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!

2014 Lexus CT shows new face on each side of the Pacific [w/video]

Thu, 21 Nov 2013

Earlier today, Lexus officially took the wraps off its 2014 CT 200h at the Guangzhou Motor Show, and now we've gotten a chance to inspect the updated hybrid hatchback right here at the LA Auto Show.
As expected, the most prominent change made to the CT's styling is the addition of Lexus' signature spindle grille. Additional changes include new wheel options and revised front and rear fascias, but our favorite update to the car is to the headlights, where there is no longer a gap in the middle of the LED running lights. The luxury hatchback has also received some changes to the cabin, including an updated instrument gauge cluster, a new fixed nav screen that replaces the previous folding unit and a freshened combination of cabin materials.
No changes have been made to the CT's hybrid powertrain, meaning the model will carry on with a 134-horsepower 1.8-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder paired with a drive motor and an electronic continuously variable transmission. Fuel economy ratings likely won't stray too much from the 2013 model's 43 miles per gallon city and 40 mpg highway ratings.

A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]

Thu, Dec 18 2014

Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.

Lexus LF-LC GT ready to hit Gran Turismo

Mon, Feb 2 2015

Lexus might not have as rich a motorsport history as its parent company Toyota does, but it's not been without its racing activities – fielding the LFA in the VLN series at the Nurburgring and powering Daytona Prototypes in American endurance racing, but especially in Japan's own Super GT touring car series. That's where it recently rolled out the RC F GT500 is to replace the aging SC430, fighting for the championship last season right up to the bitter end. And this year it will bring a similar version of the RC F to GT3 racing as well. But before it does, the Japanese automaker has given us another racing machine to lust over – only this one is just for the virtual reality of Gran Turismo 6. Following the two teaser images that previewed its reveal, Polyphony Digital (the studio behind the Gran Turismo franchise) has revealed the new Lexus LF-LC GT. The latest in the Vision Gran Turismo series of virtual racers, the Lexus concept starts with the LF-LC show car revealed at the Detroit Auto Show back in 2012, but applies to it some of the same queues as the aforementioned RC F racer. The bodywork melds into extended aprons to keep the car glued to the digital track, there's a side-exit exhaust, carbon hood and roof, a giant rear wing, gargantuan diffuser and lightweight alloys on racing slicks. It's even got the rainbow-swirled white paint job of the RC F GT3 concept. Technical details weren't released, but then this concept wasn't designed to hit any real road or track any time in the near future, anyway. Related Video:
