The Lexus LX470 and Toyota Land Cruiser 100-series are great for families and off road adventurers alike. This one-owner 2004 Lexus LX470 is a rare find in its condition and low mileage. It has 115,000 miles and has lived its entire life in Southern California. It’s fully loaded, the best paint color Lexus offers, and has been very well cared for. These are amazing cars; capable of circumnavigating the globe without fail and used to protect and transport dignitaries around the world. In the US they are most frequently employed as safe family vehicles used to cart around the kids, get groceries, and take the family to the mountains. Regardless of whether they are used for kids or NATO they take a lot of abuse. As a result, it’s rare to find LX’s and Toyota Land Cruisers in this kind of clean and cared-for condition. It has right over 115,000 miles and should be perfect well past 350,000.

It was serviced at Lexus Tustin and Lexus Malibu and comes with a detailed service history. The previous owner loved the car and it shows. The major 90k mile servicing was done at a Lexus dealership - which is the most expensive service interval on this car. Since purchasing it, we have had it inspected twice: one was done by Carlsbad Lexus. It passed with flying colors and we were congratulated for finding a car in such immaculate condition.

It is a very capable full-time 4-wheel drive vehicle with low and high transfer-case gearing and a center differential lock. It also comes with Lexus/Toyota’s famous A-TRAC traction system for your time off road or in low-traction conditions. The v8 produces plenty of power and gets great gas-mileage for a capable 4x4 SUV of this size.

It comes fully loaded with premium Mark-Levinson audio, CD-changer, navigation, back-up camera, climate control, power rear windows, heated seats and side-mirrors, auto-darkening mirrors, power retracting mirrors, and a great deal more. It also has the very convenient and reliable “adjustable height suspension” (AHC) which allows you to raise and lower the car – from the driver’s seat - for your loading/unloading and off road/high-clearance needs.

The exterior is immaculate. There are no dents, scratches, or dings of consequence. It’s painted in Diamond White Pearl which is one of the highest quality and most expensive paints available: it is typically used only for show-quality classic cars and hot-rods. When this LX470 was first sold, it was the most expensive car Lexus made by a very large margin. With this high price came some very high-quality options not previously available. One of those options was Diamond White Pearl paint. The paint is 3-stage paint unlike typical 2-stage paints. The extra stage is a layer of finely ground synthetic pearls. This pearl dust takes the place of metal-flakes in typical automotive paint that deteriorates quickly in the sun. This paint has proven again and again that it can stand up to huge amounts of abuse and continue to look nicer than brand new cars coming off the lot.

The interior is much like the exterior: clean and well cared for. The carpets are stain-free and have been protected by a set of factory Lexus floor mats its entire life (included). The leather is exceptionally clean and well cared for. The steering wheel and dash have no cracks, tears, scratches, or blemishes. It comes with all of the original documents including the owner’s manual, navigation disk, key-tag, etc.

The car is perfect mechanically. Everything has been serviced at the factory intervals and the entire car was just given a clean bill of health from Lexus. We will provide a detailed life-time service history for the car.

I am happy to arrange shipping domestically and will export and ship anywhere in the world. All shipping, transport, and export fees will be charged to the buyer. Please see payments and deposit section for payment and deposit terms.

 Please visit our website (forgive the construction) or contact us directly with any questions you might have. We are available to answer any of your questions by phone or email Monday-Saturday 8am-6pm PST. If you are local and interested in seeing the vehicle, a showing/test-drive can be arranged by appointment only.

8 things you should know about the Lexus LC 500h powertrain

Thu, Feb 18 2016

Lexus unveiled the LC 500h today in The Netherlands, and I got to take a look inside its new hybrid system. On one hand it seems like a box of magic – it combines two seemingly incompatible transmission types into one package. But that's also the ingenious simplicity of the thing. We don't have all of the details on how it all works yet, but here's a rundown of the high points.Efficient business in front, low-key party in the back. What makes it all work is the mullet of transmissions. For the new hybrid transmission, Lexus used the Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive/Lexus Hybrid System – which consists of an e-CVT with a planetary gearset and two electric motors (one for charging the battery, the other for motivation and regen) – and grafted a conventional four-speed automatic onto the back. The two units actually coexist in one package, with the e-CVT making things efficient and the automatic expanding the capabilities. So at the low end, the system can deliver more torque, and the engine can also run at lower rpm on the highway. It's all thanks to those fixed gear ratios, and it's surprisingly simple.Except it's not that simple. This is where the virtual gear ratios come in. Like current Lexus hybrids, the system has ratios it can call up with the e-CVT. In this case, there are six virtual ratios to complement the four real physical ratios, for a total of 10 "gears" at the transmission's disposal. (Not coincidentally, the V8 LC 500 coupe has a 10-speed automatic.) One of the four fixed gears is always engaged when the car is moving, so the 10 ratios come about from combinations of what the e-CVT in front and the automatic in the back are doing. In other words, all 10 ratios are variations on the four fixed gear ratios, which means that all 10 gears could be considered virtual.It won't use all the gears all the time. In Eco mode, the car will start off on electric power and skip the first couple of "gears." When it's set to Sport or Sport +, the engine will be engaged from a stop and the transmission will select the lowest ratio. The sportier modes will also ignore the top couple of gear ratios.It can drive faster with the engine off. In a Lexus GS 450h with the Lexus Hybrid System, for example, at speeds above 62 mph or so the engine has to start up. This is because something needs to take up some slack from the battery-charging motor-generator or else it will start spinning too quickly.

Lexus rounds out the LS line with 500h hybrid

Tue, Feb 14 2017

The 2018 Lexus LS range will feature a full hybrid LS 500h version, which will be presented to the public at the Geneva Motor Show in March. The LS 500h is expected to use a 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V6, also seen in the LC 500h coupe. The platform sibling LC 500 coupe does have an available V8 version in its non-hybrid guise, but perhaps Lexus has seen fit to equip only the sportier coupe with an eight-cylinder – a major deviation from the previous V8-only LS series bloodline. The earlier LS 600h was the first production full hybrid vehicle with a V8 engine, producing 439 horsepower; since the LC 500h's hybrid powertrain only produces 354 hp, the earlier car is likely to remain the horsepower king. The coupe still hits 60 mph under five seconds, so the big sedan should also be able to move briskly. Almost 30 years have passed since Toyota unveiled its Lexus luxury brand and the LS 400 flagship, as the UCF10 body LS 400's design was locked in spring 1987 and the wraps came off in January 1989. The LS 400 of those days was often deservedly revered, and in the following decades it has spawned numerous new generations of high-end Lexus LS sedans. But in case the latter-day LS models have become just a touch too Camry- or Avalon-like, the 2018 version should bring a new edge.

Apple self-driving cars are real — one was just in an accident

Sat, Sep 1 2018

An Apple self-driving car was involved in an accident in California, the technology company said in a filing to the state's Department of Motor Vehicles that confirmed speculation that it has begun testing such vehicles on the road. The accident happened last week when the test vehicle, a Lexus SUV, was rear-ended by a 2016 Nissan Leaf, according to the filing on the DMV website. Apple was not immediately available for comment. Apple has kept tight wraps on its ambitions for self-driving cars, declining to publicly acknowledge them until it wrote a letter to U.S. transportation regulators in late 2016 urging them not to restrict testing of the vehicles. Last year, Apple secured a permit to test autonomous vehicles in California.
