This listing is for a 2001 Lexus ES300 LX Mechanic Investment.

This car is being listed for a a family member &  would be a great opportunity for someone with mechanic experience get this car back on the road.

Details about the car. Its a 2001 Lexus ES300 Premium Package. Leather seats, Wood trim, Power everything, Alloy wheels, Sun roof. Car is original owner always serviced By Lexus dealer with paperwork, woman owned & driven. Had new tires installed 100 miles ago & new motor mounts last service. Body & paint are in great condition, Interior very clean everything works, AC cold. 3.0 Liter V-6 2 tone Metalic Charcoal & Light silver.

About the motor. Their son was asked to go to store & went thru a water puddle on his way home when we were having heavy rain a couple months ago & the car died. Father brought it to service tech & he advised getting a new engine. He wanted a second opinion & had it brought to me. All plugs were removed WD40 was sprayed in the cylinders. It would turn over 1 cycle then stop & Starter would click. Put a wrench on the crank bolt got it to turn with a lot of effort then it would go free. Im guessing it may have jumped time & a valve might have got stuck. He didn't want the premium on insurance to go up or invest in the time or labor to go into motor or replace it. I found motors for $800 to 1200 depending on mileage same engine as Toyota Avalon. The car is worth more then asking price in parts alone considering its so clean & a waste to part out. Can pull the head to see what the problem is & may be able to replace a valve or invest in another motor. But it is not seized up & I didn't find any evidences of water in the air box.

If you need more information or have any questions feel free to contact me.

Car is to picked up only no delivery.

Lexus talks LFA successor

Sat, 09 Aug 2014

Did you just miss out on purchasing one of the 500 Lexus LFA supercars built between 2010 and 2012? "No big deal," you're probably thinking, "I'll just wait until the next time Lexus builds a supercar." Well, we're afraid that you'll be waiting quite a long time. And by long time, we mean about 30 years.
That's according to a report from Bloomberg, which indicates that yes, Lexus is looking at a follow-up to the V10-powered, carbon-fiber-bodied LFA.
"Akio [Toyoda] believes that every generation deserves to have a car like an LFA, so we're building an LFA for the generation we have today," Lexus Executive Vice President Mark Templin told Bloomberg. "At some point, there may be another special car for another generation."

Genesis cars win accolades, offer value — so why are sales so bad?

Tue, Jul 31 2018

My high-school buddy Brent Cormier was so smitten with the Genesis G80 when he saw it at an event I hosted at SXSW in 2016 he bought a used 2013 Hyundai Genesis a short time later and fell in love with the car. "It surpasses my every expectation," said Cormier, a self-described "renaissance man" who owns and runs a real estate agency with his wife Laura, is a food service executive chef and part owner of Austin-based Thin the Herd Guitars. "I was locked into Mercedes and Audi for 10 years," he added. "And felt trapped in an endless pit of maintenance costs." After owning the Genesis over the past two years — including using it as an Uber and Lyft driver to earn extra cash — Cormier learned what some frugal luxury sedan buyers and a handful of car reviewers have discovered: Genesis offers great bang for the buck compared to other premium brands and can compete with the best in terms of performance, features and comfort. Hyundai's luxury brand also earned a prominent third-party endorsement last week when for the first time Genesis topped J.D. Power's 2018 APEAL study, surpassing German luxury-performance icon Porsche. The APEAL study (which stands for Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout) "measures owners' emotional attachment and level of excitement across 77 attributes," ranging from performance to comfort, and asks nearly 68,000 owners of new 2018 models to score vehicles on a 1,000-point scale. In its second year ranked as a stand-alone brand, Genesis earned an APEAL score that bumped it up 15 points to 884 and helped push it past Porsche — and past BMW, Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volvo, Cadillac, Land Rover and Lexus, in order of ranking. Last month, Genesis also topped J.D. Power's Initial Quality Survey (IQS) for the first time this year. And both its models were awarded Top Safety Pick Plus ratings by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, among 11 Plus ratings in all for Korean vehicles. Despite high J.D. Power rankings and great reviews, Genesis U.S. sales were off 50 percent for the first six months of 2018 compared to 2017, and in June Genesis sold only 796 vehicles — the first time U.S. numbers dropped below 1,000 in a month. Part of Genesis's APEAL and IQS success can be attributed to its small product lineup: just two models, the G80 and G90 sedans, with a third, the 2019 G70, launching later this year. And while those numbers may help in J.D.

Lexus RC F GT3 Racing Concept threatens to go racing

Fri, 28 Feb 2014

In case you needed more proof that the Lexus RC F is a statement car intended to scream "This is not your father's brand" (yes, we're paraphrasing the tagline of another automaker), here it is: the Lexus RC F GT3 Racing Concept. Lexus introduced a GT500-spec version of the RC F at the Tokyo Auto Salon last month, but this GT3-spec entrant and its Reading Rainbow paint job will get to show off at the Geneva Motor Show to whet the appetites of European racing outfits.
Although referred to as a concept, it will shake that name off when it completes a season of testing this year. Next year, Lexus will make it available to paying customers, and says the car will be cleared to race in the Occident and in Japan's Super GT series alongside its GT500 cousin.
