Tampa, Florida, United States

This vehicle has been driven by my mother since we purchased it new from Lexus of Tampa Bay in 1996. Every service has been performed on time or early at the same dealership and all records are readily available. It does have some paint chips clearly depicted in the detailed photos. The vehicle is in beautiful overall condition as it really has mainly had one passenger and therefore you can see the interior has little wear. The mileage is 85% highway and the vehicle shifts and drives very smoothly on a brand new set of Michelin tires installed recently at Lexus of Tampa Bay. Please note how clean the engine compartment is. AC and heat work flawlessly. The vehicle is in such good shape that two of the people in service are very interested in this vehicle. As with many Lexus and Toyota Land Cruisers from this period, the front seats no longer move back and forward. This seems to be a common problem which can be solved by those who are more handy than I as a "do it yourself" project replacing a couple of gears. The seat can be adjusted permanently at Lexus for $450 or you can opt to change the motor for a total of $1,100 including labor per seat. I am certain this could be done more reasonably by using salvage parts and a Toyota specialist. As mentioned this is a common problem and has been addressed on many blogs on the internet. I have attached a link below which discusses the "fix" and those who have elected to complete the task themselves.

The LX 450 is powered by a 4.5 liter, twin-cam, four-valve inline-six engine which produces 215 hp and 275 lb·ft of torque. Both front and rear axles are solid. Externally, the LX 450 is largely identical to the J80 series Land Cruiser, with the exception of the grille, side body cladding, and wheels. Side running boards allow step-up access into the vehicle's cabin. The vehicle is also fitted with additional sound-absorbing insulation.

Onboard amenities included leather seats and seating capacity for up to seven passengers in three rows (2 of which were rarely used and show as new) of seating. The third row seat is accessed by tilting the second row bench seat forward. The third row itself could be folded to the side for more cargo area, and the second row seat could fold down for further space. The vehicle also came pre-wired for the Lexus remote telephone system, and is equipped with a remote entry key system. This vehicle has the optional console-mounted 6-disc CD changer, and a power moonroof. Because GPS was not an option we did add the aftermarket Garmin system which we will include with the original manuals though it hasn't been used in some time and is not powering up. We will also include the full set of keys and the books that came with the vehicle including the towing attachment. At the time of its sales debut in early 1996, the LX 450 sold at a $7,000 price premium over the Land Cruiser. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns. We are glad to provide more detailed photos if there are some that are difficult to gauge.

This vehicle is in unbelievable condition given its age. Admittedly a few of the chips have come as of late because my mother moved into a condo where the parking spots are a bit less forgiving than the garaged she was used to. The only reason we are selling this vehicle is that it has grown difficult for my 92 year old grandmother to climb in and out. This car has been pampered`and always garaged since new. It was recently fully clayed and detailed at a cost of almost $500 and is started daily but no longer being driven. Best of luck and if you have been looking for a great example of these highly sought after SUV's this one will not disappoint.


Questions:

Q: Would you please send me or add to the ad a photo of both of the differential lock switch to the left of the steering wheel and the vehicle identification sheet affixed to the driver's door which shows the production date and codes. I am very interested in this vehicle.
Thanks
A: Apologies but we aren't able to add more photos to the listing as we exceeded our limit at 24. We will gladly send you these photos and answer any questions you may have. This vehicle does not have front and rear locking differentials. Thanks so much for catching my error!!

Q: I was wanting to see if you could tell me more about the accident that is listed in the auto check report? Does the the vehicle have any oil or fluid leaks or check engine light codes? Also could you email me a couple more pictures, specifically of the label on the inside of the drivers door with the VIN and transmission codes and also underneath of the front axle knuckles. My email address is ... Thanks, SeanFeb-24-14
A: Thanks for your questions and taking a look at our listing. The accident was a very minor impact at low speed to the rear passenger side of the vehicle. There was a very minor repair that was completed at Lexus of Tampa. I am trying to load more photos as they have been requested but ebay limits us to 24. If I am unable to upload I will gladly email to you later today. There are no leaks whatsoever and all of the electronics and lights work perfectly. The check engine light is not on. Could you help me understand "underneath of the front axle knuckles"? Forgive me but my automotive knowledge doesn't run too deep.

Lexus reveals LF-NX crossover concept for Frankfurt

Wed, 04 Sep 2013

Compact luxury crossovers are becoming big business for upscale automakers. Mercedes is slotting the new GLA beneath the GLK, BMW has the X1 below the X3, Audi has downsized from the Q5 to the Q3, and Lexus is keen to get in on the game. And to that end, Toyota's luxury division is coming to the Frankfurt Motor Show this year with the concept crossover you see here.
Previewed a couple of weeks ago with an enigmatic teaser, the LF-NX concept, in the company's own words, "explores the potential for a compact crossover within the Lexus model range." The latest adaptation of the "L-finesse" design language could be the sharpest and most stylistically Japanese we've seen yet, with the sharp creases of the signature spindle grille repeated all around for a razor-sharp look. Lexus only released one shot of the cabin, but it looks as sharp as the exterior and, while clearly stylized, looks essentially more production-ready than most show cars.
Lexus hasn't revealed much about the powertrain, saying only that it incorporates "a new variant of the Lexus Hybrid Drive system tuned for SUV performance." Whether it actually has an engine that Lexus will detail at the show remains to be seen, but you can delve into the press release below for more and scope out the five images released thus far in the gallery above for a closer look.

2013 Lexus IS F

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

Sometimes fortune really smiles on even shiftless car-reviewing Dutchmen like myself, I must admit. I had come into Austin, TX the week before I was supposed to meet up with the good people at Lexus, who had graciously invited me to drive the 2014 IS. I flew in early because Austin is a pretty good place to eat, as well as being a place that my wife doesn't live. Let me say that a nicer way... while my stunningly attractive wife pretty much represents all things good and light in this world, she does occasionally shoot me a sideways glance when I dig in for my fifth Tacodeli breakfast taco. Thankfully, I leave most of my good sense and information about the effects of high-calorie diets on lifespan at home with Molly when I come to Texas, so I can better focus my laser-like attention on car reviews and TexMex. You guys are worth it.
Aside from all the tacos, I was also lucky to be visiting town the weekend before South By Southwest really kicked off in earnest, because it was that Sunday that my good old buddy John, and my new old buddy Pat, were headed up to the Circuit of the Americas to see the first ever SCCA Majors event there. It was lucky that I had planned to be out at CotA, which is east of Austin, because that made it very slightly easier for a very nice woman named Marcia to bring me a 2013 Lexus IS F from Houston, roughly 150 miles away.
Marcia brought me the IS F to replace another press car, which was having mechanical troubles; I didn't ask for the fire-breathing IS but when it was offered up I figured I couldn't do much better as a warm up for the 2014 IS program I was about to go on. See, lucky right?

Lexus CT 200h gets four changes for 2016

Mon, Jul 27 2015

As Toyota rolls out its updated 2016 model range, it's clear that some refreshes are fresher than others. Whereas the 2016 Scion tC got breathed on, the 2016 Lexus CT 200h gets a mere glance, and only for a moment. Just four items differentiate the coming model from the one currently on sale, and three of those are optional: a chrome surround for the grille is standard; a moonroof, Lexus Enform Remote, and Lexus Service Connect are options. Lexus Enform Remote gives owners control of the car through an iOS or Android smartphone app so they can do things like unlock and lock the doors, remote start the engine, and locate the vehicle. Lexus Service Connect works through iOS or LexusDrivers.com site only and provides notes on vehicle health. Both services are by subscription. The CT 200h doesn't make a lot of headlines but it's a good performer for Lexus. It wins awards, it's the only luxury hybrid to get more than 40 miles per gallon, it's put up consistent sales numbers for the four years it's been on the market, and it's the brand's second-best-selling hybrid globally after the RX hybrid. We've already told you what's new, the press release below can tell you everything else you'd want to know. Related Video: 2016 Lexus CT 200h Offers Compact Attitude With Impressive MPG - 42 MPG EPA Estimated Combined Fuel Economy - F SPORT Package Delivers Sporty Performance - Peace of Mind with Lexus Enform Remote and Lexus Enform Service Connect July 24, 2015 - What do you get when Lexus melds a sporty luxury compact with an environmentally conscientious attitude? The 2016 CT 200h. With an EPA-estimated 42 MPG combined fuel economy the CT 200h is one of six hybrid models Lexus offers for 2016. Lexus has been the hybrid luxury leader since it introduced the first luxury hybrid more than 10 years ago. The CT 200h broke new ground for Lexus, introducing the brand to a younger generation of highly discerning customers. They, too, quickly discovered the refinement and driving pleasure that characterize the progressive luxury inherent in every Lexus. A sporty chassis keeps the CT 200h connected to the road's curves, and for 2016, the dashing look is enhanced with a chrome surround grille. Drivers can also now opt in for additional peace of mind with Lexus Enform Remote and Lexus Enform Service Connect. Lexus Enform Remote (subscription required), allows the owner to remotely view and control certain vehicle features using a mobile app for iOS and Android devices.
