 This auction is for a 1992 Lexus ES300 Base Sedan 4-Door 3.0L.  I purcashed this car in October of 2009 from a friend and used it daily for my drive to work and back which is about 40 miles one way.  I've always had to let the car warm up for 2-3 minutes before driving off otherwise it would be a little sluggish.  The transmission has always had a rough shift but then about 9 months ago the car stopped shifting into first gear.  I still drove the car for another month or so until the power steering hose developed a leak.  The car has been sitting in my driveway since then which is 7-8 months. The car has a dent behind the front wheel on both sides of the car.

The car still cranks and idles fine as I just walked outside to crank it to get the mileage from the car.  The A/C has always worked great.There is a little smoke from the engine where oil has leaked onto it maybe from a gasket that needs to be replaced.  This of course is a 1992 model so several things do not work and I'll try to list them here:

  • Drivers side switch for windows / lock does not work
  • The sun roof motor doesn't work
  • The passenger side window motor doesn't work
  • Radio no longer works
  • Seats have cracked over the years.  I have seat covers over the front seats

I think that is everything about the car.  I'm going to look over the car again this weekend and post anything else I can think of.  I may also do a video of the car and crank the car on video to show the idling and engine while it is running.

I have the title in hand.

This Lexus hybrid will paint your self-portrait while you drive

Fri, 25 Oct 2013

To encourage better driving habits, some hybrids use leaves or tree graphics to portray how efficient or inefficiently a driver is, but Lexus has come up with a more unique method of relaying this information. For its Art Is Motion campaign, Lexus has equipped a Lexus IS300h with special software that enables the car to paint a portrait of the driver by combining the skills of generative artist Sergio Albiac with specific inputs from the driver.
A regular photograph is uploaded into the system, but the portrait will vary depending on how the car is driven. Using vehicle speed, engine speed and how often the hybrid system is used, the driver "paints" a self-portrait via the software that has cloned Albaic's creative process, which then shows up on the car's center display screen. If the driver is more cautious and maximizes electric driving, the image will be clear (as shown above), but if the driver accelerates heavily, the picture becomes more abstract. Similarly, slower speeds result in "colder" colors while higher speeds use "virulent" colors - perhaps signifying this type of driving isn't healthy for the environment.
For now, Lexus has only created one Art Is Motion IS300h, and it plans to auction off this car in the future. Lexus released three videos, which are all posted below, to show off this car, but there is no additional information yet about the auction.

Lexus LS spied wearing googly-eyed mask [UPDATE]

Tue, May 17 2016

UPDATE: Judging by this mule's dash-to-axle ratio, we think it's probably an LS sedan, not an ES as previously identified. The text below has been updated. Wow. Take a good look at those headlights! As you can see from the images in the gallery above, Lexus is hard at work on the next generation of its luxurious LS sedan. The massive appendages affixed to the front of this mule make us wonder what's going on behind those fake headlights – we'd expect some fancy LED units on the production model. Ditto for the rear, where those equally tacked-on taillights will be replaced with a fancier set with upward-sweeping light bars. Getting past the crazy eyeballs, it seems that Lexus will continue refining its current styling language with the next LS. There's sure to be a pinched Spindle grille, and a long wheelbase ought to offer plenty of space for four adult-size occupants. Whereas the IS and larger GS carry the brand's sportier aspirations, going up against the likes of BMW and Mercedes-Benz, the LS will continue to be aimed at a more relaxed luxury buyer. Interestingly, our spy shooters were quick to point out that Lexus brought along 5 Series and 7 Series sedans to compare with its next LS. In any case, we wouldn't expect any significant changes to excite the enthusiast crowd. Related Video:
