This Lexus was left for me after my Grandfather passed away in September of 2013. My uncle had replaced the engine around 2 years ago with one that has roughly 120,000 miles on it, but the entire SUV has about 240,000 miles on it total. I drove it from Houston back to Waxahachie and it ran great, and only needed minor work (O2 Sensors) A few months ago I was going to trade it for a Harley when the thermostat went out and overheated on me. I'm pretty sure the head gasket needs to be replaced. I was going to do the Blue Steel liquid treatment and get it fixed up, but now I just want to get rid of it to pay off some bills. So here's the run down.

The Good:
CLEAN TITLE
Brakes were very recently replaced.
AWESOME stereo system.
Leather Seats
A/C Unit was replaced less than 2 years ago.
Engine was replaced 2 years ago as well, and has an estimated 120,000 miles on it.
If you decide to part it out, it has PLENTY of good parts on it to sell. I have no interest in parting it out.

The Not-so-good:
Thermostat needs to be replaced.
Check engine light is on (for many obvious reasons)
As stated in the title, it more than likely needs the head gasket replaced.
The O2/Air sensors need to be replaced as well, BUT I will provide them. They're almost $300 new, and I bought them right before it broke down on me.
The number six spark plug needs to be replaced (probably from anti-freeze getting into the cylinder when the gasket blew)
Needs a new knock sensor.
Battery is dead.
Radio antenna motor needs to be replaced.
Windshield has long crack in it.
Paint on front bumper, and headlights is flaking.

Before the head gasket blew, I drove it to work from Waxahachie to Las Colinas every day, and made weekend trips to Austin regularly as well. It was a strong running SUV, with lots of room. Kelly Blue Book values it at $3897.00 in it's current condition, but I'd like $2800 for it for quick sale, or best offer. Obviously this is a project, so you would need to get it towed. I previously had one offer for $3300 but the guy can't pick it up until October and I really don't want to wait that long. You could try to do a liquid head gasket treatment and see if that solves the problem and have yourself a nice Lexus for a decent price. Or you could part it out and make even more money off it!

I WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY SHIPPING ON THIS VEHICLE. YOU MUST HAVE IT TOWED FROM WAXAHACHIE, TEXAS (30 minutes south of Dallas) THE LEXUS IS BEING SOLD AS-IS.

If you have ANY questions, please let me know!

Lexus RX successor headed for NY Show

Sun, Jan 18 2015

The redesign of the popular Lexus RX crossover will finally make its official debut in April, at the 2015 New York Auto Show with an on-sale date slated for later in 2015, Edmunds is reporting. This will be an important job for Lexus, as its next-gen midsize luxury crossover will need to measure up to a segment that is very different than the one the current RX debuted in, way back in 2008. Cars like the BMW X3, Audi Q5 and Mercedes-Benz GLK are now supported on the lower end by more compact models. Lexus is no different; the RX has been joined by the entry level NX, allowing the Japanese luxury marque to do a bit more for the fourth-gen CUV. That means New York will herald a larger and pricier crossover, Edmunds claims, even boasting a third row. That fits with our previous round of spy photos. Despite the baby NX's hardcore, knife-edge styling, it's expected that the next RX will be a more evolutionary version of the current model's conservative looks. Still, as our previous spy photos show, there will be some Lexus styling trademarks, including a revised version of the current crossover's spindle grille. Keep your eyes open come April, as we can expect the full details on the 2016 Lexus RX.

2018 Lexus RX 450hL hybrid will start just over $50,000

Wed, Feb 7 2018

Lexus has announced pricing on its 2018 RX 450hL, saying that its new three-row, all-wheel-drive hybrid crossover will carry a starting MSRP just $1,550 higher than the non-hybrid AWD RX 350L when it goes on sale starting in April. The RX 450hL will start at $51,615, positioning it right in-between luxury crossover competitors like the Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 and Infiniti QX60. The Luxury package, which adds features like semi-aniline trimmed seats, interior LED ambient lighting, laser-cut wood trim and 20-inch machine-finished alloy wheels, bumps the price up to $55,550. Prices include a $995 delivery, processing and handling fee. Lexus says the 450hL will get new features like second-row captain's chairs, leather-trimmed seats and complimentary Lexus Inform Safety Connect and Service Connect membership for the first 10 years of ownership. Standard safety features include a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, lane-keep assistance, intelligent high beam headlights and all-speed dynamic radar cruise control. The RX 450hL combines a 3.5-liter V6 engine with two high-torque electric drive motor-generators to produce 308 in combined horsepower, with an EV mode allowing it to run on pure electric power at lower speeds for short periods. Lexus hasn't yet released fuel-economy figures for the hybrid, but the conventional RX 450h is rated at a combined 30 mpg by fueleconomy.gov. Lexus has added 4.3 inches to the rear body length of the 450hL and added more room for third-row occupants by incorporating a steeper tailgate. We've previously covered the introduction of the three-row RX 450hL and the 2018 RX 350L, which is powered by a 290-hp 3.5-liter V6 and is available in both front- and all-wheel-drive. The latter starts at $48,665 and goes up to $55,080. The RX line has been Lexus' best-selling model, with sales of 108,307 units in 2017.Related Video:
