This vehicle currently does NOT RUN RIGHT.  I've owned this SUV for about 3 years. Here's what I know about it: 


GOOD STUFF: 
1999 Lexus RX300 AWD V6 motor with approximately 190,000 miles with tan leather interior and a "bronze and gray" two-tone colored exterior. Put a new battery $80 on it last fall, new struts/shocks put on last fall $400, new brakes $74, and a new set of $800 tires with less than 1,000 miles on them. Just had the transmission fluid and filter changed, which was $147 before it was parked. Always had the oil changed at 3,000 miles. Put a new OCV for the right hand side $100. The sound system is excellent with a built in 6 disc CD changer. Has the auto climate control. Heated seats. Moonroof and alloy wheels. Clean clear title in hand and ready to transfer. I only have one key for it. Other than a few surface scratches the exterior is in good condition. Interior is in fair condition. Needs to be detailed.

BAD STUFF: 
I parked it last fall and I think I drove it one time this past winter. When I went out to start it this spring, it had to be jump started because the battery was dead. It has a brand new battery on it that I purchased last fall, so there may be a short somewhere. After jump starting it, it would not run right. The interior lights and the headlights are flickering the whole time and when I put it in drive it dies. The A/C compressor had went out last fall, so that is one thing that I know will need to be replaced. The interior could use a good cleaning, but isn't in bad shape - the driver's seat is ripped on the side where you get in and out. The last known issue is that you can only put 8 gallons of gas in at a fill up. Its been that way since I bought it and the buyer did not make me aware of the issue. I'm not sure what needs to be done to fix that problem, but I've just dealt with the entire time I've had it.

So, after reading all of that please understand that I've been completely honest about the SUV and NO, I'M NOT SURE WHATS WRONG WITH IT AND NO, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS SOMETHING MAJOR OR SOMETHING SMALL, BUT IT WILL NEED TO BE HAULED / TOWED. WILL NEED TO BE TRANSFERRED OUT OF MY NAME AND TAXES TO BE PAID BY THE BUYER BEFORE IT LEAVES THE HOUSE. CURRENTLY LICENSED TIL NOVEMBER in Kentucky. 

Buyer is to make a $500 deposit within 24 hours of the auction close. If there is a remaining balance on the vehicle, that is to be paid within 7 days of the purchase date. Buyer assumes the responsibility of arranging the haul of the vehicle. If you are a buyer from out of state, you will need to find out what forms that your state requires for licensing. If you wanted to buy the SUV just for parts, I will expect you to pay for the junk title fee. This vehicle is sold AS IS with no warranty implied. Do not bid unless you are willing to pay.

2015 Lexus RC 350

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

Luxury coupes like this new, 2015 Lexus RC 350 have got, to my mind, a more challenging mission than their all-out-performance variants; in this case, the recently reviewed RC F.
That's not to say that I think actual owners and shoppers of cars like the RC F, BMW M4 and Cadillac CTS-V Coupe only care about output figures and lap times. In fact I'd say that those are outliers in terms of how they get used most often. But the story that we reviewers tell - and that shoppers in the ego-boosted segment tell themselves before they pull the trigger - have a lot to do with what the car is capable of on the edge of its envelope.
Mainstream coupes can't rely on that kind of irrational pull, however, at least outside of the emotional world of styling persuasion. For a buyer to drop more than $40,000 on the RC 350, he or she will want tons of features, comfort, good looks, and, yes, a dash of sportiness to spice of the pot. Reason and desire seem a lot more balanced here. That's great news for Lexus, with its history of creating sensible luxury cars and a pretty composed luxury coupe in this new RC.

The 2019 North American International Auto Show might have been a little more quiet than past years, but there were still some pretty major reveals, including the Toyota Supra, new Ford Explorer, Shelby GT500, Subaru WRX STI S209 and Kia Telluride. We also saw some lovely concepts like the Nissan IMs and Lexus LC Convertible. Senior Editor Alex Kierstein, Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski and Senior Green Editor John Beltz Snyder join me, Associate Editor Reese Counts — with Social Media Manager Michael Dylan Ferrara behind the camera — on a long walk through the show. We discuss cars, poke around the stands, dress a bloody wound and answer your questions in the Facebook comments.

Construction of Lexus' first US assembly line underway

Thu, 09 Jan 2014

The ES is Lexus' top-selling sedan, but the Japanese luxury marque has never manufactured it outside of Japan. In fact, Lexus has never made any cars in the United States, one of its largest markets worldwide. But that's about to change.
Yesterday, construction began in Georgetown, Kentucky, on the first Lexus assembly line in America, the first concrete (or steel) step in a $360-million expansion of Toyota's plant in the Bluegrass state that will create 750 new jobs. The expansion was announced last April by chief executive Akio Toyoda at the New York Auto Show.
Once the new assembly line gets online in the fall of next year, Toyota plans on building some 50,000 units of the ES each year. Lexus sold a record 72,581 examples of the ES in the United States last year - 30 percent more than the previous year - so Lexus will either have to import some more from overseas or leave some buyers disappointed.
