Beautiful 1998 Lexus LS400

Up for your consideration is a very clean 1998 Lexus LS400 in Antique Sterling Metallic. 

Maintenance and Exterior

The car is fantastic mechanical shape and has low miles. I get amazing gas mileage and really baby the car. You can see from the photo I am averaging around 25 mpg. I am usually anywhere from 22-25 mpg. The major service (timing belt, etc.) was done at 89,800 miles (see photo). In the past week I just found out the car needs a O2 sensor but everything else checks out great. 

As far as fluids go, I run Amsoil synthetic oil because it is the best. I just had the transmission drained and replaced with Amsoil tranny fluid. 

The prior owner had most of the car's service done at Rohrich Lexus. After I purchased the car, I had the service done at Dorschel Lexus.

There is no rust on the car other than where there are a couple of rock chips. I planned to get that fixed if I decided to keep the car. Look at the undercarriage pictures ... the car is extremely clean. 

I have two sets of rims ... the platinum edition rims you see in the pictures and the original five-star type wheels with lug covers.


Interior

The interior is really sweet. I use Leatherique on the leather which restored the stiff headrests and other areas back to supple leather. Lexus leather is the best and I used the best stuff on the planet to care for it. I have carpeted floor mats as well as custom made Lloyds RubberTite floor mats in matching gray. Look at the photos you can tell the car is treated well.

Issues

As with any car (and especially one that is 15-years old), one should expect some wear and tear. There are a few rock chips on the hood will need some attention. I took a photo so you may see. There are few dings and scratches as well as a small chip in the windshield that hasn't spread. For the age of the car, I think it is in great condition especially mechanically.

If you weren't aware, this car is sold "as is" without any warranties expressed or implied. I have tried to represent this car to the best of my abilities. I am not a mechanic or an automobile professional so caveat emptor.

With all that being said, I really find this car to be the best I have ever owned. It is smooth, refined and just exudes class in an understated way. I the title to the car in hand.

Please contact me through ebay with any questions you may have. Best of luck and happy bidding!

2015 Lexus NX 300h

Mon, 14 Jul 2014

With so much hullabaloo being made over the first gasoline turbocharged engine produced by Lexus, it's easy to forget that there's another option for those who'd rather (barely) hear the whirring of electric motors than the high-pitched whizzing of turbos. That's too bad, because we think the NX 300h is one of the more interesting hybrids on the market, due in large part to its innovative all-wheel-drive system and relatively sporty driving dynamics. We spent several hours with the brand-new hybrid crossover from Lexus, and we came away with plenty to talk about.
Driving Notes
Of course, the big thing that differentiates the 300h from the 200t is its drivetrain. In place of the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder sits a 2.5-liter gasoline engine that runs exclusively on the Atkinson cycle to save fuel, augmented by a pair of electric motors and mated to an electronic continuously variable transmission. Lexus is no stranger to hybrids, buoyed by parent company Toyota's expertise, and the basic setup used by the NX 300h is a well-known quantity shared with the ES 300h.

Lexus puts the 2.0T into the Euro-market RC Coupe

Mon, Aug 3 2015

The Lexus IS got the brand's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder to become the IS 200t. So it is with the Lexus RC in Europe, which gets the engine swap in Europe and as the RC 200t becomes the entry level model in the range. It goes on sale over there at the end of this year, and is predicted to make its way here eventually. The engine is rated the same in this application as in the IS: 241 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, working through an eight-speed transmission for a 0-62 mile-per-hour time of 7.5 seconds. It can be picked out by its smaller wheels and the lack of aggressive bodywork. Lexus will offer an F-Sport package that restores some muscularity. Better still is the available Torsen limited-slip differential and the adaptive variable suspension for improved handling. We don't have the entry-level coupes here like the Euro-market BMW 420i, which would be a good competitor for the RC 200t. In our market base competitors like the BMW 428i, Audi A5, and Cadillac ATS, all fitted with 2.0-liter engines, are faster, and will most likely be lighter and might be less expensive than the RC 200t. That looks like it will make the Lexus offering best for buyers who already want to get into the line but at a friendlier price. The press release below has more info.

Mated to an 8-speed Sport Direct Shift (SPDS) transmission, the turbo unit adopts numerous sophisticated engine technologies to offer drivers an engaging combination of smoothness, turbo-lag-free throttle responsiveness and fuel-efficiency. The superior driving dynamics of the new RC 200t may be further enhanced through the availability of an F SPORT version, which is equipped with a Torsen Limited Slip Differential. Together with the already announced RC 300h, the new RC 200t go on sale throughout Europe at the end of the year.

Lexus: Let's Play

Mon, Feb 2 2015

Lexus opted to air a second ad during the 2015 Super Bowl, this time featuring its 2015 RC350 coupe. There is much drifting, both with a remote-controlled RC (yes, an RC RC, which is kind of the whole joke) and the full-sized, 306-horsepower coupe. It's a fairly creative spot and entertaining spot, so give it a look. You can check out our impressions of the new RC in our comprehensive First Drive.
