Does car alarm shut off ignition, on a Lexus ES 300?

My son's car needed a jump, he left the lights on his 1995 Lexus 300ES. As I hooked up the cables the alarm went off Because the keys weren't in the ignition, I think. I removed the cables and it stopped, inserted the key, and jumped it again.
When we tried to start the car, everything worked (radio, headlights, etc.) but the ignition would not.
If it is the alarm preventing it from starting, what is the cure?

if it has an alarm hook up the cables so the alarm goes off then deactivate it with the remote. if you dont have the remote then you need to take it to an alarm shop and get a remote programmed for it if they cant they will have to remove the alarm and you will need to get an aftermarket alarm for it but yea it wont start because the alarm was on.

when you try to jump a car with an alarm even if you have the keys in the ignition the alarm will go off its a fail safe so noone can jump your car to hotwire it. but just do as i said jump it and disactivate the alarm with remote and it should turn over with ignition.

is my car a lemon? i bought a 2008 lexus es 350 few months ago and it had engine oil leak?

the dealership has fixed the problem, but what they did was they had took the whole engine apart and then fix the leak, and i told em theres no way i am taking this car back, i spoke to lexus customer service and she said you can see if you are covered under lemon law, what should i do now?

You've full right to be a bit concerned and worried about buying a brand new vehhicle that you'll obviouslly be paying monthly payments for yrs on.
Most people consider when they buy a brand new vehicle that there shouldn't be any problems for several yrs besides the regular schuled maintances.Plus we don't expect to buy brand new vehicles and have to deal with getting things fixed so darn early.
So I agree with you that there is full rights to be concerned about a vehicle that just was made and it's got a oil leak problem that meant a full brake down of the engine to get it even repaired.Personally I would of done the same thing and be thinking is it a god idea to even expect and keep paying payments or should I trade it in.
If you read up about cars and the reasons just why the lemons laws were created and exist today then it becomes a huge eye opener and any wise customer would be taking it in as a concern.
If you take into consideration that basically the newer vehicles now a days are a huge investment and can have so many different types of faults related to adding more and more complexed electronics systems to more smaller or cheaper engine designs you've a lot more expense towards the average vehicle owner of these newer fancy but complexed vehicles.Plus it's a much more of a headache to repair so we need different mechanical tranining programs and electronic equipment and mechanical electronics experts in the auto industry.That just increases their fees and the customers pocket book size, plus increases our headaches.
Some will say that this next thing I mention is a bit off the wall when first thinking about it.Most things that are manufactured on a Mon ,Fri and even Wed can have more chances of being factory defect structen.
In fact studies do show in basic everyday manufacting defects that are involving any type of human involvments in assembling products does actually increase the noted wkly and daily reports of any product defects within assembly line productions go up on Mon's, Wed's and especially Fri's.It further states that people tend to be more hung over from their days off usually wkends and therefore Mon's assembling defects increase ,also on Wed's people are in a different state of mind kind of day dreaming about the coming wkend and therefore again defects increase in assembling work, plus Fri's people are just thinking mostly about going home getting out off work so once again assembly line defects increase.
All in all these studies are involving the western world but they also reflect overhaul world production problems.So really it doesn't matter what part of the world we are talking about here or for what reasons the human assembly line workers have it is fact.But again it mostly opens our eyes and now in fact for many yrs some people actually do look into what day of the wk any big ticketed investment item such as a new vehicle was made before actually deciding to buy it.
Some believe that a happy healthy worker mind is more intended to produce better therefore they thrive on keeping their employees more happy in their work places and even give excercise and personal well being time to their employees.In clinical studies it has indeed shown that these companies or indivuals that use these believes and practise them will all in all produce much more effiently not only in the work place but also in their own personal lives.
Well anyways to me once again I do feel the avgerage customer should take big ticket item investments seriouslly and also be concerned about any vehicle that needs such early major repairs.
To me if you want to find out more about it , then you must ask others who own the same exact vehicle as you do or at least they have the same yr and engine.Plus keep track on the dealerships web site about possible recalls etc, go online and check forums referring to that make of vehicle.
From what I do know of the lemonade aide laws it clearly states that not just one fault most be reported and repaired by the seller but also that if it's constant reoccurances of different things and something they can't seem to repair, then the customer must state that they feel it's a lemon and demand a knew replacement vehicle.
Keep in mind that every vehicle manufacture will have their own set guidelines involving what they decide is reasoming for the customer requesting the vehicle be replaced.Example Ford they don't like to loose any customers therefore they will have a more wanting to please attitude.
I think that customer service rep at Lexus should of already known the lemon laws.Isn't that exactly why they've customer service reps so they can make descions about things like that?Makes you wonder who one's talking to at that office and exactly what controls or power they indeed have to do anything.Also they might of just been passing the buck so to say clearly knowing the lemon law states the vehicle must have a few ongoing issues before law states to replace it free of charge.
To me that say's you need to go over their head talk to either their supervisor or just keep calling them until someone with authority helps you.Plus you need to wait and see what occurrs with the vehicle bec if no more problems then really you've no real leg to stand on against the lemon law.

Hope that helps and best of luck.

Refiance a 1995 Lexus Es. Does anyone know of a bank you will refinance an older car?

Just need to get out of my current lender.

When I purchased my '93 BMW back in 2005, I checked with 2 different banks and credit unions and neither of them financed or refinanced used cars older than 7 years. A 12 year old Lexus is simply not worth enough money for a bank to finance - you could owe thousands on a car that's only worth 2 or 3 thousand.
