Up for auction is an AWD 2005 Lexus RX330 with slight damage to the passenger side front fender.   This is the Thunderclould edition of the RX which is a rare and desireable edition.   The Thunderclould has a different front grill, rims and the interior wood is a dark grain as opposed to the brown grain on the regular models.   My wife bought this vehicle new so it is a 1 owner vehicle.   Title is clear and in hand.   Runs and drives great but it is a 2005 model year vehicle with 142k miles on it.   So it is going to have some wear.   I like being completely honest in my listings so I am going to list some of the "flaws"  and positives this lexus has.

  • As noted above there is damage to the passenger side front fender.   This was a hit and run parking lot accident that happened while my wife was a work.   Does not effect the driveability of the car at all.   It does limit the front passenger door opening to about 3/4 of what it should open.   You can force it open all the way but it binds quite a bit.   The leading edge of the door has some paint chipped off from opening the door all the way.
  • The front passenger door has a quarter size door ding in it.   I have included a picture of this.
  • The tires are in great shape but the wheels could use to be refinished.   Some of them have bubbling in the paint on them.   Not sure why this happened?
  • Driver side rear marker light is cracked and not working.   I bought a replacement but mistakenly bought the one for the passenger side!   I will include it with the vehicle sale.
  • Interior is in great shape but does have a couple of stains in the carpet.   All new lexus floor mats have been installed.
  • Front bumper and leading edge of the hood have rock chips / slight sandblasting from the exclusive highway usage.
  • Oil has been changed every 7k miles with Mobile One synthetic oil.
  • Battery was replaced last year.
  • HID front headlights that turn as you go around curves.
  • 6 disc CD changer
  • Sunroof
  • Power rear lift gate
  • Newer Goodyear Assurance tires
  • All electronics work as they should and the air blows ice cold.

This has been a well used and well taken care of vehicle by us.   My wife recently bought a new Jeep Grand Cherokee.   We had been keeping it as a 3rd vehicle but we just don't use it enough to justify keeping it anymore.   I will be happy to answer any questions about the vehicle and its condition.   $750 deposit due at acution end and the balance within 7 days.   Buyer is responible for vehicle pick up and or shipping.   Vehicle is located in Morgantown, WV.   Thanks for viewing my auction and have a great day.

What does a million-mile car really tell us?

Fri, Sep 18 2015

A million miles. Nearly every car brand and motor oil company plays the million-mile marketing racket at some point. The typical recipe is to take a car that experienced a ton of low-stress highway miles, and make it a rolling testament to the long-term qualities of whatever reputation you're trying to prop up. Saab, Lincoln, Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chrysler. It's a tired game that I would normally just consider one of the pointless ranking exercises of our time. But the truth is, when it comes to a car's longevity, it's almost always the owner that makes the real difference, not the brand. Like a pitcher at a baseball game, the owner mostly determines the victories and the defeats for his car. Some specific models are the basement dwellers of our time – I'm looking at you, Chrysler car with the 2.7-liter engine! But a lot of cars and trucks hit right around the average that is a powertrain whose longevity is mainly determined by that person who turns the key and hopefully learns that patient art of long-term ownership. The best owners are the ones who deserve the attention. So with that in mind, let me introduce you to Matt Farah's Million Mile Lexus. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. This Lexus could be written off as another cynical marketing exercise in this business, performed by those who didn't do the real driving in the past and have no plans at all on doing the bulk of the driving in the future. Matt's actually doing a few things that are genuinely cool, though. Letting other auto journalists and enthusiasts drive it along the way and giving Regular Car Reviews a crack at it. Focusing on the rare virtues of the first-generation Lexus, which, to be frank, can out-diesel a diesel. There is a great story to be had with this car. This isn't a car that was "going to the junkyard" and magically given the kiss of life. That story is far more vast than a guy who bought a high-mileage car in great overall condition. This isn't a car that was "going to the junkyard" and magically given the kiss of life so that it can endure the ages. This Lexus, like all other high-mileage models worthy of our love, has been given one hell of a good maintenance regimen by the prior owners. It was taken care of and primarily maintained at the dealership, where it probably received the best parts and service, thanks in enormous part to owners who were willing to pay that exorbitantly high bill.

Lexus IS, new and old, and LFA to make splash at SEMA

Mon, 04 Nov 2013

Lexus has announced its Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show cars: a group of eight Lexus IS sedans spanning all three generations, and a 2012 LFA supercar. One of the show cars, a custom 2014 Lexus IS 350 F Sport, is a creation penned by IS fan Rob Evans, the winner of a contest to design a Lexus SEMA show car.
The standouts in the group of Lexus IS show cars, in no particular order, are a 700-horsepower 2014 Lexus IS 340 (it has a heavily modified Toyota Supra inline six swapped in, which is stroked out to 3.4 liters, hence the nomenclature change) by Philip Case and a supercharged 2004 Lexus IS 300 by Maricar Cortez. Both cars prove that oldies can be goodies - the venerable Supra 2JZTE engine, which ceased production over a decade ago, lives on in a 2014 platform, and the 2004 IS 300 gets a supercharger and remains relevant through the use of electronics, such as a back-up radar sensor, upgraded headlights and more.
Of course, the LFA by Guy S. De Alwis will be a stand out on its own, but unfortunately Lexus only provided us with a couple pictures that don't do it justice. We'll have to take a closer look at it on the show floor. Same goes for the IS penned by contest-winner Rob Evans, of which only a rendering was provided.

Lexus files to copyright LC 500 nameplates [UPDATE]

Mon, Dec 8 2014

UPDATE: Reached for comment, Lexus told Autoblog that it "cannot offer comment on the potential naming of a production version of the LF-LC concept" and pointed out that automakers trademark nameplates as a matter of course. Some automakers already slap a production-ready name on their concepts, but not Lexus. The Japanese automaker typically labels its show cars with the letters LF-XX. So when we heard that Toyota had green-lit the LF-LC concept for production, we naturally started wondering what name the production version would carry. But if the latest intel is any indication, we can stop wondering. According to Lexus Enthusiast, the automaker has filed to trademark the names LC 500 and LC 500h in a variety of markets – including the United States, Canada and Australia. The application tells us a number of things: first of all, that the LF-LC will retain that second set of letters along the road to production (like the NX but unlike other recent Lexus concepts). And secondly, it indicates what engines we can expect to find under the hood. The 500 designation would seem to suggest that the base version of Lexus' upcoming halo sports car will pack the 5.0-liter V8 from the RC F. The bigger question mark is over the hybrid version. Current gasoline-electric models in the company's lineup include the RX 450h (based on a 3.5-liter V6) and the LS 600h (with a 5.0-liter V8). For the LC 500h, Lexus could be planning a more potent electric motor to mate to the 3.5L V6, or planning a new powertrain altogether.
