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

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.

2014 Lexus IS brings boldest design yet to entry-level luxury
Tue, 15 Jan 2013Lexus is evidently dead serious about removing some of the starch from its collar, as evidenced by the boldly styled new IS sedan just unveiled here at the Detroit Auto Show. We didn't know what to make of Lexus' entry-level sport sedan when we first saw images of it earlier this week. Dominated by the gaping maw of a spindle grille and flanked by headlamps with Nike swoosh daytime running lamps, the photos showed a distinctive (if not completely cohesive) design. Having now seen the design in the metal, we have to admit it comes together better than it does on screen.
The new model will feature both rear- and all-wheel drive models in both 2.5-liter V6 (IS250) and 3.5-liter V6 (IS350) trims. Lexus also showed an IS300h hybrid model at the reveal, but it is earmarked for Lexus' home market of Japan, along with Europe and other markets. No word yet on why the model probably won't be sold here in North America, but our AutoblogGreen compatriots are looking into it.
Aside from its bold new look front and rear, the IS carries forward a lot of the ideas seen in other newer Lexus models, namely the GS. Hidden beneath the IS' sheetmetal is the multilink rear suspension from the GS, along with its electric power steering setup. The new IS rides atop a three-inch longer wheelbase for better rear seat room, but during our brief time sitting in the car at the press conference melee, it still didn't feel terribly roomy (it rarely does in this class). At least the seatbacks fold 60/40 for the first time for additional utility.
Florida police officer injured by DUI suspect after traffic stop
Thu, Jan 8 2015What started as a fairly normal traffic stop for Sergeant Kerstan Tatro ended with him lying on the ground with a compound fracture in his arm. The policeman in Gulf Breeze, FL, pulled over a woman driving a Lexus SC 430 because her erratic driving suggested that she might be under the influence. It all went well until Tatro asked the driver to perform a field sobriety test and she sped away partially trapping the officer in the car. It was all captured by the cruiser's dashcam. As the woman started to drive away, Tatro tried to grab for the keys. He was too late, though, and she got on the gas. The Lexus ran over the officer's foot and caused the serious injury to his arm. Thankfully, bystanders were at the policeman's side within a few seconds of him being hurt. By coincidence, even Tatro's daughter was driving by the time, and was pretty shaken by her dad's condition. According to the Pensacola News Journal, a witness to the officer's injuries followed the woman to a hotel parking lot and told police where she was. They allegedly found drugs in her possession. Below is a video from the Pensacola News Journal interviewing Tatro, and he gives a thorough account of exactly what happened. This content is hosted by a third party.
