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.

Houston repair shop disappears and takes man's Lexus with it

Mon, Feb 13 2017

A man in Houston, Texas, is out his sweet new Lexus after the small-time repair shop he took it to just up and disappeared along with his car last month. According to KPRC, Randy Exom purchased a Lexus ES300 back in November and immediately took it to On Site Auto Repair in Northwest Houston to deal with some used car issues. To pay for the work, Exom set up a bi-weekly payment plan with the shop's owner. This arrangement worked out fine until January 19, when Exom showed up to make his payment and discovered that the shop had disappeared. "Everything was going fine up until I came there to make a payment and there was an eviction sign posted, sign on the door, and the regular cars that were in the lot weren't there anymore," Exom told KPRC. Eventually, he was able to reach the shop's owner to get an explanation but it wasn't the one he wanted. "I gave him a call and I said, 'Hey, there's an eviction notice here. Did you move?' He said, 'Yeah, I'm at 59 and Little York now." The fact that the owner didn't give him an exact address raised some alarms, and upon further review it seems that Exom's suspicions were justified. It turns out that the shop's owner, Shawn Gee, has a history of shady automotive dealing. Last fall, KPRC reported cases of cars going missing from a shop at 59 and Little York. That shop, which is now closed, was owned by Gee's brother. On February 10, Exom finally found his car in an impound lot with the rest of the cars from Gee's shop nearly a full month after it went missing. He told KPRC that the impound lot wants $800 to release his car. He told reporters that he wished Gee had called him and worked the situation out like a real businessman. "My thing is my car was in your possession and you should have made some type of contact with me and say, 'Hey this is what's going on, sir,'" he said. KPRC reached Gee by phone on February 10 and he declined to give an on-camera interview. He did confirm the eviction and said that he was working with customers to get their impounded vehicles back.

Japanese dealer petitioning Lexus for luxury van [w/poll]

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

Used to be that if you wanted a luxury automobile - especially one to be chauffeured around in - your choices were basically limited to a sedan. It could be bigger or smaller, more or less expensive, depending on your needs and budget, but it was always going to have four doors and a trunk. But these days the rich and famous are looking elsewhere for their commodious forms of pampering transportation. There are, of course, the crossovers and SUVs, which only seem to be getting bigger and more expensive thanks to the likes of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, Range Rover L and upcoming Bentley sport-ute. But luxury vans are becoming the new big thing.
That's the point that one dealer in Japan is trying to make to Toyota. The dealership owner himself reasons that if he's going out on the town, he's likely to take his chauffeured Lexus LS. But if he's taking a few friends along, even the biggest sedan isn't going to cut it. So he takes a Toyota Alphard (pictured above, also known as the Vellfire), a JDM van that's even bigger than a Voxy/Noah or Sienna but hardly a high-end affair. That's why he's asking Lexus to make a luxury van.
The idea may seem a little far-fetched, but isn't without precedent. It didn't take much for Lexus to transform the Land Cruiser into the LX and thus create its first luxury SUV. And as Mercedes has shown with pimped-out versions of the Sprinter and now with the debut of the new V-Class in Geneva, there's clearly a market for it... in some countries, anyway. The only question in our minds is how long it's going to take other luxury automakers to catch on, because let's face it: the Chrysler Town & Country ain't gonna cut it for those used to be driven around in a Maybach.
