It's 13 years old, but still runs great. Timing belt, water pump, spark plugs, brakes (for rear brakes, calipers too), brake light assemblies replaced recently. Features and issues below:
1) New Timing belt, Water pump and Spark plugs (December 2013)
2) O2 sensors replaced (March 2013)
3) Front brake replaced (rotors and pads), (December 2013)
4) Remote starter installed. Great in winter (cost 200 including installation)
5) New brake light assembly (right and left), New LED license plate light (blue).
6) GPS (Pioneer AVIC D3). Working, but sometimes goes wrong. Radio function has no problem.
7) Right side headlight ballast and lamp replaced recently. HID and very bright.
8) I have to sell 4 very new snow tires mounted on original wheels. About 600 dollars worth. You need them for FR cars in winter.
9) New Tires on New Wheels, purchased in April. About 700 dollars.
10) Automatic transmission slightly not smooth from 1st to 2nd and 3rd. But no noise or any other issue. Some people might complain, but if you look for a perfectly smooth transmission for used cars, you should look for a newer economy car, not this car, or you should pay more to get a newer one, I recommend,
11) Passenger Seat heater not working. 
12) automatic mode of airconditioner somewhat awkward. It's very cold and hot, but you need to switch manually. Maybe the sensor broken.
13) no major dents, but many scratches especially underparts. Left side rear bumper slightly distorted. the roof is very clean..

It's 2001 car and 155k miles, so has some issues as almost all cars as old as this one have. But I can say confidently that I did all I could do on this car. I keep all service records since I purchased it. The basic function as a car is no problem so far. I can't guarantee that it will never break down with a year or so like all other private sellers, but if you look for a better car within the same budget, why not trying to find a newer economy car such as Civics and Corollas or any other economy cars? This is a sporty sedan with much better steering and engine power. I am expecting buyers who want sporty cars within limited budget. KBB fair price is around 4000.

I prefer written communication first because I am a student from the country where this Lexus was made and people speak English terribly....But I will do my best and be sincere to my prospective buyers.

Rebooted Apple program gets permit to test autonomous vehicles in California

Fri, Apr 14 2017

For a while, Apple has been pursuing autonomous vehicle technology, but has more or less tried to keep the specifics of those ambitions under wraps. We did learn last fall that the company was killing off plans to build its own car, and clues about its program to develop a self-driving system popped up since. Today, though, we have more concrete information, as the California DMV has issued Apple a permit to test self-driving cars in the state, as TechCrunch reports. In a document released by the DMV, the tech company joins a number of others in California with approval to test autonomous vehicles. Apple will test its systems on three cars, each a 2015 Lexus RX540h, with six approved drivers. Presumably, those cars will be on the road quite a bit, as gathering lots of data is crucial to developing a working system. Per California rules, the company will have to provide accident reports, as well as a log of every instance that a human driver has to take over driving duties from the autonomous system in what the DMV calls a "disengagement report." Those reports will be made public, so we'll be able to glean a little more information about Apple's progress once they're available.

Toyota adds 1.6m cars to Takata inflator recall list

Tue, May 24 2016

As part of the Takata airbag inflator recall expansion announced by NHTSA earlier this month, Toyota has listed an additional 1.6 million cars that will need to have inflators or airbag assemblies replaced. This brings the total of recalled Toyota, Scion, and Lexus vehicles to 4.73 million. Other automakers will announce their expanded recall lists this week as well. This round of recalls affects some but not all vehicles with the following model names and years: 2009–2011 Toyota Corolla and Matrix 2006–2011 Toyota Yaris 2010–2011 Toyota 4Runner 2011 Toyota Sienna 2008–2011 Scion xB 2007–2011 Lexus ES 2010–2011 Lexus GX 2006–2011 Lexus IS To see if your specific vehicle falls under recall, write down your VIN and go to toyota.com/recall; you can also check any recalls, Takata or otherwise, at safercar.gov/vin. Toyota will inform owners of affected vehicles by mail. Depending on the model, either the inflator or the entire airbag assembly will have to be replaced. Due to the number of vehicles that have already been recalled, it may take some time for the necessary parts to be available. A total of 11 deaths have been attributed to the faulty Takata inflators, and federal investigators now know why the parts are prone to failure. The state of Hawaii was the first to sue the auto supplier, with more states expected to follow. The 17 other automakers are required to announce their additions resulting from the May 4 expansion this week, so expect more of the 35 to 40 million vehicles to be listed soon.

Lexus IS to get Deviant at SEMA

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

It's time to start gathering intel on SEMA, and it starts with this drawing of a modified 2014 Lexus IS. Lexus ran a competition on DeviantART, an online community for artists, to find a suitably modified IS that it could build and display at the temple of all things aftermarket in Las Vegas. The winner, as judged by a four-person panel from among more than 600 entries, is the IS rendered above by Rob Evans.
The winner looks like the beginning of a build for an IS entry into Japan's Super GT series, with a seriously exaggerated front spoiler and rear diffuser and fender flares that aren't just punched out, they're throwing 12-punch combinations.
Evans will have his car built by VIP Auto Salon and plastered all over Lexus materials promoting its presence at the show. Oh, and he gets an IS F-Sport for a year, among other prizes. Second place went to Lucia Lee, third place to Guangho Huang. A press release below has more on the competition and the winner.
