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.

Toyota sold record 1.52 million hybrids in 2017

Fri, Feb 2 2018

Toyota has been selling electrified cars for more than two decades now, launching the Prius hybrid in Japan in 1997. Back in the fall of 2015, the automaker announced a number of goals as part of its "Environmental Challenge 2050." One of those was to sell 1.5 million hybrids (including its Lexus brand) annually by 2020. Toyota has announced that is has already achieved that goal, selling 1.52 electrified vehicles in 2017. That's an 8 percent increase of Toyota's 2016 hybrid sales, and means the company has sold more than 11.47 million electrified vehicles since it began. Toyota says that represents a reduction of more than 90 million tons of CO2. Last year's achievement "is a testament from our customers to the quality, durability and reliability of our electrified powertrains," says Toyota Executive VP Shigeki Terashi, "and, thanks to them, has led us to establish a solid and sustainable foundation for mass producing a more diverse portfolio of electrified vehicles across our range moving forward." Other goals of Toyota's Environmental Challenge 2050 are 30,000 annual fuel cell vehicle sales by 2020, mass production of battery electric vehicles in 2020 and annual electrified vehicle sales of 5.5 million by 2030. These are all part of Toyota's larger goal of reducing new vehicle CO2 emissions by 90 percent by 2050 (compared to 2010). Prior to 2016, Toyota hybrid sales peaked in 2013, at 1.28 million before slumping slightly in 2014 and 2015. Toyota saw an uptick and a new record in 2016, at 1.4 million, before setting yet another record in 2017, at 1.52 million. Related Video:

2018 Lexus LX 570 drops $5,000 in new 2-row trim

Wed, Nov 29 2017

People love SUVs and crossovers, but not everyone uses them to haul a litter of children and a couple of pets. At this year's Los Angeles Auto Show, Lexus has debuted the two-row LX 570. The updated model ditches the third row, helping expand cargo capacity by 15 percent without the need to deal with removing the seats. The two-row model comes in a single mono-spec trim, dropping the base price to $86,175, which is $5,000 less than the three-row model. The mono-spec trim of the two-row LX means customers only have the choice of exterior and interior colors. Customers still get a full-leather interior, four-zone automatic climate control, power tailgate, roof rails, a moonroof and 20-inch wheels. Parking assist, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are all standard. Cameras on the outside help show blind spots when parking or off-roading. The new model also comes with Lexus's Enform Safety Connect service for 10 years. Customers can call in case of an emergency anytime day or night. The new variant still comes with all of the Toyota Land Cruiser-sourced goodness as the standard LX 570. That means a 5.7-liter V8 making 383 horsepower and 403 pound-feet of torque, giving the Lexus a 7,000-pound tow rating. The body-on-frame SUV comes with full-time four-wheel drive and Lexus's Active Traction Control system and Multi-Terrain Select system to handle wheel slip on various road surfaces. Other off-road systems include crawl control and hill-start assist. The two-row 2018 Lexus LX 570 goes on sale next year. Related Video:

Best places to get your car maintained and repaired

Wed, May 1 2024

In this era of rampant inflation and high interest rates, the challenges of acquiring a car or SUV have been well documented. And so it has never been more important to protect that expensive investment by maintaining it. In recent months, Autoblog has shared Consumer Reports' evaluation of the least and most expensive car brands to keep running, as well as tips to prolong a car’s useful life. Especially since the pandemic, a number of factors have impacted these costs: more complex vehicles, new materials and manufacturing methods, a shortage of qualified technicians and replacement parts. Since 2022, repairs costs have jumped each year by about 10 percent. This month, Consumer Reports is offering a useful primer on keeping your ride in great shape, suggesting what might be the best options for searching out a repair shop, depending, as CR says, “on your car and your situation.” Author Ben Preston identifies three basic types of repair facilities: dealership service departments, independently owned repair shops, and chain repair shops. Building up trust with a specific shop and feeling comfortable going there is important. Preston quotes John Ibbotson, chief mechanic at Consumer ReportsÂ’ Auto Test Center: "You might be able to save a few bucks by going to whichever shop offers the cheapest prices, but if you want consistent, reliable service, itÂ’s best to find a repair shop you trust and stick with it,” Ibbotson says. The story goes on to evaluate each type of service facility. HereÂ’s a breakdown of CRÂ’s findings: Dealerships These work well for owners of newer cars, especially for covered warranty work. But the disadvantage is the high labor rates common to dealer service. Satisfaction ratings for dealer service departments range from very good (Acura, Lexus, Mazda, and Volvo) to not-so-good (Jeep and Kia). Dealers are best for: Fixing infotainment system glitches: "If the screen in the center of your dash has a habit of freezing up, or the touchscreen-activated climate controls arenÂ’t working, the dealership is the most likely place to find someone with the know-how to fix problems that maybe only a factory-authorized technician can access," Ibbotson says. Safety system recalibration: "Anything from a crack in your windshield to a minor fender dent can upset the calibration of the sensors that make features like automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise control work," says Ibbotson.
