This is probably one of the better Lexus GS300 AWD vehicles available for sale today.
When I decided on a Lexus GS300 AWD in March of 2014, I looked at every one that came on the market within a 150
mile radius. This was by far the best one I found. I think I looked at and drove more than thirty. There were many
that advertised an “accident free” history, but when I got there the car had obviously been hit. There even was
one that the seller insisted had never been in an accident, but the back door could not be opened more then 18”
wide, and made much noise when being opened. I must confess that I am a very discerning buyer when it comes to
cars. This car had the full history from when the car was first purchased from the dealer, was the cleanest inside,
and the body showed NO evidence of ever having been hit. I looked for three months before finding this car.
The car has 111.650 miles on it, but many of the engine parts are NEW. Since I purchased the car in June of 2014
the following parts on the engine have been replaced:
New alternator, December 2014
New gasket kit, December 2014
New piston ring set, December 2014
New gasket, December 2014
New water pump, December 2014
I took it into the Lexus dealer because I felt it was consuming too much oil. Lexus tested it and found that the
oil control rings were clogged. Lexus replaced the oil control rings, piston rings, valve seals and cleaned those
areas. Many of the engine parts are now new, so the engine is probably in better shape than others for sale with
fewer miles. While they had the engine apart I opted to have the water pump and alternator replaced also.
I really like this car and do not really want to sell it, but I have no choice. I had an injury prior to buying the
car, and did not realize at that time what medical issues and expenses would come before the end of the year. I am
only selling it because I need cash. I have purchased an older ES300, and am, unfortunately, selling this car.
Here is what the dealer said about the car when it came in on trade.

Lexus talks LFA successor

Sat, 09 Aug 2014

Did you just miss out on purchasing one of the 500 Lexus LFA supercars built between 2010 and 2012? "No big deal," you're probably thinking, "I'll just wait until the next time Lexus builds a supercar." Well, we're afraid that you'll be waiting quite a long time. And by long time, we mean about 30 years.
That's according to a report from Bloomberg, which indicates that yes, Lexus is looking at a follow-up to the V10-powered, carbon-fiber-bodied LFA.
"Akio [Toyoda] believes that every generation deserves to have a car like an LFA, so we're building an LFA for the generation we have today," Lexus Executive Vice President Mark Templin told Bloomberg. "At some point, there may be another special car for another generation."

Updated Lexus CT200h coming next year, new variants reported

Thu, 10 Oct 2013

Lexus has had a minor success on its hands with the CT200h, a funky, five-door, sport-luxury hybrid that burst onto the scene in 2011, and managed just over 17,000 US sales in 2012. Worked out to a monthly average, that's nearly 50 percent more units per month than Lexus initially targeted when the car went on sale.
Though it's done well, the CT has been left behind while designers and engineers have reworked the rest of the Lexus lineup, bringing out fully revamped versions of the GS, IS and LS over the past few years. According to a report from Down Under, though, the little CT will get some attention soon.
Speaking to Sean Hanley, boss of Lexus Australia, Aussie site The Motor Report picked up a telling quote about the execs affections for the CT, when he said, "We see the CT200h as our greatest opportunity." Hanley added that a refresh of the CT could happen early in 2014, while a clean-sheet reworking would happen around 2016.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
