Welcome to a great opportunity. Have you ever heard of that 1-owner, very low mileage, Florida-kept automobile that was owned and driven by a little old lady, probably only to and from church on Sunday? Well, we're not sure about the religious nature of her trips, but this is that car!
 
Simply put, this 2003 Lexus ES300 runs and drives like new. It was purchased at County Line Lexus of Hollywood, Florida and was serviced by the professionals at the Lexus dealership. No squeaks, rattles, noises, or smells, just an ultra-luxurious and ultra-smooth ride that only a Lexus can provide. There is a reason that Lexus is considered by many automotive experts as the best riding luxury brand of any of the premium automobile makers in the world. And with only 67,000 original, sunny South Florida miles, this ES300 is just getting broken in. It is not uncommon to see this extremely durable engine and transmission combination reach 200,000 miles + of trouble-free performance. It has recently had its 60,000 mile service performed and has a fresh oil change, new air filter and wipers, and interior cabin filters as well as cooling system service and flush. The air conditioning is ice cold, and for those of you in non-tropical climates, the heater works great. It even has heated seats, with multiple settings!
 
The rich, elegant leather and wood trimmed interior is like new. The dark cherry accents really showcase the light beige leather very nicely, and the rear seats do not even appear to have ever been used. It is clean and fresh. This vehicle was never smoked in and neither the ashtray, nor the cigarette lighter have ever been used. This one-owner Lexus was owned by a senior, and while she did her best to have it regularly serviced and cleaned, sometimes the older folks here in Florida bump into a few things.
 
We are selling this low mileage Lexus in exactly the condition that we took it in. All we had our detailer do is clean it. It runs and drives phenomenal, and the interior is extra-clean. The exterior presents a wonderful and brilliant finish, but if you look closely, you will find some imperfections. This may not bother most of you, but we do our best to accurately describe our vehicles honestly and accurately. It appears this automobile was completely and professionally repainted a couple years ago. While being a Florida vehicle has HUGE benefits--(i.e. no harsh weather, no harsh roads, no hills or potholes and certainly no snow or salt), sometimes the summer sun can fade paint. So, it is not uncommon for vehicles to be re-painted. We see it a lot. On this Lexus you can literally eat off of the undercarriage as well as the engine compartment. Both are as close to new as you can find. You will not see that on a northern, or Midwest vehicle. And then once the corrosion sets in on a vehicle from other parts of the country, things will begin to rust. Things that you can see, and unfortunately, things that you cannot see. Not the case here. This car is as clean as a whistle!
 
So the finish is brilliant and the color is outstanding. Lexus calls it Black Garnet Pearl. It is a factory 3-stage paint process that goes into this color, making it a premium color and a $995 option from Lexus when ordered new. It looks great, and during the day, the sunlight really makes this color dance. At night it looks black. Black Cherry is the more common term we use for this color. The front bumper on the right hand side, well under the headlamp has a slight scuff. It appears she may have rubbed the wall of her garage while entering or exiting. Again, might not be a big deal to most for a 10 year old vehicle, but we are telling you about it. If interested after the sale, our cost to have it professionally repainted to like new standards is $150. There are a few nicks and scratches that you would consider consistent for a 10 year old vehicle, but you have to get up close to the car. Of course, no dents, dings or unsightly parking lot mishaps. The factory aluminum alloy wheels have a complete set of premium Yokohama Avid Endevor all-season performance radials all the way around. They are Brand new and appear to have less than 200 miles on them. Cost of these top-of-the-line Yokohama's was around $800, and they are Nitrogen filled. The rims look like new as well, with no curb rash or chips that you sometimes see. There was no skimping of the service on this Lexus at all by the previous gal!
 
This Lexus is fully loaded. It has complete power options as well as dual power front seats, heated seats, factory power glass moonroof, express touch windows, Premium Audio System with 6-disc CD changer and 8 surround sound speakers, factory security system, solar ray factory tinted glass, independent electronic climate control and so much more. It even has a power rear sunshade. This was a rare option. Everything works perfectly and properly, just as you would expect from a low mileage, well-maintained automobile.
 
The latest October 2013 NADA Used Car Guide shows the retail value of this 2003 Lexus ES300 to be over $12,575 and certainly much more at your friendly neighborhood Lexus dealership. This is a unique color and has a one-owner and Florida-kept pedigree. Please feel free to call or e-mail me with any questions that you may have. I am including all the original books, manuals and supplements that came with this car when new, as well as a complete set of factory Lexus embroidered carpeted floor mats. This ES300 drives and runs outstanding, it gets excellent fuel economy and is very roomy. Plenty of room in the trunk for golf clubs or multiple suitcases, and the interior provides comfortable seating for 5 adults. This is a sensational car to take on a long road trip. With only 67,681 original miles, this Lexus was used sparingly. That's less than 6,500 miles per year. And again, very easy miles by an older owner, and pleasant Florida roads.
 
Don't make the mistake of missing out on this rare find. We are running this auction for 7 days with No Reserve. One lucky and savvy bidder will be getting a great vehicle. Please call or e-mail Steve at 561.283.9511 with any questions or if you would like to make an appointment to see the car. We offer transport assistance within the Continental US, and of course, free airport pick-up is available from Jacksonville International. Good Luck to everyone bidding on this classy, low mileage Lexus ES300. We do charge a nominal $299 dealer fee to each winning bid. Bid with confidence and Bid to win!

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 bringing next-gen IS to Detroit

Tue, 04 Dec 2012

With ES, GS and LS models all now minty fresh at your local Lexus showroom, it was only a matter of time before we had official word that the company's IS had a replacement in the wings. That word has come down today in an ultra brief press release that names the date and venue that the sheet will be pulled on the new car: January 15th in Detroit at the North American International Auto Show.
Don't pay too much attention to the test mule in these dusty spy shots, we're told that the small Lexus has been "completely redesigned" from the inside out and that it has drawn inspiration from the sultry LF-CC concept car. In LA we learned that the LF-CC has been green-lit for production, so we'd expect to see a lot of cues from that car (in the gallery below) lifted directly for the all-new IS. New fang-face, here we come.
While a coupe and a convertible version of the next IS are undoubtedly in the cards, too, we'd guess that the sedan will be first to go on stage at Detroit next month.

2019 BMW M850i xDrive: How it compares on paper with other GT coupes

Wed, Jul 11 2018

Although the hot new vehicles for the rich seem to mainly comprise SUVs and supercars, the neglected luxury GT coupe segment is starting to see some life again. The latest to add a spark to this set is the 2019 BMW M850i xDrive. It goes on sale later this year, and revives the 8 Series that's been dead since the 1990s. The first version available to Americans will be one with a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8, with other versions likely following. Before it launches, we wanted to get a lay of the grand-touring land and see how the new BMW stacks up to the competition in performance, practicality and price. While some of these models have higher-performance or more-affordable iterations, we picked the versions that would be the closest match to this 8 Series model. They include the 2019 Lexus LC 500, 2018 Mercedes-Benz SL 550, 2018 Mercedes-Benz S 560 Coupe and the 2018 Maserati GranTurismo. We will also provide some short summaries on our experiences with these cars, but to get a full picture of each model, be sure to check out their full reviews. And if you want to compare any of these cars with models you don't see here, be sure to try out our car comparison tool. Engines, transmissions and performance On paper, the BMW M850i xDrive is clearly the performer of the group. It has the most power and torque at 523 horsepower and 553 pound-feet. Coupled with all-wheel-drive and an eight-speed automatic, the car is able to overcome its relatively portly 4,478-pound curb weight to hit 60 mph in a scant 3.6 seconds. That's more than half a second quicker than the lightest car in the group, the Mercedes-Benz SL550, which weighs 4,012 pounds. The other three vehicles are in the low- to mid-4-second range to 60 mph. Though the Maserati is the slowest to 60 mph, it does boast the highest top speed of 186 mph. The M850i and SL 550 are electronically limited to 155 mph, while the Lexus is limited to 168 mph. The Mercedes S 560 has the lowest top speed at an electronically limited 130 mph. View 52 Photos Of interest is that there's a 50/50 split among these cars between using a pair of turbos, and having none at all. The BMW and Mercedes resort to forced induction, whereas the Lexus and Maserati choose to stay naturally aspirated. This is likely why the Germans break 500 pound-feet of torque, while the others don't make it to 400. Also interesting is the spread of gear quantity. The Maserati has just six ratios to choose from, and the Lexus has a whopping 10.
