No Reserve

1997 Lexus LX 450

165,748 miles

White with Tan Leather

Front, center and rear Locking Differentials that engage and disengage properly

Mostly Southern Truck: 3 years in Florida, then 3 Years in Ohio, then the previous owner owned it for the last 11 years in Georgia

Only a little minor rust on the undercarriage, see pics

No Check Engine Light

Cold AC 

Power windows, mirrors and locks work well, power antenna just replaced (after pics were taken).  

Interior is clean and odor free.  

Driver seat leather is cracking. 

Driver side seat motor gear is stripped out for the front to back adjustment.  I think the seat is currently in the rear most position, which, due to the leg room in these is suitable for people of average height or taller. 

If the buyer/winning bidder so chooses I can recover the seats with high quality Lexus pattern leather and fix the driver seat gear for $1250 before delivery.  (Leather from MetricTLC.)  (Its a good bit of labor and I don't really want to do it, just offering the service to the buyer.) I have done this on a few other 80s, I just haven't had the time to do this one.  Payment for the vehicle would come first, then I would do the work.  (If it were me, Id probably drive it as is until the leather gets really bad and/or put some nice canvas seat covers on it.)   I can also fix just the seat motor for $250 if buyer so chooses.  (I don't really want or have the time to do that either, just offering it to help facilitate the sale.)  

No third row seats.  (They are not real useful and you would probably take them out and store them in your garage or attic anyway.)

Cosmetically, the exterior has a few blemishes here and there, consistent with most 17 year old vehicles.  There are some spots on the roof and a few scuffs here and there, nothing major.  The Autocheck shows one accident in 2005 so it had some paintwork, but not sure exactly where.  Vehicle retains all its original body panels and glass.   

The vehicle runs and drives great, needs nothing that I am aware of, and I am very familiar with 80 series Land Cruisers/LX450s.  No smoke, no funny noises.  Leaks a little bit of oil underneath, like most 80s, but not bad.  

Comes with books and manuals, full tool kit and jack, Lexus key and remote. 

Fresh oil and filter change with Shell Rotella 15w-40 and Toyota filter.

This is a really solid truck that I have been driving often for the last couple of months.  

You may notice that this truck did NOT have the roof rack which is common on these.  These racks were installed at the port or dealer, not the factory and are known to cause rust and leaking issues due to the holes drilled in the roof.  This is a sought after feature among Land Cruiser enthusiasts.  

This is a rare vehicle in that it is the last year of the 80 Series Land Cruiser/LX450 with lockers, no roof rack, white in color, relatively low miles (under 175k) and 90% rust free.

Toyota Hilux gets heart transplant from Lexus IS F

Thu, Sep 10 2015

The Toyota Hilux might not be sold in the US, but Toyota's venerable pickup has an international reputation of being able to go anywhere and do just about anything. The trucks aren't really known for their speed, though, at least until Toyota South Africa Motorsport's new, one-off project. This bruiser ditches the usual diesel engine and replaces it with an unrestricted 5.0-liter V8 from a Lexus IS F making 449 horsepower. Of course, it takes more than power to handle the rigors of high speed off-roading. The motorsport team also adds bigger, competition-spec brakes, fully adjustable dampers, new springs, and retuned gearing to make the truck look practically ready for the Dakar Rally. The gearbox is really the only part that carries over. The V8 gives the special Hilux quite a mean growl, too. With the new Tacoma just launching in the US, maybe the engineers at TRD need to apply this same concept over here for its own Lexus-engined, one-off pickup.

2015 Lexus RC 300h is a hardcore hybrid cherry coupe

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

Lexus is tag-teaming back into the hardcore coupe ring with this, the red rum RC 300h that's jumping off the top rope to "[inject] emotional appeal into the Lexus DNA." It's the hybrid version of the twin, powered by a 2.5-liter V6 aided by a 105-kW electric motor, the pair putting out 217 total horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque through a continuously variable transmission. The RC's other, more conventional half will come with a 3.5-liter V6 with 314 hp and 380 lb-ft shifted with an eight-speed sequential transmission.
The brand doesn't want you to take this RC Coupe for a two-door version of the IS. It's based on the GS platform but its dimensions are unique, being wider, lower and shorter in wheelbase than the IS. Concept-car headlights flank the most extreme version of the spindle grille yet seen on a production car, and the lighting novelty continuing in the cabin with illumination that is aimed up instead of down. The package will ride on either 18- or 19-inch wheels.
The "high contrast," dual-zone cabin is graced with shimamoku wood and Lexus' Remote Touch Interface, and Lexus says the seats have been conceived via an "integrated foaming construction method" like racing seats - we think they look spectacular stitched up in this carmel-colored leather.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky

Fri, 24 Aug 2012

It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
