Year:1996 Mileage:184600
Location:

Fort Wayne, Indiana, United States

Fort Wayne, Indiana, United States

For Sale is a 1996 Lexus LX450, which is really a Toyota Land Cruiser with Lexus badges. Overall, this well-maintained 7-passenger SUV is in great shape with a few cosmetic issues. I've been the owner for the past four years and have owned it without any issues other than maintenance projects. I have only put on around 30,000 miles. I've enjoyed owning this vehicle and truly belief it's got another 100,000 solid miles in it. These SUVs are known for long, productive lives. Google it if you're interested in knowing more. Below are some bullet points to consider:

Car Details:
184,5xx miles
7 - passenger
All wheel drive with 4-wheel high & low gears
Black with Tan interior
Tires - 50-60% tread life left on Toyo tires
6-disc built in CD player
2" trailer hitch system installed - not wired for lights

Recent Maintenance/Repairs:
In Prep for Sale - Full inside & outside detail with buffing & carpet cleaning
2014 - Front & Rear Brakes - new rotors on back, turned rotors on front & new front caliper
2014 - New power steering
2014 - New battery
2014 - New front axle knuckle gasket kit installed in right front wheel
2013 - New Air Conditioner
2013 - New Complete exhaust system from engine to tailpipe
2012 - New heating fluid lines from front heater to rear heater
Oil changes with 10W40 every 3000 miles & other routine maintenance like tire rotations

Condition Notes:
Front bumper - I purchased the car 4 years ago with the front right bumper slightly pushed in. It was likely backed into. Looks like front bumper could be removed, bracket bent back, and then bumper re-installed. It ins't a big deal for me, so I haven't fixed it. 

Paint & Body - Overall for a 1996, the paint and body work are in good shape. Just waxed/buffed and the only things you see is when you stand right over the flat surface areas where rain, dirt, & anything else have collected over the year and caused spotting. Can't tell from 5' away. There are a few small door dents, paint cracks on bumpers, and small stone chips. There is visible rust on the running boards just at the edge of the running boards.

Rear Hatch Under Wiper - this is common place to rust out. I sanded the rust, patched it with metal patch putty, and then repainted those areas. You can tell it's there, but the rust has stopped & it's sealed with satin paint that matches well. Not professional, but effective.

Sunroof - The sunroof works. The only problem is that it only goes about half way back. Something stuck in the track or binding it halfway. I personally just haven't wanted to drop the headliner to inspect. Don't really use sunroof that much anyway.

Cigarette Lighter doesn't work (disconnected wire maybe) and the rear passenger side window button on driver's side door doesn't work. The window works and the button on that door works, just not the button on the driver's side door. Just haven't taken door apart to inspect.

I'm happy to answer any other questions.

Lexus IS named Esquire Car of the Year

Wed, 09 Oct 2013

Esquire holds an annual car of the year award, and for the past four years, only American or German autos, such as the Cadillac ATS and the Audi S4, have earned the publication's top pick. But for 2013, the top pick is from Japan: the 2014 Lexus IS350 F Sport. The publication calls the IS "thrilling first, responsible second."
Upon learning the top pick, we had to make sure we were still reading about a Lexus, though we admit the new IS350 F Sport is indeed a new breed, one that approaches BMW 3 Series levels of performance and handling while maintaining its Japanese identity.
Esquire appreciates the F Sport's new direction, but says, "Crucially, unlike everything else, it's not trying to be the BMW." It claims the 2013 car of the year is an "honest, gutsy, fast set of wheels."

Your guide to vehicle subscription services

Mon, Oct 1 2018

They might be extremely limited in scope because of location availability, but vehicle subscription services are a growing trend that most luxury manufacturers are jumping on. Plans are expensive, but you're paying for much more than just the car typically. We highlighted four of the larger plans with a few more listed at the end. Care by Volvo Volvo launched its subscription service last year with its brand-new XC40. It was the only vehicle available for a time, but subscribers can now get an S60 sedan as well. Subscriptions are for two years, with the monthly price including insurance, a concierge service, wear-and-tear item replacements and all maintenance. You'll be able to drive 15,000 miles per year with whichever Volvo you choose, and although there are no options to extend that mileage, you can swap cars after a year. Pricing for the XC40 is $650 per month in base trim, while an S60 can be as expensive as $850 for the R-Design. Volvo's plan is to offer more cars soon through the service, but it's relatively limited compared to others right now. Porsche Passport Porsche has two levels in its subscription service: Launch and Accelerate. Launch will cost $2,000 per month and give you access to the Cayman, Boxster, Macan and Cayenne. All of those but the Cayenne can be had in "S" trim as well. Accelerate is where the fun really starts. For $3,000 per month you can choose from a fleet of 911s, including the S, 4S, Cabriolet and Cabriolet S. If those aren't enough, you can also get the Panamera 4S, Macan GTS and Cayenne S. There are no mileage limits and you can change vehicles as often as you'd like. Also included in the price is insurance, repairs, detailing and any maintenance. It might be extremely expensive and limited to Atlanta only, but this subscription service is second-to-none for what you get. Audi Select Audi just launched its subscription car service, and it's offered in one version for a flat fee of $1,395 per month. For that you'll have access to five different cars including the A4, S5 Coupe, A5 Cabriolet, Q5, and Q7. Not a bad range of vehicles, but it would've been neat to see the recently updated A7 in there too. Maybe in time. Like the others, insurance and maintenance are wrapped up in the price. Audi is allowing for unlimited miles and two car swaps per month here. In addition to that, you'll get two days of free rentals through Audi's Silvercar rental agency should you go on a trip.
