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.

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 GX, Toyota Land Cruiser Prado facelifts leaked

Thu, 22 Aug 2013

The Lexus GX and the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, which isn't sold in the US, have gone without visual updates since the current generation was launched in 2009. But what appear to be patent filing sketches and pictures of the sibling sports utility vehicles' mid-cycle updates have been leaked on a Russian Land Cruiser Club forum.
Major changes to the GX's front end will be made to incorporate Lexus' signature grille. Gone are the awkwardly shaped headlamps and the soft-looking triple-slat grille. The sketch shows the Lexus with a new bumper, lower-profile headlights and a more aggressive, angular grille with one more slat and a gaping lower air-intake opening. The vehicle's profile looks unchanged, but the rear bumper will be reshaped slightly to fit new, better-integrated horizontal reflectors.
The Toyota gets a handful of styling updates as well, including a new front bumper with higher-profile headlamps that look a bit out of place to us. The Prado's profile also looks unchanged, but the rear end gets restyled taillights and a reshaped license-plate enclosure.

Lexus LF-LC Concept goes blue, remains happy

Thu, 29 Nov 2012

Until the day when we can see a production version of the Lexus LF-LC Concept, we'll just make do with seeing the sleek two-door in different colors for now. After first showing us the car in a Candy Apple Red color at the Detroit Auto Show, Lexus has brought its LF-LC Blue (in a deep ocean blue) from Down Under to LA.
Aside from the new color, there's nothing new for us to see here. That means we were still ogling over its flowing body lines, impressed by its 500-horsepower hybrid drive system and looking forward to possibly seeing the car go into production.
