Another great vehicle offered by

This is one of nicest LC's we have ever had at STLC! Like all of our auctions this is a NO RESERVE auction so highest bidder gets this beauty. We have had this LX450 since April with MOAB and the FJ SUMMIT in mind. This truck just returned from Moab, Utah and the FJ Cruiser Summit in Ouray, CO. Not only did it run and drive great on the pavement but it manhandled the Moab and Ouray trails. We sourced this rig just for this expedition, My family of 5 really enjoyed the rock formations in Moab and the high altitude trails in Ouray (Black Bear Pass at 14k feet).

Before I took this on the Utah and Colorado journey I replaced the Battery, Steering box, power steering pump, EGR Transcucer and Alternator just to make sure I did not have any issues.

As we searched the country for an 80 series LC for this expedition we were looking for several factors, but the factor that weighed in on this truck was the service history. This truck was serviced since day 1 at a lexus dealership. The originally owner was very meticulous and anal with this vehicle. (See pics of documentation). Every time the vehicle was serviced it was cleaned and detailed. The interior is in great shape and the Lexus Luxury Leather is outstanding on all seat accept the drivers seat. The driver's seat is cracked and torn but still functionable. I can have the seat recovered if you are the high bidder at cost.

Please check out this very detailed video of this vehicle

The Goodies on this vehicle:

  •  Ole Man Emu lift
  • 33 inch mud terrains (285's)
  • ARB front bumper
  • Warn 10k winch
  • White Knuckle Sliders
  • Center Diff Lock (7 pin)
  • Thule Roof Rack Towers
  • 6 disc stock CD Changer
  • Complete blacked out decal badges from a 71 fj40 Landcruiser


Things to note:


This truck was a highway warrior over the first 15 yrs of its life (hence the mileage at 225k) since then it has slowly been converted to a trail vehicle, so there is some scratches (trail pinstriping) but no rust. It was my intention to put factory locking diffs on the vehicle but I could not source them in time for the journey so only the dial on the dash was inserted but the diffs never were converted. This vehicle has NO LEAKS, the front axle was just redone about 20k miles ago so not clunking noises when the wheels are turned in low 4wd.


If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at 504 319 2533 or if you would like to view the vehicle in person you can fly into the New Orleans Airport where we will line up transportation for you. If you are the winning bidder and want to drive the vehicle home we can pick you up at the airport. You should have no issues driving this vehicle home anywhere in the country.


If you want to ship the vehicle we can help line that up to as we have shipped a couple dozen vehicles over the last couple of years. The cost of shipping is on your dime of course :) !!

Mercedes, Infiniti, Lexus rank tops with mystery shoppers

Thu, 11 Jul 2013

If you want the best experience possible when buying a new car, then you'd better head down to your local Mercedes-Benz, Infiniti, or Lexus showroom. According a mystery shopper study conducted by the Pied Piper Prospect Satisfaction Index, those three luxury brands ranked highest among the 33 makes surveyed. The highest scoring mainstream brands included GMC, Hyundai, Kia, and Ford.
The study asked 5,203 mystery shoppers about the tactics used by salespeople during their most recent automotive purchases, and found a few interesting parallels along the way. For example, dealers at Infiniti, Land Rover, and Smart leaned heavily on vehicle walk-arounds with potential customers, while Jaguar, Volvo, and Audi were quick to point out exclusive features.
This study contrasts with a similar study conducted by JD Power in 2012. Its Sales Satisfaction Survey listed Mini as the top scorer, while Pied Piper's mystery shoppers ranked the BMW-owned brand below the industry average. Lexus scored highly on both surveys, as did Infiniti and GMC.

2014 Lexus IS 250 AWD F Sport

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

"Ooh, this looks fun!" my otherwise car-ignorant friend said as we walked up to the 2014 Lexus IS 250 F Sport. And yeah, it does look fun. In fact, despite my initial strong negative reaction to the design, I've really warmed up to this new IS, especially with the flashier F Sport package found on this test car (unique front fascia, 18-inch dark alloy wheels and appropriate badging). Even though that rear end still looks a bit Droopy Dog to me (stop frowning, Lexus), the IS is sharp, though I'm not entirely sure that such a bold design will age well.
"Looks can be deceiving," I told my friend, and we hit the road... slowly. You see, despite looking like a fresh, modern sport sedan, the IS 250 still uses what is, quite frankly, a dog of an engine. And that, combined with dynamics that are just so-so at best, makes for a sedan that's all show and no go. Say hello to Jennifer Slowpez.
