 This auction is for a 1992 Lexus ES300 Base Sedan 4-Door 3.0L.  I purcashed this car in October of 2009 from a friend and used it daily for my drive to work and back which is about 40 miles one way.  I've always had to let the car warm up for 2-3 minutes before driving off otherwise it would be a little sluggish.  The transmission has always had a rough shift but then about 9 months ago the car stopped shifting into first gear.  I still drove the car for another month or so until the power steering hose developed a leak.  The car has been sitting in my driveway since then which is 7-8 months. The car has a dent behind the front wheel on both sides of the car.

The car still cranks and idles fine as I just walked outside to crank it to get the mileage from the car.  The A/C has always worked great.There is a little smoke from the engine where oil has leaked onto it maybe from a gasket that needs to be replaced.  This of course is a 1992 model so several things do not work and I'll try to list them here:

  • Drivers side switch for windows / lock does not work
  • The sun roof motor doesn't work
  • The passenger side window motor doesn't work
  • Radio no longer works
  • Seats have cracked over the years.  I have seat covers over the front seats

I think that is everything about the car.  I'm going to look over the car again this weekend and post anything else I can think of.  I may also do a video of the car and crank the car on video to show the idling and engine while it is running.

I have the title in hand.

Ever wonder how to really pronounce Japanese automaker names?

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

People tend to get very set in their ways when it comes to the pronunciation of words. Just look at the endless debates over whether or not to say the final 'e' in Porsche (which you should in terms of correct German enunciation). Or the argument about whether to follow the British convention and give the 'u' in Jaguar a special delivery or to say the 'ua' diphthong as more of a 'w' sound, as usually happens in the US.
This short video doesn't answer either of those automotive questions, but it does allow a native Japanese speaker to demonstrate the accepted pronunciations for several, major automakers from the country. One benefit is that it clears up the occasional debate over whether Nissan should be said with a long or short 'i' sound. Also, listen closely to how the female host says Mazda as Matsuda, the way it's actually said in the language. Even if this doesn't change the way you enunciate these brands, at least now you know the accurate way in Japanese.

Lexus GS F points its gaping grille at the BMW M5

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

A mere trio of weeks after the latest report in the slow-moving Lexus GS F rumor cycle, we have a brand new batch of spy photos of the BMW M5-fighting sedan. Looking more and more production ready - notice the more finished exhausts compared to our last round of photos - the GS F can be seen poking around what we imagine is Germany.
If the RC and RC F Coupes are any indication, it looks like Lexus will start fitting its high-performance models with a new, single-frame version of the spindle grille while a dual-frame grille will be reserved for lesser trims. Backing up that suspicion is the new single-frame grille found on this prototype, marking the first time the suspected F line styling piece has been seen on a GS F prototype.
The aforementioned staggered quad exhausts look good on the GS' rear end, while a none-too-subtle rear spoiler ups the rear's visual flair. The low-profile rubber and the multi-spoke, black wheels are nice touches that work well with the front fascia features, in addition to the new, camo'd grille and substantial brake cooling ducts.

2022 Genesis GV70, raging at VW ID.4 tech and thoughts on a new Lexus LFA | Autoblog Podcast #696

Fri, Sep 17 2021

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor James Riswick. This week, they talk about driving the Genesis GV70, VW ID.4 and VW Taos. They talk about ways Chevy could "fix" the Camaro. James ranked all the James Bond films based solely on their starring cars. Next, they reach in the mailbag and discuss the question, "Do you think Lexus will make a successor to the LFA and, if so, what do you guys think it would be like?" After ruminating on that query, they dip into the mailbag a second time to recommend a sporty crossover to a listener in this week's Spend My Money segment.
