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.

Recharge Wrap-up: Formula E gets more power, Tesla outsells competition

Thu, Jan 7 2016

Tesla sold significantly more electric vehicles than its competitors in 2015. Tesla delivered 50,580 vehicles in 2015. 208 of those were its new Model X SUV, and likely half of its Model S units were sold in the US. By comparison, Nissan sold 17,269 Leafs. For General Motors, through the end of November, Cadillac sold 1,024 ELRs, while Chevrolet sold 15,393 Volts and 2,477 Spark EVs. Ford sold similar numbers of its plug-in vehicles in 2015, compared to Nissan and GM, putting each of those automakers between 17,000 and 19,000 EVs. By comparison, Tesla had quite a year.

The automaker is rumored to debut its LC 500, powered by a 465-horsepower, 5.0-liter V8, as well as the LC 500h using a hybrid powertrain consisting of a V6 engine and electric motor. The LC 500h is rumored to produce over 470 horsepower. The Lexus LC will be based on the LF-LC concept that debuted in Detroit in 2012. Lexus has set up a dedicated microsite for its presentation at the Detroit show on January 11. Read more from Hybrid Cars. Formula E will raise its power limit for its third season. According to the newly published FIA Formula E 2016 Technical Regulations, output will be boosted from a maximum 200 kW (268 horsepower) to 250 kW (335 horsepower). While race energy will still be limited to 28 kWh, the battery weight limit has been raised from 200 kilograms (441 pounds) to 230 kilograms (507 pounds), likely to help accommodate the higher output. Meanwhile, overall car weight drops from 888 kilograms (1958 pounds) to 880 kilograms (1940 pounds). Lighter, more powerful cars should make the next season of Formula E even more exciting.

2014 Lexus IS 250 AWD F Sport

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

"Ooh, this looks fun!" my otherwise car-ignorant friend said as we walked up to the 2014 Lexus IS 250 F Sport. And yeah, it does look fun. In fact, despite my initial strong negative reaction to the design, I've really warmed up to this new IS, especially with the flashier F Sport package found on this test car (unique front fascia, 18-inch dark alloy wheels and appropriate badging). Even though that rear end still looks a bit Droopy Dog to me (stop frowning, Lexus), the IS is sharp, though I'm not entirely sure that such a bold design will age well.
"Looks can be deceiving," I told my friend, and we hit the road... slowly. You see, despite looking like a fresh, modern sport sedan, the IS 250 still uses what is, quite frankly, a dog of an engine. And that, combined with dynamics that are just so-so at best, makes for a sedan that's all show and no go. Say hello to Jennifer Slowpez.

2015 Lexus RC 350

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

Luxury coupes like this new, 2015 Lexus RC 350 have got, to my mind, a more challenging mission than their all-out-performance variants; in this case, the recently reviewed RC F.
That's not to say that I think actual owners and shoppers of cars like the RC F, BMW M4 and Cadillac CTS-V Coupe only care about output figures and lap times. In fact I'd say that those are outliers in terms of how they get used most often. But the story that we reviewers tell - and that shoppers in the ego-boosted segment tell themselves before they pull the trigger - have a lot to do with what the car is capable of on the edge of its envelope.
Mainstream coupes can't rely on that kind of irrational pull, however, at least outside of the emotional world of styling persuasion. For a buyer to drop more than $40,000 on the RC 350, he or she will want tons of features, comfort, good looks, and, yes, a dash of sportiness to spice of the pot. Reason and desire seem a lot more balanced here. That's great news for Lexus, with its history of creating sensible luxury cars and a pretty composed luxury coupe in this new RC.
