It's 13 years old, but still runs great. Timing belt, water pump, spark plugs, brakes (for rear brakes, calipers too), brake light assemblies replaced recently. Features and issues below:

1) New Timing belt, Water pump and Spark plugs (December 2013)

2) O2 sensors replaced (March 2013)

3) Front brake replaced (rotors and pads), (December 2013)

4) Remote starter installed. Great in winter (cost 200 including installation)

5) New brake light assembly (right and left), New LED license plate light (blue).

6) GPS (Pioneer AVIC D3). Working, but sometimes goes wrong. Radio function has no problem.

7) Right side headlight ballast and lamp replaced recently. HID and very bright.

8) I have to sell 4 very new snow tires mounted on original wheels. About 600 dollars worth. You need them for FR cars in winter.

9) New Tires on New Wheels, purchased in April. About 700 dollars.

10) Automatic transmission slightly not smooth from 1st to 2nd and 3rd. But no noise or any other issue. Some people might complain, but if you look for a perfectly smooth transmission for used cars, you should look for a newer economy car, not this car, or you should pay more to get a newer one, I recommend,

11) Passenger Seat heater not working.

12) automatic mode of airconditioner somewhat awkward. It's very cold and hot, but you need to switch manually. Maybe the sensor broken.

13) no major dents, but many scratches especially underparts. Left side rear bumper slightly distorted. the roof is very clean..

It's 2001 car and 155k miles, so has some issues as almost all cars as old as this one have. But I can say confidently that I did all I could do on this car. I keep all service records since I purchased it. The basic function as a car is no problem so far. I can't guarantee that it will never break down with a year or so like all other private sellers, but if you look for a better car within the same budget, why not trying to find a newer economy car such as Civics and Corollas or any other economy cars? This is a sporty sedan with much better steering and engine power. I am expecting buyers who want sporty cars within limited budget. KBB fair price is around 4000.

I prefer written communication first because I am a student from the country where this Lexus was made and people speak English terribly....But I will do my best and be sincere to my prospective buyers.

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.

Like sands through the hourglass, so is the 2014 Lexus GX

Sat, 24 Aug 2013

Well, that didn't take long. Just days after patent images leaked, Lexus has released pricing and images for its redesigned 2014 GX 460. Our first reaction is... wow, look at the front end on that! The updated luxury SUV features what Lexus calls "a new interpretation" of its now-trademark Spindle grille. The oversized hourglass shape is certainly unique, and whether for good or bad, it's sure to make the GX stand out.
The redesigned GX is set to hit dealerships in September and it starts at $49,085 - nearly $5,000 less than the 2013 model. Along with the new grille, it comes with standard LED headlights and daytime running lights. Inside, the GX boasts a new eight-inch touchscreen display with backup monitor, HD radio with complimentary weather and traffic data, Bluetooth and a vehicle information display. New espresso wood with black trim is also available for 2014.
Of course, the Luxury model, which starts at $60,715, adds even more frills, including navigation, a new Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, adaptive air suspension and Intuitive Parking Assist. Some of these features are also available on the base model with the addition of the new Premium Package, which Lexus touts "will be at the same price as the base 2013 model year GX 460."
