Up for sale is a 1998 Lexus LS400. It's black/gray on black. Here are a few of the highlights:
- 87k miles
- Major accident free
- Upgraded Nakamichi audio
- 98-00 model years received more hp/tq (290/300) as well as a revised 5-speed transmission ( I average 25+ mpg on the highway with a 15-year old V8!)
Mechanically, the car has no current issues. However, it will be due for the 90k-mile water pump replacement soon. An oil change is also due in a few hundred miles, but I can have that done for the prospective buyer at no charge. The suspension feels soft, but I'm not sure if it's due to age or if that's just how an LS400 is supposed to ride. When I bought the car, the pre-purchase inspection noted the following items be replaced:
- Outer ball joints (not done)
- Strut bars (not done)
- Y-pipe (done 1/2/13)
- Serpentine belt (done 1/7/13)
- Passenger mirror motor (mirror assembly replaced 1/6/13)
I purchased the car from an individual in New York in December of 2012. It passed the pre-purchase inspection at Bay Ridge Lexus, so I drove it back to Baltimore with no problem. The work performed above was done to pass MD state inspection and I've had no issues with the car since then. The tires only have a few thousand miles on them, and are a full matching set of Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-2s. The brakes have full stopping power without fade or noise. The fluids are all within limits; all electrical items work as they should; all lights are functional. It is truly ready to drive anywhere.
To complete the sale, I require a Paypal deposit of $500 at the conclusion of the auction, with the remaining balance due within 7 days in the form of a cashier's check or wire transfer. The car will not leave my possession unless those terms have been met. Feel free to ask any questions and good luck!

Lexus: Make Some Noise
Mon, Feb 2 2015The 2015 NX is a seriously important vehicle for Lexus, as it not only moves the brand into a new segment, but pushes it towards a younger demographic. The Japanese brand's 2015 Super Bowl ad reflected these facts, with an expressive, stylish spot that focused on the aggressive lines of its new crossover. It's not a funny spot (which is kind of the modus operandi for Super Bowl ads), but it gets the turbocharged CUV out in front of the masses. Take a look at our full drive on the all-new NX200t.
New Lexus small CUV may have been behind moving ES production to Kentucky
Mon, 22 Apr 2013Lexus may have had another big reason - in addition to the financial incentives potentially worth up to $146.5 million that Kentucky offered - to move ES production to its Georgetown, KY plant. The ES has always been built in Japan, and a report at TheDetroitBureau.com claims that the Kyushu facility will be tooling up to build a new model thought to be a compact hybrid crossover expected to go on sale next year. While ES300h production would remain in Japan, shedding 50,000 units of traditional ES production would free capacity for what many think will be an important model in the Lexus lineup.
The new CUV will come in below the RX and be built on the platform of the RAV4. Speculation is that there will be an NX200t and an NX300h, the former possibly getting the 2.0-liter turbo Toyota engine due in 2014 - matching the predicted timeline for the CUV and supposedly also meant for an RX200t - and latter getting the same 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain in the ES300h. We'll see a preview of the Audi Q3 and BMW X1 fighter at this year's Tokyo Motor Show; the production version should be unveiled at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.
Post-earthquake, Toyota prepares to reopen some plants in Japan
Wed, Apr 20 2016Toyota will restart vehicle production at most of its closed factories in Japan next week, but the factories that build the Mirai and many Lexus models will remain closed through at least April 28 and possibly longer. The earthquakes around the city of Kumamoto on the island of Kyushu forced the automaker to stop most of its assembly throughout the country due to a lack of parts supply. Toyota will reopen the plants in phases from April 25 to 28. However, the Motomachi factory with its LFA works, which makes the Mirai, and the Miyata factory will remain closed. These sites also build the Lexus NX, RX, ES, GS, and CT, according to Toyota. The automaker didn't say when production would begin again or how this would affect vehicle supply. "In the update, we received this morning from TMC, they said that at this stage it is too soon to tell what the impact on production will be, so we can't say yet whether there might be vehicle shortages in the US," spokesperson Aaron Fowles told Autoblog. While the quakes were focused on Kyushu, they damaged Aisin Seiki factories, which supplied parts to Toyota plants across the country. The automaker worked with its partner to import the necessary components from China and Mexico, and Aisin started moving molds from the damaged plants to operational ones in Japan, which gets production under way sooner. Automotive News Europe estimates the week of lost production cuts total assembly by 90,000 vehicles. It could cost Toyota the equivalent of $458.2 million to $641.5 million. The company could make up some of the losses through overtime. Toyota says these plans are subject to change because on ongoing tremors in the region, which could cause more damage. Reuters reported there was a magnitude 5.5 aftershock in the Kumamoto area on April 19. So far, the quakes have killed at least 47 people and around 100,000 people have moved to evacuation centers. Toyota to Restart Production on Vehicle Assembly Lines in Japan from April 25 Apr. 20, 2016 Toyota City, Japan, April 20, 2016-Between April 25 and 28, Toyota will restart production on most of its vehicle assembly lines in Japan. On April 17, Toyota announced that, due to parts shortages resulting from the severe earthquakes that struck Japan's island of Kyushu last week, production would be suspended on almost all of its vehicle assembly lines in stages between April 18 and 23.
