2002 Lexus Is300 Sportcross Wagon! Rare! Factory Nav! Unmolested! Adult Owned! on 2040-cars
United States
|
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!! |

Lexus rolling out LC 500h with new hybrid system in Geneva
Mon, Feb 15 2016When Lexus revealed the new LC 500 at the Detroit Auto Show last month, we knew it wouldn't be the only powertrain variant on offer. Now the Japanese automaker is teasing another version that will be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show next month. Toyota's luxury division hasn't given up much in the way of details as to what will power the new LC 500h, except to label the powertrain as the Lexus Multi Stage Hybrid System. The technology is slated to deliver "enhanced driving pleasure, more performance, and greater efficiency" over the current Lexus Hybrid Drive system. Whatever the specifications, expect the system to proliferate into additional Lexus hybrids to come. Otherwise we can expect the LC 500h to closely mirror the conventional LC 500. The sleek coupe design closely followed that of the LF-LC concept from 2012, and took top honors in the EyesOn Design Awards this year as the most beautiful new production car, and with the best interior as well. Alongside the hybrid coupe at the Geneva Motor Show, Lexus will also showcase the LF-FC concept that previewed the next LS sedan at the Tokyo Motor Show this past November with a hydrogen fuel cell powertrain.

The LC 500h is equipped with Lexus' next generation hybrid powertrain, the Lexus Multi Stage Hybrid System, providing enhanced driving pleasure, more performance, and greater efficiency. The LC was first revealed at the 2016 North America International Auto Show. Its styling, performance and craftsmanship position the vehicle as Lexus' flagship coupe. The LC also utilizes Lexus' new architecture that promises enhanced dynamic capability. Inspired by the acclaimed LF-LC concept that debuted in 2012, the LC represents a shift in Lexus' engineering processes and design ideologies, and marks the beginning of a new phase for the Lexus brand. Its outstanding visual appeal has been unanimously praised following the Detroit reveal, and recognized by professionals who granted LC EyesOn Design awards for Production Car and Best Designed Interior at the 2016 NAIAS. Lexus will also display the LF-FC concept at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show.
Cars most likely to be involved in accidents
Tue, Nov 30 2021Data from Insurify shows which models have the most accident-prone drivers behind the wheel. It also shows the proportion of the drivers of said vehicles with an at-fault accident on record in the past seven years, based on Insurify’s analysis of over 4 million car insurance applications. For reference, the national average is 10.78%, and each of these vehiclesÂ’ drivers represent a statistically significant increase over that. Now, it would be easy to infer that these cars are dangerous, but such is not necessarily the case. Remember, drivers cause accidents, not cars. These just happen to be the cars that accident-prone drivers drive. YouÂ’ll notice that many are mainstream, affordable cars, often with decent crash ratings. Also keep in mind that vehicle accidents are up since the beginning of the pandemic, so no matter what you drive, please drive safely. 10. Hyundai Ioniq This affordable, electrified vehicle platform sneaks into this list with 14.45% of drivers with a recent at-fault accident on record. 9. Lexus CT Another hybrid, this Prius-powered Lexus beats the national average at 14.57%. 8. Toyota Prius V Yet another hybrid, the larger but discontinued member of the Prius family sees 14.72% of its drivers with recent accidents. 7. Mazda CX-3 The Mazda CX-3, which is discontinued for the 2022 model year, sees the accident-prone making up 14.9% of its drivers. 6. Infiniti Q60 The second and final luxury car on this list has more accident-prone drivers than average, at 14.93%. 5. Subaru Impreza The first of two Subarus on this list has 15.1% of drivers with recent accidents on record. 4. Hyundai Genesis Coupe The Genesis Coupe was only on the market for a brief span before it was discontinued and Genesis spun off into its own luxury brand. That said, it too beats the national average for accidents, at 15.29%. 3. Subaru WRX Despite its standard all-wheel drive, the boy-racer WRX has 15.44% of drivers with a prior accident in the last seven years. 2. Kia Stinger We love the Kia Stinger, and had great luck with our long-termer that graced the Autoblog garage for a year. That said, 15.75% of its drivers represent have a recent accident on record. 1. Scion FR-S This fun two-seater attracts the most accident prone drivers, with 15.87% with recent at-fault crashes.

Japanese dealer petitioning Lexus for luxury van [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Mar 2014Used 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.
