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.

Autotrader picks best cars for 2015's college grads

Sun, May 31 2015

Summer is here and the school season is winding to a close. That means millions of students will be graduating college and (hopefully) entering the workforce. For many, that will mean buying a new car suited to the new stage in life into which they will now be embarking. That can be a bewildering choice, especially for someone who's never bought a car before. Fortunately, Autotrader has come up with a short list of recommended cars – new and used – which it recommends to the graduating class of 2015. Among the site's top choices are some compelling crossovers and hatchbacks, including the Buick Encore, Chevy Trax, and Jeep Renegade, as well as the Honda Fit, Nissan Versa Note, Mazda3 and Fiat 500. Can't stretch to buying new, or don't see the point? Autotrader has also identified the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion and even the Lexus IS as smart buys in the certified pre-owned category. "Any time someone goes through a major life change, such as graduating college, they need to determine if their current ride makes sense for their lifestyle, from both a financial and functional perspective," says Autotrader editor Brian Moody. "For example, while that hand-me-down SUV from your parents was nice when you turned 16, you may want to opt for a safer, more fuel-efficient car as you transition into the working world." Autotrader Names 10 Best Cars for Recent College Graduates ATLANTA, May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For many, graduating college is a milestone like no other – it represents a new chapter, a proud accomplishment and, fortunately or unfortunately, financial independence. Luckily for graduates who are in the market for a new car to suit their post-college lifestyle, Autotrader's expert editors say now is a great time to make a purchase, as dealerships are flush with affordable models that are fun, fuel-efficient and thoughtfully designed.

Lexus to reveal production NX crossover at Beijing in April

Thu, 06 Mar 2014

At the Frankfurt Motor Show last year, Lexus rolled out a concept crossover called the LF-NX. It then brought it back, with a new paint job and a turbocharged engine, at the Tokyo Motor Show a few months later. We got another glimpse a couple of months after that during a presentation from Jim Lentz. But now Toyota has confirmed that the finalized production version is just around the corner.
While all the attention is affixed on the Geneva Motor Show, Toyota released a statement (which you can read below) announcing that the NX (as it will officially be known) will debut next month at the Beijing Motor Show. Set to be positioned below the RX, the new NX will tackle what Lexus terms as "the growing segment of premium compact crossovers," taking on the likes of the Audi Q3, BMW X1 and Mercedes-Benz GLK.

Production Lexus NX leaks online

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

The first photos of the new Lexus NX crossover have leaked onto the web over a week before its official debut at the Beijing Motor Show. These pictures are pretty blurry, but there is no mistaking that they show off the Japanese luxury brand's smaller, premium CUV.
While the teaser only gave us a glimpse at its pointed strip of LED running lights and angular grille, the new image proves that the CUV is definitely not afraid of sharp edges. However, compared to the original concept, it looks almost sedate. The production version drops the knife-like side mirrors for more conventional units, and the grille appears narrower. The vertical intakes at the edges of the front are dulled slightly but still present. The NX is indeed a polarizing vehicle - we'll be interested to see it in person. After all, we've grown to like the new IS after our first, shocking reaction. We should give Lexus some credit, too, for not following the premium CUV styling herd.
Seen elsewhere, these's an exterior photo that hints at a powertrain configuration. The bumper reads NX 300h, which likely indicates that there will be a hybrid version of the CUV. This is likely the same combined 220-horsepower system with a 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle engine and electric motor found in the IS 300h in Europe. There is no word on whether that model will be sold here. It's rumored to be offered with a new 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder as well. More details about the new Lexus are expected in China later this month.
