Up for sale is my 2012 Lexus ISF in Matador Mica Red (rare color for ISF) with black leather and alcantara interior. This is a beautiful car as you will see in the pictures. As the original owner and an aerospace engineer, I have personally maintained this car and it is in flawless operating condition. The car has not been in any accidents or hit in anyway. The car has 45,384 miles, mostly highway (~85%), as this was my daily driver. The car has some tasteful modifications to enhance the driving sensation. These include PPE headers and a JoeZ full stainless exhaust (sounds great and should put down ~385-405 rwhp on dyno), D2 Forged rims, BC coilovers w/Swift springs, adjustable camber components and an Escort 9500Ci custom installed to name a few. I'm looking to sell the car as-is with the modifications, but will consider taking it back to stock for a slightly lower price, so if you are interested in the car in stock condition, make me a reasonable offer. If you do your homework, you will see that the Kelley Blue Book and NADA values range from $44,700 to $45,400 for stock car in excellent condition with this mileage. I will be pricing mine fairly with the modifications (~10k without the cost of the wheels or labor included - another $5k). This car is not an 'F Sport,' it is the real deal ISF! Here's your chance to own a V8 Lexus ISF - a rare breed in Matador Mica Red with a black interior. Car is located in Wellington, Florida. Title is clear but held by bank. Good luck!

Consumer Reports: Toyota expected to announce fix for emergency trunk releases

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

According to Consumer Reports, Toyota is set to release a fix for trunk release pulls on certain Lexus vehicles that could snap off in an emergency. As you may recall, CR found the federally-mandated emergency releases could break if pulled toward the user. As it turned out, the trunk surround behaved like a fulcrum, putting more force against the center of the release than toward the trunk mechanism itself. While the organization found the problem to exist on 2013 Lexus ES and GS, Toyota was able to replicate the flaw on the IS as well.
Toyota will alert 700,000 owners of 2007-2013 Lexus ES models, 2006-2012 IS vehicles and 2013 GS cars and replace the old ABS plastic release with a sturdier polypropylene part free of charge once the components are available to dealers. The service campaign is expected to begin in January.

What effect did Super Bowl ads have on online car searches?

Wed, Feb 4 2015

Lexus's Super Bowl ad Let's Play starring an RC version of the RC 350 sliding around wasn't really a big hit among Autoblog readers, with a pretty miserable 13 down-votes as of this writing, compared to the winning Nissan spot with 52 up-votes. The Japanese luxury brand doesn't need to feel blue about the results, though, because in at least one metric the commercial ranks as the most popular of the night. According to Adweek analyzing figures from Kelley Blue Book, the Lexus coupe saw an astounding 1,820-percent increase in searches on the auto pricing site, more than any other vehicle advertised during the game. Viewers were apparently intrigued by the BMW i3 because the EV came in second place with a 1,131-percent jump. Third place went to the Mercedes-AMG GT with a 950-percent boost from its whimsical ad. The lowest growth for the night was from Toyota with a 20-percent upswing for the Camry. In terms of brand searches, the Kia James Bond-inspired spot brought a 68-percent increase in searches to KBB's website, according to Adweek. Dodge scored a close second with a 62-percent bump, and Fiat's humorous ad apparently resonated enough for third place and a 52-percent jump in searches. Despite the RC 350's popularity, Lexus actually ended up at the bottom of the list with just 6 percent more visitors looking for the company. To explain the weird discrepancy, a Kelley Blue Book analyst explained to Adweek that visitors came to the site specifically looking for the RC 350 and to a lesser extent the NX, which saw a 48-percent jump in queries, but that interest didn't extend to the whole brand.

Buick, Lexus top J.D. Power survey, as vehicle service improves overall

Fri, Mar 17 2017

Buick and Lexus returned to their customary place atop J.D. Power's scorecard of satisfaction with dealership service departments. In the Customer Service Index Study, out Thursday, Buick scored 860 on a 1,000-point scale for mass-market brands and has topped this ranking in three of the past four years. Lexus topped the list of luxury brands with a score of 874. Fiat and Land Rover were the bottom-dwellers in the two categories. Buick and Lexus also ranked highly in the research company's overall Vehicle Dependability Study rankings out recently. The customer experience at car dealerships has improved steadily, with the overall industry score rising in seven of the past eight years. And one statistic is particularly remarkable: 94 percent of customers say their car was fixed right the first time. The dominant area of difficulty in repairs seems to be infotainment systems. Only 80 percent of respondents said their stereo was fixed right the first time. And in last month's Vehicle Dependability Study, J.D. Power reported that infotainment systems were the most commonly reported vehicle issue, accounting for 22 percent of all problems reported, up 2 percent from the previous year. J.D. Power surveyed 70,000 customers for the Customer Service Index Study. For the Vehicle Dependability Study, it surveyed 35,186 first owners of 2014 model-year vehicles after three years of ownership. Below are charts for both the current study and the complementary overall brand dependability survey. Related video:
