Thank you for looking at my auction! I’m selling my 2001 IS300 with no reserve. It has 171,000 miles and will climb slightly as I do drive the car a small amount every day. It is loaded with power windows, power door locks, ac, cruise control, heated leather and suede seats, power sunroof, factory HID headlights, and yellow fog lights. It is an automatic with a manual mode for use with shifters located on the steering wheel. It also has traction control and sport mode. I have the original owner’s manual and 2 sets of keys. Everything works and functions as it should; this car runs and drives really well!

Exterior:

The black paint is in really great shape, as it has been repainted at some point. The rear bumper has some scrapes under the paint, but they are not very severe. The driver’s side rocker panel has a small dent in the very lower portion that should be fairly visible in the photos. There are not any major dents or dings on the exterior and there is no rust whatsoever. The factory headlights have been repainted to look like JDM lights a shave the fog lights. The front grill is a TRD replica, but looks very nice and fits very well. There is a small rock chip in the windshield, but it was repaired a few years ago and hasn't grown or spread since. There are some small scrapes on the driver’s front corner, but other than that, they exterior is really awesome! I wash it regularly and revive a lot of compliments on it. No one believes it’s a 2001!

Interior:

The interior is in unbelievable shape; all of the interior features work as they should. The leather and suede seats show very little wear. There are no tears in the seats or carpets. The original floor mats are in wonderful shape as well. The head unit has been replaced with a Pioneer unit that has Bluetooth, iPod connectivity, and iPhone AppMode for GPS, Pandora, and other apps from your iPhone. There is a noise-cancelling microphone located to the left of the rear-view mirror and works very well. There aren't any loud rattles or squeaks and nothing seems to be broken.

Drivetrain:

The engine and transmission seem to be in perfect working order. The previous owner told me he had the major service done around 115,000 miles which should have included a full fluid “flush-and-fill”, the timing belt, tensioner, water pump, and thermostat. I can’t verify that this has been done, but I don’t have any reason to doubt it. It idles nice and smooth and shifts through the gears swiftly and smoothly. I've changed the oil recently and it doesn't use a drop. It doesn't leak anything either. There is a check engine light on, and when checked out at the dealership, they told me it was for the oxygen sensor in “bank 1”. I never got around to replacing it, but they are about $75 online. It’s very clean underneath, especially for its age. The wheels are stock, but they have been painted satin black. The tires are new Bridgestone Blizzaks; the fronts are 205-45-17 and the rears are 215-45-17. This wasn't on purpose, but the difference is not visibly noticeable at all. These tires are amazing in bad weather! I’ll never drive a car through the winter without them again!

Again, thank you for looking at my car! I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere and it has been a champ in the sub-zero conditions that Indiana has suffered through this winter. If you have any questions about this car, feel free to let me know. I’m happy to answer anything I can for you or provide additional photos. I've done my best to describe this car openly and honestly. It I've left anything out, it wasn't on purpose and I will not be held responsible. This is a used car and is being sold as-is, where-is. I reserve the right to end the auction early, as I do have it for sale locally as well. Thank you!

The new 2018 Lexus LS 500h hybrid V6 makes V8 power

Tue, Mar 7 2017

With hybrids en vogue in Geneva, Lexus has taken the opportunity to debut the all-new 2018 Lexus LS 500h. The V6 is paired to two electric motors for a healthy total of 354 horsepower, just not far off the a V8-powered LS 460. It is down quite a bit from the outgoing 438-horsepower LS 600h but still enough to send the LS 500h to 60 miles per hour in 5.4 seconds. The hybrid system is similar to the one in the new LC 500h coupe, which combines the traditional Toyota hybrid two-motor CVT with a 4-speed automatic for better responsiveness, less of the "rubber band" CVT sensation, and (of course) greater efficiency. It should also help keep the LS 500h relatively quiet at full bore, keeping it in line with the "whisper quiet" mantra of the new LS. The new lithium-ion battery pack is 20 percent smaller than the outgoing nickel-metal battery, though Lexus claims power density has been improved. Styling changes to the hybrid are minor. It still features the love-it-or-hate-it spindle grille that's permeated throughout the Lexus lineup, but other than a handful of hybrid badges and the typical blue ring around the badge, it's hard to spot the difference between the models. The interior appears to have a few minor trim changes, including some new reptile scale-like door panels. While fuel economy hasn't been announced, expect improvements over the outgoing model's 19 city/23 highway rating. Look for more news on fuel economy and pricing in the next few months.

Lexus LC 500 coming to Detroit Auto Show

Sun, Dec 6 2015

Believe it or not, it's been nearly four years since we first saw the Lexus LF-LC Concept. Its swoopy style and spindle grille kicked off a big design revolution for Lexus, and we saw a number of LF-LC design elements work their way onto production cars. But now, rumor has it a full-on production version will see the light of day, and soon. Motoring.com.au says the LC 500 coupe will show its face at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show in January, and we have little reason to doubt this. In fact, it's kind of been a long time coming. The LC was reportedly approved for production in 2013, and though we were told it might resurrect the SC name, Lexus filed copyright applications for "LC 500" and "LC 500h." Oh, and a prototype of this car was recently spotted testing. The LC 500 will arrive with – no surprise here – Lexus' naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8, plucked from the RC F and GS F. That said, Motoring says it could arrive with a new, 10-speed automatic transmission from Aisin. As for the LC 500h, Motoring thinks it'll be powered by a, 3.5-liter V6-based hybrid drive system that could produce something like 470 horsepower – not the current V6/hybrid unit from the GS 450h. A hotter LC F should follow in a couple of years, and earlier reports suggest it could make something like 600 horsepower. Of course, Lexus refuses to comment on future product speculation, so we don't have any official proof that this is actually happening. But it all makes a lot of sense. Watch this space in two months' time for more details.

Lexus LF-SA Concept leaks its mini self ahead of Geneva

Sat, Feb 28 2015

What you see here is the Lexus LF-SA Concept, which is speeding toward a date next week with the Geneva Motor Show. We don't yet have any official details, but Lexus is apparently saying the LF-SA was "conceived as a luxurious, driver-focused vehicle, designed to address a future world that is more influenced by technology and virtual experiences," and that it "[reflects] Lexus' vision that real experience will remain ultimate luxury." We don't know how far into the future Lexus is looking with its LF-SA Concept, but it looks very small, with just two doors, meaning it's likely even more diminutive and less spacious than the entry-level luxury Buick Encore. It could be positioned below the current CT 200h, which currently stands as the smallest model from Lexus. Check out the pictures above, and stay tuned for all the official details from Geneva.
