1999 Lexus Rx300 Base Sport Utility 4-door 3.0l-project-needs Work on 2040-cars
Waxahachie, Texas, United States
This Lexus was left for me after my Grandfather passed away in September of 2013. My uncle had replaced the engine around 2 years ago with one that has roughly 120,000 miles on it, but the entire SUV has about 240,000 miles on it total. I drove it from Houston back to Waxahachie and it ran great, and only needed minor work (O2 Sensors) A few months ago I was going to trade it for a Harley when the thermostat went out and overheated on me. I'm pretty sure the head gasket needs to be replaced. I was going to do the Blue Steel liquid treatment and get it fixed up, but now I just want to get rid of it to pay off some bills. So here's the run down.
The Good: CLEAN TITLE Brakes were very recently replaced. AWESOME stereo system. Leather Seats A/C Unit was replaced less than 2 years ago. Engine was replaced 2 years ago as well, and has an estimated 120,000 miles on it. If you decide to part it out, it has PLENTY of good parts on it to sell. I have no interest in parting it out. The Not-so-good: Thermostat needs to be replaced. Check engine light is on (for many obvious reasons) As stated in the title, it more than likely needs the head gasket replaced. The O2/Air sensors need to be replaced as well, BUT I will provide them. They're almost $300 new, and I bought them right before it broke down on me. The number six spark plug needs to be replaced (probably from anti-freeze getting into the cylinder when the gasket blew) Needs a new knock sensor. Battery is dead. Radio antenna motor needs to be replaced. Windshield has long crack in it. Paint on front bumper, and headlights is flaking. Before the head gasket blew, I drove it to work from Waxahachie to Las Colinas every day, and made weekend trips to Austin regularly as well. It was a strong running SUV, with lots of room. Kelly Blue Book values it at $3897.00 in it's current condition, but I'd like $2800 for it for quick sale, or best offer. Obviously this is a project, so you would need to get it towed. I previously had one offer for $3300 but the guy can't pick it up until October and I really don't want to wait that long. You could try to do a liquid head gasket treatment and see if that solves the problem and have yourself a nice Lexus for a decent price. Or you could part it out and make even more money off it! I WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY SHIPPING ON THIS VEHICLE. YOU MUST HAVE IT TOWED FROM WAXAHACHIE, TEXAS (30 minutes south of Dallas) THE LEXUS IS BEING SOLD AS-IS. If you have ANY questions, please let me know! |

Lexus resurrecting SC name for big, expensive coupe
Mon, Jun 29 2015Lexus is preparing the SC nomenclature for its third act, after the first bombshell SC coupe from 1991 and the second, Desperate Housewives hardtop convertible evolution from 2001. The brand is aiming again for something that makes a deep mark, with rumored specs pointing to a large, heavy, powerful coupe that will square its spindle grille up against the Mercedes SL and BMW 6 Series. It will be built on the frame of the next-generation LS sedan, and Automobile says internal combustion motivation will come in three flavors. The starter will be a juiced-up version of the company's 5.0-liter, naturally aspirated V8, the one that currently makes 467 horsepower in the RC F. Stepping up from there will be some kind of hybrid powertrain good for around 500 horsepower; last year Motor Trend wrote that the hybrid would be based around a V6 ICE with Toyota's coming "multi-hybrid" system. The top step will be a twin-turbo version of the V8 that could exceed 600 hp. Early reports of dimensions have it at 185 inches long, 75 inches wide, and 53 inches tall. It is expected to use the world's first application of a ten-speed automatic transmission. It'll also get the RC F's torque vectoring mechanism for the rear-wheel-drive setup, though Car and Driver says an all-wheel drive option "might be added later." Aluminum and carbon fiber components will help manage weight. Its design will be inspired by the LF-LC concept, and right now its pricing is as murky as its looks. C/D posits an MSRP from $80,000 to $95,000, Automobile figures it will go "past the $100,000 mark," and MT pegs the situation at $150,000. All agree, however, that it will join the retail pipeline as a 2017 model.
Houston road rage incident devolves into all-out brawl
Tue, May 17 2016The video is no longer available. It appears the associated account has been terminated. Chaos erupted on a Houston freeway last weekend when an altercation spiraled out of control and ended up in a battle-royale style brawl in the middle of traffic. According to KTRK, David Dao and his daughter were traveling along FM 1960 on the morning of May 14 when they came upon a white Honda and a blue Ram truck parked in the right lane. The drivers and passengers of the vehicles were engaged in a spirited argument about something that had happened moments before Dao pulled up. Dao parked in his lane to block traffic in an attempt at making sure other drivers didn't hit the people fighting in the right lane, and instructed his daughter to start filming the incident in case they were needed as witnesses. As Dao's daughter filmed, the incident quickly escalated–harsh words were exchanged, a drink was thrown in a woman's face, and then the driver of the Ram kicked in the Honda's grille. "I couldn't believe it. As soon as he kicked the grille, I was like, 'This is going down now," said Dao. "I was thinking this is going to be bad. At that time, I knew because there was physical damage." As soon as the Ram driver kicked the Honda the entire situation went sideways and devolved into a huge brawl, with the people from both vehicles throwing wild punches and grappling with one another. A woman who was a passenger in the Ram attempted to break up the scrum but took a haymaker in the face for her troubles. Eventually, the fight broke up and the people returned to their vehicles which Dao assumed meant that the altercation was over. Apparently though, the Ram driver felt he hadn't made his point, and he reversed at high speed into the Honda, smashing the fascia and buckling the hood. The Ram then sped off westbound on U.S. 290 with the Honda on its tail. According to the Harris County Sheriff's Office, the incident was not reported and there is no word what happened to the brawlers after they left the scene.

Lexus NX rolls on wheels made of ice
Tue, Dec 22 2015To create this rolling ice sculpture, Lexus teamed up with London-based Hamilton Ice Sculptors, which fitted the compact luxury crossover with wheels and tires crafted from ice. The sub-zero craftsmen then deep-froze the entire vehicle, stored it at -22 degrees Fahrenheit, and drove it around London – pleasantly surprised to find that it started on the first try. As far as publicity stunts go, the finished product looks even cooler than the cardboard IS that Lexus had crafted a few months ago or the biometric glow-in-the-dark RC F from this past summer. The project took three months of research, design, and testing to carry out. The wheels replicate the alloys on the NX with millimetric precision, right down to the tread pattern, and each one took a team of four craftsmen 36 hours of work to complete. Of course, blocks of ice would have a hard time supporting the weight of the vehicle – especially while in motion – so the frozen wheels were reinforced with clear acrylic discs. And to make it all glow, they were also fitted with in-wheel LED lighting. This isn't the first time we've seen ice sculptors apply their skills to automobiles, following the frozen Canadian Tire pickup, Toyota Land Cruiser, Nissan Cube, and Saab Aero-X we've seen in recently years. But this one is at least as cool, in one sense or another. Scope out the results in the video above, and the process that went into their creation in the making-of video below.

LEXUS NX RIDES ON THE WORLD'S COOLEST WHEELS – CRAFTED IN SOLID ICE The concept of driving on ice has taken on a whole new meaning for Lexus, which has crafted the world's first set of working wheels and tyres made from frozen water. Brussels, Belgium - True to its mission of "creating amazing" and inspired by the craftsmanship that goes into every vehicle it makes, Lexus commissioned a team of ice sculpture specialists to explore how ice could be used in place of conventional alloy metal and rubber. After three months' research, design and testing, the finished wheels were fitted to a Lexus NX for the ultimate ice drive. The car itself was deep-frozen, stored for five days at -30°C (it started first time) before being driven off down a London road. The addition of in-wheel LED lighting added an extra dramatic dimension to the cutting-edge contemporary styling of the NX.
