to ensure reliable performance. Rotor slip rings are buffed to an 8 micron surface finish, with run out limited to 20 microns, minimizing brush wear and abrasion. Bearings are validated to OE standards and loaded with premium OE-standard lubricants.
Bosch Remanufactured Alternators have more new parts and are performance tested to ensure longer, more reliable operation with maximum performance.
