2011 Lexus Is Is-f on 2040-cars
Walters, Oklahoma, United States
I am always available by mail at: delmerdttigner@cricketfans.net . Up for sale is my pride and joy. I hate to sell this car, but I have an
opportunity that I don’t want to miss out on, so the Lexus is the first to
go. If it doesn’t sell, I have other assets I can liquidate which would
allow me to keep this baby.
The car is a 2011 Lexus IS-F. It’s in amazing shape, and I’ve babied it
ever since the day I got it. It was 100% stock when I bought it, and since
delivery, I’ve added some mods to suit my taste. I’ve only put 13,000
miles on this baby since I got it. It was manly a weekend, sunny day driver,
however I did take it on a road trip to Michigan last year and it was great. I
have never had any problems with the car what so ever.. not a single one!
Every oil change has been done at the dealership Lexus of Tulsa, and they
preformed a recall issue that had something to do with the radiator fan
shroud. I’m not 100% what it was, but they did it while the car was in for
an oil change even though I never experienced any issues.
History of the car shows it was a total loss back in 2013. Before I bought
this car, I did extensive research, asked many many questions to the seller, and
drove the car on 2 different occasions before pulling the trigger to purchase.
The reason Carfax shows it as an insurance loss is because the 1st owner was
trying to parallel park, hit a car, and the owner of the other car keyed this
poor IS-F so bad that the entire car needed to be repainted. There is not
mechanical damage to the vehicle. The car drives PERFECT and straight!
The car has been lowered on BC Racing Coilovers. I have it set kinda low, and
have had 4 adults in the car while cruising down the highway. It will rub on
big bumps. The beauty of coilovers… you an adjust the height to your
liking. You can raise it up if it sits to low for your taste. Wheels are
Vossen CV3’s 20x9 (front) & 20x10.5 (rear). Brand new tires were bought 3000
miles ago.
The car is also outfitted with a fully integrated, concealed K-40 360i Radar
detector. System include front & rear radar sensors, 2 laser jammers in the
front, and 1 laser jammer in the rear. Leds are flush mounted between the center
vents for easy viewing while keeping my your eyes on the road. The system is
operated by a wireless remote control, and has a hidden speaker for audible
alerts. This thing will save your butt, I promise you that. Worth every
penny I spent on it!
Body mods are limited to a rear bumper diffuser that was on the car when I
purchased it. For a safer night driving experience, I added 2 light bars
behind the front bumper. Behind the top grill, sits a 24” LED bar, and
behind the lower grill hides a 32” LED bar. While I was at it, The factory
fog lights were replaced in favor of a set of 4x4 Rigid LED blocks. All of
these are wired into a switch to the left of the steering wheel where the blank
knock outs were. I also have them wired into the factory fog light switch for
easy on/off while cruising down the highway. Also behind the front grill are 4
red/blue police lights as well as strobe lights in the headlights. These are
wired to a switch to the left of the steering wheels as well. Obviously, you
don’t want to turn these lights on while cruising on a public road. These
were just an extra toy for car shows/meets. Highly illegal on the highway,
I’m sure… however… people WILL get out of your way if you’re coming up
behind them and you “accidently” bump the switch. The tail lights have
been lightly tinted.. just enough to kill the obnoxious bright red color.
There is still a red hue, and lights are still very visible.
Under the car, I had a custom exhaust installed. By doing this, not only did
it increase the power, but it sounds AMAZING, and the car lost 110lbs from
removing all the factory pipes, mufflers, and cats. I purchased a set of
Sikky headers a month ago from a shop in Dallas. They arrived last week, but I
haven’t been able to get the car down there for the installation of them.
Headers will be included with the car, but install is your responsibility. The
shop quoted me $700 for install, and would need the car for 2 days. I’m
afraid if I take the car to get them installed, then I will end up keeping it…
which really wouldn’t be a bad thing I guess.
The sound system is absolutely nuts! I had 4 goals in mind when I built
this…
1) To keep the interior completely stock looking and alter as little
as possible.
2) To build a trunk that would blow people away and stand out at car
shows.
3) To obtain loud, clear sound.
4) To Keep and have access to the spare tire.
All 4 goals were met, and this system sounds and looks truly amazing. In the
pictures, you’ll see an Audio Control DQL-8. This was from a previous build
that I did in my last car, but it took a dump on me and I have since replaced it
with a JBL MS-8. The quality of the MS-8 is sooooo much better than the Audio
Control. The system is pretty elaborate and the only factory piece is the
Head Unit for obvious reasons. Steering wheel control, voice recognition…
everything factory still works as it should. The Factory Mark Levinston amp
feeds the JBL MS-8 digital processor. From there, signal travels to a pair of
Kicker IX amps. The sub amp is an IX1000.1, and the 4 channel is an IX500.4.
The sub amp powers a single Kicker 10” L7 Subwoofer in a ported box. The sub
fires into the front of the car through the ski hole. The rear arm rest can be
folded up and the sub is completely out of site. The 4 channel amp powers 2
sets of top of the line Pioneer D-series component speakers. These components
are located in the 4 doors. The center channel in the dash was swapped out for
3.5” Kicker speaker for added clarity. The sound stage and clarity is spot
on and can be adjusted with the MS-8 if you prefer. The front ash tray is
missing (underneath the sliding door in front of the shifter) because this is
where the Audio Control display/controller was located. Under the sliding
door, there is just a big hole. I haven’t located an ash try or built a
housing for the MS-8 display yet. In the trunk, There are 2 fuse
distribution centers for all of the added accessories. There are strobe lights
and RGB LED lighting inside the sub box/amps/fuse centers. All the panels were
covered in black leather, with the exception of the trim panel around the MS-8,
which was covered in silver carbon fiber to flow with the exterior of the car
and the center consol look. Added to the factory head unit was a
Navigation Unlock module, which allows you to access the portions of the head
unit that would normally be locked out while the vehicle is in motion. This
also allows the DVD player to display video while driving. The switch is
hidden but easy to get to.
The clear coat on the Vossen wheels are starting to peel off. You can’t tell
from a distance, but its bad enough to bug me. I’ve contacted a local wheel
repair shop and the cost to redo them is $140/wheel ($560 total) plus the cost
of dismounting and remounting/balancing the tires. If I end up keeping the
car, this will be the second thing I get done. The first will be the
headers! There are a few really small minor blemishes on one of the door
panels inserts, but you have to look to even notice.
The car is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma and is available to see/drive almost any
time

Lexus confirms three-row RX coming by 2018
Thu, Mar 24 2016Now seems like the perfect time for Lexus to launch a three-row version of its RX crossover. Not only are CUVs flying off of dealer lots – as you probably already know, the RX is Lexus' best-selling model – there aren't all that many car-based luxury soft-roaders on the market for Lexus to compete with. Problem is, these things take time, and product planners don't always get the new-model cadence just right. Now, though, we at least have a tentative date for the extended-wheelbase 'ute's arrival. According to Automotive News, Lexus General Manager Jeff Bracken has confirmed that the brand is readying a three-row version of the RX with plans to have it in the clutches of salivating dealers by late 2017 or early 2018. Chances are, the new model will wear RX 350L badges in gas-powered guise and carry the RX 450hL moniker in hybrid form. As AN points out, these names were registered as trademarks earlier this month. That indicates we'll see both standard V6 and optional hybrid-powered versions of the three-row RX. Not only will the extended RX keep the same nomenclature, it'll also look pretty much the same as its five-seat siblings. According to Bracken, "We put so much energy into the styling you see now that we didn't want to compromise even with the third row." All we have to do now is wait, said Bracken. "They would just love to have it now. But I think they're quite relieved that they know it's coming." Related Video:
Kia leads J.D. Power's Vehicle Dependability Study for 2022
Thu, Feb 10 2022For the first year ever, Kia leads J.D. Power's annual Vehicle Dependability Study with a score of 145 problems per 100 vehicles. Buick (147) and Hyundai (148) round out the top three. The highest premium brand on the list is Genesis, with a score of 148. It's common for so-called "mass market" brands to lead this particular study, according to J.D. Power, as "premium" brands "typically incorporate more technology in their vehicles, which increases the likelihood for problems to occur" and aren't necessarily built to a higher standard that less-expensive brands. The highest-rated single nameplate is the Porsche 911. It's the third time out of the past four years and the second year in a row that Porsche's quintessential sports car has taken top honors. Porsche as a brand sits in seventh place (162) just behind Lexus (159) and ahead of Dodge (166). At the very bottom of the list is Land Rover with a dismal score of 284; the SUV specialist held the same unfortunate distinction on last year's list. Ram (266), Volvo (256), Alfa Romeo (245) and Acura (244) also performed poorly. The overall industry average score sits at 192 — mass market brands average a score of 190 while premium brands sit 14 points lower at 204. While Tesla is unofficially included in some of J.D. Power's results, the agency says the sample size it has access to for this study is too small to include. As has been the case for the past several years, infotainment systems dominate the list of problems reported by owners. Popular (or unpopular, depending on your point of view) complaints include built-in voice recognition (8.3 PP100), Android Auto/Apple CarPlay connectivity (5.4 PP100), built-in Bluetooth system (4.5 PP100), not enough power plugs/USB ports (4.2 PP100), navigation systems difficult to understand/use (3.7 PP100), touchscreen/display screen (3.6 PP100), and navigation system inaccurate/outdated map (3.6 PP100). While problems with the car's infotainment and technology packages are indeed bothersome, it's important to remember that such issues aren't usually leaving owners stranded with an immovable vehicle like a broken transmission or blown engine would. Culling infotainment complaints from the results would reduce the average problem-per-100-vehicle score by a staggering 51.9 points. The vehicles included in this study are from the 2019 model year. That means owners have had three years to get to know their cars and trucks. It's the 33rd year that J.D.
