If you want to make a deal, pick up the phone

and make your serious offer.

702-353-7500

I don't respond messages such as:

"What's your reserve?"

"What is your bottom line?"

"What's the least you'll take?"

"What is your bottom dollar?"

"Do you have a Buy-it-Now?"

"What's it take to buy it?"

"What is your asking price?"

I will not email you a figure but we can talk about it.

 

Intelligent buyers know exactly what this car is worth to them and have researched real market values like we did when we bought the car. IS300 Sportcross's are quite rare and pricing we've seen for examples like this will range between nine and twelve thousand dollars. Finding one for less that is in this condition is like hoping for a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Real Simple, it's your offer that may buy this car. You need to tell me what you are willing to offer just like any other auction. 

 

Also, if yours is among the hundreds of emails I get with any of the questions above, I will immediately assume that you(r):

• have not taken time to read the listing and just an online tire kicker

• have zero intent to purchase and just like "seeing" what sellers think their cars are worth. Publications do that real well.

• are clueless about relevant market values because your have spent time really looking into valid information.

• forthcoming "offer" will be completely detached from reality like most initial eBay bidders. 

 

27 years in the business has proven beyond all doubt that serious buyers read every line, look at every picture, research well enough on their own and feel confident making a real offer.  99% of the time, I accept those offers without haggle.  Try me.

  

 

THE ONLY WAY TO WORK YOUR DEAL IS TO CALL ME!

My vehicles are so unique and so rare,

knowing how much they will or should sell for is nearly impossible.

That is the magic of an eBay auction . . . serious buyers making a serious offer.

 

If I'm in the black, you will own this vehicle!

Rare quality condition for sure and this IS300 actually is rare.  Only 1,958 built for '02 and from 2002 to 2005 (years available) total SportCross production for all four years was just 3,078.  That means this bad boy will be worth like, a million dollars at some point in the future.  Probably several million . . .

No doubt about it, wagons are hot these days.  Body seams and panel alignment are tight, consistent and typically Lexus . . .

 

The SportCross's overall length is nearly identical to the sedan version but offers a lot more room in back and a lot more loading options . . .

 

Besides a much sleeker shape than the sedan, the SportCross comes with staggered wheels.  The sedan has 7-inch wide wheels front and rear but the wagon's rear wheels are a half inch wider, with one size up tires. (rear: 225/45ZR17 front: 215/45ZR17)

 

With a silky smooth inline six, sequential Sport Shift 5-speed automatic and rear wheel drive, the first generation IS was much desired when new and has been strong in the used car market ever since.  The SportCross brings a lot to the table (HIDs, killer audio, lots of seating/loading configurations) but another reason people want these so much is actually quite simple.  It's a Lexus; designed-in quality and built right in the first place.  This particular 2002 Lexus IS300 SportCross is a respected, high quality vehicle having just one previous owner that (obviously) loved and cared for their ride.  Never been in an accident, great body, outstanding paint, gorgeous interior and mechanical reliability.  You should buy it . . .

 

My wife and I took this little wagon to Utah a day after it arrived at our facility.  It was then my driver for about two weeks.  Besides impeccable reliability and near functional perfection during that time, some important fundamentals stood out and I think these things separate the IS300 from the rest of the herd.  Handling and balance of this car reminded me again and again why top sport sedans (and wagons!) are proper front engine/rear wheel drive and unlike most 6-cylinders these days, the IS300 is an inline six.  Why does that matter?  It mostly doesn't except it seems smoother, sounds better and I like how it feels.  The IS300 is surprisingly up-market, too.  When I turned on the lights, ice-white illumination told me this bad boy had HIDs.  Pretty cool, and the chronograph cluster was fun too.  Both seats are 8-way power adjustable, the optional stereo is strong and the air blew ice-cold the whole time.  I'll admit having small concern about taking an unknown vehicle on a trip so soon after getting it.  My past experience with the brand should have set my mind at ease.   Every Lexus I've ever known has been a superbly built car and this gem was no different.  It simply does not look, feel, drive or function like a "high mileage" vehicle in any way.  The above pictures are Saturday morning a few hours after our very late arrival the night before  The little wagon performed marvelously and we had a great time.  Made all the better with a comfortable car that had enough room for an occasional relative, and we didn't mind being seen in it.

                                                                                                  -Foy

 

Driver and passenger frontal/side airbags, 8-way power driver and passenger seats, automatic air conditioning, tilt steering, 240-watt/9-speaker premium audio with 6-disc in-dash changer, amplifier and equalizer.  All of it in great condition . . .

 

This SportCross has the Leather/Ecsaine Trim package which includes the suede seat inserts, power passenger seat and HomeLink universal transceiver . . .

 

The back offers lot of loading configurations and there's even a "hidden" covered storage bin just behind the rear seat.  Under everything is a full size spare tire mounted on a matching alloy wheel . . .

 

133,714 is actually extremely low mileage for a 12-year old car.  With barely 11k a year, this Lexus is well below industry average . . .

Toyota recalls 1.37 million more vehicles for Takata airbags

Tue, Jun 16 2015

Toyota is expanding its passenger-side Takata airbag inflator recall campaign by an additional 1.37 million vehicles in the United States. The models covered under this broadened recall are the 2003-2007 Corolla, Matrix, and Lexus SC430; the 2005-2006 Tundra; and the 2005-2007 Sequoia. In total, Toyota says that this expansion brings the number of its vehicles covered under the Takata inflator recall in the US to 2.915 million. For these latest models, owners will be notified by mail soon. The move is similar to a recent decision by Honda to broaden its recall list. As with millions of other vehicles covered under these recalls, it's possible for exposure to moisture to cause the inflator to ignite too quickly in an airbag deployment. This can cause shrapnel to be sprayed at occupants. At least seven deaths have been potentially linked to these ruptures worldwide. TOYOTA EXPANDS TAKATA AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL TORRANCE, Calif., June 16, 2015 – Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc. today announced that it is expanding its recalls involving Takata front passenger airbag inflators. Based on recent information from Takata and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Toyota will recall approximately 1,365,000 additional 2003-2007 Corolla and Corolla Matrix; 2005-2006 Tundra; 2005-2007 Sequoia; 2003-2007 Lexus SC430 vehicles. This brings the total number of Toyota and Lexus vehicles covered by Takata recalls in the U.S. to approximately 2,915,000. In the involved vehicles, the front passenger airbag inflators could potentially be susceptible to rupture when deployed and seriously injure vehicle occupants. "Toyota's focus remains on the safety and security of our customers, and we will continue to respond promptly to new developments so we can resolve issues for them as quickly, conveniently and safely as possible," said Dino Triantafyllos, chief quality officer, Toyota Motor North America. Multiple investigations into the root cause of the potential for inflator rupture are taking place, including by Orbital ATK, an independent engineering firm commissioned by an industry-wide joint testing initiative comprised of the ten automotive manufacturers conducting Takata-related recalls. All known owners of the affected Toyota / Lexus vehicles will be notified by first class mail to return their vehicles to a Toyota / Lexus dealer. The dealer will replace the airbag inflator with a newly manufactured one.

Lexus in no hurry to be a big player in China

Mon, 03 Jun 2013

For a while now, China's spiraling wealth, population and development has had the world's luxury automakers in an expansionist fervor, with many executives exhibiting the sort of gleefully maniacal behavior historically reserved for gold-rush prospectors. Yet Toyota, of all companies, is exercising a surprising amount of caution in the Asian nation.
As The Wall Street Journal notes, Toyota's premium brand, Lexus, sold all of 64,000 vehicles in China last year, while BMW cleared its books of 326,000. In fact, it didn't even bother entering the market until 2005, while rival Audi built its first car in the market a decade and a half earlier. Even now, Lexus doesn't build any vehicles in China, and with the country's notoriously high tariffs on imports, that's a major disadvantage. Yet the business daily quotes Lexus executive vice president Mark Templin as saying that the brand is nowhere near ready to start building cars in the market. "We're not having those discussions about when we're going to go to China... We have a lot of work to do before we get to that point."
Part of that work includes establishing a more expansive dealer network - Lexus only had 99 stores as of 2012, while rival Mercedes-Benz had over two-and-a-half times as many, and it's still expanding. Adding a lot of dealers without having a goodly number of competitively priced offerings for them to sell may seem like an odd strategy, but Templin tells the WSJ that the goal is to "cultivate our image for quality and customer service and let the customers that we have go tell that story for us."

What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name

Thu, 07 Aug 2014



The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?
