Lexus Is Is F Neiman Marcus Special Build 16 Of 50 on 2040-cars
Greenwood, Florida, United States
2008 Lexus IS F Special Build #16 of 50. Full Lexus Warranty until 3/11/16. 5.0L 32v V8.I love this car. The ONLY reason I'm selling is because I now have 3 kids (2, 3, & 6) and they aren't allowed in the F so anytime we go anywhere we end up taking the minivan. I live very close to my work and the trip back and forth is the only time I drive it which is such a waste for this beast. I did a little calculating and I've only been driving it under 4,500 miles a year so it's time to let somebody else enjoy it.This is an adult driven and car enthusiast owned vehicle that has been carefully driven and immaculately cared for (no burnouts etc). I have always spent a couple weekends each year fully detailing the car inside and out with Griot's Garage products (clay bar, polish, wax, etc) in addition to regular hand washes. I have all service records and paperwork that have been kept in a binder since I bought it, including the original sticker. Serviced almost exclusively at Lexus of Clearwater and just had the oil changed last month. Both keys are included.Details:2008 Lexus IS F Special Build #16 of 50. This is one of the first 50 IS F's off the assembly line and was featured and sold through the famous Neiman Marcus Christmas catalog making it rare and collectable in addition to being a awesome daily driver.-Just over 46k miles-LEXUS PLATINUM WARRANTY. I jumped through some hoops when I bought this car to purchase the official Lexus Financial Platinum extended warranty and not some 3rd party junk warranty. I had to purchase out of state to get it done but this is the best warranty available and you can use at any Lexus dealership and it IS transferrable. It doesn't expire until 3/11/16 or 75k miles. I highly doubt you find another one under warranty so you have some extra peace of mind.- Window tint-Custom Sunshade-WeatherTech Digifit floor mats (front and back)-New front brake pads, Brembo rotors, and water pump replaced 4k miles ago-Entire NAV system/screen replaced in '13 under warranty -There are really only two flaws on this car to speak of. 1. Is rock chips on the front bumper which seems to be unavoidable with Lexus paint (high quality and beautiful, but soft) and 2. A dent on the underside of front bumper from a parking lot stop. Because you can't see it I chose to not get it repaired. There are a few other paint imperfects but very minor.- It will need front tires in the near future as well. There's about 14k miles on the current set and I'll leave it up to the new owner to select the brand/model of tires they prefer when the time comes.I've been following these cars for years and I rarely see them come up for sale. The last one I saw was #6 of 50 and that sold for $38,990 in March of this year in Sarasota, FL.Title in hand. Cash buyer preferred but I'm willing to work with a buyer that is financing as well. I know PedFed.org has very competitive rates and there is a local dealer I have in mind that can facilitate financing if needed. Even if you don't use them you can probably use their rates to negotiate a lower rate with your lender. It think used car loans with them are currently at 1.99% APR.I did just have the vehicle serviced at Lexus of Clearwater but you are free to have it inspected yourself at your expense if you would like.Please email me with any questions. Thanks a lot!

J.D. Power: Mini, Lexus again offer most satisfying sales experience
Thu, 29 Nov 2012JD Power has released its annual Sales Satisfaction Index Study, and once again Mini and Lexus have taken top honors. Overall, buyers are more satisfied with the auto-buying sales experience than they were last year, with those surveyed reporting an average score of 664 points on a 1,000-point scale. That's up from 648 in 2011. Dealer satisfaction also increased by five points over last year as well.
All told, Lexus brought home an index score of 737, which was high enough to put it atop the luxury brands for the second year in a row. JD Power says Infiniti came in second in that category with a score of 728 and Cadillac rounded out the podium with it's rating of 725. Speaking of Infiniti, that brand saw the single largest jump in sales satisfaction of any brand on the survey, popping up 52 index points over 2011.
Among mass-market brands, Mini ranked highest with a score of 712, followed closely by Buick with 706 and GMC farther down the line with 683. You can check out the full press release below for more information.

The Lexus LC 500h has a four-speed auto and that's a good thing
Thu, Feb 18 2016Lexus is sharing some powertrain details on the LC 500h ahead of the big hybrid coupe's debut in Geneva. Its new gas-electric setup strays from Toyota's tried-and-true system found in everything from the Prius to the Lexus GS. It's called the Multi Stage Hybrid System that's designed for performance vehicles, and it has an antiquated-sounding piece of equipment buried deep inside that's supposed to make it more enjoyable to drive. The basics: In the LC 500h, its first application, the Multi Stage Hybrid System will consist of a 3.5-liter V6, a hybrid transmission, and a lithium-ion battery pack. The hybrid transmission has an electric motor for motivation (and we're guessing a second for charging) and a four-speed automatic mounted to its rear, which either means inside or aft and in series. Why add ancient tech to a new hybrid system? Lexus says it preserves the connection between throttle input and engine speed that gets lost in a CVT. And while four seems like an insignificant sum in the face of nine- and 10-speed autos, remember that it is an infinite increase in gear count compared to CVT-packing hybrids. Toyota has been using versions of the Hybrid Synergy Drive system since the first Prius debuted in 1997, and the same system is sold under the Lexus Hybrid Drive banner in most of the luxury brand's offerings. These systems use what Toyota calls an e-CVT – two electric motors paired with a planetary gearset. This lets the engine and electric motors share the job of propelling the car – one motor handles charging of the battery and the other is primarily used to drive the wheels but can also recoup energy through regen. Like a conventional CVT, the planetary gearset arrangement allows the gas engine to run at its optimal engine speed when called upon for motivation and/or charging. But that doesn't make for the most exciting or familiar driving experience, as it affects both power delivery and the sound of the power being delivered. This is where the four-speed auto comes in. Based on the limited details Lexus has shared, our hunch is that the hybrid transmission will meld some form of the existing Lexus Hybrid Drive system with two more planetary gearsets, or the basic guts of a four-speed auto. This will provide the four fixed ratios and the feeling of actual shifting gears – because there will be actual gears shifting.
