*Note: We understand that there are those who think we should NOT use models in our ads. 

eBay has removed some of our ads from eBay siting we violate this policy. http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/search-manipulation.html   

I have read their policy, you can read their policy. 

eBay claims that we create an unfair search advantage by picturing models in our ads with our cars.

Even though the model & the car are pictured together, eBay claims we are picturing unrelated items with our cars to give us an advantage over other sellers.

eBay stated that I can only post pictures of the cars and cannot exercise any means to disadvantage other sellers from our potential buyers.

We understand that ALL of our pictures, information, details and presentation may potentially disadvantage sellers who don't equally present like vehicles in the same manner.

Our page views, bids, comments and messages, then ultimately the sale, definably prove an advantage to us when we list our own cars without models then later with a model.

eBay enforcing this policy that does not define the use of "models within ads" upon our presentation and not with others is discriminatory on so many levels.

Let's be clear, the models pictured with the cars are paid for the express purpose of showing off and presenting our cars. 

They are not included with the sale of the vehicles or available to go with the vehicles at any point during the presentation online.  

In other words, Models Not Included

But included with this sale, the winning bidder that does complete the transaction will receive all digital photographs of the car and the models showing with the car. 

 If there are any litigators that would like to advise me on how I am violating eBay's Policy, I'd love to hear from you.

One owner, 2002 Lexus IS300 SportCross wagon.  133,714 freeway miles, lifetime Henderson, Nevada vehicle.  Inline 6-cylinder engine, rear wheel drive, Xenon HID headlamps, premium audio with 6-disc in-dash changer, 8-way power driver and passenger seats, moon roof, chronograph instruments, chrome shift knob, Leather/Ecsaine Trim Package slotted/drilled rotors, red painted calipers, strut tower brace, white side marker lights, headlamp brows and dark tint.  Starts, runs and drives like new.  A/C blows cold, stereo sounds awesome and the car is an absolute gem to own and drive.  Looks and functions like a vehicle with half as many miles . . .

 

Rare quality condition for sure and this IS300 actually is rare.  Only 1,958 built for '02 and from 2002 to 2005 (years available) total SportCross production for all four years was just 3,078.  That means this bad boy will be worth like, a million dollars at some point in the future.  Probably several million . . .

No doubt about it, wagons are hot these days.  Body seams and panel alignment are tight, consistent and typically Lexus . . .

 

The SportCross's overall length is nearly identical to the sedan version but offers a lot more room in back and a lot more loading options . . .

 

Besides a much sleeker shape than the sedan, the SportCross comes with staggered wheels.  The sedan has 7-inch wide wheels front and rear but the wagon's rear wheels are a half inch wider, with one size up tires. (rear: 225/45ZR17 front: 215/45ZR17)

 

With a silky smooth inline six, sequential Sport Shift 5-speed automatic and rear wheel drive, the first generation IS was much desired when new and has been strong in the used car market ever since.  The SportCross brings a lot to the table (HIDs, killer audio, lots of seating/loading configurations) but another reason people want these so much is actually quite simple.  It's a Lexus; designed-in quality and built right in the first place.  This particular 2002 Lexus IS300 SportCross is a respected, high quality vehicle having just one previous owner that (obviously) loved and cared for their ride.  Never been in an accident, great body, outstanding paint, gorgeous interior and mechanical reliability.  You should buy it . . .

 

My wife and I took this little wagon to Utah a day after it arrived at our facility.  It was then my driver for about two weeks.  Besides impeccable reliability and near functional perfection during that time, some important fundamentals stood out and I think these things separate the IS300 from the rest of the herd.  Handling and balance of this car reminded me again and again why top sport sedans (and wagons!) are proper front engine/rear wheel drive and unlike most 6-cylinders these days, the IS300 is an inline six.  Why does that matter?  It mostly doesn't except it seems smoother, sounds better and I like how it feels.  The IS300 is surprisingly up-market, too.  When I turned on the lights, ice-white illumination told me this bad boy had HIDs.  Pretty cool, and the chronograph cluster was fun too.  Both seats are 8-way power adjustable, the optional stereo is strong and the air blew ice-cold the whole time.  I'll admit having small concern about taking an unknown vehicle on a trip so soon after getting it.  My past experience with the brand should have set my mind at ease.   Every Lexus I've ever known has been a superbly built car and this gem was no different.  It simply does not look, feel, drive or function like a "high mileage" vehicle in any way.  The above pictures are Saturday morning a few hours after our very late arrival the night before  The little wagon performed marvelously and we had a great time.  Made all the better with a comfortable car that had enough room for an occasional relative, and we didn't mind being seen in it.

                                                                                                  -Foy

 

Driver and passenger frontal/side airbags, 8-way power driver and passenger seats, automatic air conditioning, tilt steering, 240-watt/9-speaker premium audio with 6-disc in-dash changer, amplifier and equalizer.  All of it in great condition . . .

 

This SportCross has the Leather/Ecsaine Trim package which includes the suede seat inserts, power passenger seat and HomeLink universal transceiver . . .

 

The back offers lot of loading configurations and there's even a "hidden" covered storage bin just behind the rear seat.  Under everything is a full size spare tire mounted on a matching alloy wheel . . .

 

133,714 is actually extremely low mileage for a 12-year old car.  With barely 11k a year, this Lexus is well below industry average . . .

Lexus RC F GT3 Racing Concept is green-flag ready

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

Lexus is hardly the first brand that comes to mind when comes to motorsports. In fact, it's not even the first Japanese brand. But Toyota's premium marque is showing new signs of understanding that it will need to at least pay racing further lip service if it wants to be viewed as a more emotionally connected brand with the wherewithal to challenge the Germans on every level.
Lexus has already made it clear it wants to race its RC F coupe, and at least philosophically, the new model certainly strikes us as a more appropriate racecar conversion than the SC 430 that preceded it. This just-unveiled RC F GT3 Racing Concept looks properly menacing sitting on the carpet at the Geneva Motor Show, and it while it's officially labeled as a concept, it's a model Lexus promises will be made available to racing teams in 2015.
Designed run in Group GT3 events, this 2,756-pound coupe has a front-mounted V8 derived from the production RC F tuned to deliver over 540 horsepower. Lexus' plan is to commit to a season's worth of testing this year before building them to order, and we expect to see them in the Japan's Super GT and Super Taikyu Endurance series, along with endurance events like the 24 hours of Nürburgring.

2015 Lexus RC 350

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

Luxury coupes like this new, 2015 Lexus RC 350 have got, to my mind, a more challenging mission than their all-out-performance variants; in this case, the recently reviewed RC F.
That's not to say that I think actual owners and shoppers of cars like the RC F, BMW M4 and Cadillac CTS-V Coupe only care about output figures and lap times. In fact I'd say that those are outliers in terms of how they get used most often. But the story that we reviewers tell - and that shoppers in the ego-boosted segment tell themselves before they pull the trigger - have a lot to do with what the car is capable of on the edge of its envelope.
Mainstream coupes can't rely on that kind of irrational pull, however, at least outside of the emotional world of styling persuasion. For a buyer to drop more than $40,000 on the RC 350, he or she will want tons of features, comfort, good looks, and, yes, a dash of sportiness to spice of the pot. Reason and desire seem a lot more balanced here. That's great news for Lexus, with its history of creating sensible luxury cars and a pretty composed luxury coupe in this new RC.

BMW-Toyota partnership to spawn hybrid supercar

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

BMW and Toyota inked a partnership some time ago to develop green technology, and while we were excited by the idea of a reborn Supra with BMW's carbon fiber reinforced plastic slashing the curb weight or an ultra-efficient, hybridized 1 Series, the joint efforts have been rather limited. That's set to change, though, according to a report from Australia.
Motoring reports that the partners have come to terms on a sports car. And not just any sports car, but a lightweight, hybridized model, with a six-figure price tag. Lending a bit of street cred to that idea is the site's claim that Toyota is currently carrying out durability testing on the BMW i8. According to the site, the new model will slot into the spot left by the Lexus LFA, although based on the language used, it's unclear if this is the Tokyo-bound vehicle we mentioned several months ago.
Details on this potential car are limited, although Motoring claims it will use a Toyota hybrid system mated up to a BMW gas engine - likely the 4.4-liter, twin-turbo V8 found in the M5 and M6. That sounds pretty amazing to us, but we'd still advise taking this with a grain of salt. What would you like to see out of a joint-venture supercar from Toyota and BMW? Let us know in Comments, and have your say on the prospects of a hybridized, twin-turbocharged V8.
