Up for sale is my mint 2010 Lexus IS-F. It's finished in the best color, Matador Mica Red over black leather interior. The car is fully loaded except for park assist. It has been dealer maintained it's entire life and had every oil change done at a Lexus dealer. Absolutely no issues and has been remarkably reliable with zero issues in the time i've owned it. I'm extremely anal retentive and pride myself on keeping my cars very clean. The leather interior is cleaned and conditioned every other week. The car is washed once or twice a week using the two bucket method and a foam gun to ensure no swirls or scratches are put into the paint during cleaning. As you can see from the pictures the paint is gorgeous and looks like a red mirror. It gets a paint correction every 6 months to keep it looking perfect. In the sun it's truly incredible and turns heads. By far the best color for the IS-F (though i'm obviously biased). Car includes 2 sets of floor mats (one brand new) and one original set as well as a ISF sunshade from Sewell Lexus.

With so many 08 and 09 IS-F's on the market at sub 40k prices it's prudent to explain why the 2010 is worth the extra coin for those who haven't researched these cars. The differences for the 2010 IS-F are as follows:

Hard Drive Based Navigation (Upgradeable via USB with Lexus Map updates). Not DVD based like the old ISF. Interface and maps are much more high-res.
USB/Ipod/Bluetooth Integration
True Mechanical LSD (not "e-LSD" that is terrible). The acceleration from a dig or out of corners is entirely changed. Transforms the car on and off the track (though my car has never been tracked).
Revised Suspension
New Sport Steering Configuration
Black Interior Trim Around Navigation
New Wheel Design

Overall the 2010's are the first revised version of the IS-F and a distinct upgrade compared to the 2008/9. The 08/09's were also susceptible to navigation failure as well as waterpump leaking. The waterpump on this car was pre-emptively replaced by Lexus with the new version under warranty to protect against this possibility in the future.

The car is being offered up with a low reserve realistic for a car with these amount of miles and in this condition. If you want a cared for car that will give you no trouble this is the one. It is enthusiast owned and only being sold to move into a GTR. I truly love this car and it's a spectacular all-rounder that can hang with the M3 and C63 without the reliability nightmare and maintenance costs and liability. I work from home so it's not daily driven by only taken out as more of a weekend car. It's garage kept, warmed up fully, and only used in manual mode after the transmission is warmed up to "2 bars". This is not a car that has beaten or abused in any way.

Car is available for inspection by 3rd party or PPI. A 1000.00 non-refundable deposit is due via Paypal or wire within 24 hours of the auction close. I reserve the right to end the auction for a local sale.

Toyota and Lexus recalling 235,000 hybrid CUVs and sedans over separate issues

Wed, 04 Sep 2013

When it rains, it pours. Toyota has announced a pair of separate but voluntary North America recalls covering approximately 235,000 vehicles built between 2006 and 2011. The larger of the two recalls targets Toyota's hybridized crossovers, the Lexus RX400h and Toyota Highlander Hybrid. 133,000 units, including 2006-2010 Highlander and 2006-2008 RX crossovers are covered in the campaign. The other recall affects 102,000 IS350 sedans, IS350C convertibles and GS350 sedans built between 2006 and 2011.
With the CUVs, the faults in the parallel circuits of the transistors can cause heat damage in the inverter assembly, triggering an abundance of warning lamps and sending the vehicle into limp mode. The Lexus sedans are being recalled due to loose bolts on the variable valve timing controller. Detected by unusual underhood sounds on startup, the issue can cause the engine to stop while driving. The inverter issue is also triggering similar recalls in Japan and Europe.
At the moment, it's unclear if any of these issues have caused any crashes or injuries. Toyota says it plans to notify owners of the recall via snail mail. Additional information for owners can be found on the recall sites for Toyota and Lexus or by calling Toyota's customer service line, at 1-800-331-4331.

Lexus coupe caught in spy shots actually RC, headed for Tokyo reveal?

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

Lexus may have pulled a fast one on us. The car our spy shooters spotted yesterday may not, in fact, be an IS F Coupe as we indicated. Rather, the car shown above may be a new model, dubbed RC, that will arrive at this year's Tokyo Motor Show.
Following a report from Automotive News, the RC is believed to be a pure coupe, rather than a hardtop convertible. This gels with information provided on the IS sedan's launch, when Lexus spokespeople said the IS Convertible would remain on the current platform. With styling based on the LF-CC from the 2012 Paris show, the new car will share a rear-drive platform with the IS and GS sedans.
Power is expected to come from a 3.5-liter V6 that turns out 306 horsepower. That car will likely wear the RC 350 badge. A hybrid model is expected to follow, but in a twist, it won't be coming to the US. The big news, though, is that the RC will spawn an RC F.

Lexus pushing upmarket as others move down, LF-LC production hinted [w/video]

Mon, 09 Dec 2013

Jeff Bracken, Lexus' US group vice president and general manager, knows his company lost its position as America's biggest luxury brand back in 2011, and it's a mantle that his employer probably won't be getting back any time soon. That's because Lexus is electing not to follow the luxury segment's downmarket trend any more than its $32,500 CT 200h hybrid hatchback. "Since we won't be going down below $30,000, it will be very difficult for us to ever regain luxury leadership," Bracken admitted on Autoline After Hours late last week.
Rivals Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi all have new low-end entries on sale or in the wings to entice new buyers and fortify their CAFE scores, but Lexus has Toyota and Scion to capture sales underneath its lineup. Instead, Bracken hints that Lexus is going upmarket and higher-performance, fueling ongoing rumors of a LFA successor, or perhaps a new offering based on the lauded 2012 LF-LC coupe concept shown above, a production version of which could also slot in where the unloved SC convertible left off. "We need to begin bringing to market luxury performance... higher performance vehicles. IS-F certainly was the beginning of that, maybe on the lower end," says Bracken.
Later in the online video interview show, Bracken gets even more candid:
