2001 Lexus Rx300 Base Sport Utility 4-door 3.0l on 2040-cars
Cincinnati, Ohio, United States
We bought the car is 2003 with 65,000 miles we understood to be mostly highway. My wife drove it until early 2011.We kept this car thinking our son who is now 17-1/2 would eventually drive it. He shows absolutely no interest in getting his license (I cannot relate!). It has been in our driveway, driven occasionally for the last three years. The battery was purchased in January, so I could drive it for a month while waiting for parts for my car. It performed really well, especially considering the brutal month that was last January and that this car sits outside. This car has had religiously regular oil changes every 3,500 miles, has never been wrecked and has rarely been sat in, except for the driver seat, which looks as good as the rest of the interior. Everything works but the power antenna, which happens to be up, so the radio works fine. The CHECK ENGINE and VSC lights are on. It thinks the rear O2 sensor is bad. I bought a new one and it still thought it was bad. I changed it with the front sensor and it still thought it was bad. I checked the wiring and it all looks good to me. Past that, it's out of my realm. The exterior shows some scuffs and scratches, but nothing surprising for a car of this age and mileage. If you're buying it for a kid's first car, they'll do this much to it in the first month.

TMG still developing Lexus LS Sports 650 [w/video]
Wed, 21 Aug 2013If you're going to make a super sedan, you'd better do it in Germany. That's where Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz do it, along with third parties like Alpina, Brabus and G-Power, among others. Deutschland is the epicenter of the movement, regularly churning out the most powerful four-door rockets in the world. It's also where one of the racing divisions for Toyota has been hard at work on the TMG Sports 650.
Toyota Motorsport GmbH started with a Lexus LS and turned it into a 641-horsepower, twin-turbocharged super sedan it revealed late last year at the Essen Motor Show. But though we haven't heard much about it since then, the team behind Toyota's F1 and Le Mans efforts are apparently still hard at work on the project.
Speaking with Lexus' own UK blog, TMG chief Alastair Moffitt revealed that the project started way back in 2010, shortly after Toyota shut down its F1 program and left the racing team with nothing to do. The 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 was initially producing as much as 800 horsepower, but has since been refined to 650 so that it could theoretically be put into production and onto the road.

Online Find of the Day: Lexus-engined Mercedes pickup is a vintage hybrid
Tue, 16 Sep 2014You have to love someone who gets incredibly committed to a very weird idea. What you see for sale here is a right-hand drive 1971 Mercedes-Benz 220D in South Africa, but this old Mercedes is now converted into a pickup, complete with bed cover, and there's big secret under the hood, too.
The pickup conversion appears well done based on seller Sedgefield Classic Cars' photos. Even the tonneau cover fits well. You could almost believe that this Mercedes lived its life as a Chevrolet El Camino-like pickup from the very beginning.
However, the rear-quarters conversion might not be the weirdest thing about this Mercedes. The original diesel is gone from the engine bay in favor of a Lexus V8. It seems really odd to pop the hood and find a Japanese mill in this German car, but the photos make it look like a fairly well performed swap. So, bravo to the crazy thinking. According to the seller speaking to Autoblog by email, "as far as we can establish, this was done a few years ago, with all Lexus components."
