2002 Lexus Sc430 Luxury Sport Convertible-excellent Interior, Sharp Gloss Black! on 2040-cars
Haubstadt, Indiana, United States
Up for sale is my 2002 Lexus SC430 Convertible The interior is in incredible condition, no rips/splits/cracks/worn seams, the interior is just amazing. Full power and heated front seats, headrests lift and tilt, very comfortable to drive. Although the rear seats are in equally great condition, they are also the reason we decided to sell it; we need more leg-room for backseat passengers. The exterior is a nice deep gloss black, takes well to a good wash/buff/wax, very sharp. Navigation system works fine, the Mark Levinson stereo system sounds really nice, Cd player can be a bit finicky (doesn't like to play particular CDs), the power antenna does not extend but the radio still picks up my local channels just fine. The climate control center has a couple of dead pixels (see pic, basically where a "5" doesn't show up as a full five, or a "9" doesn't show as a full nine - only on a couple of spots, not the entire screen), it's still easy to view and understand. The air conditioning is not ice cold. The exterior has a couple of dime-sized pings here and there - I took a picture of one of them to help describe what I mean. There is an area on the bottom of the front bumper (passenger side) that has some curb scratches below the fog light, see photos for more details. The convertible top goes up and down smooth, no grinding or stalling - very fast operation. I'll be posting a video shortly that shows it in operation, along with the engine starting/running. Please review the video to see top functioning and engine start & run. http://youtu.be/sdfsaeHQA0I The engine runs good, transmission shifts nice and smooth, no issues with rear-end, brakes are nice and solid, car tracks good and straight, tires are in good healthy condition appear to have plenty amount of tread left, the rims have some scratches on the edges but nothing overly critical, exhaust is nice a crisp deep sound. Timing belt was changed about 52K miles ago, so you have about 38K miles before it should be changed again according to Lexus. Although the car has a lot of miles on it, it certainly doesn't show. Toyota/Lexus has used this engine in a number of models, and there are plenty running around with well over 300K miles on them. This is not a cheap 150K/mile throw-away car, Toyota/Lexus is known for building long-life cars. I cannot guarantee anything will not go wrong, but the likelihood is certainly much lower than most any other manufacturer. I'm selling the car as-is/where-is, no warranties expressed or implied. I'm more than happy to answer questions, and I'm also willing to help your shipping company get the car loaded. Buyer is responsible for making shipping arrangements and paying any shipping fees. I apologize for the pictures being a little dark, I didn't want to take the car outside because of the ice and rain. As soon as we have some good sun I'll switch out the pictures for some sunny shots. I have the title in-hand and ready to transfer. Thanks.

The hoverboard of your dreams is finally here, thanks to Lexus
Wed, Aug 5 2015Finally. Finally! Anyone who grew up in the 1980s has been waiting for this moment for a long, long time. Since 1989, to be exact, which is when Back to the Future Part II hovered its way into theaters showing Marty-of-the-past riding a newfangled board-without-wheels in a fabricated future. After several teases, Lexus has finally unleashed real, actual footage of its hoverboard in action. As you'll see in the video, the learning curve is steep, even for a professional skateboarder like Ross McGouran. "I've spent 20 years skateboarding, but without friction it feels like I've had to learn a whole new skill, particularly in the stance and balance in order to ride the hoverboard. It's a whole new experience," says the hoverboard test rider. Before we all get too carried away, there are caveats to this real-world hoverboard. First, the technology doesn't work everywhere. According to Lexus, 200 meters of magnetic track was built in Dresden, Germany, and shipped to a specially built "hoverpark" in Barcelona, Spain. Unlike the fictional hoverboard from BTTF, though, Lexus' creation does indeed work on water... assuming there's a properly magnetic surface below the surface. We're sure you've got questions – cryostats, liquid hydrogen and magnets, are the likely answers – but first, you really should watch the video. Then, feel free to check out the full press release down below, but before you get too excited, know that Lexus has said it does not intend to sell a production version of its hoverboard.

Mark Templin, Executive Vice President at Lexus International said: "Embarking on this project, we set out to push the boundaries of technology, design and innovation to make the impossible possible. With this project we call 'SLIDE', we collaborated with partners who share our passion for creating enjoyment out of motion. Even through combining our technology and expertise, we discovered making a hoverboard isn't an easy process.
Here We Go Again: Lexus attacks EVs in new ad [UPDATE]
Wed, Sep 10 2014UPDATE: We got a comment from founding member of Plug In America Paul Scott on this ad. It's available below. The last time Lexus attacked plug-in battery vehicles in an ad, it had to apologize. The company is remaining on message, though, and has revisited a hybrid-vehicle advertising campaign that implies that driving a battery-electric vehicle is a big waste of time, because of all the charging you need to do. With the new spot, Lexus once again raised hackles of plug-in vehicle advocates because, once again, the accuracy is questioned. "The ad's message was that a consumer could [drive] a vehicle with advanced technology today, without sacrifice or change in habit." – Lexus spokesman Brian Bolain Lexus is running print ads (click to enlarge) in publications like Wired poking fun at EVs, the International Business Times says. Lexus highlights range anxiety in the spot, comparing the amount of time it takes to fully recharge an EV – and the idea that air conditioning and using the radio can shorten an EV's range – to the fun of just driving a Lexus. "The [print] ad was merely intended to paint a picture of life with a hybrid, which is basically no different from life with a traditional gas-powered vehicle, versus life with an EV, which can have challenges or at least uncertainties," Lexus spokesman Brian Bolain told AutoblogGreen. "In other words, at its core, the ad's message was that a consumer could participate in driving a vehicle with advanced technology today, without sacrifice or change in habit." The campaign picks up where Lexus's previous anti-EV campaign left off this spring. A website promoting Lexus's hybrids (and parent company Toyota's H2 vehicles) claimed that there was a hydrogen refueling infrastructure set up in 20 US states (not anywhere close to true). Plug-in advocates were also quick to note that higher-powered EV recharging systems can allow a plug-in to be recharged in far less than the four hours the Lexus site claimed. Of course, Toyota has a lot more skin in the game when it comes to hybrids and, starting next year, hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles than it does for plug-ins. Through August, the company sold just 842 RAV4 EVs and about 11,500 Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrids in the US. That compares to almost 19,000 Nissan Leaf EVs and a Tesla Model S count that's likely close to that figure as well (Tesla breaks out neither monthly sales numbers nor US-only sales for the Model S).
Why Lexus shies away from plug-in hybrids
Mon, Apr 20 2015Lexus may have softened its stance a bit from the anti plug-in vehicle ads the Toyota luxury badge ran last year, but at least one executive from the company casts a pretty critical eye towards the concept as a way to cut both emissions and refueling costs. In fact, Lexus doesn't really buy the fact that buyers of plug-in hybrids are really looking to save both gas and the environment, Green Car Reports says, citing an interview at the recent New York Auto Show with Lexus executive Mark Templin. Templin also said hydrogen fuel-cell technology may be a better way to edge towards zero emissions. Templin decried plug-in hybrid technology because it adds weight to vehicles, which contributes to poor emissions figures in the process. He added that plug-in vehicle buyers are motivated more by potential tax credits and solo driving rights in high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes than cutting back on fuel use. Last summer, Lexus ran an supposedly tongue-in-cheek print ad poking fun at how long it takes to charge a plug-in vehicle and how using air conditioning can shorten a car's charging range. Last spring, Lexus had to backpedal from an anti-electric ad it ran that had serious mistakes about hydrogen infrastructure. News Source: Green Car Reports Green Lexus Toyota Hybrid PHEV
