1997 Lexus Lx450 Base Sport Utility 4-door 4.5l, No Rserve, Garage Kept on 2040-cars
Castro Valley, California, United States
Selling this well maintained 1997 Lexus LX450. Originally purchased for my Lake Tahoe house but a Mercedes Benz 4-Matic wagon was just inherited. Therefore, we are passing this well maintained "Toyota Landcruiser" on to the next snow loving family. It was originally a lease when the current owner purchased it as a CPO-Certified Pre-Owned in 2001. It has a clean CARFAX and clean title. It has been lovingly maintained by a scientist, who would purchase another one today. There is a stack of maintenance records. It still rides on Michelin tires with decent tread. The tires can get you through the summer but I would personally change them for winter driving. The glass is all good, the interior is decent with the exception of the front seats. "KOBE"beef is tasty but the hides are not good for seating surfaces. Just kidding. The second row is in good shape. The third row most likely has never been used based upon the condition. The carpets are not stained. The headliner does not sag. The sunroof slides and tilts freely. If you've NEVER driven an FJ80 in the snow, be prepared for one of the most "sure footed" vehicles ever in the snow. They don't say, "Oh, what a feeling for nothing". I have owned Landcruiser's in the past and they are in my own humble opinion, one of a KIND. It may have 207,551 but when you drive it, it drive nice and sturdy. It will go another 207 if maintained to the letter. Why spend more money than you need?? This one is selling for NO RESERVE. Final bid gets to take her home to enjoy.
With all my auctions, a few requirements. First, NO PAYPAL. Second, any and all bidders with less than 10 feedback and/or negative feedback need to contact me prior to bidding with their name and contact number or your bid will be cancelled and your user id blocked from additional bidding. Third, you are bidding to OWN, not make excuses. Also selling in AS-IS, Where-Is condition with NO Warranties, expressed nor implied. Seller has represented vehicle to the best of his knowledge and makes no representations as to the condition of the vehicle that are unknown to seller at time of sale. Vehicle is also advertised locally and seller reserves right to end auction early and cancel all bids if sold outside of ebay. Any and all bidders can email for a buy it now if they cannot wait until the end of the auction.
So, with a great "Lexus/Toyota" leap, let the auction begin.

NHTSA may investigate new Toyota unintended acceleration case
Mon, Jul 13 2015After paying a $1.2-billion settlement to the US government last year, Toyota largely put the unintended acceleration recall behind it. Although, there were still some civil lawsuits to handle. A new case where the owner of a 2009 Lexus ES350 is petitioning the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to open another analysis could draw the issue back to the forefront. Investigators are still deciding whether to research these claims further, though. According to this petition, the owner's wife was driving the ES350 in February 2015. While pulling into a parking space, the sedan allegedly surged forward, and there was a low-speed accident. The claim asserts there are at least two other similar cases in NHTSA's database: one in a 2009 Camry in 2009 and another in a 2010 Corolla in 2014. Specifically, this person wants an "investigation into low-speed surging in different models of Toyota automobiles in which the car starts accelerating and the engine RPM increases even when the accelerator pedal is not depressed," according to the agency. NHTSA will do further research into this person's claim and will decide whether to conduct a full investigation into the alleged issue. This won't be the first reappraisal of unintended acceleration in Toyotas by the agency in recent months, though. Between September 2014 and May 2015, NHTSA evaluated a similar petition with allegations covering 2006-2010 Corollas, and the government body decided to deny that one because the problem couldn't be replicated.

The petition was prompted by a February 2015 crash involving a model year (MY) 2009 Lexus ES350, which allegedly surged as the petitioner's wife was pulling into a parking spot.
Vice chronicles Okinawa's illegal street racing scene
Mon, 10 Mar 2014We all know that street racing is dangerous, and that motorsports are best left on the track or drag strip. However, that doesn't mean that there still isn't some outlaw allure among enthusiasts of racing on public roads. In this video, Vice Japan profiles Eikichi Nagayoshi of Japan's island of Okinawa. He is a used car dealer by day and an illegal racer by night.
Nagayoshi has a deep love for his highly customized Toyota Aristo (better known to us as a first-generation Lexus GS) that he claims produces over 1,000 horsepower and has hit 205 miles per hour. He races his car both on drag strips and in drifting competitions, but says that he often has to ship the car to mainland Japan to compete. In the absence of those opportunities, he sometimes gathers friends and takes the racing to the public roads. While we're not down with street racing, this Vice video is an intriguing personality piece, as well as a look into Japan's fabled underground racing scene. Scroll down to check out the video, but make sure you have the "CC" button clicked, because several portions are subtitled.
2013 Lexus ES earns five stars from NHTSA
Wed, 05 Dec 2012The 2013 Lexus ES has earned a five-star crash rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The 2013 ES 350 and ES 300h hybrid earned the highest ratings in each of the government's crash evaluations, including overall driver safety, frontal crashes and overall side impacts, save one. The sedan only achieved a four-star rating in the NHTSA rollover protection test, but that fault wasn't enough to keep the vehicle from earning a five-star designation overall.
The announcement doesn't mention the recent Consumer Reports claim that the ES comes with a faulty emergency trunk release that can be easily broken in a panic situation.
As you may recall, the 2013 ES 350 carries an MSRP of $36,100, plus an $895 destination fee and offers buyers a 268-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 good for 248 pound-feet of torque, as well. The ES 300h, meanwhile, stickers at $38,850 plus the same destination charge.
