1997 Lexus Lx450 Base Sport Utility 4-door 4.5l, No Rserve, Garage Kept on 2040-cars
Castro Valley, California, United States
|
Selling this well maintained 1997 Lexus LX450. Originally purchased for my Lake Tahoe house but a Mercedes Benz 4-Matic wagon was just inherited. Therefore, we are passing this well maintained "Toyota Landcruiser" on to the next snow loving family. It was originally a lease when the current owner purchased it as a CPO-Certified Pre-Owned in 2001. It has a clean CARFAX and clean title. It has been lovingly maintained by a scientist, who would purchase another one today. There is a stack of maintenance records. It still rides on Michelin tires with decent tread. The tires can get you through the summer but I would personally change them for winter driving. The glass is all good, the interior is decent with the exception of the front seats. "KOBE"beef is tasty but the hides are not good for seating surfaces. Just kidding. The second row is in good shape. The third row most likely has never been used based upon the condition. The carpets are not stained. The headliner does not sag. The sunroof slides and tilts freely. If you've NEVER driven an FJ80 in the snow, be prepared for one of the most "sure footed" vehicles ever in the snow. They don't say, "Oh, what a feeling for nothing". I have owned Landcruiser's in the past and they are in my own humble opinion, one of a KIND. It may have 207,551 but when you drive it, it drive nice and sturdy. It will go another 207 if maintained to the letter. Why spend more money than you need?? This one is selling for NO RESERVE. Final bid gets to take her home to enjoy.
With all my auctions, a few requirements. First, NO PAYPAL. Second, any and all bidders with less than 10 feedback and/or negative feedback need to contact me prior to bidding with their name and contact number or your bid will be cancelled and your user id blocked from additional bidding. Third, you are bidding to OWN, not make excuses. Also selling in AS-IS, Where-Is condition with NO Warranties, expressed nor implied. Seller has represented vehicle to the best of his knowledge and makes no representations as to the condition of the vehicle that are unknown to seller at time of sale. Vehicle is also advertised locally and seller reserves right to end auction early and cancel all bids if sold outside of ebay. Any and all bidders can email for a buy it now if they cannot wait until the end of the auction.
So, with a great "Lexus/Toyota" leap, let the auction begin.

Lexus IS 200t gets a 245 hp turbo four-cylinder, comes here in 2016
Mon, Jun 29 2015The exact timing isn't clear, but now that we have the good news we're ok with a little wait: in Europe Lexus just replaced the 2.5-liter V6 in the IS 250 with its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, and we'll get it. The 2.0-liter currently serves in the NX 200t, putting out 235 horsepower and 258 pound-feet. Car and Driver says it will be tuned differently for what will become the IS 200t, with an output of 241 hp and 258 lb-ft. Those numbers whoop the 2.5-liter V6 by 37 hp and 73 lb-ft, and they're just 65 hp and 19 lb-ft under the 3.5-liter V6 in the much more popular IS 350. Improvements continue in the transmission, the IS 200t getting eight cogs - there won't be a manual option - instead of the six-speed 'box mated to the 2.5-liter now. That means buyers can expect a car that's not only more powerful and more responsive, addressing the two fundamental omissions in the IS 250's list of talents, it will also get better fuel economy than the 21 city, 30 highway miles per gallon the old six-cylinder musters. What they can't expect according to CD is all-wheel drive. We're told the engine swap should come "in the early part of the 2016 model year," and it will only come with rear-wheel drive. C/D says that Lexus will bring a third engine to the range that will power an all-wheel entry, which seems a tad complex to us, but if true it wouldn't be the first time the words "Lexus" and "complex" have cozied up together. A press release from Lexus Europe is below. LEXUS TO LAUNCH IS 200t WITH INNOVATIVE 2.0l TURBO PETROL ENGINE • New turbo engine offers superior smoothness and responsiveness, with no turbo-lag and high fuel efficiency • Engine mated to 8-speed Sport Direct Shift transmission • IS 200t on sale in Europe as from September 2015 Brussels, Belgium, 26 Jun 2015 - Lexus is expanding the range of vehicle equipped with its new 2.0-litre turbo engine. Following the launch of NX 200t in early 2015 and the announced arrival of RX 200t by the end of the year, IS is the third Lexus model to be fitted with this new engine. Powered by a new 2.0-litre petrol turbo engine – with innovative D-4ST fuel injection technology for both fuel economy and instantaneous torque – the Lexus IS 200t sports sedan delivers 245 DIN hp (180kW) with a maximum torque of 350 Nm. Capable of rapid acceleration up to a top speed of 230 km/h, its 8-speed Sport Direct Shift transmission was developed for the high-performance RC F.
Toyota and Lexus show off advanced safety research vehicle [w/video]
Tue, 08 Jan 2013While Google and Audi explore the possibilities of autonomous vehicles, Toyota and its Lexus division are studying the intermediate step of vehicles equipped with a deep suite of technology that help drivers make the best decisions. Introduced at this week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the Lexus advanced safety research vehicle is an LS sedan fitted with three high-def color cameras to detect objects up to almost 500 feet away, 360-degree Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) lasers that can detect objects up to 220 feet away, three radar units to keep track of other vehicles at intersections, a precision odometer on the rear wheel, GPS that estimates orientation and an accelerometer.
Currently testing at a purpose-built 8.6 acre urban testing ground at the Higashi-Fuji Technical Center in Susono, Japan the Toyota research vehicle is being used to study how to make better drivers, as well as figuring out how to reduce crashes as the industry's journey through passive and active safety systems progresses. In the event of a crash, new rescue systems are also being tested.
Further investment is being put into the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) that would use shortwave signals to harness information from the car and from other vehicles on the road, as well as roadside infrastructure and even pedestrians. Toyota reasons it could then build a picture of interactions and, for instance, alert the driver to a potential collision at a blind intersection.
Lexus LF-LC Concept goes blue, remains happy
Thu, 29 Nov 2012Until the day when we can see a production version of the Lexus LF-LC Concept, we'll just make do with seeing the sleek two-door in different colors for now. After first showing us the car in a Candy Apple Red color at the Detroit Auto Show, Lexus has brought its LF-LC Blue (in a deep ocean blue) from Down Under to LA.
Aside from the new color, there's nothing new for us to see here. That means we were still ogling over its flowing body lines, impressed by its 500-horsepower hybrid drive system and looking forward to possibly seeing the car go into production.
