SC430

This is my 2002 Lexus SC430 that I have owned for nearly 4 years. I believe it has all the options available: leather, touch-screen navigation, Mark Levinson 9-speaker sound system, rear spoiler, heated seats with memory, CD changer, HomeLink, etc. You can get the full list of equipment here under 'Specifications'. The color is called 'Absolutely Red', and it is absolutely the color to have. The red and tan color combo with the maple wood is just killer. The wood is real bird's-eye maple, no plastic imitations here. It has 18" Sporza D5 chrome wheels replacing those ugly stock things.

The tires and rear brakes are nearly new, less than 2,000 miles. Fresh oil change and NH state inspection in September. The retractable hardtop works flawlessly, as do all other creature comforts, no excuses. It has been stored indoors in winters. Complete with owner's manuals, full factory service manuals, nav DVD, socket for wheel locks, 2 keys with remote, and service records during my ownership.

I will also include a space-saver spare tire. The SC430 was shipped from the factory with no spare because it had run-flat tires. I don't like run-flats, so it now has regular 245/40R18 tires. I bought a spare off eBay, just in case. You can also get a kit from Lexus (or eBay) that has all the components to make this fit nicely in the trunk, but I didn't bother. The Lexus tools are also included.

This has a rebuilt title. It was originally a Florida car, and was involved in an accident there in 2008. It was purchased from the insurance company and professionally repaired in Illinois. I do not have pictures before repair or know exactly what happened; I just know it was in the front. When I purchased it in 2009, I had it inspected by Lexus of Northborough, MA, and they said all work had been done correctly and there was no suspension or frame damage. It now has 58,000 miles on it, and I have had -zero- problems with it beyond regular maintenance. This is a REBUILT title, not a SALVAGE title - big difference, no hassles with registration or insurance. Unless you are looking to buy a car that is still under warranty, this should be a non-issue, but please check with your own DMV to be sure. The dealer just completed an airbag recall that came out in September - full service, full tank of gas, and a car wash, all no charge. I also own an Acura RL and a Mercedes SL55 AMG, and in my experience, Lexus service is by far the best. This is an excellent chance to get an absolutely great deal on a great car.
Lexus style with Toyota reliability.
There are a couple of issues. Nothing awful, but just so you know. The driver's seat has a scratch in the bottom leather. Not too bad, looks like maybe someone had a screwdriver in their pocket. See photo. The nose has many stone chips from lots of highway driving. Again, see photos. This is not a new car, so please don't expect it to be. But even with the stone chips and some very small nicks, the paint is gorgeous. The interior shows some age in the driver leather, but is overall very nice. I don't think the rear seat has ever been used.

Please review all pictures below and call or e-mail me with questions. NOTE: the black thing with a wire on the top right corner of the windshield is an antenna for my portable satellite radio. The antenna is magnetic and will be removed prior to sale.

If you want to talk, contact Dennis @ 603-249-6 oh 7 one. I'm in Spofford, NH, just outside Keene, less than 2 hours from Boston or Hartford. I am not a dealer, no fees, no taxes, no games. Title in hand - please know what a rebuilt title means. Inspections welcome BEFORE bidding. It may get a few more miles on it before I let it go. I will assist in any way I can in shipping, but shipping expenses are the responsibility of the buyer. Pickup zip code is 03462. Car does not leave the garage until all payments have cleared. I will need a $500 Paypal deposit within 48 hours, and the balance within 10 days. I recommend bank transfer for the least hassle; I will provide details if you choose this method of payment. Good ol' Ben Franklins also work well. For sale locally, ad may be canceled at any time.

Mercedes, Infiniti, Lexus rank tops with mystery shoppers

Thu, 11 Jul 2013

If you want the best experience possible when buying a new car, then you'd better head down to your local Mercedes-Benz, Infiniti, or Lexus showroom. According a mystery shopper study conducted by the Pied Piper Prospect Satisfaction Index, those three luxury brands ranked highest among the 33 makes surveyed. The highest scoring mainstream brands included GMC, Hyundai, Kia, and Ford.
The study asked 5,203 mystery shoppers about the tactics used by salespeople during their most recent automotive purchases, and found a few interesting parallels along the way. For example, dealers at Infiniti, Land Rover, and Smart leaned heavily on vehicle walk-arounds with potential customers, while Jaguar, Volvo, and Audi were quick to point out exclusive features.
This study contrasts with a similar study conducted by JD Power in 2012. Its Sales Satisfaction Survey listed Mini as the top scorer, while Pied Piper's mystery shoppers ranked the BMW-owned brand below the industry average. Lexus scored highly on both surveys, as did Infiniti and GMC.

What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name

Thu, 07 Aug 2014

The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?

Lexus teases new luxury concept for Tokyo

Wed, Oct 21 2015

Lexus certainly doesn't want to reveal any secrets about the concept premiering at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show on October 28. The company's teaser simply shows a squinting LED headlight with a devilish, hooked tail running underneath. Plus, the dearth of descriptive text merely says that the vehicle is a "vision of progressive luxury." While there's not much useful info, some recent rumors might hint at what we're looking at. One possibility is the concept providing a peek at the next-gen LS because the rounded, current generation no longer matches the rest of the Japanese brand's sharper styling. Reports earlier this year even suggest a fuel-cell version under development as part of a hydrogen push in Japan. This range-topping model could potentially weigh even less than the current hybrid by adapting the powertrain from the Toyota Mirai. The less likely alternative is a concept pointing the way towards Lexus' second flagship. Reportedly a successor to the SC, the model isn't rumored to debut until the 2016 Detroit Auto Show. Still, the company could shuffle things around, and we look forward to seeing what's worth being so coy about in Tokyo in just a few days. Lexus' Vision of Progressive Luxury at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show October 21, 2015 See it all here, at 13:45 (JST) on October 28th. What do you want to see and know about most from the Lexus booth?
