Hello, up for sale is a 1997 Lexus LX450 with around 181,000 miles and in a great reliable running condition. I purchased this vehicle about 12 years ago with around 70,000 miles in Chicago IL and I'm the second owner. Through out the time that I have owned it, the only major repairs done have been the starter and window shield wiper motor. Thats right, I'm really being honest, these are the only repairs done since I owned it. Through out my time of ownership it has been maintained regularly with standard oil changes, air filter, tires, and battery. For about a half a dozen times I traveled with it on trips ranging around 1000 miles. Having purchased it in Chicago, 6 years later I moved to Texas where it has been driven through a less stressful environment instead through stop and go city traffic. Currently its not my daily driver because it does eat up about 16 highway miles to the gallon and instead I currently drive a more fuel efficient mini van. It has a trailer hitch bar on the back of it, which I'v only used twice. Here is a list of note worthy info about its condition:


Air conditioning filter needs to be replace, currently its not working because of that. 

Having been in Texas for the past 6 years, the sun has eaten away the paints clear coat on the front hood and sides. (please check pictures)

The leather inside has small cracks but no rips, its still in great shape.

The engine is a unique in line 6 cylinder that has never had any signs of oil leakage or transmission leaks. 

The check engine light is on and after taking it to Autozone I was told that one of the oxygen sensors needed to be replaced. 

Part of this oxygen sensor issue has a connection with the muffler repairs that are needed. There is a small noise coming out of the exhaust but the repair for it is nothing major. Any muffler shop would be able to take care of this issue and it seems that it just needs new muffler piping and welding. This does not have any major effect of its driving performance and its still a reliable drive but its a normal wear and tear repair that needs to be done on it. I haven't had time and money...

The tiers are BF Goodrich and have been purchased about a year ago but are still in great shape with not a lot of miles on it them. 

The battery is fairly new, bought it 6 months ago. 

Overall this Lexus has served me well and the next owner will not be disappointed. This vehicle has been one of the most reliable and durable rides ever built by Lexus (Toyota Land Cruiser) these rides do not brake down. These vehicles were built to last and I still see them around with many of them being sold with over 250,000 miles and still run great. I wish there was a way to truly show ones honesty on this listing because has the seller/owner I'm not trying to make a huge capital gain but on the other hand I want to sell this a reasonable price, after all I purchased it for $28,000 back in 2000. I'm at a time where I would prefer having the cash around instead of the vehicle. 

The starting bid is $4,000 and I am located in McGregor Texas 76657, about 15 minutes away from Waco. If you have any questions or would like to come and check it out in person feel free to send me a message and we could arrange to meet up. I would prefer we meet in Waco with the vehicle for a test drive. With that said thank you for your interest and I hope this is the right vehicle for you.

Lexus apologizes for anti-EV ad, Plug In America calls it 'outdated'

Mon, May 12 2014

Anyone who's spent any time learning about the alternatives to the standard fossil fuel-burning internal combustion engine knows that there are arguments to be made for and against all of the main options. They also know that there is barely any refueling infrastructure for hydrogen fuel cell cars in the US, aside form a handful of H2 stations in California and one in South Carolina. Somehow, though Lexus, recently said there was an "established infrastructure" in 20 states in an online video ad on the company's official site. Another part of that site also made unfair negative comments about battery-powered electric vehicles, saying that it takes too long to charge the cars. Read our original post on the matter here. In the ongoing discussion about how the US moves away from inefficient gas and diesel engines, this was seen as a real muck up of the facts. Upon seeing the videos, pro-electric vehicle group Plug In America released a statement to AutoblogGreen (Lexus is owned by Toyota): Hey, Toyota, the 1990s called. They want their outdated anti-EV attack ad back. Plug-in electric vehicles charge while you're sleeping at home, far more convenient than making a trip to a gas station and coming away smelling like carcinogens. Driving on electricity costs about one fifth what it costs to drive the average gas car and about a third what it costs to drive the most efficient hybrid. An electric drive has smooth, instant acceleration which can't be matched by any gasoline engine. If you don't believe me, just ask anyone driving a Toyota RAV4 EV. The videos were produced by Team One, Lexus' ad agency. Exactly where the information came from and how it made it to the website is unclear, but Lexus spokesman Moe Durand said that Lexus apologizes for offending anyone and has taken the incorrect videos down. The company will review all the materials and alter and adjust the campaign as necessary, he said.

Next-gen Lexus IS design revealed to be swoopiest yet

Wed, 09 Jan 2013

We drove it while it was covered in cloth and vinyl not long ago, but before the 2014 Lexus IS350 F-Sport gets revealed at the Detroit Auto Show and we find out everything about it, Lexus has graced us with images. In addition to the spindle grille - with an elevated waistline on the F-Sport - the coming IS gets a jagged set of dual-beam headlights with L-shaped DRLs that are, for the first time on a Lexus, separate from the main units. Further back, the side sills get a twist and intense sculpting throughout the length of the longer wheelbase.
Inside is an LFA-inspired cockpit with thinner sport seats and more room in just about every area, the moving "driver's meter" in the dash cluster, electrostatic controls for cabin temperature control, 60/40 folding rear seats and "metal film 3-D-effect ornamentation."
The F-Sport package will be available on the IS250, IS350, IS300h equipped with Lexus Hybrid Drive. The hybrid will not come to the US.
