I have up for bid here a very RARE Lexus IS300 Wagon, also known as the SportCross model. This is a very rare car first because there were only a few thousand SportCross ever made, plus this one has all factory options including heated leather seats, CD changer, HID headlights, yellow fog lights, sunroof, and factory navigation! What tops it off is this one was always adult owned - unmolested - with no aftermarket parts or modifications. Completely stock vehicle. NON SMOKER! NO PETS or funny odors. The main selling point for this car is the fact that it was obsessively maintained. I am the 3rd owner, and I can tell you that I am very meticulous when it comes to my cars being mechanically perfect. The car has a spotless CARFAX report and it shows. It was purchased new at a sticker price of $43k and spent most of its life in Florida as a daily driver and that is where it got the bulk of its mileage. A neighbor bought the car from him and very shortly after I convinced him to sell it to me.
The following is recent maintenance done to the car: @ 135,000 miles:
@ 140,000 miles:
@ 149,000 miles:
This is a true turn-key used car that needs no work and won't need any work for a long time. Please do you research - simple google and Lexus forum searches will teach you that the most common mechanical work needed to this car, is already listed above as being changed. All work was done from my mechanic at a Toyota Dealership. Don't let the mileage fool you - if you buy one with 100k you will dump $3,000 in the next couple years doing exactly what I already did. My car didn't even need it all - I'm just super anal and want my cars to be mechanically perfect so I changed anything that showed even slight sign of wear. The car's interior is still in great condition with a few minor imperfections. Study the pics. 2 issues worth noting: The patch on the passenger seat to cover up a 2 inch rip from getting worse. That patch never bothered me too much but you can get the bottom section of the seat re-upholstered for around $150 or buy a used is300 seat from a junkyard for $150. if it bothers you. The other issue is the CD player/changer doesn't always work the first time you turn it on. The AM/FM/Tape works fine, but the CD sometimes skips and if you turn it on and off a few times, it stops skipping. I've tried copied CD's and non copied and it does it for all of them. This also didnt bother me much but if it bothers you, there are plent of these OEM head units on eBay as well. The car's exterior for the age and mileage is in above average condition. No dents or dings or bodywork or paintwork that I know of. All panels are showing the VIN # sticker and the CARFAX reads clean. It has some scratches like any daily driver would - nothing major - just surface scratches that I couldn't even get to show up in pics. Has some hood rock chips, and the rear bumper has the most imperfections. I captured them in 2 pics so you can see. Overall the body is in great shape. Paint is good too - but keep in mind you are buying a used car. Please come with realistic expectations; you are buying a used car. Engine, Transmission, Suspension, Exhaust - main components of the car are in outstanding condition. Bring your mechanic. When I take my car to the mechanic I say make it perfect and hand me the bill. I trust him and anything he recommends, I fix. Not cheap about it. No matter what this car sells for I am losing a lot of money on it. I'd rather sell a perfect car than try to hide something and be dishonest. The service you see done listed above which was done at 149k was "I am going to sell this car so I want to give it to the shop one last time to make it perfect" service. Changed things that still had life left, just because they were showing age, just so that you or your mechanic don't find a reason to say something is "wrong" with the car. I've described the car to the best of my ability. It is a used car being sold as-is no warranty obviously. Feel free to test drive or bring your mechanic to meet me near the King of Prussia PA area if you want to see the car before the auction ends. The title transfer and notary work will be done at Grisafi Insurance and Auto Tags in Trooper PA near KOP. I've sold 3 BMW's on eBay in the last few years - all my personal cars. All received positive feedback. My overall eBay feedback speaks for itself and should give you confidence when buying. I am selling this car because I bought another BMW. NO RESERVE!! GOOD LUCK!! |

Consumer Reports: Toyota expected to announce fix for emergency trunk releases
Thu, 13 Dec 2012According to Consumer Reports, Toyota is set to release a fix for trunk release pulls on certain Lexus vehicles that could snap off in an emergency. As you may recall, CR found the federally-mandated emergency releases could break if pulled toward the user. As it turned out, the trunk surround behaved like a fulcrum, putting more force against the center of the release than toward the trunk mechanism itself. While the organization found the problem to exist on 2013 Lexus ES and GS, Toyota was able to replicate the flaw on the IS as well.
Toyota will alert 700,000 owners of 2007-2013 Lexus ES models, 2006-2012 IS vehicles and 2013 GS cars and replace the old ABS plastic release with a sturdier polypropylene part free of charge once the components are available to dealers. The service campaign is expected to begin in January.
Lexus IS sedan refreshed and restyled in Beijing
Mon, Apr 25 2016The current IS with its polarizing sheetmetal has been for sale since 2013, and Lexus has now updated the styling, turning it up a notch. The new IS has a mouth that is perhaps even more gaping than the outgoing model's front end. The intakes have been enlarged, making the front bumper more aggressive even on the IS200t base model. Along with a reshaped spindle grille, the headlights have been redesigned and now feature L-shaped daytime running lights. The checkmark-shaped "light guides" underneath them have also been made more pronounced. Lexus says they have reached for a design that would make the car look like it's in constant motion even when sitting still – perhaps a design cliche, but often attempted, and the character line on the sides has been enhanced for that reason. Did they succeed? You be the judge. Inside, the central information display has grown from 7 inches to 10.3, along with getting higher resolution. Otherwise, the interior remains much as it was. There are small touches here and there, including a redesigned gauge cluster, but mostly it's all about new color choices. On the engine front, the lineup continues to rely on three engine choices. The IS200t carries on as the downsized base four-cylinder option with a twin-scroll turbo charger and cycle-shifting Variable Valve Timing-intelligent Wide – still good for 241 horsepower. The IS300 gets a 255-horsepower V6 and the top-rung IS350 offers up 306 ponies from its 3.5-liter V6. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

New Lexus IS Debuts at the 2016 Beijing Auto Show BEIJING (April 25, 2016) -- A daring new styling direction, exciting performance and innovative technology defined the completely new Lexus IS that was introduced in 2013. Since then, sales of the luxury brand's entry-level sedan have surpassed expectations, outselling the previous-generation model, which was very popular in its own right. At the Beijing Auto Show today, Lexus has taken the covers off the new IS, armed with a fresh new look and a number of important changes. Because the original styling of the current IS has proved so popular, Lexus has kept the essence of car's exterior appearance intact; however, the entire front fascia of the new model has undergone a transformation, highlighted by new headlamps, large air intakes in the front bumper and an evolution of Lexus' spindle grille.
Chris Harris flogs the Lexus RC F
Fri, Feb 20 2015Chris Harris went to the Monticello race track in New York to sample the Lexus RC F, and, to be honest, he had to figure out how to love it on a circuit. Smitten with the luxury coupe's looks and cabin and naturally-aspirated V8 before taking the driver's seat, Harris found that four laps on track exposed its Achilles' heel: mass. Harris quoted the weight of his car at 1,860 kilograms, or 4,092 pounds, which is about one junior varsity athlete beyond the 3,958-pound curb weight of the coupe we drove. The 478 horsepower and 391 pound-feet of torque couldn't stoke the hustle Harris wanted, removing all the easy friskiness expected from the coveted FR setup, and leading to quick brake fade. He made note of the Lexus' lack of torque compared to the BMW M4, but in truth the RC F is only 15 lb-ft shy of its Munich nemesis. It is, however, at least 400 pounds heavier. On public roads, though, it's a different story. When not being pushed to prove itself in tight spaces, Harris thinks the Lexus is still a "curious blend of things," but a GT whose noise, styling and non-Germanness mean that it "certainly has a place," and might just take time to grow into.
