Up for sale is my mint 2010 Lexus IS-F.  It's finished in the best color, Matador Mica Red over black leather interior.  The car is fully loaded except for park assist.  It has been dealer maintained it's entire life and had every oil change done at a Lexus dealer.  Absolutely no issues and has been remarkably reliable with zero issues in the time i've owned it.  I'm extremely anal retentive and pride myself on keeping my cars very clean.  The leather interior is cleaned and conditioned every other week.  The car is washed once or twice a week using the two bucket method and a foam gun to ensure no swirls or scratches are put into the paint during cleaning.  As you can see from the pictures the paint is gorgeous and looks like a red mirror.  It gets a paint correction every 6 months to keep it looking perfect.  In the sun it's truly incredible and turns heads.  By far the best color for the IS-F (though i'm obviously biased).  Car includes 2 sets of floor mats (one brand new) and one original set as well as a ISF sunshade from Sewell Lexus.

With so many 08 and 09 IS-F's on the market at sub 40k prices it's prudent to explain why the 2010 is worth the extra coin for those who haven't researched these cars.  The differences for the 2010 IS-F are as follows:
  • Hard Drive Based Navigation (Upgradeable via USB with Lexus Map updates).  Not DVD based like the old ISF.  Interface and maps are much more high-res.
  • USB/Ipod/Bluetooth Integration
  • True Mechanical LSD (not "e-LSD" that is terrible).  The acceleration from a dig or out of corners is entirely changed.  Transforms the car on and off the track (though my car has never been tracked).
  • Revised Suspension
  • New Sport Steering Configuration
  • Black Interior Trim Around Navigation
  • New Wheel Design
Overall the 2010's are the first revised version of the IS-F and a distinct upgrade compared to the 2008/9.  The 08/09's were also susceptible to navigation failure as well as waterpump leaking.  The waterpump on this car was pre-emptively replaced by Lexus with the new version under warranty to protect against this possibility in the future. 

The car is being offered up with a low reserve realistic for a car with these amount of miles and in this condition.  If you want a cared for car that will give you no trouble this is the one.  It is enthusiast owned and only being sold to move into a GTR.  I truly love this car and it's a spectacular all-rounder that can hang with the M3 and C63 without the reliability nightmare and maintenance costs and liability.  I work from home so it's not daily driven by only taken out as more of a weekend car.  It's garage kept, warmed up fully, and only used in manual mode after the transmission is warmed up to "2 bars".  This is not a car that has beaten or abused in any way. 

Car is available for inspection by 3rd party or PPI.  A 1000.00 non-refundable deposit is due via Paypal or wire within 24 hours of the auction close.  I reserve the right to end the auction for a local sale.

2019 Toyota Avalon vs. full-size sedans: How they compare on paper

Mon, Apr 23 2018

Full-size sedans aren't exactly in great demand at the moment, and at least one of the vehicles in this comparison has been rumored to be on the endangered species list. Yet, we've just had our first drive in the 2019 Toyota Avalon, and if anything has a chance of rejuvenating the segment a bit, it's an all-new version of what has long been the segment's benchmark. To see how the new Avalon compares, we've put together the below spreadsheet featuring the Avalon's primary apples-to-apples rivals, the Buick LaCrosse and Chevy Impala. We also included the Nissan Maxima, which is comparable in price, sales and non-luxury badge, and which offers the sort of increased driver engagement promised by the new Avalon XSE and Touring trim levels. We also included the outgoing Avalon for reference as well as that car's luxury cousin, the Lexus ES, which can definitely be cross-shopped with the luxuriously trimmed Avalon Limited. You can use our Compare Cars tool to create your own comparison, such as one featuring the rear-wheel-drive Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger or even Kia Stinger. Alright, enough chit chat. On to the spreadsheet. Performance and fuel economy The GM sedans may come standard with four cylinders, including a mild hybrid system in the LaCrosse, but puh-lease. The V6 is the name of the game in this segment, with outputs now surpassing the 300-horsepower mark. The LaCrosse is the horsepower and torque champ, though it also weighs a bit more than the new 2019 Avalon, so acceleration is likely to be comparable. The Impala weighs a lot more and has only a six-speed automatic, so despite having a wee bit more power, one should expect it to be pokier (not a good sign for a car rumored to be on the chopping block). One would expect the Maxima's 300 hp and lowest curb weight to result in the quickest acceleration, but then it's also strapped to a CVT, which despite being better than ever, is still a CVT. Things get worse for Chevy when you consider the Impala's base four-cylinder gets the same 25 mpg combined as the Avalon's V6 — once again a segment best. Now, should you really prioritize fuel economy, the 2019 Toyota Avalon Hybrid really stands out with a 43 mpg rating (or 44 with the base XLE trim) that bests the outgoing Avalon Hybrid. Honestly, after driving this new Hybrid, it actually seems like it would be the best bet for most buyers. There's sufficient power, and it only costs $1,000 more than the comparable V6 version.

Lexus parts prices cut in China amidst antitrust fears

Mon, 25 Aug 2014

It's been a topsy-turvy summer for foreign businesses in China ever since that country's National Development and Reform Commission and State Administration for Industry & Commerce launched a horde of investigations into anti-monopoly practices. When the law outlining monopolistic behavior was passed in 2008 foreign companies appreciated it, expecting it to illuminate some of the more opaque corners of Chinese government enforcement. That hasn't exactly been the case, and now as more than 1,000 auto-sector firms get investigated and pay huge fines to settle the nebulous charge of having prices that are too high, that hoped-for clarity is all but gone.
A recent news report said Audi, Chrysler and Daimler "would be punished for unspecified violations" concerning the prices of spare parts. Earlier this month Toyota said that Lexus China was being looked at, and before there's been any public notification of punishment Lexus has decided to lower the price of its replacement parts. From next month, customers will save an average of 26 percent on roughly 15,000 parts. It's unknown whether the move will appease authorities enough to end the investigation, which outside analysts have said targets foreign firms in China over domestic industry.

2015 Lexus LS gets tiny tweaks to try to keep up in LA

Thu, Nov 20 2014

The 2015 model-year updates for the LS are certainly minor, but at least Lexus isn't letting its flagship sedan languish completely. The biggest change for the revised model is an improved infotainment system with an updated navigation and dynamic guidelines for the backup camera. Lexus' Enform App Suite also allows owners to remotely control some of the vehicle's functions, including the door locks, ignition and climate control settings. Among the litany of incredibly small tweaks, the dome lights now use LEDs, and the F Sport model that includes features like a sport-tuned air suspension and 19-inch forged wheels gets an added badge at the rear. The changes have increased the turning circle by 3.9 inches for models with the standard suspension and 18-inch wheels. All of the changes are definitely minor, but hopefully they'll sustain the posh motor until its next iteration is ready. 2015 Lexus LS Shows Why This Luxury Flagship Became A Luxury Legend - New Multimedia System for 2015 - Lexus Enform App Suite Upgraded - Upgraded Backup Camera With Dynamic Gridlines - F SPORT Model With Special Suspension, 19-inch Wheels, Brembo Brakes October 16, 2014 History seems to be repeating itself. The Lexus LS upended the luxury segment a quarter-century ago, and one reason was that it made a powerful V8 engine standard when it was a very expensive extra-cost option in some European models and not even available in others. Just change the year to 2015, and the situation seems to be replaying. A supremely smooth, standard 386-horsepower 4.6-liter V8 teamed with an eight-speed automatic transmission is only one facet of the 2015 Lexus LS 460, though undeniably, it's the one whose benefit you feel quite strongly during a road test. Nearly silent acceleration remains a hallmark aspect of driving a Lexus LS, which also offers the option of a more engaging driving experience with the F SPORT Package. A wide range of model choices also make the Lexus LS a standout. The LS 460 comes in regular and long-wheelbase versions, each with the further choice of rear-wheel drive or all-weather drive (360 hp with AWD). The ultimate Lexus flagship sedan remains the LS 600h L hybrid with 438 total system horsepower from a 5-liter V8 paired with an electric motor and all-weather drive. New for 2015, the LS gains a new multimedia system. The multimedia system, accessed through the navigation screen, provides a multitude of capabilities.
