Up for sale is a rare 2001 Lexus IS 300 Sportcross wagon.  Because so few were made (less than 3000), it's been called an unintended exotic that you rarely see on the road, especially in this condition.

I bought the car 7 yrs ago and it's been garaged, maintained and meticulously kept since I brought it home.  Oil changed every 3-4000 miles, recent timing belt & brakes.  I had it repainted last year as the bumpers were scuffed, the hood chipped and some nitwit hit the drivers door.  I replaced the windshield and use a separate set of Mille Miglia winter wheels with snows to protect the custom painted & polished OEM wheels.

I installed an SRT intake and custom magnaflow exhaust that sounds great under acceleration, not loud & cheesey.  It adds about 10-15 hp that is noticeable when compared to stock. 

The interior is in excellent condition.  The woodgrain dash kit was professionally installed and brightens up the inside without looking cheap.  I replaced the passeger seat (see the dog in the photos?) and will include the original with the car if the buyer wishes.

When you go to sell a car, one usually has to spend a couple hours detailing the interior, exterior and engine bay for the photos.  In this case, that's how the car is all the time I've owned it.  Clean and very well cared for.

The only items of note are that the CD player doesn't work, a couple of window-tint spots, a small, soft dent in the front left fender and a crack on the rear bumper as shown in the photos.  The car has never broken down, been in a serious accident and is inspected through 2015.

2013 Lexus LS460 F-Sport AWD

Mon, 22 Apr 2013

Gary Approved
There's a guy that goes to my gym who can't get enough of the Lexus LS - let's call him Gary. Gary's the guy - you've probably got one at your gym, or coffee shop, or some other public but quasi-social location - who talks to everyone he meets. Sit next to him on the rowing machine or run by him on the track, and he's almost certainly going to bend your ear for a minute or 20. Gary is in his mid-60s, a business owner, and the super-proud owner of a 2013 Lexus LS.
Not being a shy man, Gary will be the first one to tell you that he didn't do much comparative shopping (he "drove by" the BMW dealership, and looked at a 7 Series "on the computer"). Being a satisfied former owner of multiple Lexus RXs, there was probably only a tiny statistical chance that Gary wouldn't end up in an LS when it came time for him to treat himself to the tricked out luxury car that he'd wanted for a long time. Still, when I found myself chatting with Gary about his new LS, right after I had spent a wintry week in the 2013 LS460 F-Sport AWD, I figured that he'd have some light to shed on the car.

2018 Autoblog Technology of the Year finalists

Wed, Jan 10 2018

After months of prepping and several days of testing, we narrowed the field for Autoblog's 2018 Tech of the Year award to the Nissan Rogue with ProPilot Assist semi-autonomous driving system, the Lexus LC 500h and its new hybrid powertrain, and the Chevy Colorado ZR2 and its trick Multimatic spool-valve off-road shocks. Three very different cars with very different technologies duking it out for the award. Look for news of our winner at the 2018 Detroit Auto Show. We hand out this award every year to the technology or feature that we feel moves the bar forward for the automotive industry. Read more here on how our testing process works. We discuss, debate and count up score sheets, judging each vehicle and technology on a few different criteria. Is its purpose noteworthy? Does it work well? Does it advance the industry? The Nissan Rogue with ProPilot Assist was actually a prototype, as the technology will first debut in the 2018 Nissan Leaf. Still, we're here to test the tech and not the car. ProPilot Assist combines adaptive cruise control system combined with lane-keeping assistance. The system uses sonar, radar and a number of cameras for some light semi-autonomous driving and enhanced safety. While these systems aren't new individually, Nissan's system is affordable, intuitive, and coming to a mainstream product — democratizing the tech in a novel way, if you will. That's why it's here. The Lexus LC 500h uses a new powertrain that Lexus has dubbed the Multi-Stage Hybrid System. Basically it combines two types of transmissions — a CVT and a four-speed automatic — in a single unit mated to a naturally aspirated V6. That's complex and unorthodox technology, and Lexus engineered it to give drivers the efficiency of a CVT without sacrificing driving enjoyment. The package is subtle, working in the background to create a nearly seamless driving experience. It's engaging in a way most other hybrids can only dream of. The fact that it's wrapped in such gorgeous sheetmetal only makes things better. The Multimatic spool valve shocks in the Chevy Colorado ZR2 might seem low-tech compared to ProPilot Assist and the Lexus Multi-Stage Hybrid, but they represent a completely novel application of a technology that several years ago was so expensive that it was reserved for top-tier race cars. Like the LC 500h, these shocks really change your perception of how a vehicle like this should drive.
