This LS 400 is the cleanest, straightest most meticulously cared for vehicle I have ever owned, period, and I've been dealing in used cars for 30 years. You won't believe how nice this car is.  The pictures look great but in person it's even better.  This beauty truly drives and runs literally like a 50,000 mile car. No rattles or clunks with this ride!  Just arguably the smoothest riding and driving luxury sedan you can buy.  No surprizes on this one. Everything thing works like it did when it was driven off the Lexus dealership in Cincinatti Ohio back in 2000. The a/c is cold, all the power options work, the six cd changer and stereo sounds great, the seats are soft and supple without any cuts or tears, and even the foam is not flattened or misshapened nor is the leather worn on the driver's seat!  The factory original mats are in excellent shape as the pics show, with out any worn spots or stains. and the rear seat looks like it has hardly been set in.  It has a new Interstate battery and the tires and brakes are 90% and very smooth.  I could go on and on but I think you get the picture. I don't think this car was ever driven in winter and was always garaged when not being driven. The only thing that I've had to do was change the oil.

When I stumbled across this LS on the website of a dealer that I knew and trusted , I told Hap at Stricker's in Bativia Ohio that if it's as nice in person as it is in the pictures I'll takeit and of course it was!  (thanks Hap!)

 I have pictures of the car before it was fixed (flawlessly I might add) and can send them to anyone who wants to see the extent of the damage.. No airbags were deployed and the fenders were not damaged.  Only the hood ,bumper, grill and upper radiator support along with radiator and the condenser were  replaced.  You cant find a flaw in the new paint work or the original paint save for a slight mar on the rear bumper cover that doesn't show up in in the pictures. It's that nice. If this car is not exactly as I have described it here, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY IT.  I say that because I know that one walk-around and a test drive and you'll agree that this is one very nice luxury automobile! I had to literally "pry" this Lexus out of my wife's hands.  We have driven this car about 3,500 miles with out any problems whatsoever. I do have the car advertised locally and will end the listing early in the event it sells.  If I don't sell it I'll put it in the garage 'til spring and my wife will drive an suv for the next few months. (That would make her happy!)  BTW, This car with the 5 speed overdrive automatic transmission at strictly highway speeds got an amazing 27 MPG on a trip to Michigan!  Mixed driving in our area we've averaged around 22 MPG. Beats folding yourself up in a little compact car so you can get a few more highway miles huh? Call Bob at : 419-234-7347 or email me thru ebay messaging and we can help you make this Lexus your Lexus.  Thanks and good luck.

Did Lexus make a BMW? Or did BMW make a Lexus? This and other 2017 surprises

Fri, Dec 29 2017

It's that time of year again. The calendar is about to reach its end, Star Trek Cats 2018 is about to take its place, and I'm reflecting about all the cars that graced my driveway this year or summoned me to exotic places. You know, like Stuttgart or Phoenix. In 2017, I drove at least 57, and as I perused the list of them, I started to notice a common refrain: "This car surprised me." Most were pleasant surprises, but there were a few head scratchers and facepalms for good measure. In both cases, it was generally the result of car companies seemingly trying to break out of an existing mold. Nowhere was that more apparent than the pair of Lexuses slathered in Infrared paint: The LS 500 that left me this week and the LC 500 that was my favorite car of 2017. Though Lexus has been trying to shake its crusty, gold-packaged reputation for some time now, its efforts always seemed like an old man choosing Hollister to redo his wardrobe after realizing it hasn't been updated since 1987. I fell in love with the LC, genuinely floored by its near-perfect take on the GT. It's characterful in sound, appearance and tactility. It was at home in the city, in the mountain and on the open road. It was both comfortable and thrilling, and after driving the mechanically related LS 500, I can report that the LC's talents aren't an outlier. The LS 500's turbo V6 may make different noises than the LC's naturally aspirated V8, but it nevertheless invigorates the cabin when the car is placed in Sport+ mode. The steering is truly communicative, body motions are kept in miraculous check, and I absolutely forgot I was in an enormous luxury limo ... and a Lexus one at that. It was everything that the BMW 530e was not. I drove that on the exact same roads and was utterly bored the entire time. Generally doughy, lifeless steering, more distant than Planet 9. And no, the plug-in hybrid powertrain had nothing to do with that. At least it shouldn't. The Porsche Panamera S e-Hybrid I also drove this year proves that, as do the Hyundai Ioniqs, which are surprisingly adept and fun little cars regardless of what powers their wheels (Hyundai + hybrid = fun really blew me away). I would drive that Lexus LS F Sport over the BMW 5 Series any day of the week, which seems like a shocking thing to say in relation to either car. While Lexus is seemingly breaking out of its old crusty mold, BMW seems to be climbing into one.

Lexus IS 200t gets a 245 hp turbo four-cylinder, comes here in 2016

Mon, Jun 29 2015

The exact timing isn't clear, but now that we have the good news we're ok with a little wait: in Europe Lexus just replaced the 2.5-liter V6 in the IS 250 with its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, and we'll get it. The 2.0-liter currently serves in the NX 200t, putting out 235 horsepower and 258 pound-feet. Car and Driver says it will be tuned differently for what will become the IS 200t, with an output of 241 hp and 258 lb-ft. Those numbers whoop the 2.5-liter V6 by 37 hp and 73 lb-ft, and they're just 65 hp and 19 lb-ft under the 3.5-liter V6 in the much more popular IS 350. Improvements continue in the transmission, the IS 200t getting eight cogs - there won't be a manual option - instead of the six-speed 'box mated to the 2.5-liter now. That means buyers can expect a car that's not only more powerful and more responsive, addressing the two fundamental omissions in the IS 250's list of talents, it will also get better fuel economy than the 21 city, 30 highway miles per gallon the old six-cylinder musters. What they can't expect according to CD is all-wheel drive. We're told the engine swap should come "in the early part of the 2016 model year," and it will only come with rear-wheel drive. C/D says that Lexus will bring a third engine to the range that will power an all-wheel entry, which seems a tad complex to us, but if true it wouldn't be the first time the words "Lexus" and "complex" have cozied up together. A press release from Lexus Europe is below. LEXUS TO LAUNCH IS 200t WITH INNOVATIVE 2.0l TURBO PETROL ENGINE • New turbo engine offers superior smoothness and responsiveness, with no turbo-lag and high fuel efficiency • Engine mated to 8-speed Sport Direct Shift transmission • IS 200t on sale in Europe as from September 2015 Brussels, Belgium, 26 Jun 2015 - Lexus is expanding the range of vehicle equipped with its new 2.0-litre turbo engine. Following the launch of NX 200t in early 2015 and the announced arrival of RX 200t by the end of the year, IS is the third Lexus model to be fitted with this new engine. Powered by a new 2.0-litre petrol turbo engine – with innovative D-4ST fuel injection technology for both fuel economy and instantaneous torque – the Lexus IS 200t sports sedan delivers 245 DIN hp (180kW) with a maximum torque of 350 Nm. Capable of rapid acceleration up to a top speed of 230 km/h, its 8-speed Sport Direct Shift transmission was developed for the high-performance RC F.

Chevy Camaro ZL1, Lexus LFA celebrate National Donut Day

Fri, 07 Jun 2013

Happy National Donut Day, everyone! While some of us may have already celebrated this high-caloric holiday at our local Dunkin' Donuts or Tim Horton's, Chevrolet and Lexus have taken the opportunity to offer us delicious donuts of a different sort. Using a "professional donut maker" and a 2013 Camaro ZL1, Chevy has released a video of its 580-horsepower coupe laying down some serious rubber. Lexus has countered with its LFA supercar and, oddly, LPGA pro golfer Natalie Gulbis.
Just like many of the donut chains across the country, Chevy and Lexus are giving away these donuts for free. Not only do their donuts contain zero fat, they're also easily enjoyable over the Internet, albeit nowhere near as tasty as a Krispy Kreme. Scroll down to enjoy both videos.
