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.

This one-off Lexus RC F takes a page out of an NBA playbook

Sat, Apr 2 2016

We talk about one automaker taking a page out of another's playbook – following a lead to keep up with the competition. But this one-of-a-kind Lexus actually does take a page out of a playbook. Specifically that of the Los Angeles Clippers. The unique Lexus RC F coupe features a livery inspired by the team colors and emblazoned in tone-on-tone Xs and squiggles that look like strategic doodles from the coach's notebook. The stock horn has been replaced by a shot buzzer, the dashboard clock with a game timer, basketball-patterned speaker grilles, and Clippers logos throughout. The navigation system is voiced by the team's coach Doc Rivers, and there's a makeshift locker room in the trunk packed with memorabilia. As far as special editions go, this one's actually pretty convincing. Of course it doesn't hurt to pack a 5.0-liter V8 engine good for 467 horsepower under the hood. The vehicle was created to raise funds for the Clippers Foundation, a charity associated with the basketball team that works with children in the Los Angeles area. For $100, fans can buy raffle tickets for the chance to take it home. Toyota has long been a sponsor of the team, briefly suspending its involvement in the wake of then-owner Donald Sterling's racist remarks a couple of years ago. Related Video:

Forget LCD displays, the Lexus UX concept has hologram orbs

Thu, Sep 22 2016

Two weeks ago, Lexus revealed the UX concept for the Paris Motor Show. The company only showed one photo of the exterior, but did give a generic description of the interior, saying it would have "imaginative technologies for an immersive driver experience." Now we know what that means: holograms! Yes, Lexus has done about the only thing that can impress in this world of high-resolution automotive displays – it brought instruments and infotainment into the third dimension. In the process it has somewhat reimagined the way occupants interact with the car as well. We're guessing the name UX, which stands for user experience in the tech world, was intentional. The large crystal-shaped box in the center console stands out immediately. The company says the box will display climate control and infotainment options in full 3D for the driver and passenger. The instrument cluster gets the hologram treatment as well with an orb floating in the middle and the ability to display both analog and digital information. No word on whether a small, blue Princess Leia will appear in the console asking for help. The UX's interior has a few other nifty surprises. The windows are electrochromic, so they can be darkened as needed (similar tech is already in use on some car roofs). The passenger side of the dashboard has a large, finned sound bar that can be removed. We're not entirely sure the thinking behind that feature, but we suppose it would be nice as a stereo for a picnic or a day at the beach. To cap things off, Lexus included the concept car staples of touch-sensitive buttons and side-view mirror cameras. As for when you'll see hologram displays in future Lexus models, we have no idea but wouldn't count on them coming anytime soon. We have a more optimistic view of the Lexus UX concept itself. With crossovers as popular as ever, we expect to see an attractive production model with these bulging fenders and a steeply raked windshield in a year or so.
