I am selling my 96 FZJ80 Lexus LX 450/Toyota Land Cruiser

NO RESERVE AUCTION!  High bid wins-------------

Only 151k CarFax certified miles. California car since new. NO rust. 

Yes, it has the DIFF LOCK option!

I bought this LX earlier this year after a long search for a clean, well kept, well maintained 80 series with Diff Locks.  I finally found this one pretty close to home just north of Santa Barbara. I am the 5th owner and the title is in name. Was going to keep this one long term but things change.  It's ready for a new home.  I have sold some very nice Land Cruisers and Toyota's here on eBay with 100% satisfaction. So bid with confidence. 

It's the champaign color scheme from Lexus with pretty much all the options available in 1996.  Running boards, roof rack (I removed the Lexus rack and added Yakima load bars, still have orig rack), tow package, 3rd row seats, Diff Lock, auto climate control, etc. 

It also has the CDL switch (center diff lock) added.  It's been very well maintained with extensive Lexus Dealership records and others.  Major items to note included: pesky heater hose replaced, valve cover gasket replaced, front axle rebuild, new distributor cap, spark plugs, plug wires and tube seals.  Newer brakes with slotted rotors on all four wheels. Recent service of the AC (blows cold).  Just serviced with oil change, filter and full lube. 

Within the last 2k miles I purchased an Old Man Emu 2.5" medium lift from Spector Off-Road and had it installed at my shop in Santa Barbara. Includes castor correction kit and Emu steering stabilizer.  Then I had an alignment done and installed new BFG All-Terrain TA 282/75r16 on the  stock Lexus alloys. New center caps (Toyota Logo) installed as well.  It rides incredible with this set up and looks great. All in it was well over $3,000 for these upgrades. 

The interior is almost in perfect condition. The power seats work perfectly. All electronics such as the power windows, locks, HVAC, etc work just as they should. The power button, 2nd gear start and overdrive buttons work perfect. The front, rear and center diff locks all work and engage as they should.  The radio, CD player work and sound great. Though the power antenna motor doesn't work and I replaced the aerial with a carbon stub. Looks pretty good The leather is near perfect and original. The only things to note would be a small "cut" or separation of the leather on the drivers seat right side back bolster and a little wear on the top of the steering wheel(I use a nice cover, you'll see in photos) and gear shift lever. Otherwise the interior is close to a 9 out of 10. Non smoking owners and smells like a Lexus. 

The paint is all original and overall in really great shape. Things to note include some clear coat fade on the top center of the hood and right rear fender flare (pretty minor). The left rear fender flare has a little worse fade, please see in detailed photos. Doesn't really bother me as I like the original paint aspect.  All original VIN stickers present.  No accident, paint or bodywork history.

So overall much less dings and fade than an average Land Cruiser/LX450 of this vintage. I've owned quite a few and this one is on the nicer side by far. 

It runs, drives, shifts, brakes, etc just as it should. Throws no codes and is a pleasure to drive. It's turn key and needs nothing.  This is most likely one of the nicer Land Cruiser/LX 450's on the market. 

Current California tag until February 2015.  Two Lexus keys, owners manual, Lexus OEM floor mats (fronts, center & rear) and few other extra parts included. Have the original Lexus coil springs if you want them.  On, the "D" light and the "overdrive" light are bulbs are burned out. 

As is where is sale. I offer no warranties expressed, written or implied. The Lexus has a clear title in my name. It's located in Santa Barbara, CA at my home. I'll happily pick you up at the Santa Barbara airport or train station and can assist with your transporter. 

Pre buy inspections are welcomed and encouraged BEFORE the auction ends. 

Please message me through eBay or for faster response call me at 805-415-2848 with any questions. My name is Patrick. 

Bidders with zero (0) or negative feedback please contact me prior to bidding or your bid could be canceled.

$500 deposit due immediately at close of auction via PayPal.  Balance due within 5 days via Wire Transfer, Bank Transfer or Cash.  Vehicle to be picked up in a timely manner hopefully within a week or so.

TMG Lexus LS Sports 650 destined for production after 2015?

Fri, 01 Nov 2013

There's little question that Lexus has succeeded in challenging its German rivals in the luxury marketplace. And with the LFA, it has proven that Japan can build a world-class supercar. What's left blank is the space in between.
Toyota Motorsport GmbH came up with a compelling answer in the form of the Sports 650 prototype, a Lexus LS with a 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 641 horsepower and other go-fast components to challenge the likes of the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG and Audi S8. Toyota boss Akio Toyoda was reportedly so impressed with the project that he initially ordered TMG to build ten examples - one for him and each of his nine best friends. But since the model on which the project was based has since been replaced, questions remain over the project's fate.
Georg Kacher - European correspondent for Automobile and Car magazines - recently drove the prototype and reports that "the project will now likely be transferred to the new model out in 2015." That could come down purely to speculation, but Kacher tends to get the inside line on industry news, so this particular bowl of gossip soup might not requite the usual grain of salt we otherwise might add.

Pontiac Aztek enjoys rebirth thanks to Millennials

Fri, Sep 11 2015

Apparently, Millennials – those between 18 and 34 – aren't afraid to look different on the road, and they like performance, too. A new study by Edmunds is discovering some surprising vehicle choices by this group. Among them, the long-derided Pontiac Aztek is getting a new day in the sun with 25.5 percent its buyers coming from this generation in the first half of 2015. For comparison, Millennials represent an average of 16.8 percent of used car purchases. The Aztek is slowly shaking its reputation as a styling abomination, which seems tied to its appearance on Breaking Bad. The show premiered in 2008, and the Pontiac has been on this list for four of the past five years, according to Edmunds. It even led the pack in 2010. A recent Retro Review from MotorWeek also showed that the crossover wasn't always so hated. While it's still a shock to see the Aztek on any popularity list, the awkward-looking crossover only ranks sixth among Millennials. The vehicle with the biggest portion of buyers from the generation is the Dodge Magnum with 27.6 percent. According to Edmunds, the bluntly styled wagon is especially popular in Detroit and Chicago. The Chrysler Pacifica comes in a close second at 27.3 percent. When it comes to used cars, value and utility appear to trump just about anything else for many Millennial buyers," Edmunds analyst Jeremy Acevedo said in the report. Young buyers aren't afraid of sporty rides, either. The Subaru WRX has 26.4 percent Millennial buyers to rank third place on the list, and the Volkswagen R32 takes fifth at 25.7 percent. Just a few points lower in seventh place is the Nissan GT-R at 25.4 percent, and the final performance machine in 10th place is the Lexus IS-F with 24.7 percent. Related Video:

World Car Awards finalists snub American-branded vehicles — except for Bronco

Fri, Feb 2 2024

The list of World Car Awards has been whittled down to 10 finalists, but only one American brand — Ford — appears among the remaining nine carmakers for this yearÂ’s top award. The Bronco is there, and it also is balloted as a finalist in the design category. The other categories are performance car, urban car, electric vehicle and luxury model. Each category has five finalists except World Car, which has 10. One brand conspicuous by its absence in any category: Tesla. The winner in each is scheduled to be crowned March 27 at the New York International Auto Show in Manhattan. This year marks the 20th year of the World Car Awards and the partnership with the New York show. The selection process involves 100-plus automotive journalists from 29 countries who vote, as they review and test-drive the eligible vehicles for the 2024 awards. Their journey is captured virtually on World Car TV. If youÂ’re counting, the brands that appear most on the six finals lists are Mercedes-Benz (four times), BMW (also four), Hyundai (three), and Volvo (three). HereÂ’s the full listing. A video clip showing all of them is here: World Car -BYD Seal / Atto 4 -Ford Bronco -Hyundai Kona / Kona Electric -Hyundai Santa Fe -Kia EV9 -Mazda CX-90 -Subaru Crosstrek -Toyota Prius -Volkswagen ID.7 -Volvo EX30 World Car Design of the Year Ford Bronco Ferrari Purosangue Toyota Prius Volvo EX30 Zeekr X 2024 World Electric Vehicle BMW i5 Kia EV9 Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV Volkswagen ID.7 Volvo EX30 2024 World Luxury Car - BMW 5 Series / i5 - Lexus LM - Mercedes-Benz CLE - Mercedes-Benz E-Class - Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV 2024 World Urban Car  - Abarth 500e - BYD Dolphin - Lexus LBX - Suzuki Fronx - Volvo EX30 2024 World Performance Car - BMW M2 - BMW XM - Ferrari Purosangue - Hyundai Ioniq 5 N - Porsche Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid
