This is probably one of the better Lexus GS300 AWD vehicles available for sale today.
When I decided on a Lexus GS300 AWD in March of 2014, I looked at every one that came on the market within a 150
mile radius. This was by far the best one I found. I think I looked at and drove more than thirty. There were many
that advertised an “accident free” history, but when I got there the car had obviously been hit. There even was
one that the seller insisted had never been in an accident, but the back door could not be opened more then 18”
wide, and made much noise when being opened. I must confess that I am a very discerning buyer when it comes to
cars. This car had the full history from when the car was first purchased from the dealer, was the cleanest inside,
and the body showed NO evidence of ever having been hit. I looked for three months before finding this car.
The car has 111.650 miles on it, but many of the engine parts are NEW. Since I purchased the car in June of 2014
the following parts on the engine have been replaced:
New alternator, December 2014
New gasket kit, December 2014
New piston ring set, December 2014
New gasket, December 2014
New water pump, December 2014
I took it into the Lexus dealer because I felt it was consuming too much oil. Lexus tested it and found that the
oil control rings were clogged. Lexus replaced the oil control rings, piston rings, valve seals and cleaned those
areas. Many of the engine parts are now new, so the engine is probably in better shape than others for sale with
fewer miles. While they had the engine apart I opted to have the water pump and alternator replaced also.
I really like this car and do not really want to sell it, but I have no choice. I had an injury prior to buying the
car, and did not realize at that time what medical issues and expenses would come before the end of the year. I am
only selling it because I need cash. I have purchased an older ES300, and am, unfortunately, selling this car.
Here is what the dealer said about the car when it came in on trade.

Vice chronicles Okinawa's illegal street racing scene

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

We all know that street racing is dangerous, and that motorsports are best left on the track or drag strip. However, that doesn't mean that there still isn't some outlaw allure among enthusiasts of racing on public roads. In this video, Vice Japan profiles Eikichi Nagayoshi of Japan's island of Okinawa. He is a used car dealer by day and an illegal racer by night.
Nagayoshi has a deep love for his highly customized Toyota Aristo (better known to us as a first-generation Lexus GS) that he claims produces over 1,000 horsepower and has hit 205 miles per hour. He races his car both on drag strips and in drifting competitions, but says that he often has to ship the car to mainland Japan to compete. In the absence of those opportunities, he sometimes gathers friends and takes the racing to the public roads. While we're not down with street racing, this Vice video is an intriguing personality piece, as well as a look into Japan's fabled underground racing scene. Scroll down to check out the video, but make sure you have the "CC" button clicked, because several portions are subtitled.

Toyota investing $200M in Southern manufacturing

Sun, 23 Jun 2013

Over the past two years, Toyota has invested more than $2 billion at its North American production facilities, and it apparently doesn't plan on stopping there. To keep up with recent strong sales, Toyota is investing an additional $200 million at its engine plants in the Southern US to increase production capacity of its V6 engines.
The bulk of this money ($150 million) will go to expand Toyota's engine plant in Huntsville, AL, which is currently responsible for supplying engines - four-cylinder, V6 and V8 - to eight of Toyota's 12 domestically produced vehicles. That includes the best-selling Toyota Camry (shown above).
Toyota didn't say exactly what improvements are being made to the plant, but this follows last year's $80 million investment in the plant that is set to be completed by next year raising the engine capacity to 750,000 annual units including 362,000 V6s. The remaining $50 million will go to the casting plants of Toyota-owned Bodine Aluminum in Missouri and Tennessee, which supply engine blocks and cylinder heads to the Huntsville engine plant as well as others in Kentucky and West Virginia.

Toyota offered $146.5 million to build Lexus ES in Kentucky

Thu, 18 Apr 2013

Toyota posted a media advisory yesterday saying that Akio Toyoda, president of Toyota, and Jim Lentz, CEO of Toyota North America, would be making a production announcement tomorrow in New York City, and Automotive News reports that the automaker will be announcing a plan to domestically produce the Lexus ES. According to the report, numerous plants are competing to build the ES in North America, and the State of Kentucky has offered the automaker up to $146.5 million to build the luxury sedan at the Georgetown, KY assembly plant.
If Georgetown gets the ES, which has been built in Japan since its debut in 1989, it would be built alongside the Toyota Camry, which is somewhat ironic since in our review of the 2013 Lexus ES350, we wrote that this ES finally says "goodbye to its Camry roots." In order to get the whole amount offered, the article states that Toyota would have to invest $531.2 million and hire 570 full-time workers at the plant, which doesn't sound all that unreasonable since the plant would require an additional 50,000 units of annual production, not to mention the fact that the Georgetown facility is already at its capacity for building the Camry.
